The suspicions surrounding Jack’s Magic Coffee shop are not new. {Go Deep} Indeed, the recent whistleblower claims of data insecurity seem to align with the overall theme that U.S. government interest are more than a little deeply involved in the domestic surveillance system known as Twitter specifically, and big social media in general.
In the latest datapoint assembly, a solid dive by MintPressNews into the number of former FBI officials working at Twitter, shows just how enmeshed the federal police are with the social media platform. The scale is really quite remarkable. [SEE HERE]
Big picture – the number of FBI officials working for Twitter indicates some strong connective tissue behind both enterprises.
[MintPressNews] – […] The FBI is generally known as a domestic security and intelligence force. However, it has recently expanded its remit into cyberspace. “The FBI’s investigative authority is the broadest of all federal law enforcement agencies,” the “About” section of its website informs readers. “The FBI has divided its investigations into a number of programs, such as domestic and international terrorism, foreign counterintelligence [and] cyber crime,” it adds.

How would it damage the U.S. government if claims about the Chinese government having access to all user data on TikTok, are shown to be identical to the U.S. government having access to all user data on Twitter?
Let that question settle in for a few moments, because that is exactly what I have been alleging since, well, 2011, when the U.S. State Dept first collaborated with Twitter in a joint public-private partnership to use the platform as a communication tool exploiting the Arab Spring uprising in Egypt, Libya and beyond.
The issue of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop is an issue of financial viability. The business model of Twitter just doesn’t exist as a free social media discussion platform while running the ultra-expensive data processing system needed for millions of simultaneous users. A global chat that requires exponential database responses as an outcome of simultaneous users is just ridiculously expensive. {Go Deep} However, if the computing system and massive database were being subsidized by the U.S. government, then the viability of the ‘free coffee‘ business model makes sense.
“Cloud computing is one of the core components of the strategy to help the IC discover, access and share critical information in an era of seemingly infinite data.” … “A test scenario described by GAO in its June 2013 bid protest opinion suggests the CIA sought to compare how the solutions presented by IBM and Amazon Web Services (AWS) could crunch massive data sets, commonly referred to as big data.” … “Solutions had to provide a “hosting environment for applications which process vast amounts of information in parallel on large clusters (thousands of nodes) of commodity hardware” using a platform called MapReduce. Through MapReduce, clusters were provisioned for computation and segmentation. Test runs assumed clusters were large enough to process 100 terabytes of raw input data. AWS’ solution received superior marks from CIA procurement officials”… (MORE)
The integration between Twitter and the United States Intelligence Community has been hiding in plain sight:
July 26, 2021, (Reuters) – A counterterrorism organization formed by some of the biggest U.S. tech companies including Facebook (FB.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) is significantly expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database, aiming to crack down on material from white supremacists and far-right militias, the group told Reuters.
Until now, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database has focused on videos and images from terrorist groups on a United Nations list and so has largely consisted of content from Islamist extremist organizations such as Islamic State, al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Over the next few months, the group will add attacker manifestos – often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence – and other publications and links flagged by U.N. initiative Tech Against Terrorism. It will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes, adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.
The firms, which include Twitter (TWTR.N) and Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) YouTube, share “hashes,” unique numerical representations of original pieces of content that have been removed from their services. Other platforms use these to identify the same content on their own sites in order to review or remove it. (more)
A shared hashing protocol is a form of data system integration.
The databases of the identified social media platforms appear to be integrated with the U.S. intelligence system. This relationship makes the U.S government a stakeholder in the financial sustainability of the enterprise(s). Thus, a collaborative effort to subsidize the underlying data processing fits the mutual benefit scenario.
What does Elon Musk know and when did he learn it? That might shed a bit of light on how that big story of his proposed acquisition came crashing down.
A good question to ask. I am not sure that Musk knew anything beforehand, nor that he learned anything about FBI ties in the process.
But him not knowing would not mean anything about whether the FBI were closely tied to Twitter or not.
He must have known that Twitter never had sufficient revenue to sustain itself, or else those books were really, really well cooked.
Isn’t Elon Musk also a US Government contractor?
Yes
No.
Yes. He is most definitely.
I would add 4.9 Billion in government subsidies means the government owns that business. That was just in 2015…
https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-spacex-won-two-pentagon-contracts-launch-military-rockets-2021-3?op=1
presumably, he also learned that there are not nearly the number of users on twitter as the represented in SEC filings and way more bots on board than anyone knew til now.
Is it safe to assume that Jack knew it all? Same with Zuckerberg? Based on history we know Uniparty R’s won’t press this IF they regain house majority (crooked Boehner, Ryan, McCarthy). Same story with the Uniparty R Senate and various committees (specifically SSIC).
“The databases of the identified social media platforms appear to be integrated with the U.S. intelligence system.”
It has appeared fro the beginning these social media ‘platforms’ were not started by tech geniuses, but by government institutions, granting access and ability to control everybody, all the time.
We have a winner ! Hold all cards!
Twatter and Fakebook and others databases are integrated in that mega data center we paid for in Utah
Like the last Jason Bourne movie.
Funny how that works.
