At 9:35 p.m. tonight, one of the apparatchiki at Twitter saw that I was working too hard, trying to build my follower base, and decided to throw a monkey wrench into my progress, with the following fake message:
Password change required

Twitter pulls this stunt so often that I had already forgotten my password weeks ago, such that when I was out of town recently and had to use hotel computers (which blocked access to WEJB/NSU, due to my notoriety), I couldn’t access my Twitter account.
At one point, I was permablocked at Twitter for 14-16 months. (I can’t recall the exact period, because Twitter and Facebook both permablocked me two months apart, in February and April 2017, respectively. I’m still blocked at Facebook, almost two years later.)
I’ve fought censorship for over 30 years. Back in the early 1990s, I even defended black supremacist Leonard Jeffries’ First Amendment rights.
Please hit the PayPal “donate” button at the top of the page, and make a generous contribution. I thank you, and your posterity will, too!
Sincerely,

P.S.: Later, I found the following email from 9:34 p.m., in my pc's inbox.

Correct. They just make it hard for you to use the account. They do not forbid you, just make it hard.

ReplyDeleteYou may have seen the headline about the lovely young blonde nurse found beaten and nearly frozen to death who later died in the hospital. If you read Fox that is, not sure if this has gotten coverage elsewhere. She was kicked and stomped around 40 times to the head and neck. I had that sneaking feeling when I first read about this, and yes it was the usual suspect:

Same thing happened to me (had to change password) last night, 1/29/19, when I was retweeting & "liking" too many posts calling out the Jussie Smollett story.
ReplyDeleteTwitter is just another arm of the DemSoc Party (aka Communism Lite)
