1. TWITTER FILES PART 8

*How Twitter Quietly Aided the Pentagon’s Covert Online PsyOp Campaign*

Despite promises to shut down covert state-run propaganda networks, Twitter docs show that the social media giant directly assisted the U.S. military’s influence operations.

2. Twitter has claimed for years that they make concerted efforts to detect & thwart gov-backed platform manipulation. Here is Twitter testifying to Congress about its pledge to rapidly identify and shut down all state-backed covert information operations & deceptive propaganda.

3. But behind the scenes, Twitter gave approval & special protection to the U.S. military’s online psychological influence ops. Despite knowledge that Pentagon propaganda accounts used covert identities, Twitter did not suspend many for around 2 years or more. Some remain active.

To Mitigate Risks to the DOJ and FBI Narrative, Special Counsel Lead Andrew Weissmann Snooped on Congress

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

In order to present an accurate record of events, it is important to remain focused on specifics.  During the period from May, 2017, through April of 2019, Main Justice in Washington DC was split into two divisions.

In one division there was the Special Counsel Robert Mueller team in control of everything related to DOJ and FBI activity around the 2016 election, with emphasis on the Trump-Russia headlines.  This division handled 100% of everything that was sucking up the oxygen in Washington DC.  Andrew Weissmann was in charge of this division.

In the second division, there was everything else the DOJ was doing, which is to say not much. Attorney General Jeff Sessions was heading this division.

The liaison between both divisions was Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, who generally didn’t know what was going on inside the Mueller/Weissmann operation; but, as he later testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee [June 2020 link], Rosenstein had the job of signing off and authorizing everything Weissmann et al were doing.  Rosenstein authorized every request and not a single ‘ask’ from the Mueller team was ever denied – including expanding the scope of the Mueller investigation, twice.

Why does this matter?  It matters because everything happening in Main Justice from May ’17 to April ’19, activity that was grabbing every scintilla of media attention, was being done by the Mueller/Weissmann team.  Key word ‘everything.’

There was not a single action from Main Justice that was not controlled by Andrew Weissman and company.  This action includes the recent revelations of staff and congressional members from the House Intelligence Committee (HPSCI) having subpoenas for their private emails, phone records, text message and communication.

This tells us who one of the near-the-top players was and who was a gofer and who was a nobody. This is a glimpse of who is really in control of USA and how the Deep State operates. Who was controlling Weissmann? Who was giving him orders? Who drew up the battle plan? Who OK-ed it? How did people like this rise so high in our government? This was run like a military operation, a legalistic psyop to commit and hide crimes and manipulate the public. ABN

Twitter Files Part 7 — How the FBI used and paid Twitter for censorship to throw the 2020 election

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The Twitter File #7 release shows an active 2020 political mind-control operation conducted by the FBI in advance of the election. This operation is very similar to what the FBI did in 2016 when it fabricated the bogus Trump-Russia story—the infamous “Collusion Delusion.”

The FBI is spying and using information it gathers to control the American people. In doing this, the FBI is behaving no differently than the secret police of the Soviet Union, the FSB.

Social media is under DHS surveillance, facilitated by platform partnerships and the FBI mission is based on the results. Domestic thought crimes and wrong-speak are a high priority.

…Factually, a solid argument could be made that this specific release shows how the FBI Russiagate effort against Trump needed to exit Washington DC following the 2016 election, and so the majority of FBI’s anti-Trump activity for 2020 shifted to San Francisco.

Former FBI Legal Counsel James Baker was fired after the Russiagate activity started to surface.  Baker then becomes the General Counsel at Twitter, able to coordinate and receive ongoing FBI efforts.  Baker would be positioned to influence Twitter executives to accept the FBI instructions as well as deflect any internal questions that might arrise about the platform being used as an extension of the FBI.

As noted by James Baker’s email in the file release, Baker also dissuaded the financial concerns by coordinating payments from the FBI to cover the internal costs to Twitter.  The FBI was paying Twitter for influence and control operations and James Baker handled that transfer of funds.

On the financial side of the equation, I would be on the lookout for additional information about subsidies on the tech side of the platform operation. Specifically, data processing offsets for Twitter as a result of this DHS/FBI/ODNI relationship.  My suspicion for multiple years has been that Twitter tech shifted from an open portal type connection (front of building) to Twitter actually operating on the backbone of DHS servers (back of building).

