As Elon has said, we are in a full blown war and the outcome of this war will determine much of our, and our children's, future. Not just in the US but across the whole Western world and beyond.

And most people are not even aware that this most crucial conflict of their lifetime is taking place.

I think Elon is still getting played. A friend got her account permanently suspended yesterday without explanation or warning. Still hasn’t gotten one. It just so happened to occur after retweeting, without comment, 2 project Veritas posts about child trafficking at the border.

What’s really odd is she only opened a Twitter account for the 1st time like 2 weeks ago. She said she followed like 200 accounts (her profile thing showed 0 follows and o following - I guess because of the suspension) 🤷‍♀️. She showed me her timeline feed at tennis this morning. She hadn’t made any comments in days based on scrolling through it and she said she only ever made a handful of bland comments.

At first she was impressed at what was being allowed and the accounts being reinstated, but now wants nothing to do with Twitter. She said maybe her account was spammy from retweeting, but she retweeted less yesterday than previous days. There were no notifications in her notification thing. Very weird.

I wish Elon well, but unless he literally starts over I think it’s more likely he blew $44billion than anything else. I pay a lot to Substack authors each month. I wouldn’t consider paying a dime to Twitter after what she showed me. It was so bland and so odd to be permanently suspended for it

Maybe an overzealous algo, as he went after child porn. He’s going going to reopen banned accounts next week.

I agree with most of what you said. I don’t really know what happened. Twitter has never really appealed to me as a platform. Everyone is so grumpy and people texted me the funny memes anyway. I don’t need to be the first to see them.

For the sake of sanity I hope Elon Musk succeeds. The stuff today was a reminder he has a very long way to go and getting rid of the algorithms hasn’t happened. It will take time. But also, with how screwed up these tech compares are, failure is possible and Twitter is still worth avoiding, for me anyway.

I don’t think of Twitter much at all. My friend got a notification her account was in fact permanently suspended. She still hasn’t been given a reason. I’m not going to have anything to do with it for a very long time, if ever. I do hope Twitter improves, but mostly I think it’s ultimately laying the groundwork for social credit systems and I want no part in that.

Incredible that it takes the wealthiest man in the World to throw his shoulder into the monopoly / censorship powers. If Apple / Google / Amazon took out Twitter like they took out Parler, I'm pretty sure they would not enjoy the massive customer loss when Elon puts out the far superior Tesla phone and operating system. Now we just have to pray he's not ultimately one of them.

Your last sentence. That’s my concern too.

Don't be so quick to assume that they actually care about "customers." You have to keep in mind, this kind of corporate driven social engineering is what ESG is all about. Banks will float these companies that are making extremally poor business decisions, so that they can keep pushing social issues.

Look at Disney. They are loosing customers left and right. What do they do in response -- they double down on the kind of behavior that drove customers away. Nobody in the business world does that, at least not in a legitimate market. ESG is how the major money players take control of these companies and keep them running. If they make money, that's nice too.

I think you misunderstand. I'm not saying that only ESG companies will thrive. I'm saying that ESG is used to steer overall company policy. ESG banking results in loans that are not market based. That's the whole point of ESG, it's to coerce businesses into jumping through hoops, checking boxes, and pushing social engineering, while simultaneously benefitting from it.

ESG is garbage, and I don't think it will stand the test of time. Companies that are alienating their customers -- in the face of massive profit losses, wouldn't do so unless they were being back funded, or propped up somehow. Investors are going to run when the business starts making poor decisions, but those ESG bankers are right there to help out.

I'm not betting on anything. I just think that the puppet masters are nowhere near as scared as some think they are. Sure they don't like unrest, and demonstrations, but they control the underlying systems that make the majority of economies work, fiat currencies.

Crypto currencies are going to be used as control mechanisms. That's the whole point. Crypto currencies also keep people from owning anything physical (at least with real intrinsic value) cash does too, but it works without power. You are right about owning some gold. Something with true intrinsic value.

The only reason that Bitcoin has any value is because you can convert it to a fiat currency and pay a bill, or a mortgage with it. I know that there are some banks out there that will accept Bitcoin directly, but fewer are going to jump on now that the Crypto markets are crashing.

ESG is simply a mechanism to damage the underpinnings of society. It's another tool to make larger corporations collective useful idiots.

