“Opinion in good men is but knowledge in the making.”-- Milton

“Everyone is entitled to create his own opinion but, everyone is not entitled to create his own facts.” —Daniel P. Moynihan.

“When there are competing claims, the only legitimate way to decide which is right is to have everyone check the arguments of everyone else.”—Jonathan Rauch

“There is the greatest difference between presuming an opinion to be true because it can not be refuted, and assuming its truth for the purpose of avoiding being refuted. The liberty to disprove our opinion is the very condition which justifies us in assuming its truth for the purposes of action, on no other terms can one rational assume to being right.”---John Stuart Mill

"Without Freedom of Thought there can be no such thing as Wisdom; and no such thing as Public Liberty, without Freedom of Speech." —Benjamin Franklin

The latest maneuver in the Left's war on free speech is their coordinated attack against Twitter whose new owner seems determined to eliminate that platform's suppression of free speech. Twitter or that other social media giant, facebook, which is maintaining its allegiance to Big Gov and Demo speech suppressors, are major influencers of public opinion and, by extension, elections. Thus, they have a major impact on the future of American Liberty if they are successful in suppressing those of us who support and defend it.

Twitter was the biggest of the Big Techspeech suppressors. That platform, in collusion with the liberal/democrat Party and its Leftmedia propagandists, led the charge just ahead of the 2020 election to conceal the blockbuster biden/chiCom pay-to-play schemes that were detailed on hunter's laptop.

Musk announced: "The world should know the truth of what has been happening at Twitter." Naturally, the enemies of free speech immediately decompensated in a fit of fear and rage. That manifested in an effort to defund Twitter — an effort led by the same "invisible" influencers who are controlling the news you read: advertisers.

The uber-liberal washington post is cheering and now lobbying Big Tech monopolies apple and google to drop Twitter's app from their respective stores, promoting the cancel culture aggression of Harvard Law's leftist activist alejandra caraballo.

What is really "dangerous" is the Leftmedia/Big Tech assault on free speech, including their efforts to defund free speech platforms. David Black, Ph.D., creator of a national database exposing woke corporate agendas, noted that BIG corporations have aligned themselves with BIG government, and believe, correctly, that advertising with organizations that express opposition to BIG government political agendas will result in unfavorable treatment. For this reason, they are steering clear of media platforms, including Twitter, that dare allow objective conservative news and conservative opinion.

David lays out the reason why many companies appease the Left: "Radical leftists are well-organized and well-funded (Soros, Gates, Bloomberg, etc.), and they coordinate protests and boycotts well. Conservatives, who support free speech, don't gang up on those whose speech does not fit their political narrative...The Left's objective is all about money, power, and elitism. These socialist radicals have six primary targets: 1) Protected 1st Amendment freedoms; 2) The protection of Liberty by the 2nd Amendment; 3) Sanctity of life; 4) Safe civil society protected by enforcement of laws and the integrity of borders; 5) Critical thinking and fact-based education; 6) American ingenuity, especially environmental problem solving as opposed to the Left's 'climate change' agenda."

So, how do these big corporate cancel culture cowards control what and how news is reported to you? They do it by strangling media outlets of their life's blood: advertising revenue. Twitter is just the latest of the free speech platforms to lose advertising. The same thing has been happening with Fox News and every other commercial conservative-leaning news platform dependent on ad revenues. Some are self-censoring their reporting to avoid additional losses, and there's nothing "fair and balanced" about that little secret.
