Elon uses X to shape the world. His tweets matter. When Musk blocks you, you can’t see important information readily available to others, not even when quoted by a friend. This amounts to a brave new kind of censorship, targeted at particular members of the audience.
@elonmusk I’m not saying this is Musk’s intent. It seems likely to me that he doesn’t even realize how different X looks after his block.

I sat next to a nurse (older) on a flight. I asked her about her experience during the Covid crisis. She said that “anti-vaxxers” had made things tough. Then she stopped herself and said “of course don’t know if you might be an anti-vaxxer”

I said “I wasn’t one, but the Covid vaccine nonsense woke me up”. I told her I knew a lot of injured people from the Covid jabs, and I couldn’t believe these highly novel, barely tested shots were being given to healthy, young people who stood to gain nothing from them, and that I was shocked that they were still being recommended.

She nodded in agreement and said the mRNA vaccines had been particularly bad, indicating she was aware of many people injured and killed by them.

Later in the conversation she told me that her husband had recently died of pancreatic cancer. And her son had been diagnosed with aggressive, metastatic colon cancer.

She did not appear to see a connection between the shots and the cancers. The timing of these tumors could of course, be mere coincidences, but I would have thought the question of a possible connection would be obvious. And given the frank medical nature of our conversation, I believe she would have mentioned a suspicion if she’d had one.

I find the whole encounter disorienting, suggesting a fragmented belief structure that I believe must be common amongst those getting their news from corrupted sources—the smoldering ruins of a collapsed mass formation event.

#NeverAgain P.S. this is accurate to the best of my recollection, but I’m sure it’s not perfect.

Bad news. I was right, again. In this case about George Floyd and Derek Chauvin, but what should be bugging you is the question of how it’s possible to beat the experts and the public consensus so regularly.

Hint: there’s a method. Many claim to use it. Most are faking.

The method that allows a person to beat the experts is called: First Principles Thinking. The entire intellectual class swears they’re doing it. Most probably believe they are—but aren’t. The sign that someone is practicing the art is predictive power.

The DarkHorse Podcast (recorded 10/10/23)

The Israel Attacks: Beyond the Obvious with @efenigson The line between good and evil is, in this case, crystal clear--and it applies to us all. Barbarism is evil, especially carried out against civilians, immeasurably more so against children. Further, notions of collective guilt and punishment are incompatible with moral decency.

My account seems to be specially restricted on X/Twitter. High-engagement tweets stay well below the fold on trends—not the case under previous management. I brought this to Musk’s attention. He asked for more info, then blocked me when I provided it. Perhaps that’s on me. Here’s an example of the issue. Look at the engagement numbers of the tweets above mine in the Sam Harris trend.

Here is some advice, Claire. I hope you’ll take it in the spirit in which it is offered.

You had a blind spot before COVID. You believed vaccines were simply safe. And these shots were carefully branded as “vaccines” so they would fit in that blind spot.

https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1688359213784059904

Your error was serious, but you’re not a doctor or biologist, so it’s at least partly understandable.

That changes when you, as a journalist, discover you were misled (“safe and effective” was nonsense from the start) and you fail to investigate how deep the rabbit hole goes.

DarkHorse was wrong on masks. We were persuaded by people who had it right, like @creon.

You won’t find us claiming that all those who rejected masks early were “right for the wrong reasons”. That reflex is a refuge for fragile egos. It leads to madness.
zerohedge.com/political/mass… I reserve the right to invoke ‘right for the wrong reasons’ where applicable. But the bar is high since that argument can easily cloak incompetence and suppress insight.

It comes with logical requirements, like specificity on what the wrong reasons are and what makes them wrong.

They say "Nothing Burger" but they mean ‘Nothing-New Burger’. It’s a tactic to avoid natural consequences.

What’s new in the #TwitterFiles is clear evidence of a governmental conspiracy to violate the 1st Amendment. And yes, we already knew it was occurring.

#TwitterFiles4

What we’re really seeing is a power imbalance so great that if 1) the revelation of, and 2)the evidence that proves a criminal conspiracy can be separated in time, then losses to the corrupt elite that colluded against us can be managed.

They’re ‘flaring off’ the outrage.

No one can say with certainty that Celine Dion contracted this rare disorder from a Covid “vaccine”. It could be conclusively ruled out, but not in. That said, autoimmune disorders were a clear potential from this technology. We discussed it on DarkHorse before harms were known. We will know something if this disorder suddenly becomes substantially more common, and if the increase is in the subset of the population who we’re inoculated, assuming of course that open discussion of the pattern as allowed. And that is not a given in the current environment.

Let’s talk about where the bodies will be buried with these new flu shots, before there are any actual bodies.

Without a mechanism to direct the mRNA to particular tissues, we must assume the mRNA will be taken up haphazardly. Expected result: auto-immune damage to vital organs.

https://twitter.com/economictimes/status/1597638092420272128

As soon as it was clear that the Covid shots circulated around the body, they should have been pulled from the market for this reason alone. It’s totally predictable that this design flaw will cause some people to die from damage to their heart and/or major blood vessels.

