The latest release of information behind the controversial “Twitter Files”, comes from Bari Weiss complete with the strategic promotion of a new website [The Free Press] launching via the booster provided by their access to the internal Twitter documents.
Curiously intelligent people will note the Weiss website is structured to support the 2024 presidential bid of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is, not coincidentally, riding atop a multi-staged booster guided by Elon Musk and fueled by Wall Street billionaires.
For the moment, just note and I digress – but please do not miss the connections.
As noted by the former New York Times journalist, Ms. Weiss states, “the [website] authors have broad and expanding access to Twitter’s files. The only condition we agreed to was that the material would first be published on Twitter.” You can read the entire Twitter Thread Here, and with that, we look at what the current narrative consists of.
Overall, the story as released walks through the process that Twitter used to control users and as a consequence control the flow of information on the platform. Accounts were subject to restrictions, manipulations and other inorganic engagement controls depending on the ideology of the content being provided.
Twitter had teams set up to attach limiting flags within the Twitter platform that would essentially hide content the platform control officers did not want to see reaching a wider audience. As noted by Twitter employees Weiss writes, “we control visibility quite a bit. And we control the amplification of your content quite a bit. And normal people do not know how much we do,” one Twitter engineer told us. Two additional Twitter employees confirmed.”
What I find interesting is in segment/tweet #12 where Ms. Weiss reveals the existence of the top tier of Twitter control officers. “The group that decided whether to limit the reach of certain users was the Strategic Response Team – Global Escalation Team, or SRT-GET. It often handled up to 200 “cases” a day.”
I find it curious that Ms Bari Weiss mentioned several names in her expose’ yet failed to mention the name or curriculum vitae of the head for the Strategic Response Team, a fellow named Jeff Carlton.
Like former CIA head Mike Pompeo, Mr Jeff Carlton was a former U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer responsible for briefing White House officials where his responsibilities included his former work within the FBI counterintelligence division and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Apparently, these intelligence skillsets transferred nicely to his position as the head of Twitter’s Strategic Response Team.

You can decide why Ms. Weiss failed to identify this intelligence operative, again – I digress. However, all of these revelations only align in one direction.
In the background of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop (aka Twitter), was a system set up by the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security.
Controlling information, and ultimately shaping public opinion, was/is the primary responsibility of this internal Twitter network that was/is operating in a public-private partnership with the United States Government.
I have yet to see a single data point from any release that runs counter to the basic outline, in the background of Twitter you find DHS.
Twitter is simply a discovery vector to reveal the larger dynamic of DHS being in control of social media. That was the DHS/ODNI problem James Baker was trying to mitigate by his filtration of the released documents. The “Twitter files” are one tentacled element in a much larger story.
#1 Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop and #2 The Fourth Branch of Government
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. And with that intelligence framework solidly in mind, I warn readers not to take a position on the motive of the new ownership.
Put simply, DHS stakeholders, to include the DOJ, FBI and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), are mitigating public exposure of their domestic surveillance activity by controlling and feeding 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.

Given that the Free Press got the 2022 midterm election so wrong, I don’t plan on wasting much time on their website.
This is from a Free Press article on the failure of Trump’s red wave. 30 paragraphs later there is a mention of some election machine irregularities in Maricopa County. We left thinking that Bill Barr must have been right that there is no fraud in our elections. Obviously the Free Press is more interested in maintaining the big lie that there is no election fraud than reporting the truth. So much for being the “bedrock of journalism.” Long live the Conservative Treehouse where you can find real journalism every day!
“It was supposed to be a “red tsunami.”
Not just a wave. And not just the House. But the Senate, the governorships, and state legislatures. We were told it would be the end of the politics of race, gender fluidity, drag queen brunches, undocumented workers, homeless encampments, Dr. Fauci, ESG, RINOs—followed by the rebirth of America First: Donald Trump’s announcement that he would run for president; his 2024 victory; and a nationwide, political realignment, which would be metabolic….
That’s not what happened.
First, a couple of embattled, moderate Democrats won reelection in the House, starting with Elissa Slotkin in Michigan, then Abigail Spanberger in Virginia. Then, Democrats won gubernatorial elections in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania—the better to rebuild the once-mighty blue wall. Then the networks called it for John Fetterman, the Democrat running against Dr. Oz for the Senate in Pennsylvania…. “
Keep in mind Spanberger is a former CIA spook. They have worked hard to keep her in congress. She has done nothing but vote party line. Look for her to pop up as the next Nancy
No longer about issues its about ballots per Sundance…The Warlords in deep inner cities paid with Soros Zuckerberg SBF bucks to pay for ballots and Mules.Just like they do in Africa. And the under 30 crowd brainwashed in the US education system run by marxist what could go wrong?
Mostly machines. Even if ballots were eradicated, the machines can dump as many illegal votes as they need at the click of a mouse.
Yeah. Sydney Powell had a court exhibit in the 2020 election that showed a 781% registered voter turnout in one city in Michigan. Detroit had a 140% voter turnout. The Allied Security Operations Group found over 3,000 precincts in Michigan where the presidential votes cast compared to the estimated registered voters from the Secretary of State was from 99% all the way up to 350%. There were reports that AZ, GA, MI, MN, NC, NV, and WI counted more presidential votes in 2020 than registered voters. But there is nothing to see here. Bondo Bill Barr said there was no election fraud.
Apparently, Stoltenberg (R-IA) was just elected after handcount proved more “correct” than the original machine count. Goes along with your comments. I thought “they” told us that machines were more accurate than hand counts.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/republican-wins-house-election-11-votes-recount-machine-count-declared-democrat-winner-hand-count-revealed-republican-won/
No, that is an inherent misunderstanding that THEY want us to believe, that simply IS NOT TRUE.
IF they could simply push a button, and create 50,000 VOTES, they would not be expending LOTS of “dark” $, to finance ballot harvesting operations, use Covid to justify mass mail out BALLOTS, etc.
