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, try the following:

1. Go to a foreign search engine, like swisscows or yandex.

2. Search for a foreign URL shortener, the more foreign the better.

3. 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!
