I would say that I’m one of those boomers in a millenial’s body; I really don’t understand my generation. With that, I extensively avoid social media as much as possible. The only reason I created my Twitter account was to promote my Substack, but I rarely do that because the nature of Twitter felt very destructive- it made me unproductive and it made me very reactive. So, every now and then I would post something from my Substack with my most recent post being theDr. Ardis rebuttal from yesterday.
Well, apparently Twitter considered this a violation of their COVID policies and my account has been locked. I find this extremely ironic considering that Substack continuously asks to link to your Twitter account to “make it easier to post” when in reality it seems like an easy way to get yourself in a position to violate Twitter’s completely arbitrary rules.
The dangerous tweet in question:
This is a large consequence of censorship where any dissemination of information would be immediately considered dangerous, even though my post was rebutting the claims made by Dr. Ardis.
This certainly isn’t anything new for many people, but I find it rather hilarious that it happened to me. It just goes to show you really don’t know when you run afoul until you’re persecuted for doing so.
OK, I probably should have added that my Twitter account only has around 100 followers and I average below 1 like per tweet, so really I find all of this hilarious. It appears that Twitter may have been found out about Ardis and started flagging accounts that mention either him or his theory? Either way it just appears that something may have occurred over the weekend.
How about they banned your account because they want to give Ardis traction - apparently some of the things he said are true (a heady mixture of truth and nonsense) - so when people start buying into it, they can then be made fun of because they're dumb and believing an idiot, blah blah blah - it's twisted trolling so that those perceived to be against the 'jab' but for Ardis can then be ridiculed even more. Credit to Chris Masterson of Peak Prosperity who does an absolutely fine job of pointing out the truths and the nonsense.
Could you point me to which parts of his arguments are true? I've tried watching more of Ardis and it was really difficult and was reaching a point where I was just wasting my time. I would like to see if there is other things but I really can't find anything of value from his arguments.
I do agree with your second half. A lot of the mainstream viewpoints want to find reasons to paint detractors as stupid and conspiracy theorists and this really doesn't help. It also doesn't help that many people have blindly considered Ardis as being absolutely truthful without doing their own research.
Well I already came to the conclusion that Ardis is controlled opposition and deliberately discrediting the truth movement. That you were blocked by twitter for undermining that ridiculous narrative helps cement my conclusion.
I added a bit of context which I should have put into the actual post, but I have hardly any followers or engagement so it's more funny than anything. I do wonder what is going on that suddenly it happened, but I'm guessing Twitter was given word of another COVID conspiracy theory and had to clamp down. It does make me wonder about what may come of Ardis and if we are likely to see mainstream articles coming out.
Dont take it personally....I just got banned from FB for 30 days just mentioning the Nazi Azov Battalion that's part of the Ukraine Army...apparently FB and social media are now advocates and appeasers of Nazi's and when you call it out then somehow you are the bad guy. Its a weir d world we are living in now.
Nothing personal taken. I made a comment to add that I hardly have any followers and engagement so I just find this to be more funny than anything. I've heard of that situation. It's kind of strange that things become offenses as soon as they gain traction. Apparently even today the hashtag #mepoo was removed from Twitter after it was gaining traction because of the Jonny Depp/ Amber Heard trial.
Twitter ban is a positive credential that you should hang on your wall as you would a diploma or professional license. I have not earned my Twit banoploma because I don’t post there, but use my banner to tell people I’m on Gab.
Well, I guess you just haven't hit the right buzzwords yet! I have considered Gab, but I'm concerned about entering any area where there may be a large dominance of any political party. From your experience what do you make of Gab? I have considered maybe something like Minds.
Minds is good. I'm on it, but not publishing at all. I'm an early adopter of Gab, and am very pleased with it, particularly since it is self hosted, and has been doggedly built, with banks and all conventional tech forces opposing it. Gab is meant to be here. You have to create your own environment there, since of course, free speech is REALLY free speech, and jerks are allowed to say whatever they want :-D.
Considering I've posted a lot about Molnupiravir- they were the posts that gained the most traction- I'm surprised that didn't get me hit. Maybe I was just unlucky with my cocktail of words this time around. Like I said, it's as if you can only deserve you committed an offense after the offense has been "committed".
So... you didn't even mention the word "covid" or "vaccine"? I don't get what words they're trolling for. The censorship is way beyond. A friend tried to PRIVATELY DM the site "howbadismybatch.info" (which is just a reduction of VAERS data) in FB Messenger to her fiance (and then for giggles, I tried it in IG messages), and it was blocked. !!! Private 1:1 messages!!
Nope which makes for an interesting experiment in "which trigger word was it". It seems like it would be a tall order but I wonder if the algorithm checks for links as well. That would be such a broad scope approach and I don't think Twitter would have the capabilities. Also, I'm not surprised that happened. Nearly all messages on social media are read and so I can see them skimming through anything that occurs on their platforms.
Do you know for a fact that they're all read by humans? I would think that's an impossible task. I obvi don't work there, but I do work in tech, and I've assumed it's AI that does it.
No my first assumption would be that it was algorithm-based. My argument was more that it would be very unlikely to create a bot that would be able to scan the actual contents of a link as that would open a lot of doors for issues. However, I also wouldn't be surprised if that is how they figured out that my post ran afoul of their sanctimonious morals.
This is a consequence of living in the delusion that we live in a free country, and that social media is free. I live in a fascist police state. How's bout you?
I definitely don't trust social media to provide anything on the verge of "freedom". The ability to have new avenues of communication and allow for differing opinions doesn't quite work if it allows for criticisms of mainstream narratives.
My account got locked, I guess, because I used the word "redneck" though it was self-deprecating. Who knew we were a protected class? Now I'm shadow banned, for what good that does them. I'm done, don't want to contribute to their clicks anymore. You probably got snagged by an algorithm.
Well you seem to got hit with the twofer of being both a protected class and making fun of a protected class! I definitely don't find the atmosphere on Twitter to be conducive to fruitful discussions.
You can't dismantle CIA material too early too effectively. That's a no-no. It needs to contaminate enough dissident heroes first.

