… Both were targets of the U.S. government’s use of Twitter and social media to manipulate election outcomes.
While current conservative headlines are filled with discussion surrounding revelations of Twitter being used by U.S. government officials to control and manipulate public opinion, it is worthwhile reminding everyone how this process was first triggered – and then look at how the intelligence community applied the lessons to the USA in 2020.
The Obama administration first created the public-private partnership with Twitter and Facebook to support the “Arab Spring” uprising. As a consequence, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was the first elected official to be taken out by former President Obama’s deployment of Twitter as a community activist tool for revolution in 2011. In direct and consequential ways, Egypt was the BETA test for a process that surface a decade later in the United States during the 2020 election.
Using and influencing social media was a tool created by the Obama state department, as noted years ago in Mic.Com:
[…] In countries like Egypt, Tunisia, and Yemen, rising action plans such as protests made up of thousands, have been organized through social media such Facebook and Twitter. “We use Facebook to schedule the protests” an Arab Spring activist from Egypt announced “and [we use] Twitter to coordinate, and YouTube to tell the world.” The role that technology has taken in allowing the distribution of public information such as the kinds stated by the aforementioned activist, had been essential in establishing the democratic movement that has helped guide abused civilians to overthrow their oppressor. (link)
(NationalPulse) The most popular Twitter hashtags in the Arab region in the first three months of this year were “Egypt”, “Jan25”, “Libya”, “Bahrain” and “protest”.
Nearly 9 in 10 Egyptians and Tunisians surveyed in March said they were using Facebook to organise protests or spread awareness about them. All but one of the protests called for on Facebook ended up coming to life on the streets.
These and other findings from the newly released second edition of the Arab Social Media Report by the Dubai School of Government give empirical heft to the conventional wisdom that Facebook and Twitter abetted if not enabled the historic region-wide uprisings of early 2011. (link)
Fast forward to 2020, and those same elements deployed against the Egyptian government were deployed in the United States in a coordinated public-private partnership with Twitter, Facebook and social media.
The U.S. government control over these social media platforms is ultimately what lies at the heart of the latest Twitter Files release.
Within the Twitter file release, you will find Twitter’s lead censor, Yoel Roth, meeting with an official from the U.S. Dept of National Intelligence (DNI). From the testimony of FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan, we know that official was Shelby Pierson. Chan was speaking under oath in an ongoing first amendment lawsuit against the Biden administration for manipulating and censoring speech on social media.
To see the connective tissue between the events in 2011 (Egypt) and the events a decade later in 2020 (USA), it is worth noting a discussion that took place in early 2020 between Shelby Pierson and former CIA Director Mike Morell.
Mike Morell was made CIA Director after General Petraeus was removed in 2012 by then DNI James Clapper at the behest of President Obama. With his new position, Mike Morell was the Obama official who gave testimony to congress about CIA operations in/around the Libyan Benghazi compound attack on 9/11/11. Morell was put into this position to protect Hillary Clinton and President Obama for the crisis they created in Libya, the covert arms sales to Libya, and ultimately the Benghazi attack that stemmed from State Dept and CIA efforts to retrieve those illegal weapons.
During the 2016 Presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, Mike Morell was a key voice helping to frame the narrative that Russia was planning to interfere in the election. Morell, no longer in government and working for Clinton, was another 2016 vector seeding the Trump-Russia narrative to the media while Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele worked outside sending various files to FBI allies to assist the fraudulent framework.
Mike Morell is a key Clinton/Obama loyalist and tool of the national security state. Morell is now a CBS intelligence analyst and contributor.
Back to Shelby Pierson…. In early January 2020 Ms. Pierson and Mr Morell were discussing the upcoming presidential election from the perspective of how the U.S. Intelligence Community would be engaged. Emphasis mine:
(Via CBS) – In this episode of Intelligence Matters, host Michael Morell speaks with Shelby Pierson, a career intelligence official recently named the Intelligence Community Election Threats Executive within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Pierson details past, present and future election security threats facing the U.S., and explains how the intelligence community has partnered with other government agencies to boost visibility into foreign interference efforts.
She explains how the threat landscape has broadened since 2016, and tells Morell what new vectors foreign adversaries may consider using in 2020. Pierson also offers new insights into Russia’s systematic efforts to interfere in the 2016 and 2018 midterm elections. This is the latest installment of a continuing series on “Leadership of the IC,” featuring currently-serving senior leadership within the U.S. intelligence community. (link)
Keep in mind, Shelby Pierson is the key official from the ODNI office, talking to FBI liaison Elvis Chan about frameworks for social media censorship and the specific needs of the U.S. government in October 2020. At the same time, it is Shelby Pierson who is coordinating withe Twitter Executive Yoel Roth.
