… And if he does, the outlook is worse.
According to both the Senate Intelligence Committee (SSCI), via Chairman Mark Warner, and the House Intelligence Committee (HPSCI) via Mike Turner, the Chinese social media platform TikTok represents a “national security risk” to the United States. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, soon to be the vice-presidential candidate for the DeSantis-Noem 2024 ticket, has also called TikTok a national security threat and banned it in the state. Now, think about that carefully.
What is it about a social media app allowing short video sharing that would constitute a national security risk? The answer is not about dog and cat videos, or dancing diatribes or funny, weird or goofy content; nor is the national security risk attached to any data of the app users or content providers. The national security risk is found in the ability to influence public opinion that is not under the control of the United States government, or more specifically the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS).
The need for control is a reaction to fear. TikTok, as a social media platform, is not considered a national security threat because the Chinese government can control it. TikTok is considered a national security threat because the United States government does not control it.
For several years CTH has been outlining the relationship between DHS and social media. Currently, the headlines are filled with stories about Twitter and revelations of censorship and government influence coming from the purchase of the platform by Elon Musk. I promise you things are not what they seem.
Let me put some context to the dynamic that will hopefully clarify what is going on, and perhaps the context will help explain what you are seeing and what you are not seeing as this unfolds. There are going to be a lot of citations to fill in the details and understanding the modern Fourth Branch of Government is critical. The bigger picture also explains why SSCI Chairman Mark Warner said “people will die” if the seized Trump Mar-a-Lago documents become public.
♦ Elevator Speech: Twitter is to the U.S. government as TikTok is to China. The overarching dynamic is the need to control public perceptions and opinions. DHS has been in ever increasing control of Twitter since the public-private partnership was formed in 2011/2012. Jack Dorsey lost control and became owner emeritus; arguably, Elon Musk has no idea (you’ll see proof toward the end).
To explain the background activity of Twitter in a way that readers could understand, I used the metaphor of Twitter as Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop.
…”The metaphorical Jack had a great idea, open a coffee shop where the beverages were free and use internal advertising as the income subsidy to operate the business. Crowds came for the free coffee, comfy couches, fellowship, conversation and enjoyment.
It didn’t matter where Jack got the coffee, how he paid for it, or didn’t, or what product advertising the customers would be exposed to while there. Few people thought about such things. Curiously, it didn’t matter what size the crowd was; in the backroom of Jack’s Coffee Shop they were able to generate massive amounts of never-ending free coffee at extreme scales.
Over time, using the justification of parking lot capacity and township regulations, not everyone would be able to park and enter. Guards were placed at the entrance to pre-screen customers. Some were denied. A debate began.”…
Here’s what happened….
In/around 2011 and 2012 the U.S. Government, Obama administration and the U.S. State Dept., came into Jack’s Coffee Shop and asked him for help.
The govt officials needed to deliver massive amounts of coffee to their allies in Egypt, Libya and the middle east to support the Arab Spring party. Jack told the officials he was willing to help but didn’t have the capacity to deliver on that scale. The officials told Jack not to worry, they would handle that aspect – he just needed to agree to the partnership and let them utilize his business. Jack agreed.
[Note, the timing here is not accidental. The operational agreement happened at the same time DHS was fine tuning the domestic surveillance systems to monitor social media platforms and target political opposition. See The Fourth Branch.]
Over the next several weeks, months and eventually years, Jack watched as hundreds of new employees flooded into the business to facilitate the rapid expansion. Along with a myriad of new faces, new equipment was delivered and soon Jack found himself looking at heavy industrial equipment erecting large buildings in the back lots of the property. Coffee urns were replaced with massive industrial coffee delivery systems that far exceeded anything Jack ever imagined.
Business was booming, but slowly Jack realized he had lost control. Jack was riding a dragon.
As the years progressed, thousands of new employees moved into the offices of the new buildings and massive pipelines were producing incredible scales of coffee. Jack noted offices of the United Nations Human Rights Commission were now creating unique blends of coffee for international distribution, and the European Commission had an entire suite of specially trained coffee production engineers creating alternate combinations and flavors.
By 2018 Jack had essentially become an “owner emeritus,” his name was on the shingle, but the day-to-day operation of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop had turned into an industrial park complex.
