The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/twitter-files-part-5-employees-call-donald-trump-hitler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter Files<\/a>, an ongoing series revealing how Twitter operated on CEO Jack Dorsey\u2019s watch, may have been downplayed by the corrupt press.<\/p>\n<p>Clear-thinking souls understood what it meant.<\/p>\n<p>One of the largest communication platforms on the planet worked aggressively to censor views it found \u2026 inconvenient.\u00a0The list of said views is too exhaustive to include here, but the banning of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal during the heat of a presidential campaign is all you need to know.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a shame Musk can\u2019t buy other tech platforms, too. That might go a long way to bringing some sanity, and free expression, back to the culture.<\/p>\n<p>Just ask the team behind \u201cPrivate American.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The graphic novel features a Cuban-American ex-Green Beret doing what the U.S. government won\u2019t. He secures the U.S. border from drug traffickers and other dangers to society. It\u2019s a vigilante yarn with a ripped-from-the-headlines appeal.<\/p>\n<p>The genre goes back decades, including \u201cDeath Wish,\u201d \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/dirty-harry-black-lives-matter\/\">Dirty Harry<\/a>\u201d and, more recently, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/peppermint-review\/\">Peppermint<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration won\u2019t secure the U.S. border, even if its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11543649\/White-House-blames-Trump-Republicans-chaos-border.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gaslighting spokesperson<\/a> blames Republicans for the problem. Enter artists who see a creative opportunity, one brimming with social significance.<\/p>\n<p>That stance makes \u201cPrivate American\u201d problematic in the eyes of the censorious Left, and they are doing all they can to snuff it out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/late-night-big-tech-censors-trump\/\"><strong>RELATED: LATE NIGHT HOWLS AS BIG TECH CENSORS TRUMP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like many projects that don\u2019t adhere to the Left\u2019s worldview (\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/gosnell-movie-review\/\">Gosnell<\/a>,\u201d \u201cThe Chosen,\u201d \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/my-son-hunter-review-laurence-fox\/\">My Son Hunter<\/a>,\u201d \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/youtube-stars-content-woke-rippaverse-shad\/\">Isom<\/a>\u201c), \u201cPrivate American\u201d turned to the American public to support it. The graphic novel\u2019s team set up a crowdfunding campaign at IndieGogo to raise funds for the book\u2019s completion.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s when the trouble began.<\/p>\n<p>The pre-Musk Twitter\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/twitter-fine-pfizer-propaganda-comic-books-about-us-border-crisis-are-not-allowed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">permanently banned the title\u2019s account<\/a> without justification.\u00a0Then, IndieGogo.com<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/indiegogo-shadow-banning-private-american\/\"> shadow-banned its campaign<\/a>, making it all but impossible to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/the-private-american\/#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">find its page<\/a> without a direct link.<\/p>\n<p>The creative team opened a second crowdfunding campaign at Kickstarter.com to raise funds for the project. Enter the cartoonishly far-Left Daily Kos. The site ran a hit piece on \u201cPrivate American,\u201d making up lies about the story in question (which isn\u2019t available to the public yet) to smear it as racist without evidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Punisher\u2019 Creator Releases Another Racist AF Comic Book,\u201d blared the headline (Editor\u2019s Note: We will not link to the original piece). \u201cPrivate American\u201d author Mike Baron wrote for Marvel\u2019s \u201cPunisher\u201d title but didn\u2019t create the character, nor did the article prove Baron penned a previous \u201cracist\u201d tome.<\/p>\n<p>Within days Kickstarter.com officially banned the project\u2019s crowdfunding page. The reason? The content goes against its policies, without citing specifics.<\/p>\n<p>Sound frightening? Of course. It\u2019s only a fraction of the culture war battles raging across America.\u00a0The Left wants to crush free speech, and it\u2019s got an impressive head start.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/big-tech-censorship-conservative-comedy\/\">Comedians who tell \u201cinconvenient\u201d jokes<\/a> find their work punished by Big Tech giants. Twitter alternatives like Parler felt the full force of the woke Left when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/09\/technology\/apple-google-parler.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon, Apple and Google banned their apps<\/a> from their respective stores under the flimsiest of rationales.<\/p>\n<p>Even when conservatives find innovative ways to share their views they\u2019re met with hostility and censorship. Pro-life films struggle against this, too, witness the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/unplanned-culture-war\/\">obstacles facing \u201cUnplanned\u201d<\/a> before its 2019 release.<\/p>\n<p>And the press looks the other way, unable to rally for free expression if it leans in any way, shape or form to the Right.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/joe-rogan-rolling-stone-government-censorship\/\"><strong>RELATED: JOE ROGAN SCHOOLS ROLLING STONE FOUNDER ON CENSORSHIP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>No mainstream comic book publisher would touch \u201cPrivate American.\u201d Its pro-border control message is a non-starter. Yet when Baron\u2019s team tried to fund the project independently other platforms did all they could to stop it.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, comic book giants won\u2019t say a word about this situation. Hollywood will stay silent, as it does with other free speech matters. The ACLU won\u2019t address the matter, either, even though it speaks to the heart of its mission.<\/p>\n<p>Musk, for all his flaws, has shown the chaos, and corruption, at mega platforms like Twitter. He also inadvertently revealed something else.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just the tip of the censorial iceberg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk\u2019s Twitter takeover did more than restore unfairly banned accounts to the platform.
