As I'm prepping for this evenings 8pm first ever LIVE @KashsCorner, I'm as usual doing so by looking at @themarketswork's and @HansMahncke's exceptional work at @EpochTVus's "Truth Over News." If you don't follow their work here, DO IT RIGHT AWAY. 🧵[1/n]
I was a relative newcomer to the ins & outs of #Spygate when we started @AmThoughtLeader in 2019. I had the incredible privilege to have the whole picture explained to me directly by @themarketswork, who took me under his wing, patiently explaining🧵[2/n]
...all sorts of intricacies of what @elonmusk recently dubbed "Confusing-gate." @themarketswork's attention to detail, rock solid certainty on items that deserved such designation, while also making clear that other elements were educated guesses, 🧵[3/n] theepochtimes.com/jeff-carlson-o…
...made @themarketswork the one person (aside perhaps @LeeSmithDC) that I could go to reliably to understand the state of knowledge on #Russiagate at any given time. We started on camera with the May 27, 2000 @AmThoughtLeader interview in the previous tweet, as COVID 🧵[4/n]
...restrictions had come into full force. Actually, I have to take that back. I just remembered we really started in our old Orange County office on Dec 18, 2019, when @AmThoughtLeader existed only on Youtube, and the #censorship regimes were early 🧵[5/n]
And I'm acutely reminded how critical the "little corner of Twitter" of citizen journalists that @themarketswork & @HansMahncke were a part of was in uncovering the falsity of "Trump-Russia collusion" & the scandal of the century. Thank you all. 🧵[7/7] theepochtimes.com/c-truth-over-n…

Unanimous SCOTUS: “The line between a forum for private expression and the government’s own speech is important, but not always clear… For years, Boston has allowed private groups to request use of the flagpole to raise flags of their choosing…" 🧵[1/n] theepochtimes.com/bostons-refusa…
"As part of this program, Boston approved hundreds of requests to raise dozens of different flags. The city did not deny a single request to raise a flag until, in 2017, Harold Shurtleff, the director of a group called Camp Constitution, asked to fly a Christian flag…" [2/n]
"Boston refused." The Supreme Court concluded that “on balance, Boston did not make the raising & flying of private groups’ flags a form of government speech. That means, in turn, that Boston’s refusal to let Shurtleff and Camp Constitution raise their flag…" [3/n]
Notable: Members of the UK's Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour express regret about ‘unethical’ methods; Use of fear to control behaviour in #COVID19 crisis was ‘totalitarian’, they admit. 🧵[1/n] archive.fo/7azQ8
"SPI-B [Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour] warned in March last year that ministers needed to increase “the perceived level of personal threat” from #COVID19 because “a substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened”." [2/n]
"Gavin Morgan, a psychologist on the team, said: “Clearly, using fear as a means of control is not ethical. Using fear smacks of totalitarianism. It’s not an ethical stance for any modern government. …all this has given me a more pessimistic view of people.”" [3/n]
"Dimon’s statements disavowing responsibility show that #WallStreet firms will continue to funnel US money into Chinese companies regardless of the risks, collecting their fees with glee…"
[2/3] "Gensler’s response, in which he promised to push for more disclosure from Chinese companies, shows that the #SEC still doesn’t understand that #XiJinping has no intention of allowing that to happen.
The #CCP’s recent actions show clearly that the risks of investing…"
[3/3] "…in Chinese companies that have no real accountability & transparency are growing quickly—and steps to protect US capital markets must be hastened… #WallStreet firms & regulators who ignore this now are failing in their responsibility to protect the American people."
At Stop the 2022 #GenocideGames rally in front of the US Capitol. It's asking the question: Are we really going to host/attend an @Olympics in the #CCP's #China when we know full well #Genocide (if not several) is taking place?
Representatives of ethnic and religious groups persecuted by the #CCP at the Stop the 2022 #GenocideGames rally. Captive Nations’ @Se_HoonKim speaking in the background.
Blind Chinese activist lawyer Chen Guangcheng @iguangcheng reflects on his memories when he was in prison during the 2008 Beijing @Olympics, which many argued were a #GenocideGames in themselves (See: ):
"My question is: can we allow this to happen again?"

There is so much in this @ggreenwald piece worthy of quoting that I don't know quite where to start, but here goes. Best just read the whole thing end-to-end. 🧵1/n greenwald.substack.com/p/corporate-ne…
"Every journalist, even the most honest and careful, will get things wrong sometimes, and trustworthy journalists issue prompt corrections when they do. That behavior should be *trust-building*. But when media outlets continue to use the same reckless and deceitful tactics…" 2/n
"—such as claiming to have “independently confirmed” one another's false stories when they have merely served as stenographers for the same anonymous security state agents while "confirming” nothing—that strongly suggests a complete indifference to the truth &, even more so…"3/n
Clarification: The #CrimesAgainstHumanity perpetrated by the #CCP against these groups are ALL a long time in the making. My comment about #Tibet above is that we as "enlightened" societies knew full well back in 1998 the horrors that the #CCP is capable of & still opened...