Jack saw his personal wealth attached to the success of the business, but operationally his only responsibility was traveling to symposiums and venues where he would stand on stage and wax philosophically about the future of a coffee delivery organization he no longer controlled. Day-to-day operations were now controlled by experts in the scale of massive industrial coffee. Those experts came from the Dept of Homeland Security.
[The Intercept] – […] Behind closed doors, and through pressure on private platforms, the U.S. government has used its power to try to shape online discourse. According to meeting minutes and other records appended to a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican who is also running for Senate, discussions have ranged from the scale and scope of government intervention in online discourse to the mechanics of streamlining takedown requests for false or intentionally misleading information.
“Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov’t. It’s really interesting how hesitant they remain,” Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, a former DHS official, texted Jen Easterly, a DHS director, in February.
In a March meeting, Laura Dehmlow, an FBI official, warned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S. government. Dehmlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Twitter and JPMorgan Chase, stressed that “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.” (read more)
To streamline the operational efficiencies as the industrial coffee system grew, direct portals between the Washington DC government offices and Jack’s Magic Coffee shop were created. Officials no longer needed to travel to the location of Jack’s Coffee Shop in order to operate the valves, mixers, grinders and systems to generate the scale of blends being produced.
Experts could now use direct portals to the facility to operate the coffee production systems remotely, with a limited number of specially trained (FBI) coffee engineers doing the laborious tasks and maintenance at the facility.
The badges were intimidating to Jack who went to sleep every night under the realization he no longer had any clue about how the coffee shop communication business was operating.
[…] The extent to which the DHS initiatives affect Americans’ daily social feeds is unclear. During the 2020 election, the government flagged numerous posts as suspicious, many of which were then taken down, documents cited in the Missouri attorney general’s lawsuit disclosed. And a 2021 report by the Election Integrity Partnership at Stanford University found that of nearly 4,800 flagged items, technology platforms took action on 35 percent — either removing, labeling, or soft-blocking speech, meaning the users were only able to view content after bypassing a warning screen. The research was done “in consultation with CISA,” the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Prior to the 2020 election, tech companies including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Verizon Media met on a monthly basis with the FBI, CISA, and other government representatives. According to NBC News, the meetings were part of an initiative, still ongoing, between the private sector and government to discuss how firms would handle misinformation during the election. (keep reading)
After several years of increasing distance from the Coffee Shop operation he initially started, eventually Jack decided it was silly to own an industrial coffee delivery system that he didn’t control. So, Jack decided to sell his shingle to someone else.
Enter, Elon Musk.
Billionaire Elon Musk, a man intimately familiar with large industrial systems and government, had been watching the disgruntled visitors to Jack’s Coffee Shop who were no longer permitted to enter. Musk saw an inequity between the amount of coffee that was available, and the scarcity of the coffee amid a community blacklisted by the operational executives and managers of the shop.
With expressions of both interest and fellowship, Mr. Elon Musk told Mr. Jack Dorsey he would take ownership of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop and remove any discriminatory guards that were now controlling permitted entry. Jack had no aversion to Elon and eventually a deal was brokered.
After the transfer of sale was complete, Mr. Musk fired many of the guards and then set about checking the payroll to identify which group of shop employees were actually involved in the generation of coffee, and which employees were involved in promotion of the industrial coffee delivery system that were no longer needed.
Within this process Elon Musk begins to discover the complex nature of what, at least at the surface, appeared to be an uncomplicated coffee shop. Why is there a 500-room glass walled office building on the backside of the coffee shop? What is going on in that building that has anything to do with selling coffee?
If you’ve read this far, you might think my metaphor is a little over the top. Perhaps you thought that when I originally started saying there was much more to Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop a long time ago.
Well, thankfully, someone of reasonably intelligent curiosity finally asked Elon Musk the right question about this direct portal from DHS into the coffee shop. How Mr. Musk replied might surprise you. You see, the Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop metaphor is evidenced in the Musk response.
Twitter owner Elon Musk has no idea what the DHS portal into the coffee shop is for. WATCH:
.
To put it in brutally honest terms, The United States Dept of Homeland Security is the operating system running in the background of Twitter.