And don’t forget the movie “Enemy of the State “
There’s a reason that Russia and China developed their own social media platforms and invested in building the popularity of their domestic platforms (just creating the platforms doesn’t make them popular, that takes marketing). Not only do they want the same capabilities that our IC has (but over their own populations), they also want to deny our IC visibility over their populations. Security researchers have found lots of sketchy things in various apps, both U.S. based services as well as others from around the world.
People can be pinpointed and targeted, even targeted with lethal force, based on data exchange from their phone, even by having an app like Facebook installed. It’s part of the reason we need digital rights that extend Constitutional protections into modern constructs, such as making it unlawful for these platforms to hand over data without court orders. Sadly, I don’t see our country moving in that direction.
Maybe a new country will prioritize these things, once enough people realize that building something new is probably the only way to get away from the great reset, etc. Lots of work, lots of risk, but seems like it is absolutely necessary to preserve liberty.
There’s a reason that Russia and China developed their own social media platforms ……
China didn’t develop theirs. They paid Google to design it for them, including the social scoring.
It’s ready to go in the USA.
Fakebook was started with $50 million of CIA venture capitalist money and that is a proven fact.
Just think about that. The CIA has MULTIPLE VENTURE CAPITALIST companies they run to finance their illegal off the books operations.
Even back in the early 60s JFK said he would smash the CIA into a thousand pieces.
That comment cost him his life.
Now, they are completely out of control and answer to nobody.
And yet they out themselves.
Because in their minds, they are past the point of needing to care.
Can you clarify or explain that a little bit. All I could find was resemblance between Facebook and a DARPA project called lifelog.
DARPA literally killed the Lifelog program the very day Facebook became a company. The. Same. Day.
Yup….and to think that during all those 60+ hour work-weeks in my past I was missing out on so many highly coincidental happenings….
People were concerned at the time about giving too much personal information to the govt with Life Log. But for Facebook they gladly handed it over. Just a change in optics.
In-Q-Tel has been the originator of MANY businesses, significantly more than they admit to. I’m sure it’s the same with the several other CIA fronts. When I see IQT was an investor, I try to think of the worst possible way a given technology or the information that would pass through the technology could be misused. And then I multiply by 10, maybe 100, depending on the specifics.
The IC has completely taken over our government/media/technology. Out of control. It’s sickening.
I deeply want out of this system, but know that a critical mass must form in order for any escape to be successful. They know it too — look what they did in January of 2021. How long were those fences up?
States are going to have to pull out, I see no other way for a true USA 2.0 movement to survive through the small formative phase without state government action. The moment that happens, I’m shifting the focus of my life to helping in the launching of a new government. I’ve been involved in building businesses from the ground up all my adult life. I think I’ll be able to apply those skills to building a country. If not, I’m certainly willing to learn whatever it takes to secure a better future for many generations of people.
I don’t see any other way that will actually be effective. I see lots of stall tactics, but I don’t want delays and obfuscation. That doesn’t solve anything, it just shifts the burden to later, when it will be even more difficult to accomplish.
CIA started financing their black ops early on during Vietnam War through drug smuggling operations…….they continued that from S and C America into the ’80s until at least the 2000s….some assert the big drug seizures are merely them taking out the competition
It is really hard to understand how the big tech sites can ban so many of their loyal users and content creators and still stay in business. There almost has to be government money backing them up, meaning OUR money. How disgusting is that?
I don’t understand why that is hard to understand. They let people back in. They modulate and moderate behavior. Every click can create a psychologic profile. It is possible to intensify the analysis on a specific targeted user, pool all available data on a targeted user
It is theoretically possible to link your user profile and DNA information either in FBI database, medical database, or 123 me or ancestry.com and have a pretty good idea which viruses will be lethal for you, or cause neurolgic or cognitive damage, make or give you cancer.
It is theoretically possible to create a virus or vaccination that wipes out certain targeted genetic populations. Don’t think for a minute these experiments haven’t been going on, much less thought of.
Its the content they are banning, not the creator. All they want is their message and ideology broadcast.
big internet sites have what they call a front end and a back end…the front end is what you deal with and the back end stores and deals with all the data……the back end of some of the larger “social media” sites is provided and managed by the IC….when you get into communications you learn how even in small groups the addition of just a single new member complicates things by the additional lines of communication required….to a social media site these are all a cost and continued adding of new members drives costs incrementally higher….SD has written several articles about this….the costs of the increased eyes on site have been borne behind the scenes by the US government and the IC
DARPA. We’ve always known these “geniuses” were driving on our taxpayer funded superhighway.
It logically follows that the gubmint allowed it for a reason. So they could both control the superhighway, who was allowed on it & they controlled the snooping.
Yeah! DARPA ideas funded by CIA
There inherent problem is, as I see it that absolute control isn’t possible.
Witness that I am writing this, and you are reading it.
Witness that as you no doubt remember, BK, for several years we had a poster posting anti CCP comments every night, and said she was doing so from inside Mainland China.
And, I am pretty sure she WAS.
IMHO they believed their own hype on “the power of the i-net” and “the value of data” and dismissed the aspects of the i-net that didn’t fit their narrative, and this is to their detriment long term.
Just as with control of msm, the ability to manipulate/control public opinion is its only value to them, and that is entirely contingent on CREDIBILITY.
