The newest tranche of internal Twitter communications expose an organizational laser focused on finding a way to permanently ban a sitting president of the United States they perceived as an enemy of the enlightened. It lays bare the internal plotting of an organization bereft of any concern for the guarantees of free speech and assembly that are set forth in our Constitution. The action of the leadership of the Twitter organization INCLUDING Jack Dorsey, its CEO at the time, are breath taking in its malicious scope derived and fueled by abject hatred for President Donald J. Trump and not by one word in violation of Twitter’s terms of service.
Jordan Boyd provides a good summary of how the decision to ban Donald Trump for life from Twitter was made in the absence a single word that incited violence on January 6, 2020. In fact, the Twitter Files reveal that Twitter employees discussed that very fact yet created an excuse that they could use as cover for their actions. Boyd also directs our attention to an internal letter signed by 300 Twitter employees and sent to Jack Dorsey demanding that Trump be removed fromTwitter for life. That letter was immediately leaked to and published by another arch enemy of Donald Trump — The Washington Post.
But to be clear as Bari Weiss shows in her Twitter thread posted on 12 December 2022, there was an internal debate as to whether there was legitimate reason to ban Donald Trump for life. Those who gently objected were ignored. Not only were they ignored but those in support of banning the President took their “logic” one step further.
When the President refereed to “American Patriots” the senior staff at Twitter quickly relabeled those honest men and women who were exercising their First Amendment right to protest- whether they had entered the Capitol building or not — “rioters”. Twitter staff then decided that “rioters” was really code for “terrorist group”.
Once Twitter staff found their hook in the word “rioters” the rhetoric door was thrown wide open. Twitter senior staff now immediately reached this conclusion for how they could impose a life time ban on a sitting president: it was simple. Once they equated “American Patriots” to “rioters” and “rioters” to a “terrorist group” they easily concluded that the President of the United States:
“as the leader of a terrorist group responsible for violence/deaths comparable to Christchurch shooter or Hitler and on that basis and on the totality of his Tweets, he should be de-platformed.”
They made that decision not based on one single word he said but on an inference based a manufactured logic stream.
By way of contrast Weiss also showed us how Twitter dealt with other heads of state he were clearly calling for violence against their own political opponents using Twitter. While in some cases the offensive Tweets were removed in NO CASE were the heads of state who posted those Tweets punished by either a short term suspension of their account or a life time ban. Here is one example in which the Ayatollah Khanemei calls Israel “a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region which needs to be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen.” As Weiss notes this Tweet was allowed to remain on Twitter and so was Khanemei.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the decision to ban President Donal Trump from Twitter for life was a wholly contrived opinion with no basis in fact with its only goal being harm to the President of the United States and ANYONE who dare support him. And the people who did it knew exactly what they were doing and they didn’t care.
It is not possible to overstate the damage to the Republic that this has caused.
But it doesn’t end here. Twitter staff, having successfully damaged Donald Trump in the eyes of a fraction of a nation eager to see his ruin became emboldened.
Trump was finished (so they believed) and now they could turn their attention to those who disagreed with the draconian efforts of the federal government to exert unconstitutional authority to control the Nation’s response to the COVID-19 “pandemic”. As I and others have written our public health agencies, leaders and political leaders at all levels saw Twitter and other social media platforms as potent weapons to prevent good men and women of science and the individual citizen from being heard and from challenging the government approved false narrative.
Elon Musk has promised to reveal Twitter’s role in the subjugation of America by a handful of public and private sector employees lacking in honor, constitutional knowledge, love of this Nation and its People but strong on arrogance. They are cowardly bullies hiding behind a misinterpretation of the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech and assembly and as we shall see, I am certain, freedom OF religious expression and practice. In brief, their view is that THEY are the enlightened entitled to make the rules and rule and we are their subjects.
2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the plots of evildoers. 3They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows. 4They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear. 5They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, “Who will see it?” 6They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!” Surely the human mind and heart are cunning. 7But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down. 8He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn. 9All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done. 10The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him!

I love the fact that after you so eloquently detail their evil, you remind us of God's words and His power, which is so much greater than our enemies! God wins in the end. That's all I care about!