You can debate whether Elon Musk honestly didn’t know all this before purchasing Twitter from his good friend Jack Dorsey, and/or what the scenario of owner/operator motive actually is. Decide for yourself.
For me, I feel confident that all of the conflicting and odd datapoints only reconcile in one direction. DHS, via CISA, controls Twitter.
Wittingly or unwittingly (you decide) Elon Musk is now the face of that govt controlled enterprise.
If you concur with my researched assessment, then what you see being released by Elon Musk in the Twitter Files is actually a filtered outcome as a result of this new ownership dynamic.
Put simply, DHS stakeholders, to include the DOJ, FBI and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), are mitigating any consequential public exposure of their domestic surveillance activity by controlling and feeding Mr. Musk selected information about their prior Twitter operations.
If TikTok is a national security threat, then TikTok is to Beijing as Twitter is to Washington DC.
The larger objective of U.S. involvement in social media has always been monitoring and surveillance of the public conversation, and then ultimately controlling and influencing public opinion.

Why Govt Fears Discovery of Relationship
The outright corruption Elon is facing with Twitter is exactly what Trump had to deal with, except Trump went through a far ranging corruption process than what Elon is exposing or expected.
Difference being Trump couldn’t fire many/any of the denizens there. Government employees etc.
That’s part of the corruption.
maybe Trump needed to start a war with Putin, so we could lose DC and NYC /sarc
Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec are saying that Elon Musk bought a crime scene and not a business. I hope Mr. Musk hears those comments and follows up with them.
That is exactly the comment that has meant the most to me. He purchased a crime scene, but I would say it is a crime scene within a business.
I am hoping that he will not be easily suborned.
a stated sponsored business within a crime scene
also the CCP has definitely captured the hearts and many operations of Tech
The big question is whether CCP has captured most of our govt since they have their agent(s) in the White House vs Z power.

Brilliant comment
One of 15 platforms with various interactions with the Election Integrity Partnership.
https://purl.stanford.edu/tr171zs0069
See page 12 for government and civil society stakeholders that could issue tickets to flag social media platforms and media content for suppression.
Tick Tock was a cooperating platform. See pages 12 and 17.
The Harvard Kennedy School Belfer Center’s Defending Digital Democracy Project (D3P) is a ticket issuing civil society stakeholder. See pg.12.
Here is the co-director of the Belfer Center addressing the SSCI with a discussion of the Defending Digital Democracy Project:
https://www.belfercenter.org/publication/defending-digital-democracy-four-corners-election-security
…”The Defending Digital Democracy Project, a bipartisan initiative I co-lead at Harvard’s Belfer Center along with Robby Mook and Matt Rhoades, is developing real-world, practical solutions to defend against cyber and information attacks. The team has breadth and depth of talent—including cybersecurity experts from government and the private sector, technologists and political operatives.”…
More on D3P and it’s principals:
https://www.belfercenter.org/publication/belfer-center-launches-defending-digital-democracy-project-fight-cyber-attacks-and
…”The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School launched a new, bipartisan initiative today called the “Defending Digital Democracy” (DDD) Project. Co-led by the former campaign managers for Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney and experts from the national security and technology communities, including Facebook and Google, the project aims to identify and recommend strategies, tools, and technology to protect democratic processes and systems from cyber and information attacks”…
…”Co-sponsored by two other Harvard Kennedy School entities – the Institute of Politics and the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy directed by Nicco Mele – the project will be run by Eric Rosenbach, Co-Director of the Belfer Center and former Assistant Secretary of Defense. Prior to his July 2015 appointment as Chief of Staff to Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, Rosenbach served as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security.
Rosenbach recruited Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, and Matt Rhoades, Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign manager, to join DDD as Fellows and co-leaders.”…
…”The Project has enlisted Marc Elias of Perkins Cole and Ben Ginsberg of Jones Day, two of the top respective Democratic and Republican election lawyers in the country, to advise the project, along with a bipartisan senior advisory group made up of leaders in technology, cyber security, and national security, including:
Heather Adkins, Director, Information Security and Privacy – Google;
Dmitri Alperovich, Co-Founder and CTO – CrowdStrike;
Stuart Holliday, President and CEO – Meridian International Center; former United States Ambassador for Special Political Affairs at the United Nations;

Debora Plunkett, former Director – National Security Agency’s Information Assurance Directorate;
Suzanne E. Spaulding, former Under Secretary – National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) at the Department of Homeland Security.
