Email sent to Alex Berenson addressing my permanent Twitter suspension
Approved speech is not free speech.
After having my account permanently suspended for re-Tweeting a posted article with no “misinformation” banner — not to mention posting the counterpoint to that article’s argument in a follow-up Tweet I sent, both Tweets having to do with Covid vaccines and miscarriages and how the data was counted — it’s clear to me that my account was targeted by Twitter for removal.
I’m interested in contacting your legal team.
— Because worse than outright censorship, in my view, is the censorship companies like Twitter, working in tandem with our government, condition us to engage in — namely, the necessity to self censor so as not to anger self-proclaimed speech gods.
A free republic cannot withstand such an assault wherein even those who are never openly persecuted are nevertheless being trained to surrender their individual autonomy. Free speech within a context of approved speech is not free in any meaningful sense. It’s fascism, as your own case showed.
For reference, I wrote about the inevitability of this moment for speech in a still widely-read Hot Air piece in 2009.

Was wondering where you went when I couldn't find you on twitter, but saw the link to this blog from Ace's site. Good to see you back up and running. Did you ever hear back from Berenson? I suspect, based on your follow-up blog post, that you haven't and don't expect to. That's a shame, but I guess unsurprising in some ways. Look forward to reading what you have to say here. Cheers.
@Twitter and @Facebook are controlled enemy territories, Government-monitored-by-proxy territories, fully enveloped by the one-Party governing apparatus that is the modern @TheDemocrats Party. Anything said contrary any @DNC narrative (and don't even think of public protests e.g. J6) is now considered de facto criminal activities and must be silenced, or worse. What's coming next was just fiction 30 years ago.
