It will be a raging pandemic for at least six more months. I would explain why, but I’m not giving away free info any more. National politicians know who I am & continue to steal my arguments. Moreover, Twitter censors me bc I want expose corrupt Republicans. Til I have a (1)

@OliviaMesser sufficient follower base & can get the exposure & recognition I deserve I’m dumbing down my arguments. Difference with me is I don’t use the same recycled, bland arguments as is often the case with many people who don’t deserve the media attention they get. My arguments are (2)
@OliviaMesser Powerful, hard-hitting & on-point. Go back & read my Tweets over the last 3-4 mos. & you will see. Tho, I have much more proof of this than my tweets & will release this at the appropriate moment in time. With me pulling back. You will Democrats are going to get shredded by (3)
@OliviaMesser the Republicans in the next few weeks w/o me to prop them up. You steal & don’t give back. Then, that’s what will happen. Nothing is free in this world. The Democrats have things they need to learn about how to deal w/ the Republicans. Moreover, Twitter let Trump & Co. spread (4)
@OliviaMesser false, dangerous, blatantly-evil lies that divided the country the last 4 years. Now, I want to hit these Republicans back after 4 years & all of the sudden Twitter is worried about furthering to divide the country. Well, you should of thought about that 4 years ago. Now it’s (5)
@OliviaMesser too late. The damage is done. Bringing the country together & not furthering to divide is critically important. That’s a fact! Tho, it is a lot more than that. Which is the part that the leaders of our country do not understand. I have plans that are unheard of by anyone that (6)
@OliviaMesser are logical, deep, & exponentially compounding that will move the entire world towards peace, harmony, & prosperity. To hold me back is a tremendous disservice to our country & the American people. The problem w/ our leaders is their thirst for power, their big egos, & their (6)
@OliviaMesser fear of being overshadowed is blatantly ridiculous & just flat-out terrible. I never wanted to be a leader & never needed the ego boost. I just realized some years ago that I can do it better than the people that are currently in power. Sincerely, get over yourselves & get me (7)
@OliviaMesser on the team. I don’t think I know everything nor do I believe that I will not make mistakes. I just can admit when I do, apologize & address how things will change to avoid this in the future. There is much more to but I realized. Here I am starting to give away too much again.(8
@OliviaMesser I love this country, it’s history & have always been enamored by what this nation stood for since I was a little kid. This is why I gave so much indiscriminately the last 3-4 mos. to keep us from falling off an un-repairable cliff. The thing is that I have so much more to offer(9
@OliviaMesser and can only make the cases for these changes when I have National attention. So, now we are ok for the moment. I need to pull back, as hard as that will be & let some people see how much they will suffer w/o my contributions & why I should be on the team. Make no mistake, (10)
@OliviaMesser Joe being in office is not going to get us out of the woods yet. We have so much more havoc that will be coming our way here in the near to not-so-distant future that will seem unimaginable as it happens. During normal times you can have a leader that did everything right. (11)
@OliviaMesser got that fancy college degree. Then was mayor, followed by state rep, continued on to national Congress, followed by President. During normal times. These people are fine & can be good leaders. During tough times. That calls for a leader that is born to lead & not developed. (12)
@OliviaMesser History has shown repeatedly. These leaders come from out of the woodwork from nowhere. We’re likely not a person that anyone expected to be a leader one day & usually come from the fringes of society. That is me in a nutshell. For years, I have tried to warn people about (13)
@OliviaMesser what was coming in the 2020’s. No one cared so I realized I would need to wait to make my move til the time came. There are just deep forces that are national leaders are not equipped to handle. One example, is we will see another 400k Covid deaths this year. I would explain (14)
@OliviaMesser why but at this moment it just will not hit enough ears & eyes to make a difference. This is why I need a national platform. This can only be done by the people. I graciously ask the people to spread my name & get my followers/interviews & anything that can spread my voice far(15
@OliviaMesser & wide. One other thing, some of my biggest contributions happened to phone calls to national leaders. So much more I can say in this regard but I will not embarrass anyone. (16)
@OliviaMesser There is so, so much more I would like to say right now but will have to save it for now. I’m not perfect nor do I think I have all the answers. Which I one reason I like to put the smartest, most capable people on my team. Moreover, I like dissenting opinions on my team so I (17
@OliviaMesser can hear something I didn’t think of & can factor into my decisions. Last, I just know that my views, intelligence, & opinions can be valuable to rebuilding America back to great country we are meant to be. I want to take this time & use it to our advantage & bring us into a (18)
@OliviaMesser new era. An era that is better than any previous great eras in our history. Let’s move America into a Golden Era & reach our full potential that our founders envisioned & hoped for. I’m ready, are you ready? Thank you very much for your considerations & taking the time to (19)

The common understanding of propaganda is that it is intended to brainwash the masses. Supposedly, people get exposed to the same message repeatedly and over time come to believe in whatever nonsense authoritarians want them to believe /1

And yet authoritarians often broadcast silly, unpersuasive propaganda.

Political scientist Haifeng Huang writes that the purpose of propaganda is not to brainwash people, but to instill fear in them /2


When people are bombarded with propaganda everywhere they look, they are reminded of the strength of the regime.

The vast amount of resources authoritarians spend to display their message in every corner of the public square is a costly demonstration of their power /3

In fact, the overt silliness of authoritarian propaganda is part of the point. Propaganda is designed to be silly so that people can instantly recognize it when they see it


Propaganda is intended to instill fear in people, not brainwash them.

The message is: You might not believe in pro-regime values or attitudes. But we will make sure you are too frightened to do anything about it.
I’ve asked Byers to clarify, but as I read this tweet, it seems that Bret Stephens included an unredacted use of the n-word in his column this week to make a point, and the column got spiked—maybe as a result?


Four times. The column used the n-word (in the context of a quote) four times. https://t.co/14vPhQZktB


For context: In 2019, a Times reporter was reprimanded for several incidents of racial insensitivity on a trip with high school students, including one in which he used the n-word in a discussion of racial slurs.

That incident became public late last month, and late last week, after 150 Times employees complained about how it had been handled, the reporter in question resigned.

In the course of all that, the Times' executive editor said that the paper does not "tolerate racist language regardless of intent.” This was the quote that Bret Stephens was pushing back against in his column. (Which, again, was deep-sixed by the paper.)
