Yep, Twitter Was in the FBI's Pocket

It's all right there in black and white

If you haven’t read the latest round of Twitter Files yet, it’s finally getting to the good stuff: Hunter’s laptop.

1. TWITTER FILES: PART 7 The FBI & the Hunter Biden Laptop How the FBI & intelligence community discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both after and *before* The New York Post revealed the contents of his laptop on October 14, 2020

In Twitter Files #7, we present evidence pointing to an organized effort by representatives of the intelligence community (IC), aimed at senior executives at news and social media companies, to discredit leaked information about Hunter Biden before and after it was published.

It’s true. It’s all there. That’s what happened. Twitter was in the pocket of the FBI. The feds said jump, and Yoel Roth asked how high.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation came up with a good lie, and Twitter figured out which rule they could claim was being broken:

Twitter struggled to come up with a justification for censoring the laptop which wouldn’t reek of corruption to the public.

Then the mainstream press decided to believe the lie. And now they’re pretending it doesn’t matter that it was a lie. They’re entirely complicit in this cover-up, and they’d really rather not talk about it.

The Aspen Institute hosted reporters, media companies and social media firms in Sept. 2020 to prep for a possible Russian hack of Hunter Biden, one month before the NY Post story, at a time when the FBI had the laptop and had Giuliani under surveillance. Amazing coincidence. https://t.co/Y3QrutFv5u

30. Efforts continued to influence Twitter's Yoel Roth. In Sept 2020, Roth participated in an Aspen Institute “tabletop exercise” on a potential "Hack-and-Dump" operation relating to Hunter Biden The goal was to shape how the media covered it — and how social media carried it https://t.co/lQSorONUSh

Selling such a huge lie to the American public was worth it to all of them, just to kick Trump out of the White House. It was the same principle behind Twitter’s years-long censorship campaign against conservatives: The peasants were too stupid to know what was good for them, so their betters sold them a comforting lie.

All of this just confirms what we’ve suspected for the past two years. As goofy as Elon Musk is, I’m glad he’s allowing the truth to finally come out.