So what if you control msm, once NOBODY believes msm?
Wow this is such a very good point!
I hope everyone reads your comment.
The financial ties to Google, in the form of Grants to Sergei Brin, before the actual formation of Google , either is, or at one time was, public information.
It was wrritten of in at least one academic paper not too long after Google was started.
We knew for sure due to Snowden.
This is very close to the truth.
The Federal Bureau of Tweets: Twitter Is Hiring an Alarming Number of FBI Agents
The CIA and FBI have implemented a number of reforms and new procedures at the CIA that are designed to detect the slightest of early warning signs of espionage. As a direct result of these reforms, anomalies were detected that ultimately led to the identification of Nicholson and his alleged espionage activities. These reforms include:
The Chief of CIA’s Counterespionage Group is a senior FBI official who has full access to CIA’s most sensitive counterintelligence data and is thus in a position to fully coordinate the joint efforts of both organizations.
The Chief of CIA’s Counterespionage Group is assisted by deputies from both the security and operational disciplines at CIA, and has at least one FBI Special Agent on the Counterespionage Group staff full-time.
https://www.cia.gov/news-information/press-releases-statements/press-release-archive-1996/pr111896.html
A joint CIA/FBI position was created by Congress in 1996. Strzok was “a senior FBI official” by being the CIA’s Chief of Counterespionage.
In July of 2016, Peter Strzok opened a counterintel investigation into Trump’s camp dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane” on suspicions (based on no evidence) that the Russians had infiltrated Trump’s circle.
https*//www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/12/ig-report-fbi-official-higher-up-than-peter-strzok-involved-in-opening-crossfire-hurricane-to-spy-on-trump/
Replace * with :
The Chief of CIA’s Counterespionage Group is a senior FBI official who has full access to CIA’s most sensitive counterintelligence data and is thus in a position to fully coordinate the joint efforts of both organizations.
Does anyone in a position to fully coordinate the joint efforts of both the CIA and FBI organizations, not also report to both directors of these same organizations? If your answer is yes. Then why would two directors on the same operation not be reporting to the President?
Wouldn’t it be great to have Tucker interview Sundance in a long form format? Can’t understand why Tucker has never even acknowledged Sundance or his marvelous research. What’s missing here?
Tucker isn’t on our side. He’ll only talk about what he can get away with. If he really gave a damn he’d have started his own podcast or something along the lines of what Joe Rogan does. I’d imagine he’d get a lot of viewers if he went down that route. But right now it’s more profitable (and safer) to stay where he is.
Thank you for this. I have never mentioned my disdain for Tucker here because it seems a great deal of the vid links are from him but I agree with you. To me Tucker is no better than Bill O’Reilly who he replaced If you ever watched the fox bill show then listened to him on his radio show you would swear you were listening to 2 different people with 2 different points of view that just happened to have the same name and same voice. Tucker seems to do a bit of a better balancing job than Bill did. Tucker plays both sides on a single show instead of 2 and forgive me for going biblical about the subject the the bible says….. ” So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
Sundance is hot, Tucker is lukewarm so that interview is not likely to happen. Rush mentioned CTH and so does my local wksy radio station from time to time. Perhaps hitting up Bob Rose for an interview from time to time might do some floridians good along with other local radio stations like wsky.
Lou Dobbs was another follower of CTH. I’m guessing there are many MSM types. In the shadows and not friends. Tucker is a cash cow for Fox. Tucker is Fox. Maybe Gutfeld can hang on. Look for Fox to lose it’s base just like Newsmax. As more of us will find OAN, possibly Bannon. But for the unfettered truth it is SD and CTH, and always will be.
For those of you so willing to bash Tucker, please explain why Sundance features him almost daily. Explain the error in Sundance’s thinking.Don’t doubt for a moment that the repulsive Paulie Ryan has his undies twisted so tight that he could sing soprano while listening to Tucker’s opening monologue.
Let the Carlson-bashers have their little funfest.
He is doing important work for our side right where he is.
You astound me with those comments.
And for the others who don’t understand how unusual is Carlson, please don’t compare a tv host’s show to a a person with a podcast or one with a radio show.
Carlson is on a visual medium, trying to edify yet keep the audience engaged. That is why it is rare for him to do the entire show on one topic only. You can’t edify if you lose the audience, right?
Carlson is brighter and more educated than any other host exept Levin, who is just as bright and just as educated, but Levin concentrates more on his specialty, Constitutional law.
I don’t really know what more some of you think Carlson CAN do.
Remember that Rogan only does a % of his shows on stuff that matters.
It amazes me how many “patriots” think Carlson is a journalist. He is a very highly paid celebrity at the corporate news outlet called FoxNews.
While it is true he currently covers things from a “conservative” perspective, it would do his fans good to remember the other Foxnews talking heads who professed to be “conservative” but after they got more money elsewhere, the “conservatism” morphed into progressivism. Megyn Kelley ring a bell?
Oh, please. Joe Rogan is a sellout a_ _ covering jerk.
C’mon, man! Do you really think we, and MAGA, and our nation would benefit from a full reveal of SD’s persona and history? Why not just put a beeg bullseye on SD’s back and slow-walk him past the FBI HQ in DC.
for some reason I think Sundance is unafraid
Sundance has already “outed” himself, if not before certainly by his sojorn into the Swamp.
