In recent weeks, my colleagues and I have been reporting critically on Elon Musk, exposing how under his ownership Twitter has increasingly silenced left-wing voices.

He must not have liked that very much. On Thursday, just hours after publishing my latest story for The Intercept, I was suspended from Twitter.

I’m still locked out of my account unless I agree to delete a specific tweet that Musk doesn’t like. The capricious whims of a single egomaniacal billionaire have become a genuine threat to press freedom.

Elon Musk can’t bully The Intercept into silence. Our team will continue to report on how he uses Twitter to suppress dissenting views — but we can’t do it without your help.

With at least eight journalists suspended in Musk’s “Thursday Night Massacre,” it’s clear that Twitter users are now subject to arbitrary censorship based on his whims.

Twitter didn’t explain what rules I allegedly broke before suspending my account. Now they’ve “reinstated” me, which is somehow even worse: My account looks active to friends and followers, but I still can’t access it unless I concede to Musk. (That’s a nope.)

It’s more clear than ever that journalists can’t count on corporate social media to be a home for our work. That’s why we need truly independent media like The Intercept — where our reporters can take on the powerful without fear or favor, no matter what they throw at us.

WE MUST BE CAREFUL HERE. THE INTERCEPT JOURNALISTS HAVE THE FREEDOM TO PUBLISH WHAT THEY WANT BUT ELON MUSK HAS THE FREEDOM TO STOP THEM USING “HIS” PLATFORM TO PUBLISH THINGS THAT HE DOES NOT LIKE. THIS HAS BEEN THE MURDOCH MANTRA ALL ALONG.

THAT’S THE DEAL, FOLKS. AND MUSK WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO REINSTATE THE ACCOUNTS OF THE DELETED JOURNALISTS NONETHELESS. SO THERE. 

MUSK IS CLEVERER THAN THE AVERAGE INTERCEPT HACK… THIS FROM GLENN GREENWALD…

In unison, these media outlets decreed that not only would greater free speech on Twitter usher in the usual parade of horribles they trot out when demanding censorship — disinformation, hate speech, attacks on the “marginalized,” etc. etc. — but this time they severely escalated their rhetorical hysteria by claiming that Musk would literally cause mass murder by permitting a broader range of political opinion to be aired. The Washington Post's Taylor Lorenz even warned of supernatural demons that would be unleashed by these new free speech policies, as she talked to a handful of obviously neurotic pro-censorship “experts” and then wrote about these thinly disguised therapy sessions with those neurotics under this headline: “‘Opening the gates of hell’: Musk says he will revive banned accounts.”

SO ACCORDING TO THE “FREE PRESS”, YOU CAN’T SUPPRESS THE ACCOUNT OF THEIR PEOPLE, BUT YOU CAN’T OPEN THE ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE THAT “OFFEND” THEM… IT’S THE KETTLE BLAH BLAH BLAH….

INTERESTINGLY, BACK IN 2012 WE HAD:

Rupert Murdoch tweeted an apology Sunday after expressing his dissatisfaction with the coverage of the Gaza conflict by asking his followers on Twitter, “Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti-Israel in every crisis?” 

The News Corp. chairman and CEO has unleashed a string of tweets supporting Israel in the wake of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that has been escalating in the Gaza strip. Murdoch also tweeted: “Middle East ready to boil over any day. Israel position precarious. Meanwhile watch CNN and AP bias to point of embarrassment.”

SO THERE:

IN A LINE OF COMMENT TO AN ARTICLE, SOMEONE POSTED THIS:

Most Russians are unaware that Congressman Adam Schiffs grandfather funded the Russian Revolution from his office in New York. He invited Trotsky to New York and gave him money. This is just an extension of their legacy These are Renegade Jews who hate Russians and the Orthodox Church. They have been selling the same dogma ever since. They all live together, work together, and enrich themselves at everyone’s expense. The biggest lie is telling people they worry about climate change.

PLEASE NOTE: JACOB SCHIFF WAS NOT ADAM SCHIFF'S GRANDFATHER. THE REST IS BORDERLINE INFORMATION INTERPRETATION. YES JACOB SCHIFF HELPED FINANCE “THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION” IN WHICH THE JEWRY HAD A BIG PART. 

Born to a wealthy Jewish family in Yanovka (now Bereslavka, Ukraine), Trotsky embraced Marxism after moving to Mykolaiv in 1896. In 1898, he was arrested for revolutionary activities and subsequently exiled to Siberia. He escaped from Siberia in 1902 and moved to London, where he befriended Vladimir Lenin (HALF JEWISH).

Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili was a Bolshevik revolutionary, the second leader of the Soviet Union, and leader of world Communism. He was also known as Koba (a Georgian folk hero) to his closest confidantes. The name “Stalin” (derived from combining Russian stal, “steel” with “Lenin”) originally was a conspirative nickname; however, it stuck to him and he continued to call himself Stalin after the Russian Revolution. Stalin is also reported to have used at least a dozen other names for the purpose of secret communications, but for obvious reasons most of them remain unknown.

