TWITTER FILES, PT. 2: Documents Reveal Secret Blacklists and Censorship of Conservative Users – Something former Owner Jack Dorsey Said Was Not Happening

The second installment of Elon Musk’s so-called “Twitter Files” was released on Thursday night.

Reporter Bari Weiss is live-tweeting the release of the documents online.

Tucker Carlson opened his show with this news on Thursday night.

FOX News reported:

The second installment of Elon Musk’s so-called “Twitter Files” shed light on the company’s practices of secretly “blacklisting” certain tweets and users.

“A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users,” journalist Bari Weiss began her thread on Thursday.

“Twitter once had a mission ‘to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.’ Along the way, barriers nevertheless were erected,” Weiss wrote.

The first installment, shared Friday by Substack writer Matt Taibbi, offered insight as to what led to Twitter’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 presidential election.

Is this part of their plea deal?

Merkel’s ‘confession’ may be grounds for tribunal – Moscow

The former chancellor gave evidence that the West had orchestrated hostilities in Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry says

A confession by former German chancellor Angela Merkel about the Minsk peace agreements could be used as evidence in a tribunal involving Western politicians responsible for provoking the Ukraine conflict between Moscow and Kiev, the Russian Foreign Ministry warned on Thursday.

The deal, brokered by Germany and France, was supposed to be a roadmap for peace in the war-torn country. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that his country's current military offensive was prompted by the failure to implement the terms of the accords.

The former German leader admitted in an interview with Die Zeit on Wednesday that the actual purpose of the Minsk agreements was to give Ukraine time to prepare for a military confrontation with Russia.

“They talk a lot about legal assessments of what is happening around Ukraine, certain tribunals and so on in all sorts of ways,” Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a media briefing on Thursday. “But this is a specific reason for a tribunal.”

She claimed that Merkel’s comments were nothing short of the testimony of a person who had openly admitted that everything done between 2014 and 2015 was meant to “distract the international community from real issues, play for time, pump up the Kiev regime with weapons, and escalate the issue into a large-scale conflict,” Zakharova added.

She said Merkel’s statements “horrifyingly” reveal that the West uses “forgery as a method of action,” and resorts to “machinations, manipulation and all kinds of distortions of truth, law and rights imaginable.”

The spokeswoman claimed that the West had known well in 2015, when it spent hours negotiating the second part of the Minsk accords, that it would never even attempt to fulfill any part of the agreements and would instead pump weapons into Kiev.

“They did not feel sorry for anyone: women, children, the civilian population of Donbass or the whole of Ukraine. They needed a conflict and they were ready for it back then, in 2015,” Zakharova said.

Earlier this month, a number of Western officials called for the creation of a special UN-backed court to investigate alleged war crimes committed by Russia during its ongoing military campaign in Ukraine.

The Kremlin has said the West has no legal or moral right to set up any courts to investigate or prosecute Russia over the conflict, which Moscow claims was ultimately provoked by the US and its allies.

Kevin McCarthy’s Top Advisor Makes Millions as a Big Tech Lobbyist

Establishment leader Kevin McCarthy's top advisor is a Big Tech lobbyist who shills for monopolies on Capitol Hill.

Kevin McCarthy’s top advisor makes millions of dollars as a Big Tech lobbyist, protecting the interests of corporate monopolies like Apple and Amazon while McCarthy works from inside the legislature to defeat anti-trust legislation.

Last year, McCarthy opposed historic anti-trust legislation supported by members of both parties, working with his top outside advisor, Big Tech lobbyist and political operative Jeff Miller, to make sure the Ending Platform Monopolies Act never became law.

McCarthy’s Big Tech influence was reported on last year by Tucker Carlson, after “congressional sources” told his Tucker Carlson Tonight program that McCarthy’s top advisor had been calling GOP congressmen, asking them not to support the anti-trust legislation that threatened to break up Big Tech.

Now, the news segment has resurfaced and is making rounds on social media, as McCarthy once again tries to become Speaker of the House, and meets massive conservative resistance, after the “red wave” election he spent years promising presented itself as a “pink trickle.”

That, after McCarthy used corrupt, Big Tech money to derail America First campaigns, protect RINOs, and surrender seats to Democrats.

Kevin McCarthy has “been telling you he’s very worried about the danger of Big Tech monopolies for years and now there’s bipartisan support to do something about it,” Tucker Carlson reported in the 2021 segment.

“Weirdly though, Kevin McCarthy is opposed to this anti-trust legislation. Why is that? How that Be?”

“We’re not sure,” Carlson said. “Here’s one potential explanation.”

“Kevin McCarthy’s top outside advisor is a man called Jeff Miller. Who’s Jeff Miller? Well he’s a registered lobbyist for Amazon and Apple,” Carlson went on, adding that Miller is “making a lot of money doing that.”

“Records show that Amazon Web Services paid Miller’s firm more than $400,000 in recent years,” said Carlson.
