OPINION:
JERUSALEM — Elon Musk, in a tweet, wrote: “New Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science.”
Finally.
Real science — not the Anthony Fauci brand, but real, actual, genuine science — is making a comeback.
The globalists won’t have such an easy time shutting down societies next time a virus rolls through, will they? And doubtless, that’s why they’re fretting about Musk’s message — about what should otherwise be a rather bland, common-sense, non-news bit of messaging. Science is supposed to be about question-and-answer lively debate, right? They even have a name for it; it’s called the scientific method. Only under the coronavirus did asking questions about medical matters become labeled as inappropriate speech, dangerous speech, deadly speech. Only in the last few years, due to the coronavirus, were the globalists able to generate enough fear to justify the seizure of all kinds of liberties — from the right to work to the right to freely assemble for worship to the right to freely speak and express viewpoints. Thanks to Musk, and his purchase of Twitter, and his clampdown on censors at Twitter, the left’s reign of tyranny is coming to an end.
Science is making a comeback.
“Anyone who says that questioning them is questioning science itself cannot be regarded as a scientist,” Musk also tweeted in apparent reference to Fauci — the guy who proclaimed himself as “science” during the height of coronavirus frenzy and who chastised anyone who questioned his dictates as anti-science and dangers to society.
Fauci, it seemed, was helped in his rise to Supreme Dictator of the World by a quiet, elite circle at Twitter.
“Elon Musk Reveals Twitter Staff Had a “Fauci Fan Club,’” The Epoch Times reported.
That explains a lot.
But the reins of control the left has been cracking these past couple years seem to be loosening. With Musk’s opening of Twitter to the free exchange of ideas, the fear that comes from ignorance will soon enough subside. Soon enough, it won’t be so easy for the left to sell fear of COVID, fear of climate change, fear of the unvaccinated without pushback from reason, rationale, and truth.
The LGBTQ crowd won’t be so able to shut down sanity and press forth their lunacy.
“Mentally ill men claiming to be women are inserting frozen tomato paste into themselves to ‘mimic a period.’ I am so sick of pretending like these people are normal,” tweeted Ashley St. Clair.
Thanks to Musk’s new science policy — perhaps people won’t have to for much longer.
Science is making a comeback.
A new enlightenment period has begun.
