Daily Caller CDC deletes data at request of Gun Control Group
The CDC, at the request of gun control advocates, removed data on defensive use of firearms for no reason other than the Gun Violence Archive claimed the numbers made it hard to pass gun control laws.
Due to different methodologies, the range of defensive uses was wide, from 60,000 instances in which a gun was actually used. to 2.5 million counting cases where the presence of a firearm was only displayed or implied. Even the low estimate is 4 times the fatal criminal uses.
But on the request of the GVA the estimates of defensive uses were omitted entirely.
The CDC and the government as a whole are the enemies of truth, but claim they are the arbiters of what is misinformation.
Posted without comment because it is something I did not know about and thought Mr Green might find it interesting.
The 5th Estate as a check on the 4th Estate
Twitter 2.0 can prove to be very valuable if it remains neutral. You can tell how useful by how desperately the MSM tries to ignore it and how intensely the former dictators of the public square seek to disparage it.
WSJ Freelink Censorship by proxy?
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the Biden DOJ to enforce the law against itself and other Deep State actors, but the statute of limitations is long.
Forbes SBF Arrested just in time to avoid Congress
Sam Bankman-Fried, Democrats 2nd largest campaign donor after Soros, was arrested 1 day before he was to be questioned by Congress, thus protecting his Democrat beneficiaries from exposure. The SEC added charges of campaign finance fraud thus allowing him to claim self-incrimination to avoid naming names.

Twitter, on instructions from the Biden administration, suppressed contrary medical opinion by qualified experts during the COVID pandemic.
The CDC and FDA were wrong, the contrarians were right. But you never heard what they had to say.
This is why suppression of dissent in the sciences must be severely punished. The consequences of banning dissent are just too great. People cannot give informed consent to medical choices if they don’t hear other opinion.
Post Millennial Twitter files 3 part 1
The third tranche of twitter files will come out over 3 days.
Part one deals with the censoring of President Trump and his ultimate ban. Trump was censored long before Jan 6, in various ways, and likely at the request of Federal agencies. Regardless of what you think of Trump, this establishes Deep State actors conspired with Twitter executives to censor Americans, selectively and for partisan purposes.
Hang on for parts 2 & 3
Post Millennial The tools of suppression
Not so much about outside influences in this batch, mostly just how censorship and bias was exercised by the Twitter staff.
One item of interest regarding the release of the Twitter Files. It appears that former FBI lawyer and later Twitter lawyer Jim Baker concealed files from Musk and may have destroyed some.
Trump distracts from Twitter scandal
Sometimes I am thankful for the Democrats ability to nominate greater evils. There is no other explanation for Trump getting elected the first time.
With the Twitter files coming out the total corruption and un-American nature of the Democratic party and its elitist allies in Big Tech and the Deep State was playing out for all to see. The proof that a fraud was committed against the American voter through selective censorship and false dismissal of the evidence of the Biden family’ corruption is now undeniable. All Trump had to do is sit back and watch.
But instead he suggests his loss in the election justifies disregarding the Rule of Law and even parts of the Constitution. There are no circumstances, not even war, that justify ignoring the Constitution.
He found a way to bring more negative attention to himself than was rightfully falling on the Democrats. Hopefully, he has made himself so unelectable that the GOP will turn away.
