How the FBI used Twitter for 2020election interference
...
In our Truman Show, various police and intelligence entities, including the FBI and the CIA, are in cahoots with Twitter, Facebook and other social media companies. We wouldn’t have known much about this except for the courageous action of Elon Musk, who everyone thought overpaid to acquire Twitter — $44 billion of the crispest — but who has been demonstrating almost daily that the deal was cheap at the price.
The journalists he has given access to Twitter’s files — including Bari Weiss, Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger — have ripped the putrid bandage off a suppurating orifice of deception, lies and politicized interference.
Glenn Greenwald provided a meticulously researched summary of that assault on his internet video show “System Update.” The episode in question exposes the FBI’s “propaganda partnership with Twitter.” Senior Twitter officials, Greenwald shows, met regularly with what amounted to FBI handlers. In the end, they “degraded Twitter into little more than a full-on Democratic Party activist machine, all while lying to the public about its function. This was a massive public fraud and 2020 election interference.”
Swirl that around in your mouth before swallowing: “a massive public fraud and 2020 election interference.” Forget about people screaming that you are a “conspiracy theorist” disseminating “disinformation.” In truth, you are acting as a documentary reporter.

The public centerpiece of this sorry development was the all-hands-on-deck effort — a successful effort — to bury the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop just weeks before the 2020 election. The FBI was there, leaning on Twitter (which didn’t require much pressure) to shove the potentially catastrophic revelation into the oubliette of pseudo-national-security censorship.
...
But it wasn’t disinformation. And it had nothing to do with Russia. On the contrary, its sordid revelations were not just about Hunter Biden and his whores and drug use, but — far more damaging — Joe Biden’s possible role as “the big guy” receiving his 10 percent cut from Hunter’s business deals in China, Ukraine and elsewhere. Those deals, by the way, were secured only because Hunter was able to trade successfully on his father’s name as vice-president. Absent that suppression, there is a very good chance that Donald Trump would have been acclaimed president in 2020.
...
It is becoming clear that those who claimed to be protecting us from "disinformation" were actually purveying it on a massive and abusive scale. From the FBI to Joe Biden they all lied about Hunter's laptop and it looks like they did to get Biden's corrupt butt elected. Twitter and other social media were in cahoots to hide relevant truthful information from voters and they used "disinformation" as an excuse for purveying a false narrative. It is right up there with the Russian collusion hoax pushed by Hillary Clinton and other Democrats after Trump's election. And after they got Biden elected they falsely accused protesters of an "insurrection." Calling that protest an insurrection is another example of disinformation.

January 6 Was the Worst Incident of Police Brutality Since Civil Rights Era
Maybe next time the police can just shoot them all in the head.
I think the author is talking about it on a broad scale against numerous protesters. Obviously individual attacks like those against Tyre Nichols are horrific. The killings of protesters at the January 6 event included two women who were not a material threat to the officers.