We have seen their “standard playbook” time and time again.
When WE advance some “inconveniant (to them) truth”, first they ignore (MSM -0- coverage) and suppress (thru Big tech) any discussion.
IF, despite that our truth begins to resonate, they then aknowledge but dismiss as “conspiracy theory”.
When THAT no longer works, they switch to “controlled release with spin”; and once they reached that point with ballot fraud, they promulgated this lie that with machines, ALL is possible.
After all, IF it were true, there would be NO pointbin voting R, cause they can generate as many D votes as they need.
ITS NOT TRUE, and by posting this here, where 100,000+ pairs of eyes SEE it, and some believe it, you are doing the enemies work FOR them.
LEARN how ELECTION fraud, which is manipulating the election process, to control the results, WORKS.
REMEMBER, Sundance has explained, its about BALLOTS, …NOT votes or voters.
VOTES is the tally, BALLOTS are pieces of paper.
They can not get VOTES, without initially having a piece if paper; and INITIALLY, in order to put that piece of paper into a machine, it needs to be associated with a NAME, that is on the voter rolls.
Understand, elections are ACTUALLY conducted by COUNTIES.
County elections depts have a small, core staff that “oversees” a large TEMPORARY staff they hire as short term temporary employees, every two years.
SOME are the paid “volonteers” that greet you at the polls when you vote in person.
Others are in the tabulation centers, feeding ballots into machines, AFTER they go thru the validation process, which means (with poll watchers watching) they check the name on the envelope, make sure it aligns with a name on the voter rolls, use a machine (which CAN be set to approve ANY signature) to compare the lsignature on the envelope with a signature on file at DMV and only THEN open the envelope and scan the enclosed ballot into the machine.
In most counties, they can not have all of these temporary workers “in on” the ballot fraud, although yes, in some corrupt big cities SOME of the actual workers, especially supervisors are “in on it”.
Recall the ‘water main break’ and the suitcases of ballots dragged out and scanned’?
They first got EVERYBODY, not just poll watchers, but other election workers as well OUT of the counting center, first.
Please, either edumacate yourself on the details of HOW the BALLOT fraud actually WORKS, or quit commenting on it, and giving resonance to the lieing spin promoted by our enemies.
Just pushing a button to create VOTES, would be VOTE FRAUD; and what we are talking about with the Steal is by and large BALLOT fraud; THATS why theycexpend so much effort and $ to clog the voter rolls with phantom NAMES of VOTERS, SO THAT they can create phantom voter BALLOTS.
WHY would they BOTHER with all that, if they could just push a button?
You mean like the story about the USPS truck driver who’s trailer disappeared supposedly full of PA ballots picked up in NY in 2020?
Okay so how did we get 140% voter turnout in Detroit. Not the first year it has happened….guess the names don’t have to be on the voter list….
The problem we have is we want one problem so we can solve it . These basters are using a shotgun approach. Printing presses machines vote fraud, harvesting, destruction of votes. They do it all shut down one and they gin up the rest.
When we point it out they demand us to choose one and then they say we’ll even if blah blah happened it wouldn’t be enough to sway elections. We move to the next and they tell us we had our chance.
It’s not one thing it’s all things
FjB. F them all
Exactly. They know the machines have been found out. Now they go to the voter rolls that have hundreds of thousands of phony “voters” All they need know is the printer standing by waiting for the order of how many ballots are needed. Then just park them wherever. Pull out as needed. you can’t get away from “Its the people who get to count the votes that matter”
It is why democrats control the process.
“If you do not embrace, with both arms, that Leftists and RINOs use a multi-faceted, 40 years-in-the-making, industrial-scale voter fraud system, centering on voter roll tampering and manipulation, aided by elected officials, NGOs, protected by the mainstream press and conservative controlled opposition, you cannot be part of its remediation.”

100’s of ways to cheat👍🏻
What rolles produce the ballots the voter rolls as per gateway pundit it’s like the chicken or the egg which came first voter rolls or the ballot and who services the voter rolls in 29 states Eric George Soros funded The game is not collect ballots The game is collect the voter rolls.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/election-fraud-voter-roll-manipulation-not-ballot-gathering/
Those elections were STOLEN!
Come on man, next time I promise. “I won’t beat you, I won’t hit you ever again.”
Now, look at the sheer will power and courage of a person who dispatches the abuser or even leaves with nothing but clothes on their back. It’s when you realize “it ain’t you it’s them and there is no remorse or desire to stop kicking your azz, they like it.”
If the 70,000,000 fell on their knees and prayed, repented and asked for help………..there would be a tsunami. Not some pink slip, a real move of heaven and earth.
Voting is useless, say it again “voting is useless”, a total waste of needed time and effort. If you want to “throw sand in the machine” void every election until they fix it, or we go head to head with this evil. Stuff the boxes with ballots, mail in millions. Stop listening to politicians who have no answers or solutions, they are causing this mess.
Like carrying a hand gun, if you are not prepared for the consequences when you pull it don’t carry. Same here, understand that this beast will attack and destroy everything it can until it is put down, so don’t start unless you want that fight, most will not ever engage for exactly that reason. The water is just right here in the pot.
My advice is the simplest easiest way but, all the responsibility falls on every individual, as it should and factually is now. Let God have our nation. Repent, pray, fast, give God his reverence and honor and follow his instructions. Or not! It’s a choice. I prefer to let God do the heavy lifting, he promised he would if we would “come back to our first love.” I’m sick and weary from this sack of liars, are you?
“My advice is the simplest, easiest way,..”
And THAT, right therevis the inherent weakness of your advice.
WAY too many of us, programmed by the boob tube to expect resolution at the end of “the show” and impatient with no quick resolution, and lazy, due to a lifetime of having civilisation provide all of the necessities if life, are A) expecting somebody ELSE to do it, without having to actually do any work, and B) with limited to no understanding of HOW the system works, and HOW it has been corrupted, then throw up their hands and give up.
You do not “throw sand in the gears” by disengaging.