Alex Stamos, Chief Security Officer – Facebook.”…
Damn that mini-swamp right there.
Quite the rock to turn over, eh?
anyone who uses the term “stakeholder” is worthy of immediate suspicion.
That’s their word, quoted from the document.
i’m not ‘suspicious”of your excellent comments.
“stakeholder” is a contrived meme to give socialist-type “rights” (without ownership or responsibility) which are exercised by self-appointed ‘spokespersons’ for the contrived or even imaginary ‘stakeholders’
So why is Tic Tock a national security risk now, if they were a partner in the election integrity/security solution, with full knowledge of the SSCI?
Partnering with a CCP platform to moderate content, (removal of content deemed offensive, and promotion of preferred content), to protect the security and integrity of our elections.
Foreign influence, anyone?
partial or full capture, company by company
It’s a murderers row of villains.
The key word here is “bipartisan” which means we are being screwed by both sides. I’ve always felt that there is so little push-back from key Republican politicians because they equally benefit from the DC corruption. Same for election integrity issues in various states. Republican led state legislatures don’t fight against mostly Democrat cheating because they too have benefited at some time, and if they fight someone will expose their collusion.
It was a uniparty op, with evidence that they partnered with a CCP controlled platform.
Even worse, the Belfer Center D3P is a “civil society” partner of the Stanford Freeman-Spogli Institute Election Integrity Project (EIP). See link to report:
https://purl.stanford.edu/tr171zs0069
Michael McFaul is the Director of the Freeman-Spogli Institute.
https://fsi.stanford.edu/people/michael_a_mcfaul
In August 2022, McFaul was awarded an honorarium by Zelenski:
https://fsi.stanford.edu/news/fsi-director-michael-mcfaul-honored-government-ukraine-state-award
Along with …”Christiane Amanpour, Anderson Cooper, and Jake Tapper; actors and directors Sean Penn and Ben Stiller; members of the bands Imagine Dragons and U2; and director of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, Peter Gelba.”…
…”The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, presented awards to world politicians, businessmen, and artists, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, and Baykar CEO Haluk Bayraktar.”…
…”The President of the European Council Charles Michel, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic Mario Draghi, the founder of the charity organization World Central Kitchen José Andreas Puerta, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces Mark Milley, the actors Ben Stiller and Liev Schreiber”…
(Do these honorariums come with a monetary award?)
https://babel.ua/en/news/83641-volodymyr-zelenskyy-awarded-state-awards-to-world-politicians-businessmen-and-artists
And this is looking more and more like uniparty extortion:
i would say that the firing of james baker(who was allegedly the filter for what was released) is a major step in breaking down this dynamic…..
this isn
t a coffee shop..this is a social media behemoth and it isnt going to be set right with a snap of one`s fingers…..all due respect to our gracious and wise host……we need to to be a little more circumspect with the circular firing squad mentality…musk is working hard to try and unmuddle the near-unmuddleable(which looks to entail mass employee turnover)……we need to give him some leeway(theres plenty of time for recriminations if this thing goes way off course)…
give the man a chance…
And how’s that gonna make us feel when we get it run up our caboose again? I’ll believe it when actual stuff starts getting fixed. Otherwise this cat remains well,,,skeptical.,
I won’t be happy until I see people, actual people, hundreds of people being marched into prisons.
thousands of commie, CCP agents and traitors to Constitutional government and our Rights.
As you should. After this last farce of an election, where the status quo was supposedly all but maintained despite having a demented fool as pResident and the worst economy since Jimmy Carter, I don’t believe ANYTHING the Government says anymore. Lord, if only President Trump had been able to get even ONE honest and uncorrupted Attorney General!
baker the communist is the front office to the 1000 story glass house building in the back. 1 down and 30000 to go…
Pretty sure James Baker was caught destroying evidence! That what I heard. It’s not like he isn’t a simple criminal. A crook.
actually a traitor, also involved in the coup operation
In hindsight James Baker should have been the first one fired by Musk. Baker was a first class mole at Twitter, but can you even call him a mole because other execs that were fired or left knew he was really an agent of our totalitarian government and his purpose was to watch out for the government institutions.