Born in Gori, Georgia on December 18, 1878, to illiterate peasant parents (who had been serfs at birth), his harsh spirit has been blamed on undeserved and severe beatings by his father, inspiring vengeful feelings towards anyone in a position to wield power over him (perhaps also a reason he became a revolutionary). His mother set him on a path to become a priest, and he studied Russian Orthodox Christianity until he was nearly twenty.

His involvement with the socialist movement began at seminary school, from which he was expelled in 1899. From there on he worked for a decade with the political underground in the Caucasus. He soon followed Vladimir Lenin’s ideology about centralism and a strong party of “professional revolutionaries.” His practical experience made him useful in Lenin’s Bolshevik Party leading up to the 1917 October Revolution (in which he played no direct part).

….

In 1939, Stalin made the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany which divided Eastern Europe between the two powers. In 1941, Hitler broke the agreement and invaded the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa). Under Stalin’s leadership, the Soviet Red Army put up fierce resistance, but were ineffective against the advancing Nazi forces.

Stalin was up to this point very wary of the Germans, and would not permit his armies to even assume defensive positions for fear of sending the wrong signals to Hitler. Up to the final moment, and the invasion by the Germans, he held out hope that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact would buy him time to modernize and strengthen his military (recently weakened by purges).

NOTE: THIS HAS PRECURSORY WIFFS IN REGARD TO THE MINSK AGREEMENTS WHICH THE UKRAINE GOVERNMENT AND ITS EUROPEAN ALLIED (INCLUDING MERKEL) BEING USED AS A CON, TO STRENGTHEN THE ARMIES AND RETAKE THE AUTONOMOUS REGIONS PROTECTED BY THE MINSK AGREEMENT. MY GUESS IS THAT PUTIN KNEW, AND THOUGH HE SAID HE REGRETS NOT "TO HAVE MOVED IN SOONER", LEGALLY, UNDER THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER, WHICH PUTIN IS A STICKLER AT, HE HAD TO WAIT.

….

Through his entire career, Stalin had to deal with the “Jewish question,” and as the auto cratic ruler of the Soviet Union his policy had a profound influence on the fate of the Jewish people. At the early stages of the factional strife in the Russian Social Democratic Party, during which Stalin unreservedly joined Lenin and the Bolsheviks, he became involved in the Jewish problem through their bitter dispute with the Bund.

In 1913, with Lenin’s approval, he published an essay titled “Social Democracy and the National Question” (later renamed “Marxism and the National Question”), in which the Jews figured prominently as the subject of a theoretical analysis of ethnicity and nationhood. In this essay Stalin denied the existence of one national Jewish entity throughout the world, stressing the differences between the Jewish communities in East and West. He conceded that certain ethnic characteristics exist in each Jewish community separately, but denied the Jews any national status and adhered to Lenin’s concept of the unavoidable progressive assimilation and disappearance of the Jews under advanced capitalism (e.g., in Western Europe and in America) and certainly under Socialism.

In contrast to this view, Stalin, as commissar of nationalities in the first Soviet government (1917–23), was responsible for the policy of fostering Yiddish cultural and educational activity, Jewish administrative institutions, and agricultural settlement, and it was he who gave the formal permit to the young Hebrew theater Habimah in Moscow. In his controversy and blood feud with Trotsky, Zinovyev, Kamenev, Radek, and other members of Lenin’s old guard, hardly any anti-Jewish allusions were discernible. He did not refrain, however, from accusing his prominent Jewish victims of being agents of the Nazis and the Gestapo. Although there were Jews among the executors of the bloody purges, the upheaval of the party and government structure caused by these purges resulted in a reduction of Jewish personnel in many branches of the bureaucracy.

At the same time, a marked change occurred in Stalin’s policy toward Jewish cultural activity and to the evolution of Jewish settlement and territorial autonomy, which had culminated in the Birobidzhan project. Stalin’s trend, concurrent with the great purges, was to liquidate the Yiddish school system, Yiddish publications, research institutes, and theaters so that at the end of the 1930s only token vestiges of them remained (e.g., the State Jewish Theater in Moscow).

During his rapprochement with Nazi Germany (1939–41), he suppressed in the Soviet press and radio all mention of Nazi anti-Semitism and anti-Jewish atrocities, but himself refrained from using anti-Jewish allusions while attacking the Western “imperialist” powers. He extradited to the Nazi regime German communists who had fled to the Soviet Union, many of them Jews.