You do not WIN the battle or war, by declaring yourself a non-combatant “conscientious objector”.
And you can NOT call yourself a “Trump supporter” or an America First, MAGA Patriot, while registering as an “Independant” or deciding not to vote at all, or rediculously suggesting somehow creating millions of bogus ballots and shoving them in, like a child having a tantrum, and threatening to hold its breathe till it gets its way.
Children allow their emotions to dictate their actions.
Adults LEARN to control their emotions, SO THAT they can use logic, critical thinking etc. to arrive at sound decisions on a coarse of action.
WE the MAGA movement are (politically speaking) young and inexperienced.
WE fell for an old, oft used political ploy, its called “the expectations game”.
WE should (in hindsight) have recognised it for what it was, based on the source.
It was the MSM, that 6-8 months before the midterms, began beating the incessant drums of a “Red wave” and even “Red tsunami”, even as the RNC worked hard in every way they could to try to undermine MAGA Candidates.
And now they continue to work together, to try to promote the false narrative (yet ANOTHER one!) that the reason MAGA Candidates didn’t win, is because they are “too extreme to appeal to Indies and moderate Dems”.
They build up an unrealisticly high expectation, on the one hand, so that whatever actual wins we have are overshadowed, while simultaneously working to insure our wins are minimised, and then blame us for the losses.
We got “played”; we ‘fell’ for it, because we WANTED to believe.
Hopefully, like the song “We won’t be fooled, Agaaaaaiiin!”
At least NOT with “the expectations game” ploy.

You can decide why Ms. Weiss failed to identify this intelligence operative, again – I digress. However, all of these revelations only align in one direction.
OK, let me take a swing.
As noted by the former New York Times journalist, Ms. Weiss states, “the [website] authors have broad and expanding access to Twitter’s files. The only condition we agreed to was that the material would first be published on Twitter.”
Any thoughts of her being on the FBI payroll now, or in the past? I bet she has NDAs with the IC community and this would have crossed the line.
I think it’s more like NSL’s that have been used against Elon and company. But I’ve never heard of this Weiss gal.
Please stop using abbrebiations that other people are not familiar with. I have no idea what you mean by “NSL.” Your opinion or assessment falls on deaf ears when people can’t translate what you are referring to.
‘N’ational ‘S’ecurity ‘L’etters’.. ??
Thank you! It’s a real issue with me, too. Why hide non-familiar acronyms?
Please stop using abbrebiations that other people d0 not know readily. I know what NDA and IC stand for but a lot of people do not. Your opinion and/or assessment falls on deaf ears when people can’t translate what you are referring to.
Sundance nails it once again with the most important story of the year.
The only reason that our President Trump and his MAGA army have been losing elections and taking such a beating is because the Government controls the media.
I think it’s great that the Twitter files are being released but it really is controlled opposition.
Neither Musk, Weiss or Taibbi are friends of MAGA and as far as I’m concerned that shows where there bias lies.
They have their reasons for the big reveal but they have nothing to do with saving our once great Country from the evil that’s befallen us.
Yep. This is all theatre
I can buy that
Yup. I’m amazed at all the conservatives rushing back to Twitter. Stupid. Just one more way to track and market to you. IMHO
Oh, but according to many people here, we ALL need to jump into the Twitter sewer and float along with the turds.
No, thank you.
I’ve wondered if Gab has been losing people. Catturd rarely posts there anymore.
If people abandon our alternative platforms to rush back to Twitter. where will people turn when those platforms go under and Twitter eventually turns out to be what it always was?
No and that’s a good thing isn’t it? To know that there are liberals out there that can see the fraud going on is something to be optimistic about, not cynical.
Not really. The reason for the election losses cannot be media control because we know that many of the key losses, most notably the steal of the presidency in 2020, were the products of engineered voter fraud.
If media control were more than just an ancillary issue, one which got many people to vote based on false information but which only influenced a select group, then Trump would not have won in 2020, forcing his election to be stolen, and Kari Lake would not have suffered the same fate. Just to name what are perhaps the most prominent examples.
I agree. To blame election loss on only censorship of conservative media, is to deny election fraud and corruption of ballots and voter registration.
Let’s be clear, when the KKKrooked “media” is allowed to call OUR elections the losses are “media controlled”.
AP calls the races and once called they are “locked in”. After that you are accused of trying to overthrow a democracy, or an election denier. You can find it in one place only, court. And you will lose, lose, lose and lose again and again. And you can lose your law license and so much more.
https://apnews.com/article/ap-explains-race-calls-0b1988605f9101f4b799fc63b01e0090
It’s also very handy for the UNIParty, because they don’t have to get their hands dirty. It’s a WIN-WIN for all the KKKrooks.
EXACTLY.
Yes, the ‘steal’ is product of engineered voter fraud, but Media Control of the reporting of engineered voter fraud left all us being labeled as conspiracy nuts and poor losers.
“were the products of engineered voter fraud”
The ballot harvesting shown in 2000 Mules alone was estimated to have changed the 2020 election results. But it was only the collection methods of those ballots which was illegal, not necessarily meaning that the ballots were themselves fraudulent.
SO, even without actual ballot fraud, unsolicited mass-mailing of ballots to entire voter rolls, now made permanent in eight Dim-controlled states thus far, will from 2020 forward increase the percentage of easily propagandized low and zero information votes previously filtered out by the need to get off the sofa, travel, and stand in line to vote.
And that is why the informed votes will from this point forward be swamped by the large, easily propagandized, low to zero information votes within our majority idiocracy. The phony conservative party called Republicans as well as actually conservative voters are screwed from this point forward, especially in national elections due to the large number of electoral votes in the Dim states.
Agree. The ability to win national elections comes down to just tens of thousands of votes in a few critical states. The combination of mass unsolicited mail in ballots, concentrated ballot harvesting and media/intelligence establishment malfeasance aka “Hunter laptop is Russian disinformation” are all critical factors. When you can sit on your couch and your Bezos funded ballot harvester just has to knock on the door and “help” you complete your ballot and take it to drop box for you voila Biden gets 81 million votes
Well, the fraud isn’t helping either.
