Speaking at a Democrat fundraiser in Chicago Nov. 4, President Joe Biden slammed Twitter CEO Elon Musk, claiming the Twitter “spews lies around the world.” Considered the top social network program for disseminating information, Twitter can’t possibly control, under their 329 Congressional protection, that a few bad apples spread propaganda and disinformation on the platform. But no one’s more guilty of spreading disinformation and propaganda than Biden or his acolytes that write the president’s talking points. Biden ripped Twitter as “an outfit that sends and spews lies all across the world,” not specifying which lies he’s talking about. What could be a bigger lie than the U.S. tries to save democracy from an evil tyrant, 70-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden’s proxy war against Putin using Ukrainian troops is about settling an old score with Putin.
Biden was Vice President under former President Barack Obama when he decided to spend billions backing a civil war, paying Syrian insurgency groups to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Eight-years of proxy war in Syria under Obama and Biden killed over 500,000 Syrians, displacing 15 million more into neighboring countries and the European Union. Called the worst refugee crisis since WW II, Obama and Biden’s proxy war created havoc around the Middle East and practically broke the EU. Back in 2016, British citizens voted for Brexit, mainly because of a refugee backlash and terrorism from the refugee crisis. U.K. citizens had enough of Mideast terrorism, voting to remove themselves from the EU. Obama and Biden’s proxy war was spoiled by Putin in 2015 when Putin decided to protect Bashar al-Assad, leaving Obama and Biden’s proxy war in shambles.
Biden hasn’t leveled with the American public or EU, for that matter, about his aid to topple the Russian government of Vladimir Putin. No one in the EU, holding sympathies for the Feb. 24 Russian invasion, signed up to watch the U.S. fund a proxy war against the Russian Federation. Not a single EU country believes that the U.S. or Kiev has any chance of vanquishing the Russian Army. Biden made his thoughts known March 26 when he said in Warsaw that Putin cannot remain as Russian President. All the walking back by White House didn’t work with 69-year-old Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin saying April 26 that the aim of the U.S. military was to degrade the Russian military from waging war. None of the real facts about the Ukraine War showed up on Twitter or any other social network. Biden concealed the fact that he’s footing the bill to the bankrupt Ukraine government.
Biden says Twitter’s the platform that spews lies all over the world. But what does the White House do when they deny the Ukraine War has an adverse impact on financial markets around the globe. If the Ukraine War ended, global financial markets would seen an automatic rebound from the global equity sell-offs that’s brought the U.S. and global economy on the verge of recession. “Now what are we all worried about? Elon Musk goes out and buys an outfit that sends and spews lies all across the world,” Biden said in Chicago. What evidence does Biden have that the vast majority of Twitter users disseminate lies and misinformation, whatever their particular agenda or business? White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden wants Twitter to “reduce hate speech and misinformation,” not specifying what hate speech and misinformation they’re talking about.
White House propagandists like 45-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan lie continuously to the public about the Ukraine War or efforts underway to help cut a deal to get 31-year-old WNBA Brittney Griner out of Russian jail. Sullivan says freeing Griner is the White House’s top priority. But is it a top priority when the White House wage proxy war against the Russian Federation, knowing there will be no deal for Griner until they end the Ukraine War. Casting aspersions is easy for the White House while they divert the public’s attention away from the real causes of hyperinflation, forcing the Federal Reserve Board to hike rates to slow the economy. Where are the real lies, on Twitter or coming from the White House. “There’s no editors anymore. There’s no editors. How do we expect kids to be able to understand what is at stake,” Biden asked about Twitter.
Twitter has Congressional 329 protections, prohibiting social networks from censoring content on the Website. Where are the White House editors that Biden’s talking about? Biden gets away with making up stuff about the economy or foreign policy as he goes. Biden refuses to admit that his Russian oil embargo fueled global shortages and skyrocketing prices, driving inflation around the planet. Why is it OK for the White House to fabricate its narrative daily, including rubbish about the Midterm elections, but it’s not OK for social networks to allow content freely on their platforms? Biden says Twitter spews lies across the world but what does White House do? Biden hasn’t leveled with the American public why he’s spent over $70 billion on Ukraine when the American public suffer daily with inflation? Time for Biden to stop spewing propaganda and disinformation.
