Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, an outspoken Republican hated by the establishment left, has had her personal Twitter account permanently suspended for allegedly violating the social media network’s widely criticized “COVID-19 misinformation policy.”
“We permanently suspended [the congresswoman] for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy. We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of this policy,” a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement to the media.
The permanent suspension comes five months after the congresswoman was hit with her fourth strike for violating this same dubious policy. That strike led to her account being temporarily suspended/frozen for an entire week.
All she’d done at the time was argue that neither the coronavirus vaccine nor mask-wearing actually “reduce the spread of the” coronavirus. It’s not clear what she tweeted this time.

More: Twitter also confirms she still has access to her official account @RepMTG, as it’s not currently in violation of the Twitter Rules.
But Twitter has banned accounts before (notably Trump) for ban evasion. So if violating tweets appear there, it’ll likely be suspended too.

According to Davey Alba of The New York Times, the congresswoman’s official congressional Twitter account, @RepMTG, still remains active, though it too could wind up suspended if she starts to use it to talk about COVID.
As of about 11:00 am Sunday morning, the congresswoman hadn’t tweeted anything from the account. But she had reportedly posted messages to GETTR and Telegram condemning Twitter.
“When Maxine Waters can go to the streets and threaten violence on Twitter, Kamala and Ilhan can bail out rioters on Twitter, and Chief spokesman for terrorist IRGC can tweet mourning Soleimani but I get suspended for tweeting VAERS statistics, Twitter is an enemy to America and can’t handle the truth,” her GETTR post reads.
From the sounds of it, her permanent suspension was triggered by her tweeting about the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, a database that tracks the litany of vaccine injuries that have been reported by patients and doctors.
“That’s fine, I’ll show America we don’t need them and it’s time to defeat our enemies,” her post concludes.
She reportedly posted a mostly identical statement to Telegram but added three additional sentences.
“They can’t successfully complete a Communist revolution when people tell the truth. Social media platforms can’t stop the truth from being spread far and wide. Big Tech can’t stop the truth. Communist Democrats can’t stop the truth. I stand with the truth and the people. We will overcome!” the additional sentences read.

The suspension of her personal account has triggered widespread condemnation and disapproval, including from Glenn Greenwald, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist with a track record of standing up against and exposing authoritarianism.
In tweets posted right after news of the congresswoman’s suspension emerged Sunday morning, he argued that the suspension is outright “dystopian.”
Having unelected tech oligarchs ban duly elected members of Congress – or even the sitting President – from using their massive platforms is dystopian. Remember how many world leaders warned that FB & Twitter’s banning of Trump was a threat to democracy.https://t.co/zIT7l04hMW https://t.co/2BPFrgeZXv

The US assault on press freedom didn’t start with the prosecution and attempted extradition of Assange.

Greene’s suspension comes only days after Twitter permanently suspended Dr. Robert Malone, described by many as the “inventor of mRNA vaccines” because of a landmark experiment he performed in 1987.
“He mixed strands of messenger RNA with droplets of fat, to create a kind of molecular stew. Human cells bathed in this genetic gumbo absorbed the mRNA, and began producing proteins from it. … Later that year, Malone’s experiments showed that frog embryos absorbed such mRNA2. It was the first time anyone had used fatty droplets to ease mRNA’s passage into a living organism,” according to Nature magazine.
“Those experiments were a stepping stone towards two of the most important and profitable vaccines in history: the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines given to hundreds of millions of people around the world.”
Despite his role in the creation of the coronavirus vaccines, as documented by Nature magazine, Malone was suspended last week for the same reason as Greene.
This country is going to a very dark place…
1. President of the United States banned from Twitter (Jan 2021)
2. Dr. Robert Malone banned (Dec 2021)
3. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene banned (Jan 2022)
The overlords are trying to silence the truth tellers.
Who is next?

His suspension also triggered widespread backlash.
Look:
Robert Malone has risked his reputation and career to serve the public interest. “Public health authorities” by contrast, have sold us out to Big Pharma at every turn. By suspending @RWMaloneMD, Twitter is declaring war on the public and the scientific process.#RestoreMaloneNow https://t.co/5SuQ2AI9IO
