More news about Twitter’s interference in elections might drop soon, but the news might go beyond what leftist employees at the leftist social media site did to put Joe Biden in the White House.
It appears that Twitter also interfered with Brazil’s recent presidential election, and apparently helped leftist Lula da Silva squeak by incumbent Jair Bolsonaro.
For weeks, pro-Bolsonaro Brazilians have flooded the streets to protest the election of what amounts to a communist, just as pro-Trump Americans staged a mostly peaceful protest at the U.S. Capitol when Traitor Joe Biden walked off with his suspicious victory.
If Twitter was in the tank for Biden, as the recently released Twitter Files show, we have no reason to believe it wasn’t in the tank for Silva.
“Concerning Tweets”
Once again, the revelation about the possible election-rigging came directly from new Twitter CEO Elon Musk, when he answered a question from Rebel News correspondent Avi Yemini.
“Can you find out what other elections were ‘handled’ by the former Twitter regime?” Yemini asked.
Replied Musk:
I’ve seen a lot of concerning tweets about the recent Brazil election. If those tweets are accurate, it’s possible that Twitter personnel gave preference to left wing candidates.
Rank-and-file Brazilians are furious that Bolsonaro lost to leftist Silva, and they’ve taken to the streets to show their fury.
“Citizens have flooded the streets of ‘every city’ in Brazil to protest against alleged voter fraud in the country’s recent presidential election,” as one tweet put it above a protest photo.
“The feeling we Brazilians have is that we had a completely unbalanced election, which is why thousands of people have been on the streets for the last month in protest, without the biased press publishing a single line about it,” tweeted João Henrique N de Freitas in a reply to Musk and Yemini:
I can mention, as an example, a congressman named Janones, who propagates fake news, who is not bothered by the authorities, while others, including authorities and respectful opinion makers, have their accounts blocked by judicial censorship. There is no democratic freedom.
Question is, was Twitter blocking accounts on behalf of Silva to stop Bolsonaro the same way it blocked news of Hunter Biden’s laptop on behalf of Joe Biden?
Twitter Files
That’s what Musk showed last week when he released the Twitter Files through journalist Matt Taibbi.
Twitter suppressed the New York Post’s explosive story about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which was left at a repair shop in Delaware.
The laptop showed not only that Hunter Biden was a drug-addled sex pervert, but also that his old man lied when said he knew nothing of Hunter’s global business activities. An email showed that Hunter introduced a Ukrainian businessman to his father in 2015, when he was still vice president.
“Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be ‘unsafe,’” Taibbi tweeted:
They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography….
The decision was made at the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey, with former head of legal, policy and trust Vijaya Gadde playing a key role.
Taibbi’s report also showed that Twitter squelched five tweets at the request of the “Biden team.” When the job was done, a Twitter executive explained that it was “handled.”
Twitter’s move against the laptop revelations was part of a coordinated disinformation operation on the part of the Biden campaign, social media, and the leftist mainstream media. They overtly or implicitly called the story “Russian disinformation.”
During a debate with Trump, Biden famously claimed that “five former heads of the CIA, both parties” said the laptop story was “garbage.” And 50 former intelligence officials, he claimed, said the story was a “Russian plant.”
“Obviously, we’re not going with the New York Post story right now on Hunter Biden, which seems to be giving its marching orders to Fox News and the right-wing echo chamber about what to talk about today,” said CNN’s political director David Chalian during a meeting at which network big shots decided not to cover the story.
Only in March — almost two years after the election — did The New York Times confess that the laptop was not a “Russian plant,” and that the scandalous emails, which also connected Joe Biden to his son’s business ventures with Chinese Reds, were authentic.
In August, Facebook chieftain Mark Zuckerberg told podcaster Joe Rogan how the platform handled the censorship after the “FBI warned” Facebook officials that the story might be “disinformation.”
In October, we learned that the FBI officials charged with killing the story were donors to Democratic candidates.
And inside the FBI, officials killed the probe, whistleblowers told GOP Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.
“Whistleblowers stated that local FBI leadership told employees, ‘you will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop,’” Johnson complained to FBI chief Christopher Wray.
