Elon is quite the enigma. He could in this instance, wittingly or not, be a useful idiot for the (veiled) global oligarchy, enabling it to save face while pulling back a bit on the censorship, lest a critical mass overcome its incredulity of the democide underway and public outrage boils over.

I do not think wearing a vest proves you belong to the club. He is not listed, is he? At least I did not find him in the WEF annals.

It seems not much is as we believe it is. All is smoke and mirrors. It is purposefully being done to deceive and divide. Not a good situation. Like many of the smoke and mirror - "now you see it now you don't" - of all this Musk can appear as a WEF partner but play another role entirely in the grand circus being put on for our edification.

Why, exactly, would someone wear a NWO jacket? There is a good website that explores the occult symbolism that permeates our world: vigilantcitizen.com.

Yeah, I know, I would've rolled my eyes at this stuff two years ago, but not anymore; not after what we've lived through. These symbols cannot be accidental.

Maybe Alex and other substackers are globalist agents, too. Probably not. It's important to not become obsessive about perfection -- you won't find it. Celebrate victories, and you'll get more.

Wait and see.

Remember gugle, youtube, fakebook and the old bird started off being soft and fluffy. Once they attained critical mass and hence traction, they showed their true colours.

I do not accept that any rich man throws good money away for no return of some kind.

good point. gates confessed on camera that his mission of jabbing the world has a return of 1 to 20. For every dollar spent he gets 20 back, untaxed because it is a Foundation !

Michael, would you return to twitter? i'm not sure that I want to. Why? Its all about data and tracking.

How satisfying the sackings of the Twitter CEO et al -all perpetrators of anti free speech and censorship.

Can China hugging Musk really be trusted?

True, I’m a bit weary of it all myself, but if my account were reinstated then I would certainly use it.

Me too, as twitter is a public space for sharing ideas. Bannon had an excellent interview today with lawyer Josh Hammer who has a new article in the Spectator on the issue that social media is a human right as are bank accounts that should not be arbitrarily shut down. Look at Paypal reintroduce ng the $2,500 fine for wrongthink. Arseholes! Can't let these ruthless, lawless corps to get away with this. Hammer is arguing to break up these huge tech monopolies as they have way too much power.

The real joke on we being played is that Musk is the deep state. No end to this many ringed circus.

Musk could not pay me enough to go back to Twitter even if they reinstate my old account with full follower list. These rich pigs swanning around the internet, acting as if they are bountiful and giving make my skin crawl. When Google relists all the websites it has deleted I will celebrate. Until then the predator class can kiss my ass.

I'm afraid I'll believe it when I see it. I remain suspicious of the real agenda.

haha, been kicked off since August. They had me shadowbanned there so it was a waste of time anyway w/o reach. I wonder how far this will go, getting Milo back would absolutely wreck some of them. They are suppossedly migrating to a Dem site named Tribil or something.

Real censorship is a multi-layered process. In order to prevent popularity of an idea, you have to prevent the idea from being spoken.

To get started, you foster an environment where everyone has their own subjective definition of every single word. This can be done by giving everyone nuggets of positive reinforcement (Henceforth referred to as "gold stars") every time they perform behavior that demonstrates their willingness to create their own subjective lexicons. An example of this is to demonstrate clever-sounding hand-waving to describe a situation. The more grandiose the hand-waving, the bigger the gold star.

This is the first layer of censorship: Rewarding acceptable behavior. The source of these gold stars must be an interface for authority.

This creates the second layer: Associating positivity with interfaces of authority.

This naturally creates an environment where failure to provide gold stars (by failing to accept the hand-waving) is not just a simple misunderstanding of semantics, but is, instead, a direct call for violent, identity-preserving confrontation.

This is the third layer: Punishing those who do not provide gold stars. The interface for authority can never dole out the punishment since the positive Pavlovian reinforcement must never be broken. This means that the offended must be free and even encouraged to punish the offender.

This creates the last layer of censorship:** Self-censorship**. Once fear of confrontation has taken hold as the law of the land, people will voluntarily eliminate their own ideas (and anything that is similar) out of fear that simply having them will provoke conflict.
