Pants on Fire . . .
The “Twitter Files” provided by Elon Musk and released by both Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi have caused two significant revelations. One is the extreme breadth at which censorship and suppression have been executed by social media and the second, is the continued trivializing and underplay of the story by the legacy media. The second part is the reverse or antithesis of the “große Lüge“or the “Big Lie“. While the story is too large to completely squash or suppress, the media hopes it’ll self-extinguish through its tags and claims of frivolity and flippancy.
In the linked USA Today article, the communiqué says that climate change denial materials are somehow breaking through the barriers of social media and, according to the author it must be curtailed. First, the article quotes Michael Mann, whose much-maligned and discredited hockey stick temperature graph continues to be heralded by the climate mob as if it was valid and factual. This is the same Michael Mann that lost two frivolous defamation lawsuits because he was unwilling to provide his raw proxy temperature data to those that could and would immediately show its corruptive intent.
Next on the scene is John Cook, the creator of the enchanting fairytale on ‘consensus’. Cook did a survey of almost 12,000 research papers on climate change to come up with 97%. In a review of the work, Dr. Wei-Hock “Willie” Soon an astrophysicist and aerospace engineer and a researcher at the Solar and Stellar Physics Division of the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics says, “According to results, only 64 of their 11,944 abstracts (or 0.5%) explicitly said that climate change was mostly human-caused. We examined those 64 and found only 41 (so only 0.3%) actually endorsed the claimed “consensus”. I link Soon’s paper here.
The entire USA Today article was merely a deflective piece averting the truth or reality away from the known censorship and suppression. This linked story from the Wall Street Journal talks about social media shut downing climate change debate even if it involves potential solutions. As implied many times, climate change will remain a marketing issue until the politics of the theory have been either unequivocally and emphatically eliminated or reached.
When previous CEO Jack Dorsey testified before the US Senate Commerce Committee in 2018, he talked of Twitter’s impartiality and the social media company being a non-partisan platform for open and free discussion. Further, during questioning, he answered “no” to every question concerning censorship and suppression. Perhaps Dorsey truly believed such was the case and his managers ran the ‘bullpen of bull’, but as is custom the top dog is always guilty.
Of course, censorship has its own unique language that perhaps escaped Dorsey. These include:
Misinformation – a disagreement on opinion or essentially a lie;
Disinformation – a disagreement on opinion or essentially a lie;
Deamplification - dwarfing the distribution of a story;
Visibility filtering - minimizing the exposure of undesired posts;
Shadow Banning - ban a user or content without notification to the user;
Deplatforming - block the accounts of individuals and organizations;
Delegitimizing - notify users of concerns about the legitimacy of specific posts;
Demotion – overriding search results through algorithms; and,
Demonetization – removing the payment for people whose content regularly generates ad revenue.
All of the censorship being exposed extends to the refuters of anthropogenic climate change and severely eliminates the ability of the opposition to furnish contradictory facts and documentation. In these latest developments, we can acknowledge, without doubt, or any misgiving that the media prejudicially amplifies anthropogenic climate change while minimizing the facts and intelligence that prove its deceit.
