Alex Berenson: The White House Specifically Demanded That Twitter Ban Me.
And Then Twitter Did.
Biden Administration officials asked Twitter to ban me because of my tweets questioning the Covid vaccines, even as company employees believed I had followed Twitter's rules, internal Twitter communications reveal. In a White House meeting in April 2021, four months before Twitter suspended my account, the company faced "one really tough question about why Alex Berenson hasn't been kicked off from the platform," a Twitter employee wrote. The employee recounted the meeting discussion afterwards on Twitter's internal Slack messaging system. The message, and others, make clear that top federal officials targeted me specifically, potentially violating my basic First Amendment right to free speech. The First Amendment does not apply to private companies like Twitter. But if the companies are acting on behalf of the federal government they can become "state actors" that must allow free speech and debate, just as the government does. Previous efforts to file state action lawsuits against the government and social media companies for working together to ban users have failed. Courts have universally held that people who have been banned have not shown the specific demands from government officials that are necessary to support state action claims. In my case, though, federal officials appear to have gone far beyond generically encouraging Twitter to support Covid vaccines or discourage "misinformation" (i.e. information that the government does not like). Instead, top officials targeted me personally. Andrew Slavitt, senior advisor to President Biden's Covid response team, complained specifically about me, according to a Twitter employee in another Slack conversation discussing the White House meeting. "They really wanted to know about Alex Berenson," the employee wrote. "Andy Slavitt suggested they had seen data viz [visualization] that had showed he was the epicenter of disinfo that radiated outwards to the persuadable public."By the way: Andy Slavitt's idea of "disinformation" is the right-wing claim that monkeypox is primarily spread by gay men having gay sex, a "myth" he was recently attempting to pressure people to stop spreading on social media.
From Twitter's intracompany Slack channel:
According to an interview he gave to the Washington Post in June 2021, Slavitt worked directly with the most powerful officials in the federal government, including Ron Klain, President Biden's chief of staff, and Biden himself. The Slack conversations also show the pressure Twitter employees felt internally to respond to the government's questions about whether the company was doing enough to suppress "misinformation" about Covid and the vaccines. An employee writes that the questions at the meeting were "pointed" but "mercifully, we had answers."
Twitter continued to crackdown on dissenting political views this week with the permanent suspension of columnist and commentator Paul Sperry. The suspension came down after Sperry allegedly tweeted about the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago. Sperry said that Twitter gave "No warning, no explanation, reason given." That is a signature for the company, which has little transparency or ability to challenge such private censorship. Twitter has a long and documented history of suspending those with dissenting political, social, or scientific views, particularly before major elections. Sperry says that he tweeted the following:Its own corporate agenda -- and also the agenda urged on it by a censorship-crazed government. The undisclosed Google and FaceBook lobbyists scream bloody murder when Josh Hawley proposes adjusting the Community Decency Act to require political neutrality in moderation for monopoly or near-monopoly-sized platforms only, but when their Silicon Daddies are caught repeatedly taking direct orders from a leftwing White House about which conservatives and which dissenters to ban, the "Muh Corporations" Cartel can't be f***ed to say a thing. All Green Lights from the National Review MuhCorporations Smart Set on this? You guys don't even want to sound a warning horn to your MuhCorporations buds at Google at FaceBook to stop having these private confabs with the government where they receive their orders as censorship deputies? You don't even want to instruct the White House you supposedly oppose to stop imposing censorship through third-party deputy corporations? Rich Lowry? AEI "Fellow" Ramesh Ponuru? You're supporters of this? No problem with it? Weird, National Review has previously been against "public-private partnerships" to accomplish what the government is forbidden from doing, and corporate fascism generally. I guess now you've "evolved" on this issue, as you've evolved on so many other issues. Do you have any idea how this looks when you all collectively pretend you all "didn't see these stories" each and every time they appear? Do you know what conclusions people are drawing about your integrity? And not just the editors -- all of the writers who very conspicuously refuse to cross Google and FaceBook, but then wear National Review's legacy like a skinsut and demand respect. If you want to defend this, then defend this. Earn your Google money. But stop pretending "We were absent from work the entire year and a half the Biden Administration was openly pressuring the social media companies to deplatform conservative writers and dissenting covid researchers and scientists." Start writing The Conservative Case for "Public-Private Partnerships" to Create Compassionate Censorship Codes to Safeguard's America's Purity of Thought.Sperry went on to note that "the current deputy general counsel at Twitter is also the former general counsel at FBI HQ under Comey. His name as you may know is James Baker, and he was the top attorney who reviewed the fraudulent anti-Trump FISA wiretap warrants for probable cause." Obviously, all of those points can be -- and have been contested -- by others. However, that is the point. Social media should be a place for the exchange of viewpoints as part of our national dialogue on controversies like the Mar-a-Lago raid. Twitter, however, has long dispensed with any pretense of neutrality in limiting such discussion to fit its own corporate agenda.
Funny, don't remember the FBI raiding Chappaqua or Whitehaven to find the 33,000 potential classified documents Hillary Clinton deleted. And she was just a former secretary of state, not a former president. DEVELOPING: Investigators reportedly met back in June w Trump & his lawyers in Mar-a-Lago storage rm to survey docs & things seemed copasetic but then FBI raids weeks later. Speculation on Hill FBI had PERSONAL stake & searching for classified docs related to its #Spygate scandal.