The massive herd of elephants in the guard tower is we know the FBI was doing this not just with Twitter but also with other social media platforms, MSM, and more. The even bigger and more important question is who is giving the FBI its orders? Who is controlling them? Who is really running this country? No way it’s Brandon. No way its us citizens. ABN

FBI paid Twitter $3.5M ‘to do its bidding’: Taxpayers’ money was used to suppress Hunter Biden laptop story and process agency’s requests to silence GOP voices – as fury mounts over secret state censorship of the American people

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment
  • The most recent batch of Twitter files show that the FBI paid off staffers at the tech giant to the tune of $3 million
  • The money was paid as a thank you as Twitter continued to dedicate staff to doing the bidding of the feds 
  • Emails show that Twitter’s deputy counsel Jim Baker met with feds to discuss suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story 
  • In response to the latest Twitter files dump, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said: ‘This is going to be a much bigger situation than people realize’
  • Earlier it was revealed that former FBI lawyer turned Twitter general counsel Jim Baker helped to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story

‘You do not want your most important police organization, the FBI, politicized and engaging in dirty campaign tricks’ ~ Michael Shellenberger on FBI election interference at Twitter

What’s worse is FBI is not the capo di tutti capi. They are following orders. They are operatives in a much larger battle than a single election or their small stake in it. What is being exposed here is one battlefront in a nationwide war for ownership of USA. Call it asymmetric, hybrid, 5G, or unrestricted warfare, one of its major weapons is manipulation of information–the narrative (f*cking hate that word). Don’t let this Twitter revelation become a red herring distracting you from a much larger theater of war that has been raging domestically—and violently—since WW2. ABN

Elon Musk breaks his silence on disastrous Twitter poll calling for his resignation as Kim Dotcom accuses government of hacking the vote: ‘They have the biggest bot army’

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment
  • Elon Musk has finally broken his silence after a Twitter poll recommended he stand down from the social media platform 
  • Kim Dotcom suggested the results of the Musk’s poll asking him to step down were skewed by fake accounts
  • ‘Interesting’ Musk responded while also stating only Twitter Blue subscribers would be allowed to participate in policy-related polls in future 
  • Musk’s poll came after weeks of controversial decisions including sacking half the staff, readmitting far-right figures and suspending journalists 

link

I agree with Dotcom. A vote like this can be valuable but a company like Twitter should not subject itself to crowd whims and what very probably is interference from government and other bad actors, both foreign and domestic. Musk reveals a charming but dangerous innocence with this poll and in other matters. He is probably deeply isolated by his wealth and unable to get wise, unvarnished input from anyone. If he does choose a new CEO, I suggest he ask The Ethical Skeptic to do it. He has displayed high integrity and courage, and he’s nobody’s fool. Lex Fridman has volunteered to do the job and he is a nice guy but displays a similar worldly innocence as Musk. ABN

Washington DC Labels Donald Trump an “Enemy of the State” — Meanwhile Americans Shrug and Say “Yup, That’s Why We Voted for Him”…

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

I have written so much about this dynamic, at this point it seems like I am continuing to repeat myself.  However, against the formal declaration of President Trump being labeled as an official “enemy of the state,” perhaps it’s worth a refresh.

The entire reason why CTH supported Donald J Trump in 2015 and forward was because he was a disruption to the DC system that few understood as deeply as an assembled bunch of politically homeless people right here on these pages and across America.  Since that original moment, Trump’s presence has done exactly what we always knew it would do, EXPOSE THE CORRUPTION.

Trump is the Rosetta Stone, the physical embodiment of a massive unrepresented middle-class assembly that despises Washington DC and the corrupt political establishment they represent.  Republicans and Democrats are two wings of the same vulture feeding on the carcass of the American worker, or what the FBI calls “domestic extremists,” people who just want to be left-the-f**k alone.

I like that headline! Says it all. DC has basically seized control of USA. Rather than represent the American people, they manipulate us and feed on our labors. ABN

1. After learning that Twitter employs at least 15 former FBI agents, I searched Facebook. What I found is alarming

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Facebook currently employs at least 115 people, in high-ranking positions, that formerly worked at FBI/CIA/NSA/DHS:

17 CIA
37 FBI
23 NSA
38 DHS

2. All, but a few, of the former intelligence agents were hired, by Facebook after the 2016 Presidential Election & after the FBI established their social media-focused task force FTIF. 

3. As @mtaibbi detailed in #TwitterFiles Part 6, we know there was massive coordination of censorship between the FBI & Twitter during 2020-2022.

link

This is asymmetric warfare. Many of these people see themselves as soldiers, “combatants against misinfo.” And you can be certain many of them have handlers or superior officers who control battalions and regiments of hostile actors within the borders of USA, working in many other areas besides information-control. Covid has had the grisly benefit of showing anyone who cares to look how deep and dirty this side of our society is, riddled with self-righteous parasites and enemy combatants who are feeding on the wealth of this nation while disrupting all of the societal organizations that created it.

