Readers know I love history, including the recent variety. And this tweet was the perfect reason to re-run this article here for Hayride:

Since X, formerly Twitter, is now worth an estimated $19 billion, less than half of what Elon Musk purchased it for, it is time we recognize him for the opportunity he has given the American people to grow more aware of the nefarious truths that had gone undetected for decades.
When the Ukraine-Russia conflict broke out in February 2022, there was one crucial difference that has since changed and overhauled the electronic battlefield in this information war. One difference that has given citizen digital soldiers the platform and the confidence to accelerate the truth-telling movement.
Elon Musk. He is the difference.

Trump & Musk: A Dance That Goes Way Back
Musk had not yet acquired Twitter just yet in February 2022, beginning the purchase in April and concluding it in October–just a year ago this past Friday. But in that one short year, the game has changed in American patriots’ favor because of something so simple–the capacity and the respect to disseminate information what might once have been thought to be the dreaded “conspiracy theory.”
The Mockingbird media propaganda was at its peak twenty months ago, pushing well-meaning Americans to “Stand with Ukraine,” a country as corrupt and vile as any on the globe. There is a reason Deep State players like George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama were and are fighting for Ukraine. The globalist maniacs have their tentacles twisted deep inside there.

There have been truth-tellers researching and trying their hardest to spread truth for a long time now. Perhaps the first wrecking ball friend to come our way this century was Donald Trump, who drew attention to the corruption of the swamp in a way that the gentler Ron Paul never did. People who wanted and still want Trump to just be nice do not remember that we have had bystander heroes attempt to wake us up in the past, and we simply haven’t been jolted from our slumber enough to listen.
It would take something primal, not superficial, in 2015 to build the resistance among the people that Trump built. He played on Americans’ primal anger and frustration with media and government in a way that no one had before, in a way that would actually impact an election, in a way that would create a movement that would last.
That is why the government-media apparatus, along with its Hollywood wingmen, hates him and spews the same attacks against him despite any lack of evidence.
Elon Musk has followed Trump as a recognizable soldier in this war of narratives. He is the type of voice we need, a credible one because of America’s conditioned worship of celebrity. It is a sad reality that it has taken two celebrities to reverse-infiltrate the system that was infested with vipers so long ago. It has taken two real-life caricatures a largely shallow American culture could recognize and identify with in order to get us to trust the truth.
William Cooper had been shouting from the rooftops for years. Ron Paul was also trying to wake up the masses. There were others, for sure. But the simple fact of the matter is that they didn’t have the pizazz. They didn’t have the wow-effect.
They were simply too pedestrian to truly inspire a movement. And that is hardly their fault.
Of course, as any impactful societal hero has to experience, Musk is not immune to censure. Many Americans, perfectly within their rights, continue to express concern about his history, his Neuralink project, and just the general idea that he is rich and may not have our best interest in mind.
That is another side to celebrity, a paradox, if you will. People trust you, but they also don’t trust you.
To that, I would say that I understand. I would even go as far as to say that maybe there are skeletons in his closet that need to be monitored. But one simple fact of this entire war is that Musk has helped to dismantle the Deep State’s hold on information transfer and the mind control of the masses–particularly the average American who doesn’t have time to research like “anons” do. He has disrupted both Mockingbird media and social media as a social engineering tool and allowed voices of dissent to flow more freely. Apparently some truth-tellers’ accounts have still not been restored, and frankly, I have no response to that. It makes me wonder why too. But I do know that Musk has used the popularity of Twitter/X and his own personal popularity to force eyes onto important topics. The optics of truth and un-truth have been changed entirely. Here is a piece from an article I wrote in the spring of 2022, “Elon Musk Is Helping Us See the Darkness Others Would Have Us Forget” that is as true now as it was then:
He bought Twitter for this reason. He bought Twitter to help us see. To help us remember. To help us Americans remember that there is a war still to win. Yes, the mainstream media continues to present to the American public what it wants and how it wants it in order to push a certain narrative. They do it to distract, to manipulate, to mind control. This is nothing new. For years they have squashed the most important of stories that would put their own bad actors in an even worse light. The Hunter Bidens and Harvey Weinsteins and Ghislaine Maxwells know this well. Evil has escaped for decades in this country. And now that there is a voice hinting at buried truths, trying to wake the everyday American up to some of these malicious players and practices, it is the Mehdi Hasans and NBCs of the world that want to virtue signal and discredit a “petulant” and “not-so-smart billionaire” shedding light in what dark alleys they hide. The simple fact of the matter is that it won’t work anymore. Cable news numbers have been tanking for a long time and Americans are waking up by the millions. Too many people know at least enough of the truth now and will not be fooled again. An old saying goes, “Show me a man’s enemy and I’ll show you the man.” This applies to Donald Trump and it apparently applies to Elon Musk, because the more and more the Deep State actors come out against him, the more we should be willing to pay attention to what he is saying….
Whether it be the Twitter Files or his spotlighting of the not-really-a-vaccine vaccine or his uncovering of election interference, Elon Musk has not used, but unleashed, a widely popular social media platform already in the American consciousness in order to red-pill the masses on the corruption and chaos killing America from within. We should leave the ad hominem attacks behind for just a moment and celebrate this wrecking ball in the war for America’s soul simply for the asset it is. If some of his other dealings may (or may not) spell trouble in the future, let us deal with them on their own accord when they come, not as disconnected reasons for casting the positives out entirely.

May everyone named directly or referenced indirectly ask forgiveness and do penance for their sins against America and God. I fight this information war in the spirit of justice and love for the innocent, but I have been reminded of the need for mercy and prayers for our enemies. I am a sinner in need of redemption as well after all, for my sins are many. In the words of Jesus Christ himself, Lord forgive us all, for we know not what we do.