Ok, that'd be the version if some level of competence was assumed on twitter's part. More likely, they're a bunch of morons and don't even get the frame this is in.
"someone says something about C19... let's check, is it on the allowed ways to talk about C19 list? No? Ah, clear violator then!"
I didn't even mention C19 so I'm wondering if it was Ardis or snake? It's honestly hilarious because at some point "it" will become a no-no word on Twitter.
Disallowed names is definitely a thing. There have been some unpersoned names for some years on youtube, and IIRC also Twitter or/and Facebook, were you got immediate repercussions even when writing a very similar name to "trick" the system.
Strange that you got kicked off a Twitter for that post, but you're probably right, it's because it mentioned Dr Ardis. Now you're huge 100 twitter following will be lost without you!!!
😅 I don't know! It's like a hundred baby birds leaving the nest, some of them will fly, some of them will crash on the ground below. But hopefully they will all find their way back to you on substack. 💜
There was something about treating a protein and having it turn white - so when you treat the spike protein (I think) and it turns white that means it's snake venom because that turns white too. When I heard his arguments, they all made sense to me - but to repeat everything I've watched, listened to and agreed with over the last two years would set my hair on fire - never mind I couldn't remember a quarter of it accurately. Check out his talk at this link:
I suppose I would argue that such a test would be seem very broad- it would depend on what was added to make it turn white. I would need to look into that but considering that both snake venom and the spike are proteins it wouldn't be much of an argument in favor or Ardis. It would need a more concrete test to come to a proper conclusion.
I am blocked on Twitter also, pending appeal. I am actually glad, because I became twitter addicted and it was interfering with my other twitter priorities.
In my case they flagged articles that point at relationship between COVID and AIDS.
Yep I got banned for about the 10th time last May or something. I'm pretty sure I could just go to the better business bureau and ask them to help me get back on, and then I could go and address the some of the more egregious claims on NZ twitter & elsewhere, but I have to balance that with the time-wasting that would then result. Outcome, I'm not in a hurry to get back on Twitter.

FB and the rest of the Big T are arms of the perma-bureaucracy. Narrative control is paramount.

I’m sure your mixed up too much of the alchemical formula of venom, Ardis and a *gasp* link to the evil Substack and the gods of the Algo got ya.

😅 I don't know! It's like a hundred baby birds leaving the nest, some of them will fly, some of them will crash on the ground below. But hopefully they will all find their way back to you on substack. 💜

There's also a written section below it, which might help.

I would need to look into that but considering that both snake venom and the spike are proteins it wouldn't be much of an argument in favor or Ardis. It would need a more concrete test to come to a proper conclusion.
In your "About" section: "principles" for "principals", and "worst" for "worse".
Oh jeez how did I miss that! Thanks I have a habit of typing too quickly and not quit editing what I should. Appreciate the comment!
No problem.
I am blocked on Twitter also, pending appeal. I am actually glad, because I became twitter addicted and it was interfering with my other twitter priorities.