Longtime treepers know this, newcomers would really benefit by spending a couple if hours in the archives.
Dutch, have any pointers in how to efficiently get an overview of the archives?
Use the search function at the top of the page (magnifying glass). Enter a topic – like “Nikki Haley” and you’ll get the articles. Usually chronologic new to old.
If you look to your television set for salvation, you have already lost the battle.
Truer words never said.
Amen to that.
If you like the Niners, you watch Niner games.
If you like the Raiders, you watch Raider games.
If you like a conservative editorial, you watch Tucker.
If you like a libtard editorial you watch CNN and the like.
Its all entertainment.
And ALL provided by our mortal enemies.
But gosh! If that is true, so many “patriots” will be—gasp—-inconvenienced.
They might miss all their sports and entertainment—all of which is provided by our mortal enemies.
Undoubtedly Tucker reads Sundance. Sometimes I hear Sundance loud and clear in the TCT monologues. For that I am grateful and refuse to speak ill of Mr. Carlson.
After reading this post, it may be time for a good ol’ stack of pancakes.
Mmmmm,….PANCAKES
I have a great recipe for pancakes. Got it from my good friend and mentor… 😉
Hey fbi, if you’re reading this 🖕
No if about it. 😀
They read, even if no one else can see.
If you write a post, or an email etc and never hit send/post, it matters nought to them. They already read every single keystroke!
Big Tech=Government Contractors
The point is, the so-called reforms have been going on since 1995. I do not believe we have a separate law enforcement organization, and the same can be said for the two party system.
Love the exposing in this information war.
Big Brother banned me. I’m having to watch these DeSantibots attack Sundance and I have all these memes and articles saved refuting basically everything they say about DeSantis. Showing that he didn’t turn against lockdowns until AFTER Trump turned against lockdowns in Apr 2020 (DeSantis kept Florida locked down until May). I didn’t get banned until I started effectively calling out DeSantis. Weird
DeSantis in Apr 2020 locking down Florida https://www.orlandosentinel.com/coronavirus/os-ne-coronavirus-desantis-wednesday-20200401-yc2ttrxuw5hx7ci3zn2id3ynlq-story.html
Here’s Trump in Apr 2020 supporting protests against Governors who locked down and being criticized for it. And now DeSantibots are rewriting history (just like libs) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52330531
Not weird.
Typical Administrative State B.S.
Why is the IC trying to start a race war in America?
Because The One’s efforts to start that race war to date have not succeeded.
For the same reason the Biden Regime has operated under an emergency declaration for their entire administration.
Because they’re terrified someone might make war on them.
Yup. Because if they can start a race war, they get the races fighting each other instead of all races realizing that they have the same enemy, the DC Uniparty and the US gub’mint.
Can’t have that now, can we? Gotta take the focus off the real source of thievery and our torment.
To take advantage of any violence that results and cause a crack down on civil liberties. If they can’t make a real one, they’ll false flag it. IMO, how the population responds when that happens will likely decide the general course of the rest of all of our lives.
Sadly, I think we’ve already seen the population’s response to a crackdown on civil liberties with covid.
Because if Blacks and Whites are bush fusing among ourselves we won’t turn our attention on THEM.
Why?
Elimination of the white, Christian, conservative middle-class.
The feds will support, arm, train and provide logistical and intel support to the Safarians (at least those that can be half-way managed) in furtherance of the genocidal goals of the Ruling Class.
And once the enemies of the Ruling Class are vanquished, the Useful Safarians will next on the list for extermination.
Everything they do, has as one key element, sewing dissention and disunity.
They don’t CARE what the issue is, and if they could get people to divide into factions, based on the color of their car, house or hair they would.
So long as we are divided, we can’t unite against them.
Look at this studentbloan ‘forgiveness’; divides those who don’t qualify from those that do, etc.
Division is their refuge, as they know if we ever stop falling for their divisive tactics, they are screwed.
That started around 1900, but it wasn’t the IC doing it in those days. It had been brought to the attention of Comintern (Communist International) that the usual Class Warfare angle of communist recruitment worked very little in the United States. Initially, what progress Communists made in the US was among recent immigrants, but Communists found that worked only for a very short time, until immigrants realize that they could get ahead in the country very easily. But, in place of class warfare, it was noted that communism did have some lasting appeal to Black Americans, because they really were discriminated against at that time in a way that was similar to the way lower class people were prevented from moving up in most of Europe. Although he claimed not to be a communist, w e b Dubois seem to have been one of the early agents of that effort.
Dubois is now the source of most ideology taught in Black studies courses. Replacing healthier strains of thought originating in Frederick Douglass and George Washington Carver. Formally, Dubois” ideology called for infiltrating the upper classes in the United States. And not worrying about any real advancement in the welfare of the larger Black American population until power was taken.
In practice, the infiltration of Communism of the academic Elites turned out to be more critical to the advancement of communist ideas, but the concentration on the Black American population has always accompanied it.