I urge readers to read the full CBS transcript above get a sense Ms. Pierson from the context of her conversation with fellow traveler Mike Morell in January 2020.
Then, not coincidentally, we go to the CTH archives from February 2020:
February 23, 2020 – […] Sending shockwaves through the intelligence community, it was reported yesterday that newly appointed Acting DNI Richard “Ric” Grenell asked the intelligence community, specifically including Shelby Pierson, to produce the underlying intelligence within the briefing she gave to the House Intelligence Committee.
Well, what do you know…. All of a sudden today, anonymous intelligence officials are reporting to CNN that Ms. Pierson “overstepped” her position, was “misleading” in her briefing, and “mischaracterized” the underlying intelligence. Imagine that.
Washington (CNN)-The US intelligence community’s top election security official appears to have overstated the intelligence community’s formal assessment of Russian interference in the 2020 election, omitting important nuance during a briefing with lawmakers earlier this month, three national security officials told CNN.
The official, Shelby Pierson, told lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election with the goal of helping President Donald Trump get reelected.
[…] “The intelligence doesn’t say that,” one senior national security official told CNN. “A more reasonable interpretation of the intelligence is not that they have a preference, it’s a step short of that.
[…] One intelligence official said that Pierson’s characterization of the intelligence was “misleading” and a national security official said Pierson failed to provide the “nuance” needed to accurately convey the US intelligence conclusions.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, where Pierson is a senior official, did not respond to CNN’s request for comment. (more)
Why would Shelby Pierson and Joseph Maguire intentionally blindside the White House?
The briefing was obviously spun by HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff and democrats on the House intel committee; and there was no intelligence presented during the briefing to support the claims made by Pierson, Democrats and media. (2020 LINK)
What you see now surfacing is evidence of the framework of 2020 election manipulation from the DNI office. That government manipulation later manifests in the public-private partnership between the U.S. government and Twitter, as highlighted in the releases of the Twitter files.
One note of caution. I will draw attention to a very similar framework now rolling out with the Twitter File releases that we saw in the John Durham investigation. Notice how both Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi are drawing attention to the Twitter executives, but NOT drawing any attention to the government officials. This does not appear to be coincidental.
Bari Weiss could have easily identified the head of the Twitter head of the “Strategic Response Team” an intelligence official named Jeff Carlton. She didn’t. Similarly, Matt Taibbi could have identified the official from the DNI office in contact with Twitter executive Yoel Roth, ODNI official Shelby Pierson. He didn’t.
Just as John Durham structured his public investigative releases to cast the unlawful shadow on only those people outside government, so too is Weiss and Taibbi structuring their public reviews of the Twitter files to draw attention only to the Twitter executives outside government.
The officials from the U.S. government, who are transmitting through the DHS portal to Twitter, are not being named and identified, why not?
From Taibbi and Weiss and Taibbi again, we are getting an outline of actions taken by Twitter officials, but we are still blind to how the information, requests and demands come into Twitter from the U.S. government, and who specifically is sending them.

What a rancid cesspit this all is. Wheels within wheels within…
Thank goodness we’ve got our own bloodhound on this despicable traitorous mess. And I thank you, Sundance, for that…sincerely.
How we have not yet been Sodom and Gomorrah-ed is only a matter Almighty God knows.
I said once that satan is collecting souls as easily as I would collect ripe dewberries from alongside a Texas railroad track in mid May….
If God does not punish this nation as He did Sodom and Gomorrah, then He owes those doomed nations an apology.
look around you….we ARE under God’s judgment……remember the rainbow after the Great Flood was God’s covenant to hold back on the wholesale destruction of man again by his hand until after Armageddon when he remakes the Earth and Heavens
While we’re under God’s judgment, it’s the judgement of our government that we’re required to endure…until we do the work.
They always take the best things, like the rainbow, and incorporate it into their ungodly satanic ideologies!
Only because we have NOT taken it back. We just plaster rainbows on righteous and moral endeavors and more so on anti-perversion. Rainbows depicting weddings and anniversaries of traditional weddings. We CAN take back the good. We were so coerced and shamed into accepting unacceptable we simply gave up without a fight. Just like with this latest abomination law passed. Not a whimper to stop it.
100%
if we truly want to MAGA, then it’s required to take it all back!
our language, our history, our traditions, our symbols and statues
all of it.
Ok. How do we take it back?
First we acknowledge God and then we bring God back into our schools and government and we go from there.
A Herculean task that has to start somewhere, LtoL. We need some Help of the Heavenly kind 🙏
That made me think.
