Tonight, Matt Taibbi posted an email that scares me quite honestly. I’ve had a couple Twitter accounts banned with no explanation and I’ve suspected that I will show up in the Twitter files, but instead some of my friends did.
I personally know 15poundstogo - that is FOIAFan who played a crucial role in teaching me about FOIA. He is an extremely kind and generous American and has never posted anything remotely pro-Russian.
But here we see an official with the State Department asking Twitter to destroy his account.
Likewise, Guccifer2Henry and Spicy Noodles are established members of the “corner” I speak to often. They are Americans, not Russians. They are absolutely real people and real accounts.
I do not speak to ThunderStrzok1, but I am familiar with their account and I have never seen anything “pro-Russian” or suggestive of being a bot, or a Russian government controlled account. RussiaHackSite is another account I am familiar with, and to my knowledge, all I have seen are factual tweets on Russiagate - though I don’t follow that particular account.
This is quite shocking to me, because I can say 3-4 of these accounts were probably only flagged because they tweeted or re-tweeted items on Russiagate. Maybe some Hunter Biden stuff around that time. That’s it.
This Russia “expert” in the State Department says without a shred of evidence that the Russian government controls these accounts?
This is information warfare, and nothing less. They didn’t like what these accounts said so they made up an excuse to try to have their accounts destroyed.
How many other accounts of our Twitter corner have been flagged?

I must have been one. Never could find out how many or which twitter rules I broke. I am a real person, using my real name and read "this corner of twitter" for many years. Of course, I tweeted about the Russia hoax, the vaccine that has made me sick, but perhaps the topper was my tweet to Twitter, asking why I had so many transgender pics in my feed from people I didn't follow. Maybe Yoel didn't like that one. Said nothing negative about the trannies, just the number of pics in the feed. It is scary to think that the government has you in their files.
I'm not surprised
I killed my own accounts before they came for me
but 2 or 3 of them wouldn't shock me to have been on these lists... we shall see
You're probably there to right along with climate audit, hans manke and some others in this "sleuths corner"
We knew long ago that Victoria Nuland had it out for Dan Bongino whilst working at state and this dude was probably kivitsing with her about all this spygate/russiagate
It's a badge of honor for Larry and probably a good civil rights lawsuit