One can look at the intelligence Community becoming converted to the idea of destroying America in the formation of the OSS during World War II. From the start it included many communists. When the CIA replaced it shortly after World War II, it included from the start some people were highly suspect. One I have sometimes read about was named Cord Meyer. His much younger wife was one of JFK’s mistresses, and was killed mysteriously. The crime never solved.
The JFK angle has dominated all reporting on him and his wife to the exclusion of more interesting antecedents involving him working for Soviet front organizations before World War II.
The large databases are the main mechanism of the commie globalists to control us.
Without the use of the large databases, the commie globalists are just small commie cells behind their gated communities.
The large databases need to be devolved or made null.
Applications will be restricted to using disconnected files, not large databases.
Large databases are new. They were developed in the last 4 decades with the increase in size of the data storage devices. We don’t need them but the commie globalists do to try to control us.
Removing them is one of our main priorities in the post-coup America.
It is a close second to eliminating the computers from the voting process.
I can see the appeal of this idea. I do not know however, how this Genie can be put back in the bottle.
It is simply too easy for someone with a database to send a copy of it somewhere else.
Preventing further expansion of the database, so that it eventually becomes outdated, might be more realistic.
How about scripts that run on millions of devices and generate massive amounts of fake accounts on data.
this and scripts that corrupt or power that flips bits. BTW, everyone should have hard copies on hand of all their information.
made null!
PS – modified files – additons/deletions results in different hashes.
Facebook also has Pentagon (DARPA) connections. The Pentagon terminated its Lifelog program the same day Facebook was established. Feb 4, 2004. Coincidence? I think not. https://www.wired.com/2004/02/pentagon-kills-lifelog-project/
I have noticed lately they are running algorithms on Instagram that are trying to divide, or put a wedge between men and women. Have been noticing 30% of the posts in the explore function which is fed by algorithms are about women finding a better man, or finding someone who actually loves them. So they are trying once again to brainwash women into voting democrat and being anti man.
What more would you expect of a bunch of Leftist Commies though?
Some may think it’s silly, but this fits very well with the ideas of BLM, and really with the ideas of original Marxism.
It’s disgusting, they offer the option to no longer see this kind of post, etc. but when you mark it as spam and choose to no longer see them, the Commie Leftist have the algorithms set up to do the opposite…. then they show you more of the BS in your feed.
Imagine how evil you have to be to run these brainwash scams on hundreds of millions of people.
To interfere with their thought process and subconscious mind. They are almost Hitler level of EVIL.
And still on the platform?
SMH
Why even use instagram—or any other anti-social media why all those platforms are provided by our mortal enemies?
Seriously folks if you aren’t aware of this I urge you to take a look.
Y’all remember: The Cloud is someone else’s computer.
The Cloud is Amazon’s server farm.
This!
Not really anything new if you think through all the different ways oppressive government has done this over the years. I’m sure newspapers and magazines have been infiltrated along with radio, telephones and TV. In civil war times I’m sure newsletters and leaflets were subsidized to control the narrative.
When books were first printed and caused “unwanted thinking” I would bet governments started their own printing presses. Even as far back as simple word of mouth and couriers, I would bet governments controlled whatever they could. I would also presume that Egyptian rulers pretty much controlled the majority of carved hieroglyphics and I’ll bet you anything some of those cave painters were supplied with ink by the only people who had it, rulers.
After all this time, why would anyone think it’s not still happening? The question is, can it be stopped? Minimized is probably the best we could expect.
The usefulness of written propaganda really only began after the invention of the printing press.
Cave paintings or hieroglyphics could only be seen by a very small number of people. The hieroglyphics could only be understood by the handful of people in Egypt who knew how to read them, mostly high-ranking specialists working for temples or the Pharaoh himself. Interestingly, it is only in the last 50 years or so that archaeologists have realized that the simple workmen building the pyramids and such things had an alphabet based writing system that they used for everyday purposes, such as graffiti. However, none of the graffiti yet found seem to be either Pro regime propaganda, nor anti-regime propaganda. It was mostly the kind of stuff we see written on bathroom walls.
Honest Abe even secretly owned a German newspaper to promote his candidacy: https://www.thefire.org/abraham-lincoln-purchases-newspaper-and-demands-that-it-endorse-the-republican-party/
Soviet Union used to send out new variations of ‘history’ according to the party line for people to paste into their reference books after the old, offending ‘history’ was literally cut from the books.
And if Big Brother doesn’t like the way you think, the thoughts you share about how you don’t approve of the way Big Brother is violating citizen rights and using tax payer monies, Big Brother will come after you!
Good luck with that. For some reason, my phone persists in thinking I am in Californicate, which I definetly AM NOT.
LOL,..
Just finished listening to yesterday’s Worldview Radio podcast where the host’s opening segment goes into interesting detail about the former NSA and CIA head, appointed by G.W. Bush, thinks of everyday American citizens, and the way to know who these terrorists (i.e. republican voters that are MAGA leaning) are is data-mining online posts, tweets, etc. and that these unvaccinated MAGA republicans should be airlifted, unarmed into Afghanistan of all places! The former head of the CIA recommends using online sites such as twitter to discover who these traitors are.
It was the first 15-20 minutes opening of the show. Will admit, after listening to that, seeing this post on Jack’s magic coffee shop, am not looking away but am going to go out and take a walk in nature to balance things out for a bit.
