Tucker looks at what happened to Libs of TikTok, a popular twitter account that merely posted unedited video of liberals talking about themselves. Why would they have a problem with that?
“Last year, unbeknownst to pretty much nobody, a woman in Brooklyn started a twitter account that was comprised almost solely of videos of liberals talking about themselves. So, the concept was very simple: Find interesting tape that’d already been uploaded to the internet by the people who made it, and then repost that tape. The idea was to let activist types describe in their own words what they believe, unfiltered. The woman who created that account ‘Libs of TikTok’.”
“It turns out that as repellent as ‘academic lifestyle liberalism’ may seem to you as an observer, the reality of it, as described by people who actually believe this stuff is even worse than you’d ever imagine. It’s really beyond belief.”
“So, let’s say you’re paying $45,000/year to send your kids to some overrated mediocre private school in the District of Colombia, you think everything’s fine, you pull up Libs of TikTok and you find out what’s actually happening in your kids’ classroom. What’s wrong with that? This is journalism. No news organization in America has done more to reveal the reality within American schools than Libs of TikTok.”
“Maybe you’re okay with your kids being taught by emotionally incontinent nutcases like that, maybe you’re not, but you probably ought to know either way. So, you can see why Libs of TikTok quickly became so very popular. You didn’t have to wade through some long editorial to find out what was actually happening, you could see the raw video, and again, you could assess it for yourself. Millions of parents are grateful for that.”
“So, of course that Twitter feed had to be shut down. The Biden administration and its many servants in the news media set to work. The neo-liberal slander machine ‘Media Matters’ published four separate hit pieces on Libs of TikTok in just the past three weeks. It was ‘trafficking hate’ for allowing liberals to talk about themselves. It was ‘anti-gay’ as if the site was attacking anyone. It’s not attacking gays, it was just playing tape of people about themselves in their own words, video that they uploaded. Well, twitter could not stand this, they shut down the account entirely, twice.”
“Ultimately Jeff Bezos weighed in. Bezos’ personal newspaper, The Washington Post, decided to harass the family of the woman who operates Libs of TikTok. They couldn’t find her, so they went after her family. The Post sent what it calls its ‘tech columnist’ to show up outside the home of one of the woman’s relatives.”
“The Washington Post published a piece linking to the name, the physical address, and the real estate licensing information of the woman who runs Libs of TikTok. After the Post published the article, the woman behind Libs of TikTok went into hiding. That was, of course, the whole point of the exercise.”
“Where did she get this information? Who gave her the identity of the woman who runs Libs of TikTok? Well, actually, we don’t have to guess, because today’s Washington Post story answers that question. The Post piece tells us that information came from a man called Travis Brown. Travis Brown runs the ‘Travis Brown Hate Speech Tracker’ which uses a variety of proprietary methods to reveal personally identifying information of private citizens who stray from the approved storyline. Now, who pays for all this? Well, the Travis Brown Hate Speech Tracker is funded by something called The Prototype Fund.”
“Again, who’s paying for this? Well, a foreign government is paying for it. The Prototype Fund gets its money, not from private donors, but from the government of Germany, Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education, it says so right on the website. In other words, what happened to the woman who runs Libs of TikTok, her life being destroyed … it was a foreign intelligence operation designed to silence and intimidate an American citizen. Wait, is that legal? Did the Biden administration have any role in this particular intel op? Why is the German government trying to shut down an American twitter account posting about American teachers?”
