Just come off a week ban myself for posting Walter M Chesnuts findings (he was booted off twitter instantaneously, no ban or warning. AI at work. Dark dark times are ahead
You mentioned HCQ. That goes against little Lord FrankenFauci’s rules for the peasants.
Looks like an algorithm caught you since you tweeted it today and got suspended today.
I just came off my 7day suspension. It’ll be my last, next time I’ll be gone forever. And at this point I have no phucks left to give. I’ve had my account since 2012, Twitter used to be fun back then. They’ll eventually cancel anyones account who speaks the truth. What a sad place that’ll be.
Military intelligence thinks they're going to run the country for 40 years, in an "Augustan age". Their model is literally Augustus, who ruled as a dictator but kept the dog and pony show going. Augustus lead to a series of tyrants and fools who took us into the Dark Ages.

FWIW IMHO based on my past experiences on Twitter in this case it's keyword based anything HCQ (and some mispelling / permutation) or spelled out gets insta-flagged. It's the only time I was put in Twitter suspension in 12+ years I was on twitter. HCQ is also a high entropy character sequence, no subset of any word in English AFAIK, so highly specific hence a v good candidate for simple keyword ban (it's time and context dependent too: w low to medium confidence started Q4 2021; w medium to high confidence: the keyword is a necessary but not sufficient condition, another keyword w/i same tweet trigger the auto-ban by algorithm)
Hahaha I was banned for life yesterday too . Our State premier has paid a company to collect data on the citizens of Victoria (Aus ) he monitors social media, spending & movement with mandatory QR codes ( which have now been stopped) Many of his supporters were fine with it, but our hospitals & ambulance is in crisis with people dying while waiting for a bed or an ambulance. I had a go at one of his supporters & she must have reported me & I got done. It’s amazing to see how the left are now into being controlled by Gov & Twitter should be coming out & saying they are are a left wing political tool as it’s clear that is their purpose. Now I’ll just have to look at your sub stack page to try & keep up on any developments .
Stayed away from it until curiosity got the best of me after Elon started his antics. I would have to say despite shenanigans like this there are actually a lot of interesting communications lurking around that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise — Jikkyleaks mouse army bunch, Rixey’s posts, MakingWaves cross translations between English and Japanese (am surprised what one can apparently get away with saying if not in English — implies an English speaking gov’t connection?). The “supplementary” material people like you or TES or Igor… send out there. Dr McCullough’s article posts… I think its important to keep outputting to that once your detention sentence is over. Are you appealing? Would be interesting to see if you could phrase it that you’re combatting misinformation in some twisted way to at least baffle and confuse.
Will miss your tweets — noticed you’re not alone — there seems to be a waxing and waning of different threads I started following only in this last month
Are the algorithms smart enough to do OCR on screenshots? Wonder if a quick screenshot is a way to sling some messages out there?
I always wonder who is coordinating the suppression. A Five Eyes working group would seem most logical.
Ironically, the censorship has made allies of the totalitarianism in the military and the least health-looking blue-pink hairs who want to wear Rainbow Jammies to a masked up work place and marry a chair. What a world.
Puzzling. A new algorithm to keep the peasants from communicating? Anything is possible. Appeal. I always do but it doesn’t make a difference. I get the standard, “our team has determined you violated the terms.” Who is this team? A bunch of purple haired Marxists? Pffftt Could matter in the future when Twitter is sued. There has to be a class action on Twitter.
I was part of a class action on a company I worked for, it happened 10yrs after I left. 10yrs from now that might mean some money in your pocket for all your troubles today.
I made a Twitter account years ago to be able to click the like button. it sat idle, got hacked and username changed, got locked by Twitter for two years with no responses to my complaints after I logged in/fixed username/removed fake avatar/changed password, was eventually unlocked last year.
I posted a few things to test the supposed reduced censorship after musk threatened to buy the platform... links to children's health defense for example didn't post initially but did a few days after his offer was approved.
I got tired of being a pseudo-active Twit pretty quick and set the account for deletion.
it's too heavily censored and WAY too full of paid and/or moronic/assimilated trolls spouting propaganda at greater volume than a Notre Dame cathedral gargoyle spews rainwater during a downpour.
I’ve just been permanently suspended...without a warning/explanation as to what led to the ban. (@AZgirl_528i) I have zero confidence they will respond to an appeal or even read it. Twitter seems broken beyond repair.
I’ve long pondered if the censorship is algorithm driven, personnel driven, govt insider driven, bot complaint driven. I know very little about algorithms but based on 1) the high profile banning, 2) the Twitter PV undercover reporting, and 3) both Twitter Mgmt and the Government’s reaction to the Musk purchase, I’m inclined to think the banning is directive driven.
In the undercover reporting, the Twitter employees take a cult-like pleasure in the bans. This leaves me with little doubt algorithms are an excuse, there is a significant individual and personal component to the censorship.
With regard to government input/direction on bans, the other minor players in social media (Rumble, Gettr, Gab, Telegram) would be reporting government requests/directives for censorship if they were happening. So I’m inclined to think the govt censorship is also personnel (not policy) related. Given the cozy relationship that tech has with govt (and that cult-like quality of wokesters) it’s inevitable that any bureaucrat would feel comfortable calling anyone at Twitter to draw attention to an account and the like-minded Twitter wokesters would be glad to help.
Given Matthew’s longevity on Twitter, seems most likely someone in DOD called someone at Twitter draw attention/request action on your account. Doesn’t have to be a big player at DOD - could be anyone.
On a personal note, would prefer to find your interviews on Rumble (versus Youtube). There is posterity to consider (short term and long term).
This is only going to get worse, it needs to be accepted sooner rather than later.

I was permanently banned even though I had only a few hundred followers. I doubt there is a method to this madness.
Twitter did the same to me last night for no apparent reason. They must have been targeting our group.
Just in case you missed it, Sherri Tenpenny was supended from Truth Social. There’s a alot of “controlled opposition.”

Meet Augustus, Matthew.

Haven't been fact Checked once since I started only posting from substack...
Previously posting other people's work I had Dozens of suspensions between Facebook and Twitter...
Either 3 or 4 Twitter profiles permanently suspended... Too many too count..
12+ year old personal Facebook account removed/deleted
Zero issues on any platform since end of January when I fired up ragnarforseti.substack.com
It's 'All in the Name"
twitter is not important