Here’s a link to the podcast, the full length is almost one hour (and had to stopped after the opening, literally jaw dropping moment in time):
https://www.worldviewweekend.com/tv/video/worldview-radio-former-nsa-and-cia-head-compares-conservatives-terrorists
The time to engage these scoundrels is upon us.
I would at least wait to see if there is a real election in november.
How do you define “engage?”
Truthfully not that overwhelmed by hirings – great cushy post retirement jobs for the 20 year retirees – not unlike retired military being recruited by defense contractors and NGOs , the cyper “cooperation” is on a higher institutional embedded level…
Without federal funding of Twitter it would not exist. When Twitter removes tweets, it as well as the federal government, is censoring our First Amendment right.
Congress claiming Twitter is a 3rd party is guilty of censorship as well.
Congress plan is to deconstruct our Republic and create a Parliamentary system and remove our rights.
Congress’ plan is to bring about the great reset. Actually, it’s the globalist plan, Congress is just made up of the worker bees that carry it out.
IMO, the only viable alternative is to “take our ball and go home”, build something new.
Nearly all of the people in the Federal government (elected persons, career staffers, and Presidential appointments alike) above the mid-level are using their power to bring about the decline of the nation. I don’t think that our country can survive under such conditions.
From the Mintpress article:
“When asked to comment by MintPress, former FBI agent and whistleblower Coleen Rowley said that she was “not surprised at all” to see FBI agents now working for the very tech companies the agency polices, stating that there now exists a “revolving door” between the FBI and the areas they are trying to regulate.”
Since WHEN did the FBI or Twitter get authority to REGULATE ANY aspect of American life???
Answer – they DON’T have that authority.
But it is a dead giveaway of their attitude towards their roles in government and media that they have been trained for decades to believe. HUGE PROBLEM.
Excellent point
So it’s the US government that disallowed knowledge of Hunter Biden’s and Joe Biden’s selling of his offices….my tax dollars stealing my own vote, in other words.
As for Fb? It makes money.
So, does that mean that the government has a deal in place with capitalists like Zuck? “We’ll allow you to make all kinds of dollars, but you must take orders from us whenever we come calling.”
That does seem to be the deal for Google, Facebook, Twitter and whatever else they’ve got going.
In contrast, originally Microsoft grew in the Wild on its own, but when Bill Gates tried to get away with that I have dozen countries started after him for monopolistic practices.
When Bill Gates had made his first billion dollars, he had no lobbyists, and had never made a political contribution in his life, nor had Microsoft. He proudly announced that he would never have a lobbyist and never make political contributions. Then all the governments went after him, and now he has a whole building of just lobbyists and is a Mainstay financier of every leftist cause that exists.
He found out that you are not allowed to be that rich unless you Pony up plenty of money for the leftist causes. It is the government Regulators of business that make corporations left wing.
yes
Where are twitter’s servers
all over the world
twitter, facebook, google etc all grew exponentially around 2009. It is all tied to govt partnerships
Hmmm. The first year of Hussein Ozero’s reign of Obamanation….
Surprise, surprise, surprise! NOT!
Think most of us realize that if things don’t start going back to the constitution then this will be the faie of many all over the country, not just the people posting on forums like this one.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the FBI had a file on all of us who post here regularly. They truly are the modern Gestapo.
I’ve had DOJ Lawyers recorded as visiting my LinkedIn account. And I am a nobody.
They have a file on everyone. Assuming the FBI is embedded in Facebook, the Meta data base contains 52,000 data points on each person. And this includes those who do not have a Facebook account.

Remember about the time Trump or Obama was running for president t someone said that if one didn’t want to get their butt arrested then stop posting and participating on forums like “last Refuge”
I’m was like H3LL its a bit too late for that. They got everyone’s number already, whether you’re a participant or just a lurker or maybe just listen to the news.
Your comment made me think about Aaron Swartz. May he Rest In Peace: https://www.wired.com/2009/10/swartz-fbi/
Sky News Australia is more balanced than the rest of the mainstream media.
However, they have a new report that purports to reveal shocking details
‘Completely alarming’: Redacted version of Trump affidavit released
If most of the affidavit is blacked out, how on earth can they make these claims with such certainty?
Where did they get this information from and who is behind the compilation?
Are FBI fingerprints all over this?
The failure to release the unredacted affidavit is fueling speculation and promoting false accusations. This is a travesty of justice.
there in lies the benefit – like schiff and crew and all media speculating for years about trump’s ties to russia, ukraine, etc
repeat something three times and people believe it is true.
Microsoft!
This explains why every morning when I open my Hotmail box, there is a delay of some ten seconds before my messages show up. At the top of my emails are two sudden blinking messages; all I see is ‘Microsoft’. And they disappear.
About ten days ago, I lost access to my Twitter account although they didn’t suspend me. I can’t log in anymore, it’s over. And I’m happy, it was a good thing. But I also had to log in with passwords to all my online accounts and apps whereas before it was an automatic log-in everywhere.
I am not a violent person nor a supremacist. I condemn violence and I am not subscribed to any of those websites.
Thus, why is Microsoft tracking me? Very strange.
I just got a quick glimpse before it disappeared again: Microsoft Outlook !!