Baker may have a hard time finding employment in the business sector after this…..
I’ll be 1st to say this:
“Baker did not commit suicide.”
He just go right back to gooberment.
Nope. He has 14 other platforms, and untold other career opportunities with the stakeholders, sponsoring institutions, and law firms of the uniparty election integrity partnership.
only if he’s to be deposed under a likelihood of prison
Even in the private sector you need cause to fire. It seems it took a bit to find that cause for Baker. Or Musk set a trap for Baker to see what he’d lead them to.
Meybe someday we’ll find out.
Don’t forget about Yoel Roth he leads to the Atlantic Council/NATO, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CIA), CISA, FBI.
Here is a report of the multiple Twitter hires from the FBI, CIA, NATO and the Atlantic Council prior to Elon ownership:
https://therealnews.com/twitter-is-hiring-an-alarming-number-of-fbi-agents
Don’t forget the Intel plants at MSM, and then consider a second look at the government, civil society, social media platforms, and media stakeholders of the Stanford Freeman-Spogli Institute Election Integrity Partnership. See report linked above, pg 12.
How many other hires/plants across the 15 platforms? Twitter is the tip of the iceberg.
It sounded to me that Musk is an old time liberal and thought that liberals were in favor of free speech and that conservatives were against. So he released these things to the Liberals thinking they were on his side. He may be very smart in IQ statistics but I’m not so sure how smart he is and political realities today. I haven’t drawn any conclusions about him one way or the other. He may just want to stay alive.
Back when the twitter trade with Musk kicked off, an anonymous writer going by the name Z-MAN was writing really hard hitting stuff at taki’s magazine: https://www.takimag.com/
At the time of the Musk twitter trade, Z-MAN wrote a very concise summary of why oligarch Musk would not be allowed to change much of anything at twitter. I was gonna post the link to that article here at CTH but guess what? Everything, everything that Z MAN wrote about anything has been scrubbed from taki’s magazine. Even the Z-MAN himself has vanished. No notice. No word. Nothing. Just gone baby gone. This chit is getting dead serious real fast.
Much like “The Resister: The Special Forces Underground”, ask around. Someone will know where to look.

Here is what happened to ZMan; the capitalist bug got him and he wanted to be paid for his terrific thoughts. Can’t really blame the man. Taki does not pay for columns. That why free things are free.

For once, I might actually pay for Substack content. The man has a trenchant observation on many things, regardless of what a bunch of SPLC losers might think.
So, Elon Musk accidentally bought the Deep States system of Mass Industrial Corruption?
B. U. L. L. S. H. I. T
Musk wants to data subscription and social marketing contracts and subsidies.
He wants Conservative Inc back on the platform so he can social market Economic MAGA Trump base to Cultural MAGA globalist friendly Ron Noem
Musk might not know the details, but he sure as hell knew the big picture.
You don’t become the worlds richest person and the USA govts biggest contractor and accidentally spend 48bn.
Its Phoenix time. Burn down the old Twitter, and rise up the new Twitter.
Same bird
Agreed… All of these Twitter files “sunlight shedding” seem to be too little, too late and very much scripted
Common sense dictates that the current drama is a precursor to the stage where Hunter Biden is indicted .. after which Trump is indicted or even arrested… “Blind justice” and all
I never thought that the US DoJ could get so thoroughly exposed as so fundamentally corrupt … This will not end well
mac: “Ron Noem.” That’s funny.
The Ron Noem idea…one thing that stands out to me is that they both have a similar flavor, Noem longer than the other…
Agreed. He knows what he bought, exactly what he bought. Especially “control” of others across the entire spectrum. Plenty of lemmings are tied to twitter (Baker) and he knows the Hollywood lemmings dumping him have no impact on his end game. Amazing times.
So I wonder how Mr. Musk’s developing ‘neural netting’ figures in all of this.
New Darpa Tool, same as the Old Darpa Tool??
This is where my ‘Trust in MUSK’ falters..
👊👊👊
Twitter and Musk have become the Sean Hannity of Social Media. Drip, drip, drip.