It’s a battle on many fronts.
Yes. MANY fronts.
It’s not the only reason but certainly a huge part. I would take it further and say that the media control is what is changing our culture and our country throughout every aspect. The worship of Obama, the division from political to racial, the acceptance and compliance with the tyranny of covid reactions and of the climate change farce and the sexualization of the children, the proclaimed goal to destroy our economy, the lack of concern regarding the fact that the nuclear war threat is as close or closer than it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Looks like a slow pressure release/regain trust operation so the normies can think that free speech ideals are being pushed forward. Musk was always going to underperform on his promises.
One thing is sure, the controlled oppositions’ choice for President in 2024 is DeSantis.
Yes….that’s where we are being led this time.
I would caution on the “only reason” statement of belief.
There are MANY people for MANY different reasons who do not buy into the MAGA line of branding or political talking points.
Some are just run it the mill republican cult members.
Some of us are conservatives with honest questions about it’s objectives.
You don’t need a rule book to tell you that making America great again is a good thing. This MAGA supporter holds a Masters Degree, am a long term professional with many years of conservative history.
Agree, but I think a big reason that many people don’t like MAGA is uniparty control of the media, which allows it to push propaganda and censor messages it doesn’t like. We lost in 2022 because the dems rounded up ballots and voters and we didn’t. Turnout was at historic levels among young voters; with everyone else it was below turnout in the 2018 midterms. I put most of the blame on the GOP consultants who work with the campaigns. The campaigns basically have to hire one of the approved consulting firms or no one will work for them. These firms then look to make a profit, not win, and rounding up ballots cuts into profits. So GOP candidates don’t do it and lose. It’s true that, because of censorship and uniparty control of the media, there are a tremendous number of voters who have an irrational dislike of Trump-that’s why the dems do whatever they can to keep him in the news and make elections about him. But the dems also follow up and go get ballots from those people. The GOP doesn’t round up ballots from those on our side. A lot of Gen Z and millennial men stayed home in the midterms.
Baby boomers are used to being the largest and most influential demographic, which is why so many on here just cannot believe it is possible for us to legitimately lose elections-everyone they know is on our side so it must all be fraud. But millennials now outnumber baby boomers, and when you couple them with Gen Z, there is no way we can win unless we get ballots from people in those demographics who are on our side. In the election last month, Gen Z votes canceled out baby boomer votes. Throw in McConnell and the others pulling money from competitive races and you get the outcome we got last month.
To put it more simply, ditzy airhead Gen Z females and insulated, well off suburban Karens are deciding election outcomes now, not baby boomers. Good luck trying to reason with one or having a logical discussion about how the uniparty is destroying our country. They don’t care. Trump makes them feel icky so they vote for whomever the friendly ballot harvester encourages them to vote for. If we don’t start rounding up votes to cancel theirs, we’ll keep losing and keep hearing the vote fraud excuse from grifters.
The only way I see to destroy this leftist government controlled media is to go to the people. What I mean is use market forces for change. No matter what any government does a free market will always overcome the controllers.
In that light, we need a conservative hostile takeover of one of the lamestream media. This would include nightly broadcasts or all day programming of fair and truthful reporting. It doesn’t even have to be all conservative, just neutral.
This new media would have innovative and entertaining ways of delivering news that gives them number one ratings. I could envision a show like the apprentice only from a political angle. Competition amongst anyone with solutions to the issues of the day, with judges and support for winners to implement their ideas would be highly popular. The perpetually uninformed would watch and not even realize they are getting news. Each week a new topic would be laid out and competitors invited to “do their best” with challenges and scrutiny.
Done fairly even democrats would give it a try but when their lies and lack of common sense continually loses, they will fade away. Once the ratings hit the top of this new media, the others will have no choice but to change or disappear. The old method of delivering news must change. News must be challenged and tested with the American public participating. Ratings are huge for American idol, America’s got talent, Dancing with the stars, etc. and there is no reason you can’t do this with politics/problem solving and even science.
We would also be identifying new leaders for the future.
How ’bout: “We The People’s News!”
Some very good ideas here! I truly believe that MEDIA is the key. Particularly now that Fox News is no longer the conservative leader that it use to be & so far, the newer conservative media is just not strong enough in their programming or newscasters to draw enough people!
Musk is starting to do a good job of exposing the social media fraud angle, now we need a MAGA MEDIA to expose the same of the MSM!
Respectfully, no Seneca.
ONE aspect of why MAGA Candidates lose, is Media and Big Tech censorship/propoganda.
ONE part is BALLOT fraud, used to manipulate election results.
A seperate and interrelated aspect, foundational to EVERYTHING is the Uniparty masquerade as two parties with one agenda.
What we THINK of as “the Dem, leftist agenda” is actually an agenda McConnell fully endorses.
MAGA and DJT have ALWAYS and from day one, represented an existential intrinsic threat to McConnell and the R wing of the Uniparty.
Its ALL connected, and ALL of the various threads lead back to McConnell.
This.
Yep. Everything sure does lead back to McConnell. He’s probably the most powerful person in DC. He agrees with everything the Biden white house is doing and is helping make it happen. He made it possible for Biden to pass every piece of legislation it wanted. He broke the Green New Deal up into separate bills, like infrastructure, and saw to it that they all sailed through.
The intelligence of the enemy is great. They have also on their side money, data, control of much, and the science of our military. They know psyops.
I often feel there is just enough hopium and pacification to keep us from revolting. China and Taiwan can afford their people to revolt. Unlike here in USA, they do not have 2A.
Trust no one. There are times I wonder if Trump and CTH are agents of pacification and constraint. When I write of this, it seems to disappear. Nonetheless, when I take inventory of DJT and what he did against all odds, it is either a great head fake by the Uniparty using him, or he is/was miraculous. But I need to see more action to give me hope in the future. I search but cannot find solid organizations to collaborate with.