I can't believe it, but I only saw Mr. Smith Goes To Washington for the first time last Saturday evening. In it, Mr. Taylor (the movie's antagonist) ordered all the media within Sen. Smith's state to embargo any news that reported what he was saying in his filibuster. Taylor's side even hired goons to take out the kids that were spreading news of the truth.
The movie is close to 100 years old, and it must have been thought fanciful that it could really happen.

Berenson and his specific claims aside, there is something in the excerpted Slack transcript that is very, very telling.
How was WH?
Overall, pretty good! they had only one really tough question about why Alex Berenson hasn't been kicked off from the platform; otherwise their questions were pointed but fair - and mercifully we had answers.
That's an interesting statement. They "mercifully had answers." That isn't the way someone talks about meeting an outsider unless it's something like a criminal or regulatory investigation. This is the way corporate people talk about having to stand and deliver to the boss on a controversial topic or when he has to defend himself and his department to the higher execs.
That language makes it pretty clear to me that the government is directing Twitter pretty routinely, and expects answers from Twitter about its directions. This is Twitter going to talk to the boss.
Or I'm reading way too much into it. Regardless, the whole thing is clearly rotten to its core.

The fact that talk of "persuasion" and "manipulation" is always on their filthy mouths and blowjob lips when discussing matters in private is just confirmation that my theory is sound.
Once you start looking at everything through the persuasion lens, it all falls very neatly into place. You never look at anything the same again. And you certainly never have to ask "why".

They're common, both within the social networks and when run from outside the networks. Charting connections and activity is high-value work if you can process and visualize those data accurately and competently.

Of course. And it is intentional and it is a good bet that at least 85% - if not 100% - of the leaks are lies. They're going to flood the zone with "sources say" speculation. Some will be contradictory, some will be fanciful, some will be absurd - but all will be covered. Let it stew for a bit, let everyone start infighting and defending their own favorite "sources say" version of events, and let the reality get lost in the noise as the story fades out of the mainstream because everyone's annoyed at the inconsistency and throws up their hands in disgust.

It's a description of the emoji, which is normal when Slack is accessed via plaintext (or a log, like this one).
The emoji is the "crossed fingers" icon (exactly what it sounds like) and the "skin tone" was "3" which, IIRC, is "generic white guy skin." You see, all of the body-part emojis (thumbs-up, smile, frown, etc.) weren't equitable enough and making a Persons of Color use the default yellow color that all these emoticons used to be was racist, so they added color to them and you can specify the skin tone you want so that you can feel represented with your emoji use.

But how are they disseminating the information? Why are they sooo uptight about devulging ANY documents,emails,DO)J,FBI info ??? Just like a magician's trick when you see how they do it . It is a very easy thing for one person with subordinates that have thousands of followers on social media of phone contacts to text,email "marching orders" We are getting out asses kicked by college weirdo wienies that now have control of OUR military..

Okay - these were boxes that were shipped to Trump by the GSA or some other Gov - note the markings or labels for each which are specific to the shipping manifest you would get from the US Gov - I know - I was a supply officer in the Navy.
They shipped him the documents, he probably has no idea yet what is in them, probably suggested to the NARA he'll be happy to take a look in them and give them anything back they missent not associated with his declassifications - and Garland got too much pressure to wait...its all about clerks and records - the whole fucking thing.

Also, there's an interesting Vice article from 9/9/21 - Big Tech has made Billions off the 20-year War on Terror
Lastly, who do you think might take many of the direct hire jobs for the IRS and other federal agencies? If the tech companies are "hitting the brakes" on hiring and/or laying off, there's a very good chance... (And for many of those jobs, they won't have to be armed, etc. with more than credentials and gov laptop & phone.)

In his book The Spanish Civil War, Stanley Payne concludes that the reason Franco rose was that he decided that it was more dangerous to do nothing than to do something
Yes, it is often ignored by leftwing historians - but the leftwing Spanish government decided to take advantage of its close fought election victory by murdering and imprisoning opposition figures.
If the "Republican Spain" weren't led by a bunch of murderous commies there would have been no civil war.

See, as a certain fellow of low birth and even lower cunning, I've had great luck figuring out what is or is not legal. It's not that hard.
Ignore the rules as written, and pay attention to who has the power and what they want. What they want is legal. What they don't - is not.
Even on matters of politics, I can guess what will be found legal three out of four times. Ignore the rules, they're a distraction anyway. Watch the power.
