It was not "Russian disinformation." Nor was
it "unsafe." The executives running Twitter in the twenty days before
the 2020 presidential election clearly knew that, and tried to find other
justifications for what amounted to raw censorship.
Twitter's bias in censoring or banning conservative
accounts for "hate speech" while happily servicing accounts for the
Iranian ayatollah and the Taliban is a running joke. In a series of secretly
recorded interviews with Twitter employees, Project Veritas had already
confirmed that "shadow-banning," manipulating the number of followers
shown by certain accounts, and selectively "de-boosting" certain
tweets in its algorithms was a well-established, standard manipulation of the
platform's stated purpose: "We serve the public conversation. That's why
it matters to us that people have a free and safe space to talk."
Kudos to Khanna for his lonely but principled stand for
free speech. Taibbi also noted in his thread that Khanna was the only
Democratic official to do so.
China's enticements to the Biden family are but one
example of this campaign. We learned through this research how insidious and
effective the Chinese government has been at co-opting not just the families of
senior elected officials, but captains of industry, financial behemoths, and
the wealthiest American philanthropists and educational institutions.
The Biden story also showed the ingenuity of corrupt
politicians who essentially "outsource" their corruption to family
members rather than risk a possible paper trail leading back to themselves. The
Bidens, even more than Bill and Hillary Clinton before them, were a family
influence business.
We have all learned about other stories of political
interference and foot-dragging within the FBI. The public is right to wonder
whether federal prosecutors are as serious about pursuing this case as
Twitter's Democratic partisans were in squelching it.
Further, President Biden's Attorney General, Merrick
Garland, continues to task the bureau with investigating the Jan. 6 riots as a
deep conspiracy, while simultaneously ignoring what certainly appear to have
been well-organized efforts by Antifa to foment violence during the George
Floyd riots, and violence done by pro-abortion organizations after someone on
Twitter publicized the home addresses of Supreme Court justices.
For more than two critical weeks, under secret pressure
from the Biden campaign and Democrats who were desperate to bury a devastating
story that implicated their presidential candidate in his son's corruption by
Chinese intelligence-connected businessmen. The Post's story was factually
accurate, legitimately reported, and was (belatedly) authenticated by other
news outlets. In short, there was no reason to do what Twitter, Roth, and Gadde
did, other than pleasing a political party with whom they agreed.