Anytime we begin to mount a good opposition, it is squashed with no regard to life, law, morals, or even an attempt to make it look good. Blatant and in your face.
What can we hope in for improvement of this country. Where is there organization, headquarters, leadership, action. I think we law abiding, God fearing citizens have been spoiled by the benefit of community for so long, that we don’t know or recognize and live in denial of just how evil our enemy.
Here is some very good background on Jeff Carlin…this is from Spring 2021:
https://themarketswork.com/2021/03/14/biden-admin-officials-had-roles-in-probes-surveillance-of-trump-campaign/
I just scanned that article, but it seems to be about somebody else, a John Carlin that is part of the Biden admin. Did I miss something?
There seems to be a lot of noise with this and other happenings. Musk’s motives do not seem transparent and could easily be seen as wanting to align with the Deep State. We know the Deep State has contempt for the People of America and think we are just a bunch of dumb cattle. I see they have been trying to give the People some shinny little bits of information to keep us wondering what the truth is. That way we just keep sitting on our hands waiting for the next Trump or Musk to come save us all.
The first Truth is no man is going to save us at all. Second truth is only Jesus Christ will save us from Hell. Hell is real, never let anyone tell you different.
The basic Christian tenet is to love one another. That means connecting and living and helping our fellow man. How to stop this runaway Federal control is the same way people have stoped tyranny throughout history acting locally changing peoples minds one at a time. (Not in a Twitter post) I see this battle is at the state level. The Constitution gave us the states that is where we can gain this power back before the authoritarians destroy the rest of the states. It is a lot easier to get the state legislature to work with the people, they are not corrupted by money yet.
Find a way to make a difference in your church, join a church, contact your state legislature find a way to make a difference there. Be polite take your time to show people the truth. Pray for everyone, including our leaders. Read the Bible.
There are so many ways for Americans to take back our country. We are being manipulated.
The last Truth when it comes to all this evil. Every man women and child will have to bow to Christ the King on the final day. For some it will be glorious beyond what anyone can comprehend and for others they will wish they have never been born.
Peace to all

Social media giant Twitter on Thursday unveiled a series of changes it will make to the platform in the leadup to the 2022 midterm elections in the United States in the hopes of protecting “civic conversation,” the company announced in a statement.
What You Need To Know
Social media giant Twitter on Thursday unveiled a series of changes it will make to the platform in the leadup to the 2022 midterm elections in the United States in the hopes of protecting “civic conversation”
Twitter tested and will implement improved recommendation settings so that tweets with misinformation do not get boosted through notifications
Another update, which was tested by the company last year, put labels on misleading tweets, which led to a 17% increase in click-throughs of people searching for accurate information
As primaries have taken place across the country, Twitter has also rolled out regional hubs for state-specific elections, offering users a one-stop shop to find information
While the changes are incremental, Twitter has faced increased scrutiny in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential elections to curb misinformation – particularly after a former company employee testified in front of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill, telling lawmakers about the social media site’s failure to take action as then-President Donald Trump continued to tweet falsehoods about the results of the election.
The individual told the committee of their “desperate efforts to get Twitter to do something” about Donald Trump’s rhetoric in the leadup to Jan. 6, per Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., who said the anonymous individual was employed on the social media site’s platform and content moderation team from 2020 through 2021.
“The night of January 5, I believe I Slacked a message to someone that said something along the lines of: ‘when people are shooting each other tomorrow I will try and rest in the knowledge that we tried,’” the individual, whose identity has been hidden for their safety, told the committee in recorded testimony.
Surely there could be nothing associated with anyone building a complex array of satellites encompassing the globe and a known or unknown connection with a named or unnamed surveillance entity, working counter to the good will of freedom loving individuals. That would be crazy talk.
…speak it, brother. Satan and his minions are wrapping this old world up tight. Christ-man Jesus, Alone, has the power to break the chains, and He certainly will. When? I don’t know the day or the hour, but it will be sooner than later. What I do know for certain is that God’s Timing is always perfect.
just by the acronyms it was obvious there was military/military intel folks in the kitchen.
sometimes the acronyms aren’t thought out beforehand with humorous consequences.
example – who would want to answer the phone using the obvious (sailor’s)dimunition of ‘navy facilities southeast’?
Yet another conspiracy theory proven to be true. And the useful idiots remain idiotic.
How twisted must a mind contort in order to view oneself as a true patriot yet fall upon a task with great vigor that entails immoral if not unlawful conduct in order to perform said task?
Jeff Carlton’s allegiance is not to the American people or its Constitution as written. He is a foot soldier to those that would have a boot perpetually stomping a human face.
Then there is this little tidbit. Seems he is exercising some tradecraft skills at the moment:

You only have to look at the timing of the Twitter files release, the bulk coming after the 2022 midterms, to know what side Musk, Weiss et Al are on.
We are always being manipulated. Musk is the good guy. Weiss et al are the good reporters. Forget their liberal pasts. Forget what Musk’s businesses are ( self driving electric cars, chipped humans, humans colonizing the moon and beyond). The best indicator of future performance is past performance.
Sad. Like most of us, I want to believe Musk cares about the people. Weiss et al too. I want to believe that SOMEONE is open, honest and being truthful. That we are not always being manipulated and,therefore, on our guard. But we ought to know better by now.
Trust, but verify.
Unfortunately it is probably disingenuous or deflecting upon Musk’s part to decry sex trafficking of children. It is a multi billion dollar international industry that his cronies in government, Big Tech and Hollywood have known about, invested in, profited from and participated with for decades .
For this to be a surprise to Musk, who probably knows a fair number of Epstein’s clients, is an outrageous unlikelihood.
He either wants to distance himself from it because he sees signs of the swamp globalists being compromised…or he wants to plant himself in plain sight so no one suspects he is making billions with the under belly slime.
Verify then trust.
