Who is at the door? It's the Thought Police, dear

Rep. Marjorie Greene, R-Ga., was kicked off Twitter for life for repeatedly "spreading misinformation" about covid, the social media firm asserted.

Greene released this statement:
Maxine Waters can go to the streets and threaten violence on Twitter, Kamala and Ilhan can bail out Black Lives Matter terrorists on Twitter, CNN and the rest of the Democrat Propaganda Media can spread Russia collusion lies, and just yesterday the 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.

That’s fine, I’ll show America we don’t need them and it’s time to defeat our enemies. They can’t successfully complete a Communist revolution when people tell the truth.

Social media platforms can’t stop the truth from being spread far and wide. Big Tech can’t stop the truth. Communist Democrats can’t stop the truth.

I stand with the truth and the people. We will overcome!"
I don't have all the facts behind this matter. But judging from the content, she may have been quoting tech entrepreneur Steve Kirsh's untested claims about adverse covid vaccine statistics. Whatever the merits of those claims, I find it interesting that he uncovered the point that the CDC did not notice the effect of elevated heartbeat in a small percentage of injected persons. Apparently, the Defense Department spotted that effect as it vaccinated uniformed men and women and civilians. That seems like quite an oversight by the civil health professionals.

Another strong possibility is that Greene's visceral language -- as in "Communist Democrats" -- made her a target for the "liberal" vigilantes of social media. Can't you hear, "Kick her off! Get rid of that bitch! Now!"

But the problem with Twitter's position is that its brass hats think they must regulate thought. Americans as a whole, they think, are too dumb to weigh words uttered by "demagogues." They must be led by their herders, who have so much more insight than the silly rabble "out there." That is the typical attitude of the monied elite toward true democracy.
