With the Biden administration, Big Tech, and Big Pharma working hand-in-glove to protect the regime narrative and shut down all dissent, it should come as no surprise that they looked for ways to silence Tucker Carlson.
For our government to coordinate such action against a journalist critical of government policy would be an obvious violation of the First Amendment. They would never do such a thing, right?
There was a time, not so long ago, when that sort of naive optimism would be understandable. But not anymore.
Today we have one side of the political aisle raging against deep-state actors subverting free speech and the other side of the political aisle justifying that same behavior as a necessary safeguard for free speech.
Yesterday, Trudeau’s Canada just passed the Online Streaming Act (Bill C-11) which puts the internet under the control of the same government bean counters as Canadian television regulators.
The left here would dearly love to see that sort of control here. In fact, the Tucker Carlson Twitter files remind us that they’ve already been doing it on the sly for some time now.
Earlier Twitter files stories have chronicled the interplay between Twitter execs and the White House in the days or weeks following Biden’s swearing-in. There was a massive push for Big Tech to become the enforcement arm of controlling the COVID narrative.
With Twitter execs like Yoel Roth having accepted their defacto role as the ‘deputized’ heavy responsible for shutting down pandemic WrongThink, we see how Twitter 1.0 reacted to factual news reporting by Tucker Carlson.
Yoel gets his own hands dirty here in tweet #7.
As you read, watch for the role Chuck Schumer’s influence plays in this story.
Let’s not forget that, just weeks ago Schumer had the stones to publicly call for Tucker’s removal from FoxNews… and did so from none other than that ‘Sacred Temple of Democracy’ itself — the one for which he claims to be the great defender. As direct an affront as one might imagine to the First Amendment… but crickets from the ‘free’ press.

4. Twitter then punished Tucker Carlson for this op-ed.
Tucker actually cited the World Health Organisation's own website which stated that the WHO was NOT recommending children get the COVID vax. pic.twitter.com/BKnMnyqbPV— Paul D. Thacker (@thackerpd) April 27, 2023
6. After Twitter began reviewing Tucker's op-ed for alleged COVID-19 misinformation, an employee emailed that they would take action by "labelling any tweets linking the article." #TwitterFiles pic.twitter.com/SXMkvnqjjq

8. One employee chimed in to explain various options Twitter could take that would affect the op-eds reach, without directly censoring Fox. There were various choices. pic.twitter.com/N1onXc1ylE

10. BTW, the Twitter official who first brought Tucker's article to attention came to Twitter from the office of Senator Chuck Schumer, a frequent Tucker critic. pic.twitter.com/A6SEJ8L6j0

Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.
Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.
This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
