Twitter now banning James O’Keefe

twitter-blocks-james-okeefeThe Left cannot tolerate dissent or opposition.  There can be no debate – only silencings. They say they want tolerance – and then show up with a flamethrower.

So, right after Google / YouTube decided to block Prager U’s videos (H/T: Steve), we now have friend of the ‘Grok James O’Keefe letting us know that Twitter has blocked this Conservative (and flamboyant Progressive baiter) James O’Keefe and Project Veritas (and remember, law Professor Glenn Reynolds was blocked on Twitter for commenting negatively for telling drivers what to do with their cars when Black Live Matters thugs attacked them and their cars).  From the email he sent out yesterday:

About an hour ago, the Twitter Corporation decided to silence me and suspended my account.

No notice, no warning, I just received a terse message that I had “violated” their rules.

This is devastating to our operation.

Just like the big two presidential candidates, I rely on social media to bypass the media and directly reach the public.

And it just so happens that in the last 36 hours, an extra 30,000 people decided that they wanted to hear from me.

Just as I mentioned in my email earlier today, our last videos regarding voter fraud in NYC and abuse and corruption within the Hillary Clinton campaign have received UNPRECEDENTED attention on Twitter.

In the past 24 hours, our recently released videos have had millions of impressions on Twitter. I have received thousands of new followers, and people can’t stop talking about our content.

And now, we’re blocked!

What did we do? We were effective, that’s all.

It also doesn’t help that Twitter’s CEO, Jack Dorsey, was recently a guest of the Clinton Foundation, appearing on stage with Chelsea Clinton.

But none of that matters at the moment as I’m hours away from the next release.

And it goes on.  Now I just wrote about a flashback of Amy Conveno from WMUR constructing a perfect example of an old MSM lynch mob back in 2011 against Herman Cain. Now we see the Leftist / Progressive tech organizations that are part of the New Media doing the same thing – taking out Conservative messages.  No, it is not a First Amendment deal as these are private companies (one GREAT reason why we have our own server and not beholden to them) – unless government is “asking for a favor” (sorta like Yahoo filtering its customers’ emails for the Feds).

Conspiracy?  Normally I would say “Naw” but given the leakage of John Podesta’s emails and seeing not just how the political sausage goes but from inside the casing, I’m not convinced.  Is it formal like the old JournoList?  Or just the groupthink that is constitutionally infused into the Progressive hive mind?

What’s the solution?  I’m not sure.  One could say that we should all decamp to any and all Conservative platforms so that this wouldn’t be a threat – there is some merit to it of never having to worry if your hard worked content gets blocked or disappears.  But the caveat is that you would no longer reach those in the middle or center-right folks that MIGHT be reached.

Certainly a double-edged sword.

UPDATE: a good observation on the MSM and Party hacks from Instapundit:

The entire apparat is jettisoning even the pretense of standards to drag Hillary across the finish line. But as President Obama said, don’t think we aren’t keeping score, bro.