The act of censoring or filtering is just one side of the coin. The other side are the bot armies and paid influencers, creating a completely distorted perception of a one-sided groundswell of progressivism. I hate the censorship, but I hate what fills the vacuum even more.
Limbaugh said that his research showed that 10 people can make themselves look like thousands and that is how they attacked his sponsors in an effort to shut him down. Twitter has been presenting a distorted image of America’s political opinions.
Yes, musk may have had NO IDEA what he was buying, or taking on when he bought Twitter.
I honestly doubt that PDJT really understood what HE was taking on, when he descended the escalator, either.
Did any of us, REALLY fully anticipate the unrelenting attacks, from ALL sides, that candidate and then PDJT would have to endure?
NOT equating musk with PDJT, but similarly I don’t think Elon fully realised the tiger he had grabbed by the tail. However, now that he has grabbed it, I don’t think he can let go.
The Globalists will try to stop Musk “by any means necessary”, and they will resist his efforts, and use the power of the Government to thwart him.
If Musk succeeds in truly doing a forensic analyses if the crime scene he purchased, and making the results public, it COULD be far bigger than the DCCC and Clinton campaign emails, that Assange published, and look what they did to Julian.
It would be really cool if four or five MILLION U.S. twitter subscribers and Musk supporters who love free speech were to descend on twitter headquarters and haul the monsters out into the street for a public flogging. Would the U.S. Marines be called in? The National Guard? Armed IRS agents? Who would be defending whom and from what? Good questions.
maybe or maybe not….Musk had to have a better idea, being the huge purchaser of government contracts? I am still skeptical on the Musk deal.
I think this is a ‘oh look, squirrel’ thing. The bigger shiny thing for me, is a ‘relationship’ with RDS, for access to the “Space Coast” of Florida.
More and more, the evidence revealed is Twitter has been a massive spy tool of the United States government. It was masquerading as a social media outlet but it has been the most vile of Internet threats to liberty in America and the world.
It appears Federal employees of the FBI and other three-letter tyrants have been controlling this tool and shutting down any free speech critical of the same self-serving government scoundrels.
These America-hating criminals have been using Twitter to destroy the U.S. Constitution and chase down and destroy those in opposition to their relentless tyranny.
It’s not just Twitter.
15 platforms have some level of interaction and/or cooperation with government Intel in the interest of national security.
The Twitter “back door” communications leads back to CISA…Chris Krebs. The traitor who was in charge of election integrity in 2020.
“The most secure election in history” my ass.
An easy interpetation guide: Tangiers Casino=Twitter. Philip Green=Jack Doresy. James Baker=Sam “Ace” Rothstein. The Mob=The Deep state.
I believe that the 1st experiment was OWS (Occupy Wall Street).
That is the moment that the Hashtag became weaponized. People forget but in that Fall of 2011 it was amazing to see a movement spread across the entire country. I do not think it was an experiment by the US Government, but I do believe in that moment they saw how powerful social media was beginning to become. And shortly thereafter is when the identity politics movement began. I do not think it’s a coincidence in less than a year after the movement to go after the 1% that all of these psy-ops began where people started to go after each other and not the 1%.
You’re welcome Dr. Shiva.
Sundance,
Yes I feel your metaphor is just slightly over the top. BUT I share your concern about Musk motives vis a vis DHS. However, I just cannot erase the vision of those red dots dancing all over Elon Musk’s face. God Bless You Both!
If this is true, then what role does DHS play in allowing kiddy porn to thrive on the Jack Dorsey era Twitter? They had to know, since they are plugged into every aspect of Twitter.
Also, is this the reason that Elon was a bit freaked out by the artificialness of Twitter’s user count? Did he uncover something that DHS used to inflate users and perpetrate ai hoaxes in support of favored users and against the unfavored? Is that what Elon really discovered?
Kiddie porn is one way that the globalists work to destroy the family and moral values.
.
Yes… and/or it just isn’t something they really giveash about. It’s just a peg to hand 230 on which has facilitated censorship.
.
Oh they give a care about child exploitation.
It is an income, a pleasure, a blackmail, transplants, adrenochrome.
Where’s all the children from the border ?
Why do they allow cartels to claim them, rather than the families ?
.