Will the WEF goons win in the end? That I don't know. I do know that they have been able to convince/coerce billions of people to take an overtly dangerous vaccine* the long-term effects of which we are just now starting to see. The WEF has been setting up this perfect storm of BS for years, and they have wargammed most of the outcomes, not all, but most. I think people worldwide being spontaneous is what's going to do them in. Their entire game is based on predictability. Throw that out the window, and it all falls apart very quickly.

If Elon DOES create is own phone to go against Apple, he should call it "Oranges".

Brilliant. Comparing Apples to Oranges.

Unfortunately Orange is already trademarked by another telecom company.

Will the virtuous sell their Teslas because Elon bad? They loved the man a mere six months ago. It's incredible to watch the pivot.

It’s also a distraction for Appple’s cencurship of protesters in China. Look here, not there. The usual Dems and China hand in hand cooperation.

The people calling for twitter being shut down over free speech are COMMUNISTS plain and simple. There is no such thing as hate speech, only FREE speech. If you don't like what someone else is saying, move on, change the channel, etc..

Great information. I have to agree with you that Apple is hurting their brand. I have always used iPhones and for the first time in decades I'm looking at something else because of these shenanigans. Have to do want you can to limit your money going to companies that prove themselves to be bad actors.

Make TWITTER our major 'commenting platform' to beat the Dark Elite who sponsor the denial of FREE SPEECH! They're running scared because Elon is destroying their next step towards De-population and Slavery.

We, the people, do not support Bill Gates's World Health Organisation's intention to take over the Sovereignty of each independent Country in order to declare the next FALSE PANDEMIC and again enforce ridiculous reactions that will no doubt, mirror the Covid 19 farce!!

The WHO is financed by Bill Gates (being the highest financial 'contributor' = 'INFLUENCER'). Bill Gates states "The most lucrative investment I ever made = VACCINES".

Bill Gates believes the Planet is vastly over-populated! Join the dots! The WHO will be 'influenced' by Gates to invent the next pretend SCAMDEMIC in order to reintroduce LOCKDOWNS, SOCIAL DISTANCING, (aka 'House Arrest'), MANDATORY (Profitable) Injections, Mask wearing, further unreasonable destruction of Nation's finances through stupid money printing. This will further impact 'the ARTIFICIAL INFLATION" that was required by the WEF to speed up Poverty and reach Adolf Schwab's insane theory that "THEY WILL OWN NOTHING, but THEY WILL BE HAPPY" and "LET THEM EAT BUGS".

The WEF is out of control and trying to create a depopulated planet whose remaining survivors (mainly the UNVAXXED) will become SLAVES to the (self-described) 'Elite'. Sorry, but time's up WEF! We don't need your insanity, so bow out gracefully or face the inevitable!

Apple turned off a private communication tool in China just before major protests broke out

Protesters were using Apple's AirDrop feature to directly share uncensored messages.

I just read an article on Robert Malone's substack titled 'wordwide covid-19 religious restrictions'. Towards the end of the article, Malone made this comment:

'Elon Musk has the receipts on the collusion between the US Government, WHO and Twitter, and he is in position to extract concessions in return for withholding those data'

I heard a lawyer opine about why Musk purchased twitter and this sentence falls in line with what the lawyer said, that Musk bought twitter in order to protect himself from certain entities.

If the lawyer and Malone are right, the big hull-a-balloo going on may amount to nothing much.

As far as Musk goes, I'm still neutral. Right now, his interests coincide with those of us who are anti narrative, I'm guessing that will continue.

As far as Apple not speaking out against Chinese authoritarianism, along with pretty much all western governments and all kinds of other entities...are you kidding me? They're chomping at the bit to treat us in the same manner. Trudeau is a China admirer for good reason. Emperor speaks, we obey.

If things keep going in this direction your cell phone is a titillating device that will one day put you in the ground. IMHO

I'm glad you mentioned that people can still reach the mobile site via browser. So many pundits are treating Apple's and Google's move as a death knell, when it is nothing of the sort.

Make TWITTER our major 'commenting platform' to beat the Dark Elite who sponsor the denial of FREE SPEECH! They're running scared because Elon is destroying their next step towards De-population and Slavery. Next steps include deliberate INFLATION, WHO Takeover, the next false Scamdemic and to give the WHO Total control of every Nations independence and Sovereignty.
