Nothing Burger
"Nothing Burger" is a colloquial term used to describe something that is insignificant, unimportant, or lacking substance. It's often used to dismiss a situation, event, or topic as being uninteresting or having no real impact. The term implies that whatever is being referred to is essentially devoid of substance, like a hamburger with no filling â just a bun. It's often used in casual conversation or in more informal settings to convey a sense of triviality or insignificance.
The "Nothing Burger" expression is an example of linguistic framing, where language is used to shape perceptions and control narratives. Labeling something as a "nothing burger" serves as a form of linguistic dismissal, trivializing the significance of a topic or issue. This tactic can be weaponized as a means of maintaining the status quo or preserving existing power structures by downplaying dissent or criticism.
Critical discourse analysis, which involves examining the ways in which language is used to reinforce social norms and power dynamics, can reveal such instances of weaponization. By identifying instances of language manipulation, individuals can become more aware of how certain groups or interests seek to control public perception and marginalize opposing viewpoints.

I canât quite believe what Iâm reading so letâs go slow.
The FBIâs former attorney was hired by previous Twitter management, and was the one vetting the files to be given to @bariweiss & @mtaibbi that might reveal FBI collusionâŚand new owner @elonmusk wasnât told any of this???
Huh. This nothingburger. Man.
We can now tell you part of the reason why. On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of âTwitter Filesâ â without knowledge of new management.
â[W]e both dealt with obstacles to new searches.â
I interacted with @bariweiss late Saturday Afternoon, and she reflected that she had not been able to get at the source material yet. Which was totally puzzling. To me anyway.
Now, unfortunately, it starts to make sense.
Over the weekend, while we both dealt with obstacles to new searches, it was @BariWeiss who discovered that the person in charge of releasing the files was someone named Jim. When she called to ask âJimâsâ last name, the answer came back: âJim Baker.â
Maybe we need to make clear that Mainstream Media isnât trusted to hold back âNothing-Burgersâ from the public. What other Nothing-Burgers has news media held back? Is there a Wuhan Institute Nothing-Burger? An Epstein Nothing-Burger?
I want allâŚ*ALL*âŚour NothingBurgers now.đ
âMy jaw hit the floor,â says Weiss.
Wow.
So you Lilliputians decided to override a dissenting Stanford medical professor in an area of core competence *during* a real-time pandemic? You took Fauci/Collins party line?
I know Jay. The problem isnât Jay.
The problem is YOU. What the hell is wrong with you monsters?
3. Take, for example, Stanfordâs Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (@DrJBhattacharya) who argued that Covid lockdowns would harm children. Twitter secretly placed him on a âTrends Blacklist,â which prevented his tweets from trending.
Nothing burger?
Keep going. Who is going to ride the âNothing Burger Expressâ to the last stop? Step right up.
How interesting to corporate media are public airings of the details of the relationships between FBI, Twitter, the Military, elections and THE MEDIA itself?
Follow the pathological disinterest. Follow silence. Follow what is anti-interesting. Let the âNothing Burgerâ guide you.
This story is anti-interesting in the way that Jeffrey Epstein is anti-interesting.
Technically, the MSM doesnât spike stories to sway elections at the behest of the Intelligence Community colluding with Tech Platforms. I meanâŚ*that* WOULD be a story!
They merely switch to anagrams as a courtesy to the IC. Mystery solved:
Nothing Burgers = Hunterâs Bong Rig
Always order the Nothing Burger. Ask for the Nothing Burger by name.
[Also please double check the anagram? Thx.]
@alexattack88 Actual picture of a Nothing Burger.

âAs you know, we have been focused on reducing the virality of contentâŚ[that] is often true content.â
36."OFTEN TRUE CONTENT" The Virality Project communications mirror those produced in the recent court case Louisiana vs Biden, which showed Facebook admitting to the WHO that it, too, was censoring true content.
The Law of the DISC: âWhenever you see it on the mainstream media menu, ALWAYS order the Nothing-Burger.â
SoâŚHow does this all work exactly @cmsub, @latimes, @POTUS, @WhiteHouse?
Is this *all* just Kayfabe? Or is this yet another right-wing nothingburger?
Help us out. Thanks. https://t.co/VeQDzCSbwK

I don't understand Mick.
As you know, I am not a believer or experiencer. So this isn't being driven by having a dog in that fight. I do believe that the USG is not honest about things labeled UFO/UAP, and that it has had extensive denied programs that, at a bare minimum, at least involve UFOs as a cover story.
But assume what you say is true. All of it. Wholesale.
Then I want a clean crisp statement from the security services that this is a giant nothing burger, and that Mass Delusion is what is going on. If this is a Mass Delusion: MAKE THAT CASE. I'm all ears. I'll help make it. Just convince me.
You write "it's just people misinterpreting what they see in the sky, combined with a lazy sensationalist media and a gov that is aware that sometimes drones are used for bad things but not really familiar with this kind of flap". Well then, *you* are totally not understanding what is going on.
Stipulate for a moment to EVERYTHING you are saying. What YOU are describing is an absurd actual security risk: a hysterical population led by incompetent mayors, with government and media that have lost so much credibility, that they cannot stop a simple mass delusion which can now easily be weaponized by our enemies. What you are describing is ALSO a security vulnerability to be exploited by our adversaries.
You appear to have no idea what you are talking about because you are *self-inconsistent*. There is no 'just' in the above sir. The Mick West version of events is still an insane situation. You are simply describing a *second* insane security situation. I am not in NJ so I have no way to know which it is...but now I know that it is serious either way.
Forgive me Mick, but you are not getting this. Happy to be proven wrong.
I return to my original belief: this is a serious situation which, for unknown reasons, the USG is not eager to resolve in the minds of the public of which it is supposed to be their extension. The lack of resolution alone is a potentially dangerous situation having to do with public trust and panic.
This is an insane situation no matter how you slice it.