Sundance is one of the ONLY journalists out there (if not the only) one whom I trust completely to tell the truth.
J.G.: Don’t trust, don’t bother trying to verify.
Sundance — I am 75yrs old. When you say things like, “You can decide why Ms. Weiss failed to identify this intelligence operative,” — I cant — either I dont know enough current stuff or have forgotten it. At least give a HINT. Is it because he is a good friend of hers? her brother in law? used to be her boss at NYT? she is CIA?
I’m not 75 years old, but I am right there with you. I am not a full-time political researcher. I don’t know enough to answer these questions.
Basically because Ms. Weiss is part of the operation and she does not wish to spell out all of the details and links to the intel community.
I look at Sundance’s work as “excavating” in a sense. Like an archeologist uncovering a massive fossil – it is clear he knows something buried there is big and deep but not the exact extent or shape.
The narrative about Twitter that we’ve been fed for over a decade is the “coffeeshop” – that Twitter management and employees are ideologues and they used their social media business to sway the vote, to stop “free speech”.
What Sundance is excavating points to something very different…. that Twitter, like Google, has been built as massive fascist government surveillance, propaganda and intelligence tool to control elections and our very freedom – to punish enemies of the State and reward its friends. The coffeeshop is the façade to keep us from seeing the great evil that overshadows it.
So, why would that machine willingly give Weiss anything so dark and telling that could bring them all to light? Exposing someone like Carlton, for example.
————
“You can decide why Ms. Weiss failed to identify this intelligence operative, again – I digress. However, all of these revelations only align in one direction.
In the background of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop (aka Twitter), was a system set up by the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security.
Controlling information, and ultimately shaping public opinion, was/is the primary responsibility of this internal Twitter network that was/is operating in a public-private partnership with the United States Government.
I have yet to see a single data point from any release that runs counter to the basic outline, in the background of Twitter you find DHS.”
Twitter is simply a discovery vector to reveal the larger dynamic of DHS being in control of social media. That was the DHS/ODNI problem James Baker was trying to mitigate by his filtration of the released documents. The “Twitter files” are one tentacled element in a much larger story.”
Exposed Carlton worked for CIA and FBI @ one time wow
Something that I do not see being discussed is how these snapshots of secret pages summarizing the censorship mechanisms being used against people show how thoroughly this censorship was built into the twitter system, and how they have strived to make it easy to operate.
Look at all the different ways they have to censor, hard coded into their operating system. Each and every use of the system must engage with multiple filtration systems designed to censor what you see. Talk about making Jack’s Magic Coffee shop super computationally expensive.
Think about the Company wide effort that goes into designing, developing, testing and implementing this censorship operating system. Each and every step approved via management. Things like this take years to develop, occupying significant fractions of the company. And then they require training and buy-in from all the employees. Doesn’t happen unless it is lead by the top.
Musk bought a propaganda and censorship machine. No matter how much he says he wants a free speech machine, he owns a censorship machine.
Musk absolves the past owner/manager of guilt. Yet as an owner/manager of multiple companies, he knows that nothing that big would be done without full buy-in.
The effort needed to purge the propaganda/censorship systems will be massive and time consuming. But will that ever be done? Musk hints that there will always be legitimate censorship needed. And world governments threaten that they must be maintained.
whether there is free speech or not on twitter, twitter will need to remain as a great tool of surveillance for the shadow state. Perhaps they realized that the censorship for the election lost too many targets of surveillance and now that it is over they want those targets back.
They will just move their corrupt operations to their backup platform. Anybody think they don’t have their fingers in every pie? Watch for some renewed emphasis on some other social media by the talking heads and you will know where all the commies have gone.
EXCELLENT.
DHS still controls Twitter.
And no IC personnel have been outed.
That’s how you know this is, as Sundance says, “controlled release” of info.
Does this allow people affected to sue the Administration?
Nope.
Weiss & Taibbi – the perfect patsies
Elon just dumb? Or playing dumb? Imagine not “knowing” who Jim Baker was.
Now pull the other one.
When you learn a thing a day you store up smart.
Says Festus
Has anyone done a deep dive on where Musk has gotten his financial backing for buying Twitter?
What promises of growth and returns on investment where made?
Musk is putting on a public show, but how does that help his backers?
Is there any way for Government to directly or indirectly be a financial investor?
Censorship? …We’ll call that Content Moderation…
Everything you put in the digital space is monitored by the US government. If they aren’t directly storing it, they’ll get it from the service that is. When the eye of Sauron turns on you, all will be exposed, and you won’t even know it until the FBI has agents storming your front door. I’d go so far to say that anything that would be deemed subversive by the US government, and by extension the uni-party, should be heavily encrypted. Any digital communication you do not want known to a federal bureaucrat, even if that’s your mom’s best recipe. We take all of the digital space for granted, when we only see the surface of it. If we were all smart we would drastically reduce our usage and be very deliberate in what we write and do.
I figure by now that I’m screwed, but my kids can be more circumspect about their digital profiles.
I’m right there with you- screwed.
Mike Pompeo graduated from West Point and served his 5 year commitment as a Cav officer in Germany before going to HLS. To my knowledge he was never a. Naval Intelligence Officer.
“Elon Musk in the Twitter Files is actually a filtered outcome as a result of this new ownership dynamic.”
Filtered outcome. Another name for the Deep State/Uniparty pendulum backswing once the just-completed forward-arm of the phony dialectic has yielded all it can possibly yield in the current cycle.
Liberty is like juice getting squeezed from two ends.
Brace yourselves. We’re about to be ‘saved’ by the compromised cavalry of DeSantis, Musk et al. Just in the nick of time too, when things were getting really zany.
With limited hang-out, the emphasis is always on ‘limited’.
Say what you like. It’s an effin ingenious system.
Certainly proves PDJT was NOT owned, doesn’t it? Look at what the gang is doing to get rid of him. Coming at him from all sides.
