Matt Taibbi has fought hard against the censorship that the USG committed against the American people. The First Amendment specifies that the USG has no power to censor Americans. Congress isn't empowered to create means to do that. Since the Congress is the mechanism authorized to create such mechanisms by which the USG can do things, the USG has no capacity to lawfully censor Americans. Congress can't create it, and the USG has no authority to do so otherwise.
The USG and it's agents, and the employees of Twatter, Fakebook, and Youtool committed treason when they did so. Americans have a right to speak freely, and the Constitution prevents the USG from interfering with that right. Doing what is directly harmful to the American people by using means directly prohibited in the Constitution is the definition of treason. Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi have made public voluminous evidence of that treason.
Whatever else you may think about either of them, that makes them heroes in my book, because they acted to defend the rights of Americans from traitors.
Now Taibbi reveals evidence not only of that treason on a mass scale, but lies about Americans claiming they were Russian bots.
Well, it's fine to censor Russian bots, right? That's why this particular lie is so insidious. All they have to do is claim without any evidence that you're a Russian bot, and censor away. This lie aided and abetted traitors in the commission of treason against every American citizen, against our rights, spitting on the blood our forefathers shed to secure those rights, that Constitutional protection of our rights, and threatens to reduce our children to chattel, without any right to free speech, without any ability to know provable facts that affect their safety and security, treated like mushrooms that are kept in the dark and fed shit.
This cannot be tolerated in America. It's necessary to act to end these crimes, to defend our children, and honor our forebears.