Two weeks ago, that wasn’t there. Weird.
The American Gestapo needs control of Communications. They need to highlight their messages (lies) and stifle the Truth.
Face the Facts. Bin Laden Won. America destroyed itself with the Patriot Act. And no punishment was delivered for the FBI and CIA for failing to protect American soil. A protection that then and now, requires no snooping of Americans communications.
Incompetence and Thuggery. That is what your tax dollars deliver.
The first Presidential Campaign that makes 1 of it’s top 10 priorities, to fire all 87,000 IRS new hires will win in a Landslide.
This is the revolving “employment door” phenomenon on steroids. The phenomenon involves US Government employees leaving Federal Service to work for US Civilian Contractors, especially Contractors with whom Federal Employees work as part of contracted efforts. This was and somewhat remains a DoD issue but congress took steps to limit flow of DoD employees into Civil Industry via timeline laws related to rank as well as contractual content.
I am not aware if there are limits on the flow of non-DoD employees to the contractor ranks…especially contractors that would benefit from the contacts and insider knowledge these Federal Employees would bring.
I suspect it is worse that Federal Employees leaving Federal Service. This smacks of Federal Employees being loaned or seconded to Industry to support contracts… with Government and Commercial Companies being fully integrated. In the hardware development role this is simiar to the GO-CO Operations (e.g. General Dynamics running Anniston Army Depot or NASA in Houston run by Boeing). .
We discussed here on CTH the large number of contracts let during Comrade Obama’s regime by multiple US Executive Branch Agencies to “Teams” of High Tech I/T and Computer Hardware Companies. Many of these “Teams are settling into closely located facilities in Austin, TX that also is the home of the US Future Command and car drive away from multiple Military Cyber-Command Assets. There are also major data centers belonging to: AT&T, IBM, Microsoft, SAP, Amazon and others located in Austin, Houston and Dallas.
This is a full blown integration of US Government Agencies with Major Commercial I/T and Media Companies, involving; financial, security, military and paramilitary-law enforcement roles.
Also, there are major foreign consulate facilities close by, including: China Inc. (Houston) and Several EU/NATO Members (Austin, Houston, Dallas), Switzerland-DAVOS (Houston, Dallas).
META (Previously Facebook) is building a new data center in the north part of the KCMO metro. Due 2024.
The FBI is building to relocate their field office from downtown to the north too, generally same area west of META. Due 2023.
My circle gets smaller and smaller. Sad.
We are in the end times…
The end times for what people call “The United States of America”, that is.
In general, I do not separate the intelligence community into individual entities when asking questions about their ties to social media or to Google.
I think most intelligence agencies have very little real independence anymore, and it is likely the CIA that would have had the means to infiltrate and thereby control the others even before the intelligence community was deliberately unified under the director of intelligence.
I have mentioned before that at least one book I read in the 1970s written by an FBI official said that CIA agents sometimes infiltrated the FBI without the knowledge of FBI leaders. This reportedly began with CIA personnel merely pretending to be FBI agents when seeking information from third parties. And the whole phenomena was not presented as a huge deal, more like fraternity pranks on one another, but the author made clear that CIA agents sometimes went so far as to join the FBI the way any special agent would while concealing CIA identity.
I read that book in the 1970s, and I seem to recall having the impression that this was done merely so the CIA could gather information that the FBI probably should have given to the CIA anyway. But I realized even then that this would be used inevitably for the internizing battles for budgeting, which in Washington are very high stakes affairs. I don’t recall though if that idea was presented in the book.
The book I refer to I am certain I got at my high school library.
The State. Nothing outside the State. Nothing exists beyond the State.
Mussolini landed on this magic formula a century ago.
Mussolini inexplicably hitched his wagon to Hitler, but corporatism/fascism remains the formula without a counter, at least to leftists and rich liberals.
Leftist anarchists remain devoted to seeing the destruction of capitalism in general, and America in particular.
The utter destruction of western society, to correct climate change (I guess) is this week’s phantasm.
The profound ultimate question, is can humans ever pursue simple happiness? I doubt it.
Most criminal enterprises infiltrate different entities, to be more effective.
It take a special kind of idiot at this point not to know that Twitter, Facebook/Instagram and Google/YouTube are essentially the Fourth Branch’s electronic surveillance and manipulation tools ran directly by their assets.
It’s like reading New York Times and Washington Post or listening to CNN or MSNBC and believe they are not just trying to manipulate you on behalf of the government agencies by repeating their lies and propaganda.
And it is both telling and discouraging to see how many “patriots” are those special “idiots” to whom you refer.
Many would never waste time or give support to our mortal enemies by reading NYT or watching MSNBC or CNN yet they apparently (just from the comments in the CTH) spend hours on enemy platforms like FB and Twitter.
Anti-social media is more addicting than nicotine or meth it seems.
This becomes much easier to understand if you remove the categories of “social media” and “government agency”, and instead think of them wholistically. The government is social media is Twitter is the FBI, etc. The current euphemism for this sort of structure is “public private partnership”. In the past it was known as fascism.
So again I ask why do self-proclaimed “patriots” continue using Twitter and other anti-social media used and controlled by our mortal enemies?
Perhaps there is a 12 step program you can find to defeat your obvious addiction.