It’s too bad there isn’t some system already in place that has been paid for through our taxes that could and would hold institutions and bad actors within them accountable for the problems they’ve created and laws they’ve broken. I wonder what it would be called if it did exist…
Dept of Equal Application of the Law, or some such thing.
Looks like many former and now employed Intel agents are double dipping paid by the agencies and Twitter Google FB WAPO CNN MSNBC and more..Let the sunlight aka exposure begin…Name names please…
I will start Jake Tapper Anderson Cooper.Should be a long list..
Sundance, thank you for your illuminating posts about the nature of the deep state’s control over Twitter. I always knew that something was wrong with Twitter and other social media platforms, but your information has helped explain how severe the problem really is.
The CCP distances itself from past failures by selectively purging and then blaming certain officials for “excesses” and “mistakes”. Twitter may well be doing exactly the same thing. DHS overreached and got burned, so they strategically withdraw and blame the ousted former management and executive team.
At Taki’s Magazine, ostensibly a bastion of unfettered free speech, there was a writer who called themselves Z-Man. Z-Man and all of their work have been scrubbed from Taki’s site. Not a word of it remains. Here’s the link to the article
https://www.takimag.com/article/the-death-of-free-speech/ If you go there, this is the result: YOU HAVE REACHED THIS PAGE IN ERROR. Taki has given no explanation.
Z-Man reported early on the Elon Musk bid to take control of twitter. The article was entitled, “The Death Of Free Speech.” Because they were so unequivocal in their implication, I thought it would be a good move to save the final two paragraphs before the article was scrubbed. I was not mistaken:
Elon Musk buying Twitter in order to restore it as a free-speech platform will most likely break the glass on this democracy business. Google, Apple, and Amazon will reimpose censorship on Twitter, if Musk even bothers to lift it. He did not become the richest man on earth by not understanding the nature of power. It is his exploitation of power relations that has allowed him to become an oligarch.
Even if he has taken a blow to the head and tries to challenge his fellow oligarchs on the issue, he will be crushed. Maybe someone should tweet the obituaries of Leonid Shulman, Alexander Tyulakov, Mikhail Watford, Vladislav Avayev, and Sergey Protosenya to Musk on Twitter. Oligarchical systems will always defend the system against oligarchs who threaten the system.
Is there a reason why Truth Social is not in the Share options on the Conservative Treehouse?
Most likely because TruthSocial is not yet supported by whatever WordPress social media plugin that CTH is using.
I agree on everything except that Jack and Elon are “good friends”. Maybe one of them said that but there’s no evidence they spend the type of time and interactions “good friends” typically would. Maybe it’s “famous” people “good friends” where they have met a couple of times and got along, but not real world “good friends”
Andy Ngo points out Jeff Carleton, too. Just read his take.
Here is el gato malo’s substack take on the twitter revelations and of his twitter experience of the visibility filtering that went on at twitter of his tweet that got him sidelined:
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/mainstreaming-free-and-fair-expression
“riding atop a multi-staged
booster guided by Elon Musk and fueled by Wall Street billionaires.”
An apt description which recalls a scene from Dr. Stangelove.
It took me no time at all to realize that “social media” was a pure waste of time and being actively censored, not just moderated. The same was obviously true of other sites like Reddit – which started out as a very clever idea. Therefore, I abandoned Reddit and have never used any “social media.” I don’t miss it at all. (Even in the seminal days of “IRC = Internet Relay Chat,” I never was a chatterbox. The whole idea very quickly bored me.)
Have they released what they did to The Commander in Chief, The President of the Unites States yet?
All else is fluff, a pretty shiny object that we have all seen before and knew existed.
Let this be a lesson for those of you who so freely use ZOOM.
https://www.zoomgov.com/team
We are now witnessing how DEEP the DEEP state actually is. DEEP STATE actors are not just in the formal government. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. Lying, creating DECEPTION, propagandizing, CONTROLLING ELECTIONS, instigating ELECTION FRAUD, etc. Eisenhower projected the ultimate TYRANNICAL outcome of the intelligence community, and it is upon us.
Don’t forget, Elon has already stated that files have been deleted. So he has a built-in excuse when everything doesn’t come out. This doesn’t really feel like transparency. This feels like a balancing act, just enough to keep the right interested and for the left to dismiss it. It should be apparent by now that the purpose of the releases is to increase engagement on the platform. Any altruism is secondary. After all, it’s the most compelling holiday programming this season. The ratings are probably through the roof.
Im struggling to conceive an adequate cartoon or satiric headline to capture the idea that a guy whose fortune derives from a WEF / progressive promoting outlook was formerly a closet 1st amendment radical who has now outted himself by buying twitter. It just seems inconceivable after SD pointed it out.
Additionally, we know for certain that DHS plays for keeps and they’re not taking an L from Musk. Ask the Jan 6 victims about it.
So my cartoon envisions depicting a tycoon whose fortune stems from supporting the regime suddenly emerging as a 2nd amendment radical, now buying the mfr of “Boomerang Ammo and Armor Corp” perhaps with Darren Beattie and Steve Bannon talking at the bottom. Bannon says,”… and your response, SIR? Beattie replies, “I berate Jonah, therefore I am trustworthy.”
All I can say to those who trust DeSantis is this: I will NEVER support a guy who stabs the guy that helped him most, even if the guy who helped most has his arm twisted off to force his support. I will NEVER support DeSantis and all those folks who go to Trump rallies wont either. Whoever is staging all this BS theater can go F themselves.
One other point… Wasnt Weiss booted out of NYT around the same time Musk started muttering about twitter?
I do think Taibbi is far more believable, but I have to say it is not trust-engenderi g when a journalist signs up to unknown/hidden publication conditions.
My understanding is, she quit.
She wrote an essay that I read a couple months ago.
Said NYT had hired her on as an “alternative Conservative voice” but that she was censored once she got there, so she quit.
Just look it up, cuz I may have forgotten exactly what she said.
No trust in Bannon, Beattie, Crist or any of these mouths. All in it for themselves. And add Kane at Citizen Free Press who almost peed himself cause RDS read his page.