Maybe he got fed up with trying to tell the government overlords that their going green machinery was not ready for prime-time and noticed that any urgency to re-evaluate (public statements are all to the contrary — perhaps Elon noticed some of his comments wrt same we’re not getting any Twitter traction) what they are asking him to do with Tesla and Space X in that regard was going to lead him to financial ruin, so he invested in a company he thought could keep his return on all investments.
I don’t know.
It’s like the feds have, seemingly, every mass shooter on their radar. For their own reasons. Leverage and tools?
Who do you think facilitates a lot of the human trafficking?
I find it hard to believe a veteran WEF sponsored “Young Global Leader” like Musk would not know what he was getting into. I still dont know why he would have even been allowed to purchase Twitter if he was a potential threat to the cabal.
I do know however, speech about election fraud is still being censored on Twitter and there is nothing more important then that. Watch out for those shiny things.
Musk is not a free enterprise entrepreneur. Musk is an oligarch. His billion dollar risks are taken with taxpayer dollahs. Profitable in the short term but a real dead end in the long run. Wisdom and greed are not only incompatible, they are antithetic.
and the assets, facilities, intellectual property and core technology he was granted were paid for by the US taxpayer. Much much more to Musk than meets the eye.
To put it more simply, he is bought and paid for, by US.
Consider, “W” pushed the public-private partnership. To me, most notable is the NASA competitor…SpaceX…another “Disruptive Competitor”.
And about the comment re Ron Noem…..isn’t Noem a Weffie?
Actually the app is banned for use on state government phones because the captures everything from what’s on every app on the phone to what’s gong on around the phone and sends it back to the CCP. Trump warned everyone years ago along with Huawei
Interesting.
So what would a partnership between a US election integrity intel operation and CCP platform administrators yield in terms of compromising data that could threaten national security?
Trump junior. Just as smart or smarter. Time will tell.
Which brings to mind…I am of the opinon that the Trump fortunes were made by grit and hard work. Musk? Feeding at the government trough…?
”
Brings to mind the old john Houseman commercial for a 1970’s investment house: “We make money the old fashioned way, we earn it.”
I knew the government controlled Twitter, and I’m just some guy. How could Elon not know?
Here’s a spoiler for you: Government control of Twitter is/was no different from government control of every other msm outlet
If Musk has shrugged at the DHS control of Twitter … then why did he just FIRE that creepy scorn lawyer, Jim Baker? And if he FIRED the scorn creep … then doesn’t that mean Musk will soon be releasing the Twitter docs withheld by Baker? I don’t believe Musk is going to shrug this off.
If Baker was scrutinizing the release, why did he release documents that implicated himself?
Musk knew exactly what he was buying. I honestly think he wanted to expose it all. He was not invited to that White House summit of electric car makers and he was pissed. He has zero love for Democrats and the government. The minute he offered to buy twitter he started pushing people to vote Republican and started talking about free speech. He even tweeted about voting Republican for the first time. I think he wanted a Republican congress so when he exposed it they would investigate. He released all this stuff only a month after buying the company. This was one of his priorities. I am convinced this was one of the main reasons he bought twitter.

OT is AZ Atty Gen Brnovich afraid? He looks afraid, and sounds afraid. And angry. Twitter link

Someone in the thread said it looks like he’s signing under duress. Others think he knows they stole it (and who doesn’t?), and that he’s angry and afraid of someone much higher up than Hobbs.
I agree. Seriously afraid, probably for not only his own life…
I had been wondering if Elon’s purchase was a Trojan horse. I’m sure a lot of America Firsters left Twitter for Parler, Telegram, Truth and gettr. What better way to get everyone back under one stop surveillance? I read the terms of service and I’m not going back.
Breathtaking information and insight…
I got my advanced degree in political science from Sundance University…
In case anyone hasn’t noticed, there are a swarm of ‘Elon is controlled by gubmint’ trolls here on these threads pertaining to E.Musk’s acquisition of twitter. That fact alone, tells me that he isn’t (yet) controlled, and is a threat to the DC Cartel.
there’s a lot of concerned speculation here, people trying to inform themselves of possibilities, after being burned many times
I think DHS hired Elon to do a “face lift”. He is selling the idea that twitter is now “free speech”. It isn’t actually free speech but they can give a few inches now for appearances and then over time pull back to what it originally was.

