If you're still under the naively mistaken belief that there is no Deep State, the Twitter file dumps1
from Elon Musk detailing how Twitter, before his acquisition of the
company, was coerced into doing the FBI's bidding, with actual FBI
agents on its staff to control the online narrative, ought to set the
record straight.
In fact, the lawlessness of our intelligence agencies and the
psychological warfare against the American public is far worse than most
people ever expected.
FBI paid Twitter huge sums of money — your tax dollars, might I add —
to censor certain views and stories, such as the damning Hunter Biden
laptop story, which likely would have sunk Joe Biden's bid for the
presidency had it received the attention it legitimately deserved.
The FBI even ran a tabletop exercise about "hacked" information
relating to Hunter Biden ONE MONTH before the real story broke. During
that exercise, they practiced the narrative (i.e., lies) that weeks
later became "official truth."
There is a Deep State running the show, and they're doing whatever
they damn well please, without regard for the law or the U.S.
Constitution. They're acting completely outside the rules of our
Constitutional Republic and the laws of the land, and they've weaponized
the very agencies that are supposed to protect us and act in the
public's best interest and turned them against us.
The Twitter files saga is expanding by the day, so I won't be able to
cover every last detail here. Books will be needed to cover this
scandal in depth. In the meantime, I suggest you review the references
cited and keep your eyes peeled for later updates.
FBI Used Twitter to Track and Spy on Americans
In the video above, investigative
journalist Glenn Greenwald reviews how Washington has expanded the war
state and the Democrat’s censorship regime. About 39 minutes in, he
begins reviewing evidence showing the FBI was not only censoring social
media content, but the agency was also, on a regular basis, asking
Twitter to reveal the location of specific Twitter users — for what
purpose, no one knows. As noted by independent journalist Matt Taibbi in
a December 17, 2022, Twitter post:
"What 'law enforcement' objective is served by asking for Billy
Baldwin's location information? Why is the FBI/DHS [Department of
Homeland Security] in the business of analyzing and flagging social
media content at all? When were these programs created and who approved
them?"
These are all good questions. Historically, the FBI's job has been to
monitor and address criminal activity, not "misinformation." Somewhere
along the way, and it's unclear exactly when the mandate changed and by
whom, the DHS/FBI (the FBI supports the DHS by investigating threats)
and other agencies tasked themselves with illegally suppressing free
speech and shaping public narratives through public-private partnerships
with Big Tech.
The Biden administration's Orwellian "Ministry of Truth,"
revealed in the summer of 2022, was one of the first indicators we had
that something was horribly amiss. And even though that agency was
quickly disbanded after public outcry
(and no small amount of mockery), the policing of mis- and
disinformation was simply shifted elsewhere within the federal
government.
Moreover, as reviewed by Greenwald, internal DHS memos, emails and
documents show the DHS has worked on expanding its influence over tech
platforms for YEARS. So, government censorship is not something that
"just happened" in response to the COVID crisis.
Nor is the censorship limited to COVID or public health information
in general. We now have evidence showing the FBI has actively interfered
in multiple elections, for example — activity that Sen. Josh Hawley
(R-MO) accurately warns is "the biggest threat to our constitutional
democracy today."2
FBI Invented 'Foreign Interference' Narrative
Not surprisingly, the FBI invented the narrative that foreign nations
were interfering in U.S. elections, which is precisely what they were
doing. As reported by Taibbi and attorney Jeff Childers,3
the FBI asked Twitter to investigate "malicious actors" spreading
election disinformation on Twitter. Twitter looked into the matter and
reported there was no evidence of foreign interference.
The FBI was none too pleased with that answer and made it clear that
Twitter better find some. As "evidence" that Twitter's investigation was
flawed, the FBI cited mainstream media articles and think-tank reports
that claimed foreign interference was indeed taking place.4
In response, Twitter's former censorship head Yoel Roth did an
about-face and informed the team that "official state propaganda is
DEFINITELY A THING ON TWITTER."