So, essentially, the Deep State figured out that banning “the enemy” didn’t work so well because then they couldn’t track, harass, and imprison us so easily. Enter Musk, who throws the doors open on Twitter and sheds a few paltry rays of sunlight on a few carefully selected misdeeds of the Deep State and assures everyone he’s really, really (no, I mean REALLY) serious about cleaning out the Twitter nest. Then all the conservatives, fooled into thinking Twitter is now safe, jump back on, giving the Deep State all the material they need to track, monitor, and imprison us.
And somewhere in all this lurks DeSantis, who I’m positive is being set up as the savior whom we MUST vote for in 2024 (Hell to the no on that one).
And you just fell for a deep state RINO leftist voter suppression scheme. Split the vote by selective info release on DeSantis making all the MAGA voters sit home. Aren’t all of you at least a “little” suspicious of this? Even Sundance is likely to be a target for “filtered” information. When you see the MSM swooning over Big Ron you have to realize something is afoot.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I didn’t fall for anything. I’ll write in Trump if I have to because I certainly won’t vote for Con Man Ron–no matter who the GOPe, MSM, and Deep State try to make me “fall” for!
Bid Brother is into everything. Limit your use of most “public” manipulated social media and you’re better off. I wonder what else is going on while people are fixated on Elon and his investment. This regime is relentless in their fear and control agenda.
I see others elsewhere treating this “Jeff” Calin, as the former DOJ acting head of the NSD.
Sundance, is this a correct association or not?
“Jeff” Carlin vs John Carlin.
The name is Jeff CARLTON.
For those of you trying to tell us a 2nd party would be a disaster, something about splitting the ticket, wah, wah, wah, where are the two Dicks, Dick McConnell and Dick McCarthy.
Dick McConnells constituents are donors and the DACA amnesty babies, not you.
Dick McCarthy is too busy trying to secure his ticket to riches as Speaker of The House to be bothered with such a trivial matter.
The only thing that’s splitting, as you wait for the Great Awakening amongst Republicans, is the country.
“Curiously intelligent people will note the Weiss website is structured to support the 2024 presidential bid of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis…” I don’t understand this statement. How is it structured this way?
Another incredible and somewhat depressing analysis of the current situation with social media. It seems so obvious what is going on here and yet it just keeps happening.
“Somewhat” might be a bit of an understatement- more like “we are so screwed”
The rentier class, which has stolen $50 trillion from actual workers since 1970, will steal elections to eternity until they are brought to heel…The main way, withholding skilled labor to get a fair wage, is discussed here …https://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec22/monopoly12-22.html
The poisonous social media / DHS connections, well documented and presented here, point ultimately to a voter paradise of fools. Uniformed, listless, amoral, happily bribed for next to nothing, waddling about in a tangle of co-morbidities this degrading depopulating horde has its natural counterpart in a tyranny of self-congratulating, sinister actors who live and breathe for power. The republic ended with Obama/Holder and we now live in a dystopian aftermath of mirrors. The evil of the ruling junta cannot be understated.
Jim Baker destroyed company property and could be raided and arrested on local and state charges. When will his home be raided?
Probably never.
Now that he has fallen on his Twitter job sword by Filtering (destroying) the data that now gives Elon the excuse to say that Jimbo here destroyed all the juicy, actionable data at Twitter so we’ll never have the printed docs that prove Sundance’s explanation of DHS’s total control of the Coffee Shop Biz,… well, ole Baker here, having completed his Mission at the Coffee Works, probably already has his new contract for his (self-claimed) CV highly rated skills/services at Ghoulgle or another Agent of Big Brutha Control of We The People.
My take,…. as Donald says, “We’ll see.”
“TikTok is to Beijing as Twitter is to Washington DC.”
If the revelations of Musk’s Twitter cause DHS to lose some or most of it’s social media Control ability via Twitter, how soon will our Tyrant Puppet in Chief ask the CCP’s actual Tyrant to give him access to Tik Tok’s American subscriber data, since the # 1 priority of Tyrannical Govts is Control and that requires data to make it more easy and efficient? Asking for a friend.
So….we are now going to be propagandized by Twitter to go in a different direction? The one that Weiss and Elon and maybe the other part of the Deep State wants? My head hurts.
People speculating that their resignations may have to do with this:
***Twitter Files = Limited Hangout***
https://www.wikispooks.com/wiki/Limited_hangout
Case closed.
Podesta was the middle man for the Uranium One deal. He transferred ~900K in stock options to his daughter after the deal then went to work in the Obama administration.
Podesta is still working at the WH. Filthy.
Many things need doing at Twitter. First they NEED to have a sandboxed, DEV version of their entire product. Their former security head claims they direct CODE to PRODUCTION. That is just stupid (lets all pray they actually are not this stupid and they do have a regular dev ops set up). It looks like they need to refactor or redesign the entire area of FILTER usage. There should be a PUBLISHED algorithm which governs any filtering of amplified material and posting. Depending upon how they implemented this (i.e. is this built into query language, or is this build in a business layer in a MVC type structure) They may have to entirely redesign the database schema. Their former security head claims there is massive amounts of data cruft lying around which exists in logs, and tables where more likely admin types can access and deal with it, but the actual Twitter main coders and product do not touch the data. This is very scary. It means that as they built this thing they just left records of the TCP/IP sessions, various addresses and personally identifying data lying around in the bowels of their servers. I’d want to understand at square one – do you really code to production? Wow. It sounds just crazy.
I heard today that Musk is spending lots of time on engineering at Twitter. Is it possible he is cleaning up what you describe?
He has the Tesla engineering team there, working.
Very likely. He’ll have already seen that environment at Tesla itself, due to all the computer controlled material in the vehicles. But it also won’t surprise me that twitter’s code to production is far worse than what we know. And in truth is a mass of spaghetti code that makes an actual pot of boiled noodles look clear and concise.
