Nelson Mandela was right; "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." The only problem is that the voices of logic and reason are drowned out by propaganda. I am an educator. I have no agenda beyond educating the public. Unfortunately, twitter puts me in what it pejoratively called "twitter jail" whenever I send tweets that offend specific, special interests. This is essentially censorship, because, when those of us who have no agenda beyond truth are censored, the agenda of bigots on twitter is amplified and we are marginalized. That is simply evil and this is how it works. On December 31st, 2019, I posted the following tweet and it evidently disturbed the powerful interests that are seeking to make Joe Biden the next president of the United States -This is the message I posted; Since December 31st, this is what you see when you try to access my twitter account; It is January 3rd, my twitter account is still locked and in the past four days, my voice has been entirely silenced by twitter. Last year, it was locked approxiamately the same time and I languished in twitter prison until January 26. All the people I would have reached, then and now, were deprived of the opportunity to be shaken by the simple truth, and in my opinion, that explains the mess we are currently in. Too much propaganda, not enough truth. This is aggravating and inappropriate, and twitter always issues the same excuse. On Septemmber 4, 2019, I received their cookie-cutter response; "We're writing to let you know that your account is now unlocked. We're sorry for the inconvenience. A little background: We have systems that find and remove automated spam Twitter accounts, and it looks like yours was flagged as spam by mistake. This can happen if an account exhibits automated behavior in violation of our rules. We apologize for the mixup, and hope to see back on Twitter soon." Unless my account is never unlocked, I will receive a similar response, and there is absolutely no indication how long I will be in twitter jail; It could be another day, week, month...whatever "they" deem to be appropriate, and that is disturbing. Propaganda (censorship) makes it impossible to attempt to drown out the noise with the simple facts that are routinely ignored, and that is disgusting. Don't drown us out, we are not going anywhere.