How Media Have Been Weaponized to Provide False Evidence
The FBI's tactic appears to be a variation of what House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi calls the "wrap-up smear," where they leak a lie to the
media, and then they use that media report as "evidence" that the lie is
true, and it just goes in circles from there.
Here, the FBI used reports — which were based on leaked information from anonymous intelligence agents5
— to pressure Twitter into making something up to further support the
fiction the FBI itself invented and leaked to the sources they cited.
As noted by Childers, this variant on the political wrap-up smear is also being used by U.S. health agencies:6
"It's a nifty trick … The NIH or CDC needs evidence to support
some guidance they want to issue, like masking. So they fund some
studies intended to show masks work. The pay-for-play scientists publish
cartoonish, anti-scientific clown studies 'proving' cotton masks can
somehow magically filter nanoscale virus particles.
Then the NIH and CDC cite those same studies — the same ones they
procured — to 'recommend' unconstitutional mask mandates, or even
outright order mandates, like for air travel and on cruise ships. Ditto
vaccines … It's a closed loop."
Twitter-FBI Exercise: Managing the Hunter Biden Laptop Story
We now also have evidence showing it was the FBI that quenched the
Hunter Biden laptop story. They, in collaboration with Twitter, Facebook
and the Aspen Institute, even held a tabletop exercise in October 2020
to practice the shaping of the media's coverage of a potential "hack and
dump" operation involving Hunter Biden material.7,8 National security reporters from The New York Times and The Washington Post were also in attendance.9 As reported by the New York Post:10
"The exercise by the 'Aspen Digital Hack-and-Dump Working Group'
involved an 11-day scenario in October 2020 that began with the
imaginary release of falsified records related to Hunter Biden's
controversial employment by the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which
paid him as much as $1 million a year to serve on its board when his
father was vice president.
'The goal was to shape how the media covered it — and how social
media carried it,' Shellenberger wrote. But the drill was put into
practical use weeks later, when The Post broke the news about Hunter
Biden's infamous laptop — which was either ignored or downplayed by most
mainstream news outlets and suppressed by both Twitter and Facebook."
In the video below, independent journalist Matt Taibbi speaks with
Russell Brand about the Twitter files and the kinds of censorship
tactics Twitter secretly engaged in on the government's behalf.
However, it turns out the FBI didn't just attempt to sideline the
Hunter Biden story a month in advance. No. They've been shielding it and
working with social media to shield it for them, since 2018. As
reported by Childers:11
"In December 2020, Twitter's former censorship head Yoel Roth
explained in a sworn statement that for almost two years leading up to
the leak, the FBI told him, over and over, to expect a Russian leak
about Hunter Biden in October 2020:
'During these weekly meetings [since 2018], the federal law
enforcement agencies communicated that they expected 'hack-and-leak
operations' by state actors might occur in the period shortly before the
2020 presidential election, likely in October.
I was told in these meetings that … those hacking attacks would
likely be disseminated over social media platforms, including Twitter …
[and] that there were rumors that a hack-and-leak operation would
involve Hunter Biden.' Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, made comments on
a podcast suggesting he'd had similar conversations with the FBI."
FBI Agents Assigned to Twitter Censorship Duty
As reported by attorney Jeff Childers,12
FBI field agent Elvis Chan was one of the agents assigned to work with
Twitter. He was recently deposed in the Missouri v. Biden case about his
role in Twitter's censoring of Americans. Below is just one of Chan's
emails to Twitter in which he directs them to ban specific accounts for
imagined "crimes."
As noted by Childers:13
"Note that Chan only provided a list of accounts. He didn't
bother to say WHICH terms of service were violated. He didn't say
anybody broke the law. He didn't even say WHICH tweets were
problematic."
Still, within 48 hours, Twitter had obliged, and the accounts listed
by Chan had either been suspended or banned. Below is Twitter censorship
employee Patrick Conlon's reply to Chan. As you can see, a long list of
other FBI employees were also carbon copied.
