Big Tech Purge – In the ongoing process of silencing all unapproved speech and thought around the world, Twitter and cohorts continue to lead the way, and the latest example is the permanent banning of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a duly elected representative of the people.
Rep. Greene was suspended because of Covid, of course, just like the guy who invented the current vaccine technology was banned for saying that his own invention could still have some bugs to be worked out, to pun it succinctly.
A New York Times reporter whose bio says he covers “disinformation” immediately knew about and reported the ban – no collusion there we’re sure – and posted screenshots of Twitter saying MTG was disinformation, for maximum ease of use by other dictators.

MTG has since responded on Gettr. “When Maxine Waters can go to the streets and threaten violence on Twitter, Kamala and Ilhan can bail out rioters on Twitter, and Chief spokesman for terrorist IRGC can tweet mourning Soleimani but I get suspended for tweeting VAERS statistics, Twitter is an enemy to America and can’t handle the truth,” she wrote.
“That’s fine, I’ll show America we don’t need them and it’s time to defeat our enemies,” said Greene.
I like that. Most folk do not need Twitter, truth be told. But I’m glad for the people still trying to tell truth there. Like missionaries of old, for however long it lasts.
