“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984
Matt Taibbi best known for his twitter files, has been making the media rounds. Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday Morning Futures interview is worth a look. I have caught several of his stops and he is an interesting guy. A Bernie for President fan, he is willing to stretch himself and take a hard look at the Democrat party. What he sees he acknowledges is “terrifying.”
Even better, Taibbi in the second interview I have included, let’s us know that Debbi Wasserman Schultz was the most profitable in stock trading as a member of Congress. A report with sardonic humor; an interview that nails it as well as we learn that more Twitter files have been released that are explosive, but the media has moved on and simply zero reporting.
‘Something Very Dramatic Has Changed’: Matt Taibbi Says Democrats Have Ditched Free Speech“
‘It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words….In 1984 Our resident Newspeaker, Syme, says these words to Winston in the cafeteria at work. Winston brought up Newspeak, and Syme, who’s been working on the latest edition, is eager to chat about all the innovations.1984: The whole point of Newspeak, as Syme explains, is to make it impossible for people to commit thoughtcrime. If no words exist to express concepts like “freedom,” then thoughts contrary to the political doctrine of Big Brother will slowly die, until Oldspeak, with all its “useless shades of meaning,” will be gone for good.
Independent journalist Matt Taibbi discusses the U.S.’s growing national security concerns regarding China’s access to sensitive TikTok user data.
Here is another interesting interview that is worth a look if you have the time.
Incredible to be that Debbie Wasserman Schultz had the gall to accuse and berate Matt Taibbi about making money Yet she herself is using legalized insider stock trading.
Taibbi led the team of journalists who reported on the inner workings of Twitter and how government agencies pressured the platform to censor content online. They were criticized as “so-called journalists” and accused of cherry-picking information by Democrats during a congressional hearing about the Twitter Files.
Taibbi was known for his long career with Rolling Stone before he moved to Substack. He has written multiple New York Times bestsellers and won the 2008 National Magazine Award for columns and commentary.
Matt Taibbi joined to discuss his appearance with the House Judiciary Committee & how Debbie Wasserman Schultz used it as an opportunity to grandstand about honesty & integrity in government regarding his releasing of the Twitter files.

The title of the post is misleading, since in the clip he says nothing of the sort, but merely references the Disinformation Governance Board as something that “had to be paused after only three weeks and was eventually discarded.” He said nothing about “Biden’s push” for the board or about the board being “frightening.”

The double shift into newspeak made my head spin. NO ONE is immune from vicious leftist attack. It’s like how one of the great medical creations of the 20th century (Ivermectin) honored with a Nobel Prize in medicine (and discovered about 15 years ago that it helped with virus) suddenly becomes a “horse dewormer” even when made by a pharmacy for humans. Once every station sings the same tune you’ve already got your first clue that someone is messing with your mind.

It is sad to see the Democrats calling Taibbi a “so-called journalist” during House hearings. They may not realize it, but eventually this will just wear down their own credibility even among the most stalwart of Democrats.

Several points:
We’re Wasserbeast on the right she’d get three hots and a cot.
Biden’s disinformation board is a misnomer. He couldn’t pronounce the word and lick his ice cream cone at the same time so we must assume one or more, probably a whole gaggle of his geeee, his merry band of anti-American, pro-China,pro-Iranian nuclear, anti-straight, anti-male, anti-white, pro-reparation, anti-gas stove, anti-gasoline buddies arecwhispering in his earpiece and pushing this.
Meanwhile the Taibbis of the media world will sloooow walk their anti-left allegiance if at all.

You’re close enough to NYC to know the ongoing destruction of what once was the greatest city in the country if not the world has not changed democrat allegiance by its citizens one iota. This attitude will prevail across the entire country as it is flushed down the toilet; a republican has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning a national election in 2024. The left has yet to begin sharpening its long knives. IMO.

Peter, NYC is mostly a city of Democrats; do they not SEE what’s happening to their city? Aren’t they, too, afraid of the attacks on innocent people there? What’s UP? Jessica Tarlov, leftwinger often on The Five, hits back at the conservatives there CONSTANTLY and reminds them that cities all over America have worse crime than NYC…”even in Mike Pence’s Indiana,” as she enjoys saying…..so she shuts down the conversation then they GO TO A COMMERCIAL! Drives me nuts 🙂 But the point is…she’s a born/bred New Yorker….so are Millions of people….is it NOT that bad or are they all so intent on their ideology that the safety of their own children takes a back seat?

Taibbi is very much a man of the left. He joins a growing cohort of good liberals who left the plantation and reveal the truth wherever it lies. Trust me. All of them are all over Republicans when they get caught doing something. They all detest Donald Trump, but they don’t slobber on about it. My hope is “good liberalism” will overtake and marginalize the rabid left progressives.
