Elon Musk Censors Dissident Fleeing the United States
A U.S. citizen who has been chased out of the country by a corrupt federal judiciary in an attempt to cover for the crimes of Palantir Technologies, joined X last year in an attempt communicate with government officials in a public forum and found that he was unable to interact with any other users on the platform. He had apparently been preemptively "shadow banned."
Jochen Edmund Pendleton, formerly known as Jonathan Eric Pendleton, who is currently seeking asylum in Canada, has filed suit against Elon Musk and X Corp in Bastrop County, Texas, under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the First Amendment, petition available here: https://drive.proton.me/urls/RGBJPXCMCM#NCUEmjiNFLxc
Judging from the complaints X Corp. has received on the Better Business Bureau website, https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/bastrop/profile/social-media-marketing/x-corp-0825-1000230350/customer-reviews, many of which occurred while Musk was an employee of the federal government, X Corp. has done the same to many other consumers, making this a potential mass tort action for violations of the First Amendment.
Pendleton has no prior relationship with Musk or X Corp. who appear to be participating in an ongoing cover up of a very high-profile matter in DC's federal court, Pendleton v. United States, et al, No. 01218 (2025), involving a tangential connection to Musk's friends at Palantir Technologies and their serial violations of the Fourth Amendment.
Musk has tried to dodge service of the petition in Bastrop County and has sent grossly incompetent attorneys to argue on behalf of X Corp. that "Musk’s alleged personal statements on freedom of speech or X being the platform for free speech around the world do not constitute any promises or representations as to how content posted on X will be treated, monitored, or promoted and amount to nothing more than puffery." Musk apparently does not take his citizenship oath very seriously.
Because Palantir has turned the world into a North Korea style digital prison brought to you by the Intel Management Engine and its progeny, giving the CIA total access and control of all networked devices, if you would like to share this story, print these instructions and post them in a public space:
1. Go to a foreign search engine, like swisscows or yandex.
2. Search for a foreign URL shortener, the more foreign the better.
3. Without visiting the link, obtain a redirect URL for https://jpendleton.substack.com/
4. Post the link to social media using non-descript language, avoiding keywords that would alert skynet to your activities.
5. Repeat these instructions for all subsequent shares.
If enough people share the story in this way, it is at least possible that they will not face retaliation and suffer the same fate as Pendleton. Good luck with your country!
- jleyank 8mo agoRule of thumb: If you want to criticize (or worse) the powers that be, don't use the tools of the powers that be to communicate.
- jPendleton 8mo agoDoes that include the courts? I'm afraid off-grid comms aren't going to solve this particular problem, which is why I'm seeking protection from competing sovereigns.
- bell-cot 8mo agoYep. And hardly a modern or gov't-specific thing. Go back 150 years, and how many small-town papers do you think would publish content critical of themselves?
- _aavaa_ 8mo agoSo not Twitter, fb, YouTube, TikTok, instagram, gmail, or a website that relies of Google for reach. What do you recommend for getting a message out that which people can see?
- jPendleton 8mo agoAre you asking me? I think the best option at the moment is Meshtastic or Meshcore LoRa networks, some of which are quite big now -- but not big enough for the sisyphean task of getting the courts to enforce the law.
- boxed 8mo ago> Because Palantir has turned the world into a North Korea style digital prison brought to you by the Intel Management Engine and its progeny, giving the CIA total access and control of all networked devices You would sound less credible without this obvious conspiracy theory.
- jPendleton 8mo agoI know, right? If the IME were installed on the boot ROM and easily deactivated, then we could assume it was just a feature for IT admins to run remote updates on fleets of computers. The fact that they chained it to the processors inside the SOC is a dead giveaway for mandatory backdoor. Where are the lawsuits? I mean, how do people think Palantir is able to sell access to everyone's "phone calls, emails, money, or any other material flows?” See Munn, Luke. "Seeing With Software: Palantir and the regulation of life.” Studies in Control Societies, 2017 (https://www.academia.edu/download/67734248/Seeing_With_Software_Studies_In_Control_Societies.pdf https://www.academia.edu/download/67734248/Seeing_With_Softw...) (describing Palantir's Gotham Platform which is used by governments around the world). It's as if no one has ever heard of the Fourth Amendment, e.g. Carpenter v. US, 585 U.S. 296, 138 S. Ct. 2206, 201 L. Ed. 2d 507 (2018).
