Elon calls for investigation of far-Left scumcrumpets trying to "control your access to information"



How do you alienate the world's richest man and push him to the conservative right? 

You try to pressure his potential advertisers to boycott his platform, in this case it's Elon Musk and Twitter, and hope to put him out of the business of allowing for free and open speech on that platform. Now Musk is calling for an investigation into these groups if he refuses to back off on Twitter's content moderation policies that would allow conservatives and everyone else, the ability to say what they will. 

Of course, this doesn't mean that Constitutional laws can be broken. You can't threaten people or get others to commit harm to others. But Musk wants to allow free speech, which may be things you don't want to hear, things you may hate hearing, and that's protected under the First Amendment. 

The Left hates that concept.

“Some of the nation’s biggest brands including Coca-Cola (CCEP), Disney (DIS) and Kraft (KHC) are facing calls to boycott Twitter if the company’s soon-to-be owner, billionaire Elon Musk, rolls back content moderation policies limiting hate speech and election misinformation,” the Compromised News Network reported.

 “In a letter sent to brands Tuesday ahead of the 2022 NewFronts digital advertising conference, more than two dozen civil society groups said marketers should secure commitments from Twitter to retain its most critical policies, including on civic integrity and hateful conduct, and threaten to withdraw funding if Twitter does not comply.”

This is mafia-style and fascistic strong-arming, a technique the Left knows all too well and disguises it in groups with names that have the opposite meanings of who they really are. Antifa is the first to come to mind. They are fascists claiming to be anti fascists. Black Lives Matter is another group that pretends that black lives matter to them except when it comes to the black lives being ended on a daily basis in Democratic-run big cities.

Some of the far-Left groups that signed onto the letter include Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, GLAAD, Media Matters For America, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and the Women’s March. 

Does the name George Soros come to mind?

The letter stated in-part:
As top advertisers on Twitter, your brand risks association with a platform amplifying hate, extremism, health misinformation, and conspiracy theorists. Under Musk’s management, Twitter risks becoming a cesspool of misinformation, with your brand attached, polluting our information ecosystem in a time where trust in institutions and news media is already at an all-time low. Your ad dollars can either fund Musk’s vanity project or hold him to account. We call on you to demand Musk uphold these basic standards of community trust and safety, and to pull your advertising spending from Twitter if they are not.
Musk tweeted in response: 
“Who funds these organizations that want to control your access to information? Let’s investigate . . . Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”
The Left is going crazy over the Musk acquisition of Twitter last week because now there is at least one tech giant, out the many that are controlled by left-leaning billionaires, who will give an open platform for both sides of the aisle. 

“Attacks are coming thick and fast, primarily from the left, which is no surprise, however I should be clear that the right will probably be a little unhappy too,” Musk said last week in reference to the response he received after his purchase had gone through.  “My goal is to maximize area under the curve of total human happiness, which means the ~80% of people in the middle.”

Musk added in another tweet, “For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally.”

Now all we need to know where he stands of Roe v. Wade.

Woke Coke stokes anger in folks


Coca-Cola apparently is getting their collective heads out of their nether regions as their reputation has basically been destroyed by their wokeness and their market share has plummeted.

The flavored gassy sugar water company got out over their proverbial skis when they became politically correct and tried their hand at a diversity plan that went so far as to penalize outside law firms if they failed to meet racial hiring quotas that placed a premium on melanin over merit. The company faced intense pushback from the public.

The putting to bed of wokeness came after Coke's former general counsel, Bradley Gayton resigned without warning last month after having less than a year to screw up the company's profits due to mounting criticism and people refusing to buy the diabetes-inducing bubbly.

Gayton was one of the wokesters for Coca-Cola's virtue signaling policies.

In January, Gayton made headlines when he revealed his plans to try forcing outside law firms to hire people of color, non-traditional sexual preferences and novel genders, and consider their merit secondary.

Under the plan, any law firm seeking to do business with the company was required to commit that at least 30 percent of billed time would be from “diverse attorneys,” and at least half of that time would be from Black attorneys.

“The hard truth is that our profession is not treating the issue of diversity and inclusion as a business imperative,” Gayton wrote in January, unveiling the plan. “We have a crisis on our hands and we need to commit ourselves to specific actions that will accelerate the diversity of the legal profession.”

The hard truth is that the law doesn't care a fig about the color of the attorney making a legal argument. It's the merit of the argument, therefore the ability of the lawyer, not his or her skin color, etc.

Gayton’s sudden resignation last month has thrown a monkey wrench into the plan, with outsiders criticizing it and urging Coca-Cola to walk it back.

In February, Coca-Cola went on a “Be Less White” campaign that included a diversity training seminar on LinkedIn as a requirement for all its employees. When it came under fire, Coca-Cola lied and said that it wasn’t required.

The seminar was created by race hustler Robin DiAngelo of White Fragility fame, who scores several grand on each anti-White performance she gives at her racist-fests.
The soda company landed in hot water in February after leaked documents from an internal diversity and inclusion training session asked workers to "be less white." Coca-Cola did not respond to the Free Beacon’s request for comment in time for publication.https://t.co/nAxfdUgqho

From coca-cola be less white seminar – sure it doesn't affect you so you not bothered, but racism is racism, regardless of who the target is. I'm sure if coca-cola had a be "less black" seminar you would be up in arms:pic.twitter.com/96VdjGB7mG

Coca-Cola is Georgia-based. They voiced their opposition to the new Georgia voting law that gives voters even more opportunity to vote but the Democrats lied and called the law racist because they are trying to turn the state blue.

Despite Gayton's departure from Coke as general counsel, he still has a relationship with the company and you can count on the woke agenda to quietly return. If it does, there's always RC Cola and Pepsi.

Newsbusters and other outlets are referencing a survey by Rasmussen Reports showing that people really don’t care what a corporation thinks about voting laws or racial diversity. They just want you to make a quality product that they can enjoy. If anything, wokeness turns people off more than it turns them on.

UK Coke could kill kids if not stopped by food nazis

United Kingdom -- Public health hall monitors and self-proclaimed "experts" are calling for Coca-Cola to be stopped from running a Christmas-themed giveaway tour in festive trucks.

These "experts" have claimed that the popular soft drink contributes to childhood obesity and the company should desist immediately. 

They have yet to weigh in on alcoholic beverages and are not protesting against pubs that serve beer and spirits. Nor have they protested against spirits companies, but this may come soon.

Two public Health Food Nazis, writing in the British Medical Journal attacked Coca-Cola for trying to "hijack" Christmas by driving around English towns and giving out free 150ml cans of Coke. 

When asked for comment about how some Islamic extremists are also trying to "hijack" Christmas, they refused to discuss the matter.

The Coca-Cola promotion ties in with an annual TV advertising campaign "holidays are coming," an unofficial kickoff to the start of Christmas.

But the journal authors Robin Ireland and John R. Ashton said that the health risks outweigh any fun the drinks may bring. The party-poopers called on the government to ban the tour.

The Coca-Cola Company hit back, saying that customers loved the giveaway and that it had age limits on participation.

Perhaps it's time we get rid of  the Nanny State and allow people to make their own life choices. They're going to do it anyway, whether it be smoking, doing drugs, eating bacon, and having a Coke.
