#USAElection2024 and Information Censorship Complex
- A relook at Twitter Censorship and 2020 Elections 🧵

Do you remember Vijaya Gade and her Twitter information Censorship Saga in collusion with Joe Biden Govt.
Let's revisit this story to understand How Power is abused by the Powerful people...!!Image
1. TWITTER, WSGR, MACGILLIVRAY & WHITE HOUSE

There are six parts to this complex matrix.

1. Twitter, its censorship policies and the application and enforcement

2. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati [WSGR] an international law firm with over 1,000 attorneys representing many of the world's largest corporations, as a hub with spokes running to critically positioned individuals that is suggestive of WSGR as an interface for political control and influence across a wide array of Big Tech and geopolitical domains.

For the Biden Administration and who served the Obama White House similarly.

3. Alexander Macgillivray as a WSGR product who serves in the critical position of Principal Deputy U.S. Chief Technology Officer

4-Vijaya Gadde as a WSGR product who was installed by Macgillivray at Twitter when Macgillivray served as Twitter's General Counsel and where Gadde went on to suspend President Donald Trump

5. Former FBI General Counsel James Baker as a common thread through Twitter to President Trump and the FBI/DOJ FISA abuse against Trump

6. Alison Fauci, Dr. Anthony Fauci's daughter, as a Twitter engineer and Twitter's overlap to any potential communication and intelligence conduit for the COVID-19 enterprise fraud construct via Anthony Fauci and his NIH interface.Image
2. The Digital Pool

Twitter's inherent value to the elites, political class, and federal apparatus writ large was found in its ability to engage in perception management, which is a technical term more commonly referred to as "psyops" or "psychological warfare".

Content determination, algorithmic manipulation and politically motivated censorship of off-reservation messaging and political opposition are all evidenced examples of how Twitter engages in perception management or appears to do so.

Two evidenced domains of Twitter's engagement in perception management include censoring content relative to COVID-19 and the Hunter Biden Laptop story.

Evidence of Twitter's gatekeeper designation is found threaded through Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati as an interface for directly impacting the geopolitical landscape and rising to the level of affecting significant change.Image
