New York Times Falsely Claims Hunter Biden Laptop ‘Stolen’
“…The New York Times falsely claimed Sunday that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “stolen,” when in fact it was abandoned at the computer repair shop to which he had taken it and which had tried to contact him…”
Journalism
Reporters against reporting
“…On Friday Elon Musk released the first in a number of installments in the Twitter files. As Jazz pointed out on Friday there wasn’t anything particularly shocking the recent revelations, mostly because we already knew Twitter moderation was fundamentally corrupt.
Jazz was more disappointed than I, but that is as much about what I think Musk’s strategy is. I think this is a buildup, not a dump. He is milking this for all it is worth. I expect the revelations to get more and more interesting, but perhaps I am just being optimistic. Maybe Twitter was just engaged in groupthink, not a conspiracy. It’s possible. Groupthink is powerful.
The MSM is having a mental breakdown over the revelations. Their favorite toy, Twitter, has been taken away from them and they will never forgive Musk.
Yet their real anger now is being directed at reporter Matt Taibbi, formerly of Rolling Stone and now a star on Substack. He, along with Glenn Greenwald and Bari Weiss has built a huge following on the platform, filling a void in the current news landscape: former mainstream reporters who have defected from the MSM due to disgust with the rejection of journalistic standards.
Musk is releasing the Twitter files through Taibbi, and the media Elite™ are in full attack mode against Taibbi. Utterly unhinged attacks.
Utterly unhinged and totally coordinated attacks. Almost as if there is an official MSM Narrative™ they are trying to push…”
Heh!

Mattias Desmet takes on a new totalitarianism enforced by dull bureaucrats imposing consensus instead of jackbooted thugs
THE BANALITY OF GOOD
“…One might quibble with Desmet’s arguments about the extent to which “the Science™” got things wrong, or riposte that the unknown severity of the virus excused overreach, but it is difficult to argue that the pandemic fundamentally accelerated extant trends in how our society is monitored, who has overweening authority over it, and what the consequences of noncompliance can be. The book might have enjoyed even greater success if Desmet had considered the complementary woke phenomena ushered in by the #MeToo movement, critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and their consequences for free speech and behavior. Like COVID and its performative safetyism, all of those orthodoxies advanced broad social controls based on emotion, anxiety, and shaky data, much of which have also been exposed as exaggerated or fraudulent. Strikingly, they emerged in the Anglosphere at times that overlapped with the pandemic. The technocratic authorities who enforced them were similarly bland, bureaucratized, and in most cases protected from any significant liability. We might forgive Desmet for leaving them out, however, for the collective hysteria around race, gender, and sex did not travel well outside of the English-speaking world.
The question we should all be rushing to answer, of course, is how to fight back. Desmet parrots the standard middle-class professional’s argument that dissidents should speak out, but only in polite, sincere ways that avoid antagonizing the dominant ideology. His hope is that this will penetrate the mass formation sufficiently to expose its dynamics to broad majorities who go along with it without necessarily believing in it. He would know better if that could work in Belgium, but Americans have already amassed decades of evidence showing that this spells failure, if not disaster. However strongly worded their letters may have been, polite dissenters have proved remarkably easy to ignore for at least the last 50 years. Meanwhile, increasingly powerful woke mandarins have implemented their agenda of social control, long secure in the knowledge that their opponents were little more than gracious losers. Like him or not, it took the abrasive Donald Trump and his army of “deplorables” to challenge this dismal outcome with considerable success, through aggressive media activism, the majesty of the law, and perhaps most significantly, ridicule that no tyranny can withstand…”
We need Trump back for 4 more years to destroy the new totalitarianism in what the wacky left might term a “late-stage-abortion.”
This is what the garbage media can’t stand…
Taibbi calls out the Democrat activists masquerading as “journalists.”
Looking forward to going through all the tweets complaining about “PR for the richest man on earth,” and seeing how many of them have run stories for anonymous sources at the FBI, CIA, the Pentagon, White House, etc. https://t.co/l0uzwofqPT

The sleazy, pro-censorship pack of liberal employees of media corporations united last night to attack @mtaibbi — as they do to any journalist who breaks a real story about real power centers — and, because they were so desperate to discredit it, showed what they are.

Democrats colluded with social media to censor political opponents…
The SOS of AZ and Gov candidate, Katie Hobbs, used the power of the AZ SOS to collude w/ Twitter to unconstitutionally violate 1st Amendment rights of Americans for her own political gain.
This is communism and Hobbs can not be governor.

The federal bureaucracy is a Democrat bureaucracy intent on protecting Democrats…
FBI CENSORS EXPOSED
-
- FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan said that the bureau held weekly meetings with social-media platforms to censor “disinformation” or remove accounts.
- Chan said the meetings dated back to the 2020 presidential campaign.
- He said that the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) officials met weekly with social-media companies to remove specific accounts ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
- Chan’s statements were part of a deposition in a lawsuit filed against the Biden administration for allegedly censoring Americans’ speech in the name of “misinformation” led by Schmitt and Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana.

Newly liberated Twitter blows lid off Democrat tainting of 2020 election
“…More to come from the Biden team,” was one message on Oct. 24. Another one was: “An additional report from the DNC.”
The response back from Twitter: “Handled these.”
The Democrat fluffers instantly shut down the Post’s Twitter account. They cancelled the White House press secretary’s. They’d already banned President Trump. Anyone who tried to get around the bans was likewise cut off.
This was an insurrection — the real insurrection.
The First Amendment? Democrats don’t need no stinkin’ First Amendment!
All of Twitter’s multi-millionaire conspirators came from the same fabulously pampered backgrounds — including membership in multiple protected classes and graduate degrees from elite American-hating universities, as well as few, if any, connections to any traditional national institutions such as the military, religion, the working classes or public schools.
The leader of the Twitter coup d’etat against MAGA appears to have been one Vijaya Gadde. Born in India, Vijaya went straight to the Ivy League — Cornell, and then to the even more expensive NYU School of Law.
NYU Law, by the way, is also the alma mater of Colinford Mattis, the equally woke New York lawyer who firebombed an NYPD cruiser during the BLM murder-arson-looting riots of 2020.
Gadde wept when she found out that Musk was going to blow the lid off her sinister conspiracy, but don’t cry for her. She made $7 million in 2020 and then $17.3 million last year for her service above and beyond the call of duty to the New World Order.
Gadde was fired from Twitter by Musk, along with the new CEO, Parag Agrawal, who arrived in this nation in 2006 from India. He was immediately admitted to Stanford University, which is where the parents of Sam Bankman-Fried, the mega-fraudster and donor of $5 million to the Biden campaign, are employed as tenured professors…”

Gail Herriot on the changes at University of San Diego…
ANOTHER VOTE OF “NO CONFIDENCE” IN THE (NEWLY WOKE) UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO:
“…Some of you read James Allan’s essay on the mass retirement of USD’s more conservative law faculty members. At the time of the essay, the count was four–Larry Alexander, Kevin Cole, Steven Smith, and me. Well, you can add one more–Tom Smith. This is a three-year process for all of us. We won’t be out the door till 2025. But if you know somebody who was considering attending USD School of Law because of its reputation for having an ideologically diverse faculty (we do get a fair number of those), you may want to give them the bad news. There are still a few conservative faculty members left, but their numbers are dwindling fast…”
