Historic speech from Taibbi. Will it break the silence of the mainstream?

[KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat]

Matt Taibbi's opening statement on the Twitter Files and the censorship industrial complex:

"Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government, from the FBI, DHS, HHS, DOD, the Global Engagement Center at State, even the CIA. For every government agency scanning Twitter, there were perhaps twenty quasi-private entities doing the same thing."

Congratulations to @toby00green and @battleforeurope on the launch of Covid Consensus. Perhaps the lesson of the past 3 years is that we all need to be a bit more like Larry. @JamesHeartfield @thephilippics @DanielHadas2 @DrJBhattacharya @collateralglbl https://t.co/zF3UuhnXK7

We am play gods! :(

@edwardhadas When I have finished reading I will come back with some suggestion. Perhaps over lunch? But I feel a conference of like-minded and unlike-minded people is probably a good start. Let’s get the right people together!

[David Adam @omegacities]

@edwardhadas @AdrianPabst1 post-liberalism?

[David Adam @omegacities]

@battleforeurope @toby00green Looking forward to reading it. @Barnes_Russell - a great starting place for some of our discussions.

[David Adam @omegacities]

@edwardhadas I will buy the FT again. Just for this 😉

[David Adam @omegacities]

Because world leaders have such a successful track record in nation building at home and abroad 🙄

[Project Syndicate @ProSyn]

Before committing significant funds to the reconstruction of #Ukraine, world leaders need to address difficult questions about how its recovery ought to be structured, argue @YGorodnichenko, @IlonaSologoub, @AnastassiaFedyk. https://t.co/OrovovmBOm

What a return!

[Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson]

It doesn’t stop infection.
Or transmission.

Don’t think of it as a vaccine.

Think of it - at best - as a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile that must be dosed IN ADVANCE OF ILLNESS.

And we want to mandate it?
Insanity.

[David Adam @omegacities]

@HunkyManger Ha! Shouldn’t it be Dr Whx?

[Mary Harrington @moveincircles]

Elite progressive female knowledge workers ram these policies through, because it’s in their class interests to pretend biology doesn’t exist and there’s little downside for them. They should answer for the misery they’re inflicting on less privileged women

[Martin Kulldorff @MartinKulldorff]

"Researchers found that among 11 wealthy peer nations, Sweden was the only one with no excess mortality among individuals under 75. None, zero, zip."

It would definitely make a good movie. Something weird going on here

[Venkatesh Rao ☀️ @vgr]

Curiouser and curiouser

I sense a deep disturbance in the SV force

[Ben Goldsmith @BenGoldsmith]

The lockdowns and other restrictions worldwide had zero effect in slowing the spread of Covid, but they did unleash the greatest fall in living standards since records began. Covid self-righteousness rings more hollow by the day. https://t.co/gU21ExMGoU

[David Adam @omegacities]

More of the criminality and inhumanity enacted by politicians and the healthcare industry. The crime is not whether Johnson and Sunak should resign on being fined, but that they presided over these monstrous policies in the first place with full support from media and Labour

[Alan D Miller @alanvibe]

This is just so wrong

What an amazingly strong man with such a heartbreaking story

I don’t often get teary eyed. But this is what lockdowns meant for so many @BorisJohnson @sajidjavid @10DowningStreet

We won’t forget. We will stop any further attempt

[David Adam @omegacities]

More stories of the total inhumanity of lockdowns. Outrage at Johnson and Sunak’s being fined is misplaced. The true moral abomination is that they presided over policies which enabled these kind of crimes against kinship. It’s simply ideology against kin.

[Remembering Ruby @KindlyLoudly]

While Boris & Rishi partied, we tried to give Ruby the best possible end of life.

A hot tub & a blow up flamingo were all we could manage. No friends, grandparents or cousins. Not even for 10 minutes.

She had to say goodbye on Zoom.

We deserve better.

@snowded @fullydavid @rrtrent892 @NoraBateson @christopbramley @AnthroComplex @sonjabl @ValdisKrebs No doubt. You helped guide many on sensemaking, but one doesn’t have to probe too hard to recognise Rebel Wisdom is a good faith actor and that accusations of political extremism are totally unwarranted. Something else is spamming your signal.