They haven’t banned TikTok, though. Makes me wonder if they’ll push to ban twitter, first.
If Musk only had curiosity for this before, he needs its’ attention asap.
Sorry SD, Musk knows exactly what he bought. He needs the portal to continue to exist. There are strong signals musk acquired Twitter in order to pivot it to a money processing firm. Imagine a competitor to the Fed but with crypto currency complete with social credit scores.
Musk was PayPal, forced out before technology could support his vision. The tech is now there. Project “x” which he bought back from PayPal in 2017 is about ready for launch (2023).
Wells Fargo and others would not be piloting their social credit system for 12 weeks if this was not the direction, endorsed / supported by the US gov.
It’s a race…
This guy has a point

essentially – each person that stands up against this system doesnt actually know how big this system is – they may have an idea but until they are doing it live its just theory and planning.
We know who is bad only by watching PDJT and others go through it and we support how we can.
Many people look a gift horse in the mouth.
Disagreements are one thing, but is it really necessary to insult our host?

”Put simply, DHS is mitigating any consequential public exposure by controlling and feeding Mr. Musk selected information about prior Twitter operations.”
In other words, the DHS is conducting a limited hangout with/for the ‘New Owner’ of the magic propaganda machine?
That’s what I consider a worse outcome …
So now that all Americans are seeing DC’s true involvement in censoring free speech and controlling the narrative prior to a federal election, then……..
Why is it hard to accept massive money laundering, trafficking and yes even intentional death and harm via a vaccine by so many in DC?
Maybe the greatest criminal conspiracy network that has ever existed.
Elon and the Twitter files is just step one of this massive criminal conspiracy network.
I follow a lot of Twitter accounts in English re: the War in Ukraine. Since Musk began his alleged decensorship campaign, I have curiously noted that pro-Russian twitter accounts are increasingly coming under more censorship in the past few weeks, from outright bans, to warning labels, to masking tweets as only for 18 year old eyes. This flies in the face of Musk’s campaign and ostensible message to Twitter content moderators to lighten up. So then, who is censoring this content? A backdoor into Twitter’s content moderation code by the US Government starts to make a lot of sense. Musk likely has a huge intentional interference claim against the US and fraud claims against previous directors/mgmt.
Repost from previous page, in case you missed it… Taibbi follows up with “Twitter Files Supplemental”…
That bridge, if you will to the DHS was James Baker. Now FORMER employee of Twitter. Much is about to flood out the gates. The DS is losing control.
I wanna know who the hell is Carol Crawford at the CDC, and I want to know her position, and I want to know every single account and tweet she flagged for censorship, and I want to know if she spread lies or suppressed truth in ways that caused people to die, or to die alone hooked up to a ventilator, and then I want her arrested, tried for her crimes, and sentenced to life imprisonment -preferably in solitary confinement.

Scum of the earth.
A simple Google search states she is (or was) the CDC’s Digital Media Chief. Well go figure. Censorship point man for misinformation.
I always said to people when asked my opinion about that Snowden guy “if you needed Snowden to tell you what the US government was doing, you haven’t been paying attention”.
Twitter is no different just another avenue for the government to surveil citizens for unsavory thoughts about their government.
Snowden brought a first hand view that was not available to most people without a BSEE, reading trade pubs.
The thing is we’re awake now.We don’t trust anyone in any position of power.
Elon comes across at first blush as honest and trustworthy.
The deep state got away with a lot of shenanigans but the veil has slipped and we know now what they’re up to.
Maybe he’s a means for them to get their cloak back.
No matter what Elon’s motives are they’ll have leverage over him. Bannon says Twitter is tiddlywinks, its the starlink transhumanism weird stuff that he has his sights set on.
That’s my take on it.
Uh, private business. DHS may be in the back room, but they cannot openly reveal that now can they?
So Musk can either go nuclear or play ball with them.
Pass the popcorn, please.
This just convinces me more and more that there’s only one solution … and it’s not 1st Amendment, law enforcement, the FBI and DOJ, the courts, the Congress, the media or the military.
Musk wittingly purchased a Crime Scene.