Border Patrol agents confront Mayorkas in El Paso. Mayorkas dissembles as usual

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

An agent asked Mayorkas to provide his definition of “secure borders” after the secretary publicly said the southern border is “secure” amid record levels of illegal immigration.

“Again, he is lying his ass off saying that ‘no, I never said that,’” the agent who spoke with the DCNF said.

“‘We’re agents, we’ve seen you, we heard you,’” the agent said, adding that Mayorkas again denied making the statement and moved on to another question.

Agents also asked Mayorkas about why his strategy to curb illegal immigration is to increase their holding capacity, according to the agent.

link

Many of our public figures are in reality not actors or politicians or business leaders, they are enemy combatants, soldiers in an asymmetric war against USA. They lie, they cheat, they steal, and they work diligently at mass mind-control while simultaneously undermining USA through lockdowns, illegal immigration, bad policies, and “diversity” which too often serves to augment only their forces. These people are soldiers without uniforms fighting a war most Americans do not realize is happening though many can feel it. When we do not have the words or conventions to speak about something, that something will drift into a psycholinguistic limbo state where it appears semi-invisible, only partly real. Mayorkas is using this technique on the border by dissembling, denying the obvious, making empty promises. ABN

TWITTER, THE FBI SUBSIDIARY

2. The #TwitterFiles are revealing more every day about how the government collects, analyzes, and flags your social media content.

3. Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary.

4. Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth.

5. Some are mundane, like San Francisco agent Elvis Chan wishing Roth a Happy New Year along with a reminder to attend “our quarterly call next week.” Others are requests for information into Twitter users related to active investigations.

6. But a surprisingly high number are requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts.

7. The FBI’s social media-focused task force, known as FTIF, created in the wake of the 2016 election, swelled to 80 agents and corresponded with Twitter to identify alleged foreign influence and election tampering of all kinds.

8. Federal intelligence and law enforcement reach into Twitter included the Department of Homeland Security, which partnered with security contractors and think tanks to pressure Twitter to moderate content.

9. It’s no secret the government analyzes bulk data for all sorts of purposes, everything from tracking terror suspects to making economic forecasts.

10. The #TwitterFiles show something new: agencies like the FBI and DHS regularly sending social media content to Twitter through multiple entry points, pre-flagged for moderation.

Bill Barr is Contributor to Bari Weiss Twitter File Release Website

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

I’m not going to write extensively about this because I respect your intellectual ability to see the obvious.  Questions have been raised about why the Twitter File releases appear to have been structured in a fashion to protect government interests.

Well, the new Bari Weiss website that was set up to launch as an exclusive outcome of the Twitter File release, includes a current contributor and former 2020 control officer of the DOJ who would have facilitated the DHS/FBI contact with social media; the stuff that is transparently missing from the Twitter File releases.

Yes, former AG Bill Barr is a content partner with Twitter File narrative engineer Bari Weiss.  Gee, I wonder how that happens?

Oh look, and what a coincidence… they are both promoting Ron DeSantis.

link

This kind of information reveals the narrative control networks and how they are arranged and interact. Who the players are and how they are connected. At near-the-top levels they all speak with the same voice. At higher levels of control all sides of whatever issue are enfolded into the network as controlled opposition. We can be sure about Barr and quite sure about Weiss but may still wonder about Musk. What role is he playing? Is he controlled opposition, a limited hangout, a red-herring or a real person with an active spirit and imagination? I can forgive his too-early support of DeSantis as maybe he does not understand American politics.

Maybe Musk is fooling his handlers and will dump all the Twitter documents exposing all the crimes just before Christmas. I am willing to wait awhile and listen to him charitably. We can be sure he is under enormous pressure to submit to control. I am certain there is a very large carrot and a very large stick hanging over him and he knows it in detail. And he knows what happened to Ye, whose handler he may even share. ABN

Just below the surface, we can see Musk is being “handled” or manipulated by known espionage and mind control dark actors. It’s possible Musk knows this and is going along willingly. It’s also possible his fortune is built on connections like this. It’s fair to wonder and hope he is genuine but hard to not notice he appears to have come straight from Central Casting. ABN

TWITTER’S SECRET BLACKLISTS.

1. A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users.

2. Twitter once had a mission “to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.” Along the way, barriers nevertheless were erected.

3. Take, for example, Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (@DrJBhattacharya) who argued that Covid lockdowns would harm children. Twitter secretly placed him on a “Trends Blacklist,” which prevented his tweets from trending.
