Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey has become an interesting figure since Elon Musk bought the company. Sometimes, he sounds like the average ultra-woke tech wannabe-millennial pandering for attention through virtue signaling and gaslighting. Other times, he almost sounds like a patriot. It’s rare, but it happens.
Tuesday night, he had an anti-Deep State moment:
Splinter the CIA, NSA, and FBI into a thousand pieces and scatter them into the winds.

I see nothing wrong with this sentiment.
But as many replies to his comment noted, this seems to be a wide departure from his previous stances of essentially propping up government, endorsing censorship, and embracing the Deep State.
says the guy who was in charge when the alphabet organizations were using @twitter to do all sorts of dastardly deeds. Tell us the one again about how you had nothing to do with censoring all info about Hunter Biden's laptop. Cmon!

Where were you and where was this attitude years ago?

Your words today don't match your actions when you were at Twitter, so which one is real? No one really knows, although it generally makes sense to pay more attention to what people do, rather than what people say.

Maybe you shouldn’t of brought all those people into Twitter to control us?
You are a fraud.

Was this before or after you let them censor and brainwashed hundreds of millions of people on your platform?

Whatever prompted his change-of-heart, it’s irrelevant. He had his chance to take on the Deep State when he ran Twitter. Instead, he embraced them and offered its members jobs. Those who think Dorsey is being “based” are being misled.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