Actually, ALL Social media is being used for that purpose, including here, unless you think they are not monitoring this site. Now they may not be controlling sites like this in the same way, and extent as the anti-social sites, but in much more secretive ways, like gathering info on all of us for a future diabolical plan.
Why do you think Sundance had to scramble, and build a whole new site here a while back? Who do you think was behind it, Santa Claus?
They are monitoring it, we even have some known posters whom are part of the Regime.
The eye in the sky is always watching too, if you get too out of line.
My dear fellow, I fully understand that nothing on ghe internet is “private.”
My point is not related to “privacy” but rather that so many “patriots” seem unable to understand that their use of FB, Twitter, etc. etc. it giving actual aid and comfort to our mortal (yes they really want us dead) enemies. Just like sports and TV “entertainment.”
One cannot use these “offerings” without their having an adverse effect on the user.
I wonder if “patriots” will realize before it is too late they are now in a total war for America and our freedom that simply cannot be fought by picking and choosing which offerings of our enemies they will use so they can be “entertained.”
Looks like Of the People, by the People and for the People has been replaced by Of the FBI, by the FBI and for the FBI.
The FBI was the standing army the Founding Fathers so feared.
Or maybe it’s just a taste of what they so feared?
BTW, in our pointing out how much of an enemy to the freedom of America the FBI is, don’t forget to take a glance from time to time at what is going on in the regular standing army. It ain’t good at all.
So what’s the fix? Must be one.
All the more reason to stay away from fb, twit, instagram, anything google, etc.
AMEN!
Sadly, reading just this thread demonstrates how few here think that way.
Our enemies love providing all this “entertainment” to “patriots” who think they can dance with the devil whenever they feel like it and come away unscathed.
The integration between Twitter and the United States Intelligence Community has been hiding in plain sight. Let us stipulate this is accurate for Facebook and possibly others as well.
All part of the 4th Branch of US Government pillar:
Obama Holder initiative to re-target IC, and ALL alphabet agencies along political lines and target US citizens
FDA, CDC bias and undue influence (CV-19 and beyond)
Using the Twitter/ FB platforms for surveillance
Uniparty Big Club system control with Chamber of Commerce influence
MSM to shape narratives
Add now political hopefuls across party lines.
Add now crooked state governments: (hard to name any not crooked in some manner).
Add now compromised Judicial branch (Fed/ State) + LAWFARE types.
Add now external entities: NATO, UN, WHO, WEF, et al.
Add now external players: Soros, Schwab, Big Donors (Dem & Rep), et al.
Add now foreign governments: China, EU, UK, CAN, AU, NZ, Israel, Ukraine, Baltics, Scandinavia, LATAM, ME/Africa/Asia.
Add now Multinational corporations (too many to list).
Good times.
Folks “poached from……”. I’m sure they don’t come cheap and ad “revenue” would not pay their “worth” to twitter. Further evidence the coffee shoppe gets its funding from elsewhere……..and the new hires know this. They can get paid……..private sector coin.
One more reason that I NEVER go to twitter.
Any site that bans my President is somewhere I will not go.
Not to mention the moral sewer that Rush accurately described it as being. It is pretty easy to tell which “patriots” are Twits—snarky and profane posts are the rule.
I present to you the beautiful, 1.5 billion dollar, 1.5 million square foot floor space (making it $1000 per square foot) NSA Utah Data Facility:

Make it your wallpaper to curry favor, comrades:
Complete with its Orwellian slogan:
“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear”.
Yep, because there isn’t a multi-tens-of-thousands-page CFR containing obscure felonies, any one of which could be used, through selective targeting, investigation, and enforcement, to easily destroy someone’s life.
The volume of federal crimes in recent decades has increased well beyond the statute books and into the morass of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), handing federal prosecutors an additional trove of vague and exceedingly complex and technical prohibitions to stick on their hapless targets. The dangers spelled out in Three Felonies a Day do not apply solely to “white collar criminals,” state and local politicians, and professionals. No social class or profession is safe from this troubling form of social control by the executive branch, and nothing less than the integrity of our constitutional democracy hangs in the balance.

So, here’s MY request. Release all of YOUR data.
Power is inflicting pain and humiliation. Otherwise, you cannot be sure. Power is tearing human minds apart and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. Power is not a means, it is an end.
In our world, there will only be triumph and self-abasement. Everything else, we shall destroy. The past is forbidden. Why? Because when we can cut man from his own past then we can cut him from his family, his children, other men.
There is no loyalty, except loyalty to the Party. There is no love, except love of Big Brother. All competing pleasures, we will destroy.
Winston, we shall lift you clean out of history. We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere. Nothing will remain of you. Not a name in a register. Not a memory in a living brain.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever.

And that was your uplifting quote of the day!
and all those workers corrupted Utah
“Over the next few months, the group will add attacker manifestos – often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence – and other publications and links flagged by U.N. initiative Tech Against Terrorism. It will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes, adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.” – Reuters
Notice how BLM and Antifa are missing from the that statement??? Are they on any list from intelligence?? I doubt it!!! “white supremacist” is a euphemism for President Trump’s MAGA supporters and including any whites who aren’t Democrats!
