There is more robust and rambunctious free speech on X in many ways than existed before Elon Musk<\/strong> bought and renamed Twitter.\u00a0 But my experience this week with X blacking out images of the FBI in my posts reminded me of dealing with Facebook in 2017. I walloped Facebook in USA Today<\/strong><\/a> for blocking my post on Attorney General Janet Reno showing the 1993 burning of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco.\u00a0 X even blocked me from posting a photo of former FBI chief Robert Mueller.\u00a0 At a time when President Trump is threatening to violently annihilate an entire foreign country, why does X believe that artistic representations of controversial FBI cases are “sensitive content” that must be shrouded?<\/p>\n

For the video<\/strong><\/a> I made on Tuesday tied to my article, \u201cHow I Busted the Ruby Ridge Coverup<\/strong><\/a>,\u201d I used the art from my 1995 Playboy magazine<\/strong><\/a> article showing a rifle and sniper crosshair on a Madonna and child. But X blacked that out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I replaced that image with a tombstone-type ad showing the top of the Wall Street Journal piece I did that torpedoed the coverup. That passed muster and eventually got more than 50,000 views. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the original cover shot that got blacked out by Twitter\/X:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since X didn\u2019t like that image, I asked Grok to create an image showing a sniper crosshair trained on a mother holding a baby. Grok kindly obliged, and X\/Twitter had no trouble with me using that for an illustration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

X also blacked out my repost of my 1995 cover story<\/strong><\/a> in the American Spectator<\/strong>. I tweeted: \u201cDoes X consider FBI chief Louis Freeh sacrosanct or what?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Grok explained why\u00a0 my original header was blacked out:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I appreciate that X\/Twitter did not shadow ban my post despite the initial complications with the cover image.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, I reposted my Future of Freedom Foundation article on FBI Boss Robert Mueller Conned America to Ravage Our Rights.<\/strong><\/a> But X blocked my image for the article:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the image that got blackened:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I asked Grok: WTH?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I could not even post a photo of Mueller to illustrate the article.<\/p>\n

X allows much more robust criticism of U.S. foreign policy and some other topics than prevailing elsewhere in the American media.<\/p>\n

But these FBI blackouts do raise questions.<\/p>\n
