Patriots Are In Control: Elon Musk’s Takeover Of Twitter
It cannot be overstated how big of a deal this is. Elon Musk has finally taken control of Twitter. There were many many times where this deal appeared to be dead, and Elon himself is kind of a wildcard and prankster so it was difficult to gauge his sincerity, but it finally happened. Now we will wait and see if he keeps his promises and restores Twitter to being a true free speech platform.
The deal was finalized on Thursday and immediately Musk began taking out the trash.
On Thursday night, Mr. Musk closed his $44 billion deal to buy the social media service, said three people with knowledge of the situation. He also began cleaning house, with at least four top Twitter executives — including the chief executive and chief financial officer — getting fired on Thursday. Mr. Musk had arrived at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters on Wednesday and met with engineers and ad executives.
You may also remember that Vijaya lady was with Jack Dorsey when they both got grilled by Tim Pool and Joe Rogan on Joe’s podcast.
Let’s just say she didn’t take her firing very well.
Gadde cried during the meeting as she expressed concerns about how the company could change, according to three people familiar with the meeting. She acknowledged that there are significant uncertainties about what the company will look like under Musk’s leadership.
“If you look up the word ‘inspiring’ in the dictionary you find a picture of @vijaya,” tweeted senior public policy associate Kennedy O’Brien.
But it wasn’t just Libs who were upset to see her go. Here is one of Mike Pence’s old staffers lamenting her firing.
Some pranksters got in on the fun and tricked the media into believing they were also recently fired Twitter employees.
President Donald Trump’s Reaction
Tucker Carlson’s Reaction
So now that Elon Musk has ushered in a new regime at Twitter what does it mean? Earlier this year, Elon had this to say about his vision for Twitter.
A few days before Elon officially purchased Twitter, Darren Beattie joined Tucker Carlson to discuss what Elon Musk is up against if he truly delivers on his promise to return Twitter to being a free speech platform.
Revolver News: The Battle of the Century: Here’s What Happens if Elon Musk Buys Twitter
The Globalist American Empire will never be brought down unless people like Elon Musk are ready to step up to the plate with genuinely bold, risky, and meaningful moves like buying and liberating Twitter.
But it will not be easy. It will be a war. Let the battle begin.
Darren also discussed the way the Regime uses social media for intelligence operations.
Revolver News has two must read pieces on how this works.
After the Twitter deal was completed, Tucker Carlson gave a monologue on why the Regime requires censorship.
But the Biden administration can't allow you to laugh at Rachel Levine or at Karine Jean-Pierre or Kamala Harris or any of the other transparently absurd figures they’re pretending are running our country, or, for that matter, at Biden himself, who somehow they tell you got "81 million votes" despite being senile and rarely going outside.
It's all pretty funny when you think about it, but you can't laugh and you can't laugh because humor is the most subversive thing. Once you start noticing the pure, hilarious ridiculousness of the people in charge, you may be much less likely to obey them. So, it's absolutely vital that somebody wipe that smirk off your face by force if necessary.
The Biden administration is in trouble because of this. Everything depends for them on censorship—everything! They're going to do everything they can to shut Twitter down again. They're going to do their best to destroy its new owner, and Elon Musk must know that. He's doing it anyway and that's the definition of bravery. People assume always the billionaires can afford to be bold. You can do whatever you want. You're rich!
But the opposite is true actually. Look around. How many brave billionaires are there? Not many. Why? Because the more you have, the more you have to lose. There's no such thing as f-you money. There's only f-you poverty and yet the richest man in the world is risking it all to save free speech. Whatever you think of Elon Musk and however this ends, that's a remarkable thing to watch.
Besides the firings, nothing has changed yet with Twitter. It does appear as though they’re not enforcing their more strict terms of service, but it looks like we’ll have to wait for this “content moderation council” to be set up until we start seeing major changes.
Elon has hinted at a few of the changes he’s considering though. Here are some of them.

Revolver News: Carpe Diem: Elon Musk’s Day One Agenda for Making Twitter Great Again
As of today, you are now the proud owner of the world’s most high-profile speech platform. It cost you a pretty penny—$44 billion is higher than the endowment of Yale, the GDP of Latvia, or all of SpaceX’s revenues combined in its entire twenty-year history.
But what you’ve bought isn’t just another tech company. What you’ve bought is power: The power to totally remake the nature of modern public discourse. In a world where constraints on speech grow by the day, inexorably, you have the power to stand in the breach and reverse the course of history—and maybe make a lot of money doing it.

Personnel is Policy: Elon Needs To Hire People Who Are Smart, Tough, And Relentlessly Mission Aligned
Elon Musk is up against a lot. The Regime enjoyed having control over Twitter, including direct communication with these social media platforms to censor narratives they didn’t like and plans to form a “disinformation governance board.”
The Regime is going to strike back. Will Elon be able and willing to resist it and march ahead with his stated mission? Let’s hope so. As Elon said, “My strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization.” He’s right. Now march away, Elon, and dispose of this Censorship Regime.

Michigan Dems Sneak In Genital Mutilation Amendment
Michigan Dems are trying to take advantage of the overturning of Roe v. Wade to sneak in a right to genital mutilation into their “abortion rights” amendment. America First Candidate John Gibbs, who is running for Congress in MI-03, joined Tucker Carlson this week to discuss this latest lib trickery.
Margot Cleveland of the Federalist wrote a piece on this amendment.
"Prop 3 isn’t about codifying Roe. It’s about sacrificing the children of Michigan — both born and unborn."
"In less than one month, if Prop 3 passes, children will have a right under the Michigan constitution to walk into one of Planned Parenthood’s 12 so-called 'gender affirming facilities in the state &, without parental knowledge or consent, obtain puberty blockers."
Florida Medical Board Bans Puberty Blockers For Minors
Florida is thankfully taking the opposite approach as Michigan. Protecting America’s children from this horror show is one of the most important things Red States MUST do. These actions will save many lives. Godspeed Florida!
The Florida Board of Medicine has voted to ban 'gender-affirming care' for trans teenagers in the state.
The move will block access to puberty blockers and hormone therapies to minors under the age of 18 who have gender dysphoria.
Board members said the decision was made based on the irreversibility of the drugs and the growing number of people choosing to 'de-transition'.
The recommendation will now be passed on to the full medical board, who are expected to adopt the rule.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced legislation to ban these depraved drugs and procedures at the Federal level. We covered this important bill in our August Newsletter.
Representative Green also brought up Chloe Cole to tell her story about how these gender mutilation drugs impacted her and why she regrets taking them.