The German attack on the Soviet Union (June 22, 1941) and his adherence to the anti-Nazi alliance induced Stalin to establish the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, which, for the enlistment of Western Jewish support for the Soviet war effort, was allowed to exploit the sentiments of world Jewish solidarity and “brotherhood” and even use Jewish historical and nationalist rhetoric, in full contradiction to his original ideological concept of Jewish identity. Immediately after the war, when he was presented with a plan to allow returning Jewish evacuees to settle in the Crimea, Stalin opposed it on the grounds that in the event of war a “Jewish Crimea” would constitute a security risk for the Soviet Union.

An exceptional episode in Stalin’s attitude to Jewish nationhood was his resolute and energetic support in 1947–48 for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, a policy clearly directed against Britain’s position in the Middle East and largely reversed during the explicitly anti-Semitic (and “anti-Zionist”) stance of his last years (1948–53), which coincided with the Cold War. An ominous prelude to these “black years” was the camouflaged assassination of the de facto head of Soviet Jewry Solomon Mikhoels, the chairman of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, on January 13, 1948, a crime to which Stalin was at least a passive accomplice.

SO WHAT ABOUT THE JEWISH QUESTION?

PUTIN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS RUSSIAN/SOVIET HISTORY AND INTERPRETATION BY THE JEWISH AND WESTERN MEDIA. IN PUTIN’S TAKEOVER OF THE DONBASS REGION, HE WOULD BE AWARE OF ALL THE ETHNIC DYNAMICS WITHIN THIS REGION. THE WESTERN PRESS IS VERY SIMPLISTIC: “PUTIN IS EVIL” “UKRAINE IS ONE PIECE TO STAND IN WITH”… AND FULL STOP.

WE KNOW WHY: SINCE THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION AND THE RISE OF COMMUNISM, THE CAPITALISTS HAVE HARBOURED THE DESIRE TO DESTROY RUSSIA (AND CHINA LATER ON, DUE TO THE RISE OF MAO). COMMUNISM IF "MADE TO WORK" (IT’S WORKING TO A POINT IN CHINA) IS EXPOSING THE HYPOCRISY OF CAPITALISM IN WHICH THE LENDING OF MONEY (A JEWISH INVENTION?) IS THE CORE OF MAKING MORE MONEY.

WE CALL THIS INVESTMENT, STOCK MARKET AND OTHER DEBT CREATING DEVICES, INCLUDING GOVERNMENT DEBTS) THAT ARE HANDSOMELY PROFITABLE.

FOR EXAMPLE WITHOUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION GOING INTO FURTHER GREATER DEBT BY THE MINUTE, THE WEAPONS GOING TO UKRAINE WOULD HAVE LONG STOPPED GETTING THERE. OF COURSE MOST CONGRESSMEN (PEOPLE AND WOMEN) ARE ON THE TAKE, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY HAVING WEAPON INDUSTRIES IN THEIR STATE EMPLOY CITIZENS AND PAY DUTIES TO THE STATE, FROM THE GROWING PUBLIC DEBT.

BEHIND THE GOVERNMENT DEBT IS A HUGE ORGANISM, “POSSIBLY” OF VARIOUS JEWISH ORIGINS THAT UNDERWRITES THE “LOANS” AND EVEN IF THE “DEBTS” ARE NEVER REPAID, THE ORGANISM CASHES IN ON THE INTEREST AT RATES OF USURY THAT MAKE “CASH CONVERTERS” LOANS LOOK PLACID. 

AS WE KNOW, IN THE MIDDLE AGES, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FORBADE THE LENDING OF MONEY. THIS LED TO THE ERADICATION OF THE CATHARS. MEANWHILE, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BECAME THE RECIPIENT OF MASSIVE “DONATIONS” AND SUNDAY COLLECTIONS TO THE CAUSE OF SAVING SOULS — BUILDING A REAL ESTATE OWNERSHIP, POSSIBLY COMPETING WITH THAT OF THE FULL WARFARE ASSETS OF THE PENTAGON. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH EVENTUALLY CAME TO TERMS WITH “INVESTING” THE GREAT AMOUNT OF CASH, THROUGH ITS VATICAN BANK AND OTHER COMPANIES…

AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ALL THE PLAYERS HAS OFTEN BEEN “INCESTUOUS” AND MANY DEALS HAVE ALSO BEEN CONCLUDED IN A FREEMASON ENVIRONMENT….

ONE THING THAT HAS “SOURED THE KNOWLEDGE” IS WHY DID JEWISH ZELENSKY TURNED ON HIS JEWISH BENEFACTOR? 

Three powerful and prominent Jews in Ukraine appear to have had their citizenship stripped as their long-simmering conflict with President Volodymyr Zelensky has reached a boiling point amid the war with Russia. Last week, Zelensky reportedly either revoked or took steps to revoke the Ukrainian citizenship of two of the country’s best known oligarchs, Igor Kolomoisky and Hennadiy Korban, as well as that of Vadim Rabinovich, a former tycoon turned opposition lawmaker.