I suspect that Sam Harris and Claire Lehman leaving is part of an attempt to delegitimize Twitter, whether Sam and Claire understand that or not. Zero is a special number, and if Twitter can’t be controlled, or closed, then it must be relegated to 2nd tier status. @elonmusk I’d also point out that neither took their business account with them when they went. @MakingSenseHQ and @Quillette remain. So what are we to glean from their exits? Is Twitter a hell-scape or not?

I don’t accept it’s about how they were treated given how they treated others.

"Stochastic Terrorism" is a diabolical sleight of hand. It chills debate by hyper-criminalizing critique--If you object publicly to something (e.g. exposing kids to drag/porn, late term abortion, forced vaccination) you become responsible for the violence of strangers.

https://twitter.com/davidhogg111/status/1594691598603890689

I say "hyper-criminalizing" because invoking 'terrorism' triggers an exotic legal framework, unhooking regular checks and balances, and investing incredible discretion in the executive

Obviously real terrorism involves intent. This absurd extension is a powerful, dangerous trick

When the most powerful nation in the world reforms its voting apparatus in ways that increase opportunities for large scale fraud, we would be fools not to wonder why.

https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1591810252550406144

If our elections are fair, it can only be due to vigilance—evidence of substantial fraud being actively sought and not found. And that evidence must be sought by patriots empowered to find it, not partisans motivated to invent it.

Attn: @elonmusk

The absurd barring of @drrollergator from Twitter needs to be reversed. It’s now urgent as the concept of “Stochastic Terrorism” becomes central to the erosion of liberty in the US (see Scientific American piece linked here)

scientificamerican.com/article/how-st… Here’s @drrollergator’s excellent piece on “stochastic terrorism”.

Essential thread. Add to it: Zero is a Special Number

DarkHorse listeners know what it means: there must be *zero* functional platforms, universities, newsrooms, science journals, because even one stable exception would turn the tide. That’s why @elonmusk is being targeted.

https://twitter.com/samuel_reads/status/1582832793784299520

The reason the number is 0 is that any exception would win almost immediately. If there was a real newspaper, we’d all subscribe, an honest major platform, we’d all use it, a sane university, we’d all send our kids, a real science journal, we’d all… It would be a super-species.

Glad to see people are alarmed by the DHS Ministry of Truth announcement. But let's connect the full set of dots.

Recall that "Disinformation" has been defined by the DHS as "terrorism" giving the Executive branch utterly extraordinary powers to fight it.

https://twitter.com/BretWeinstein/status/1493263755240636418

Once you've been secretly designated a disinformation-terrorist, your rights evaporate, and the executive has unlimited power over you. You don't even have the right to know that the designation has occurred. See the Patriot Act and NDAA 2012 Sec 1021-1022

Far Right/Far Left: A thread

Right vs. Left is about a fundamental trade-off. Both sides have a point. The correct bias depends on the current predicament and topic. Sometimes change ranges from sensible to necessary. Other times it ranges from counterproductive to foolhardy. Some people are prone to see possibilities, missed opportunities, and injustices--and such people are often insensitive to the hazards of change. This is the left/liberal/progressive bias.

The CDC has reversed itself and now recommends early treatment for Covid. The DHS memo of Feb. 7th seems to suggest those who argued for the value of early treatment before CDC’s acknowledgment—though factually correct—have spread “malinformation”, a kind of terrorism.

Joe Rogan faces a smear campaign because he's a threat to illegitimate power. It wants him controlled. It doesn't care *at all* about the n-word. This is about the sacred narrative and keeping Rogan's huge audience from hearing at length from experts who know what's wrong with it What's so special about Joe Rogan? He's a free, honest and curious man, with the well earned trust and attention of millions. Nothing could be more dangerous. Look at it through the eyes of those who captured our institutions and you'll understand why he has been targeted.

You and @joerogan were clear, so much so that your accusers haven’t even been able to edit you into ambiguity. They are amplifying the clip in hopes someone can figure out how to frame a credible objection or, failing that, the audience will simply record that one has been made.

https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1487393759943929860

The subtext is that you and Joe aren’t allowed to discuss the topic of race unless you are repeating presently fashionable platitudes. And that is, of course, racism in its purist form. @Trevornoah can make observations that you can’t.

Truth doesn’t work like that. Power does.

Pharma has captured more than regulators and public health authorities. It has invaded people’s minds—including some good ones. Neil Young won’t cause Spotify to toss Joe Rogan but pressure will continue to mount. Whenever it does we should say: #ThanksJoeRogan &
#ThankYouSpotify Strange that the fate of the West may depend on the @joerogan Experience, and that JRE may need our defense. But I assure you both are true.

Pharma and its partners know. That is why the heat is being turned up on Joe and @Spotify. It’s the front line of the war on free speech.