Another FBI "plant" is Jim Baker.14
Before becoming Twitter's head lawyer, he spent three decades with the
FBI, most recently as its Deputy General Counsel. He too used his
authority at Twitter to censor the Hunter Biden story. While his comment
(see email below) may seem innocuous enough — just a polite suggestion —
it's clear, with facts in hand, that Baker was trying to influence the
situation.
Intelligence Agencies Have Weaponized Social Media
For the record, Facebook also employs no less than 115 "former" employees of the FBI, CIA, NSA and other intelligence agencies.15
Most of them now work in Facebook's content moderation department,
which seems like a massive career slide, if you ask me, but what do I
know? As noted by Childers:16
"The inescapable conclusion of what we're seeing from the Twitter
Files is that our country's intelligence agencies, by and through the
FBI, now control all the large social media outlets … and are using them
to manipulate American public opinion and change the outcome of
domestic elections. But for whom?"
My answer would be they're doing it on behalf of the Deep State, the
same unelected globalists that so doggedly push for a Great Reset and
Fourth Industrial Revolution (i.e., eugenics rebranded as
transhumanism). Childers continues:17
"If Elon Musk hadn't spent $44 BILLION DOLLARS to buy Twitter,
nobody would have ever believed the extent to which the intelligence
community has absorbed private social media platforms in this country
and turned them against the people. It's literally unbelievable.
Exposure will probably be fatal. The Constitution does not
provide for any internal security service in the United States. The
agencies are WAY off the reservation, well into criminal territory, no
matter how clever their lawyers are …
Of course, we still have the teensy-weensy little problem of
'who' will charge and arrest these people, since they're in control of
the entire federal law enforcement apparatus. Don't worry, there ARE
answers. But let's wait a little bit and see how things play out."
FBI Paid Twitter Millions
As mentioned, the FBI was also using taxpayer dollars to pay Twitter
for their censorship services — $3,415,323 to be exact, between October
2019 and February 2021 alone.18
FBI and other intelligence agencies were also trying to gain even
greater and more direct influence over Twitter. In a January 2020 email,
Carlos Monje wrote to Roth, warning that a "sustained effort by the IC
[intelligence community] to push us to share more information and change
our API policies." Apparently, the FBI wanted direct access into
Twitter's database.19
Lies and More Damn Lies
Investigative journalist Lee Fang with The Intercept20
has also provided us with some real bombshells. While Twitter has
publicly insisted that it was cracking down on ALL covert government
propaganda accounts, that was only partially true.
In reality, Twitter worked with the U.S. Department of Defense to
promote and protect American propaganda accounts, and aided U.S.
intelligence agencies in their efforts to influence foreign governments
using fake news, computerized deepfake videos and bots.21 They only hunted down the foreign government-affiliated propaganda accounts. As reported by Fang:22
"Behind the scenes, Twitter gave approval and special protection
to the U.S. military's online psychological ops. Despite knowledge that
Pentagon propaganda accounts used overt identities, Twitter did not
suspend many for around two years or more. Some remain active …
In 2017 a U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) official sent Twitter a
list of 52 Arab language accounts 'we use to amplify certain messages.'
The official asked for priority service for six accounts, verification
for one and 'whitelist' abilities for the others."
Whitelisted accounts have a "validated" status similar to that of the
blue check mark, which ensures they are promoted in searches. These
accounts also don't get shadow-banned or limited by other means. In
closing, I think Childers makes an excellent and accurate observation:23
"Combine all this Twitter censorship, influence peddling, and
pure propaganda with the vast budget for pushing vaccines by buying
scientists and influencers during the pandemic, and we can begin to see
the outlines of a vast private market for censorship and fake news
created by the deep state, which then became its biggest customer."
As for the FBI, it released a single-sentence "rebuttal" on December
21, 2022 — on Twitter — to the mountain of scandalous evidence presented
against it.24
