    Tell me this wasn't always the plan when these CIA-venture-capital-funded silicon valley "social media" sites popped up and corralled all internet discussion into a handful of forums under their total control? Next up, once Comcast gobbles up Charter and Verizon, they will become the single source of internet access, and will begin banning DNS server addresses for the same 'sensitive content'.

    Meanwhile, Jewish pornography and subliminal sound bytes and idiotic GIFs from our slave masters will continue to permeate these online "communities"... If there ever is a revolution in this country, it will be in the streets, not on twitter or facebook... How and when, I do not know, but there's only so much freedom you can take away from people before they snap, and we're humming right along to that point in time where even those who are deeply asleep will innately sense that they are nothing but cold, hungry, cornered animals. Instinct is bound to take over then, and it won't be pretty.

    Anyone who lived through the 2016 election on twitter knows that Twitter is 100% politically censored and skewed left for content.

    No surprises there.
    There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

    Mike Keen has good expose on how Twitter actively suppresses tweets based on content. Twitter through the selective content suppression is acting like a political advocacy group rather than a social media platform: https://medium.com/@mikekeen/twitter...s-a1f1d9a87cda

    "... The (anti-Trump) tweet that I replied to was deleted once mine started outpacing it in number of favorites and retweets. ... once that tweet was deleted, mine stopped being interacted with. That’s because my tweet was no longer part of any “thread” in the conversation. ... I have continued to reply directly to the President ... However, I have found that while initially, for about the first minute or so, I get a flood of reactions and notifications. Favorites, retweets, etc, and then they abruptly stop, because my tweets are being manually removed from the main conversation thread. ... The above reply received 27 favorites within seconds of being posted, and then all activity on it stopped. When I click on it, I see that it is not part of any thread. When people view President Trump’s original tweet, mine will not be visible, no matter how far they scroll down. ... This tweet has been removed from the main thread and is not visible when people view President Trump’s original tweet.

    Let’s compare that with what happens when we look at an anti-Trump reply. ... This tweet is still a part of the main thread, and is visible to people viewing President Trump’s original tweet Every single Tweet by President Trump has top comments that are 100% negative. Positive replies are simply not seen. Twitter is absolutely censoring Pro-Trump replies and Trump supporters from voicing their support of the President. ..."

    Stone responds via Politico: "I have been inundated on Twitter with death threats, threats to kill my wife, my family, my children and even my dogs yet Twitter seems unconcerned with these bloggers."

    Silicon Valley PR and the lapdog media, the entertainment industry and politicians basically said this is hot, we use it and so should you. They intentionally by no coincidence gave the appearance they herded the masses accordingly to these dumbed-down platforms. But really the average Joe is not and as we are finding with FB, Twitter and other so called popular platforms, traffic numbers are being baked.

    Web 1.0 forums, anonymous social media, independent media, this forum and many like it are far more informative. That is exactly what they do not want since they lose the ability to control the globalist and state narrative.

    I really think there is something mentally wrong with Olbermann, not joking. I thought it prior to seeing that but now those tweets only confirm it and it has nothing to do with who he was tweeting to.

    You see it more on the left where they elevate and celebrate people that have various forms of psychological problems as if they are some sort of hero or political genius.

    Twitter suspends user for identifying Representative Maxine Waters as a "crazy old lying lunatic in a bad wig".
    I guess Twitter thought the comparison was insulting to lunatics.