Having just bought a rainbow projector night light for my 5-year-old grand-daughter’s Christmas present, I just decided to tell her again the story of Noah’s Ark (she knows that one) making sure not to omit that God sent the flood to wash clean the world because people were being so bad, while He kept the good guys safe in the ark. While God dried out the world, He sent the rainbow as His promise and reminder of keeping the good guys safe.
Seems to me that, as ordinary people, if we are to take back the ‘good’, we have to do it one small step at a time and hand it straight back to its real owner. The mistake would be to try keeping any of the prestige for us.
Why punish the nation? The nation isn’t behind all the evil deeds taking place. I’m not doing any of the evil deeds. Why should I be punished? How about punishing only the guilty?
The rain falls on just and unjust!
We are being punished that’s why we’re sinking into a cesspool of corruption.
Betsy, for as long as some can remember, Christians have likely looked at end times Prophecy as something far in the future. Now, mature Christians are likely looking at the coming global economic collapse as the preparing stage for the “One World Government” the anti-christ emerges to lead. Vax passports and digital currency both appear to be control mechanisms forewarning of population control. Who’s to say what the “mark of the beast” will be, but it sure isn’t hard to see how one “mark” could be used to control who can “buy or sell” just as prophesied.
I agree…completely, Oldretiredguy.
Unless something or Someone derails this whole monstrous, ungodly agenda, I am looking for totalitarian one world government, though what part the Supreme Court would play in dissolving our Constitutional sovereignty is another matter for another day.
When I pray The Lord’s Prayer every night, and I say “Thy will be done”, I have to remind myself that His will may have arrived concerning end times. No one knows, of course. But those of us familiar with Revelations must suspect if we are not in them, what is going on is a very remarkable resemblance.
Archbishop Vigano, the good servant of Almighty God, recently stressed that now is the time to choose. He was emphatic in his address, more so than in any other remarks I have either read or heard from this pious and thankfully outspoken man, still in hiding. And as I have come to believe our Father speaks through him, I paid close attention.
I chose long ago when the monstrous Mengeleian potion was introduced and forced on so many. I know if we are in such a place, it will test us all as nothing else ever will in refusing to comply. Strong faith is our shield. So we watch…and wait. And pray for His mercies and His grace. Bless you, sir.
Amen Betsy Amen.
It is difficult to not get caught up in the obvious intentional destruction of America that is taking place. As you correctly stated, the fall of America could be just a necessary step in His Divine time frame to bring on the events that were foretold a couple thousand years ago.
One thing seems pretty certain, there seems to have been an escalation in the manifestation of a evil on a global scale or so it seems to me. The open perversion and acceptance of depravity would certainly add credibility to that thinking.
I feel the same as you do. I watch pretty closely, and ever since UN Secretary General Guterres and the Antichrist’s right hand psychopath Schwab signed an agreement around the first of September to speed up their satanic Agenda 2030 (not reported on in this country by the way), I have noticed an appalling doubling down on perversion…but worse, the acceptance of these perversions in every crevice of the US.
It’s the capitulation to and promotion of evil by what I once considered solid organizations of every stripe…medical, church, military, etc…which has me bemused and outraged.
Almost in unison. It really is for me unbelievable. The only way it makes any sense is to see it in the context of prophesy.
But on the other side, I pray that we are being allowed a glimpse of what hell is…a terrible, terrifying place without the presence of Almighty God.
In other words, I am wondering if in His eternal wisdom, He is granting us a chance to return to Him with a spiritual tap on our shoulders.
There is no way of knowing this of course. But it seems to me there are millions of us who are suddenly not averting our gaze to the targeting of our children, and the depravity which has been unleashed with full force.
A bit of how I’m thinking these days. But I am always watching, because we never know the day when Christ returns.
Blessings to you, sir.
His PhD was in “Communication” from Penn State. I did not bother to read it, but if he argues in favor of grooming children using a “communication” tool, he is a rancid little creep. Seven years at twitter and he rose up quickly from group manager to head of trust and safety, rarely staying in one position for more than two years. A social climber with limited to no technical ability who knew what shibboleths to invoke.
Let’s see, “Grindr may be too lewd..for teenagers” which actually can cause harm in children — he is essentially condoning statutory rape. Compared to banning a sitting President, claiming his political positions “cause harm”. Interestingly if someone in his tribe said the same thing, it would not have raised any concerns. You have really got to abandon reason completely to come to that conclusion. This person is mentally ill.
His PhD was from Pennsylvania. Not Penn State. Annenberg school for communication. Dissertation was “Gay Data” a snippet,,,,Specifically, I argue that through a focus on (1) open-ended structures of interface design, (2) clear and transparent articulations of service policies, and the rationales behind them, and (3) approaches to user information that promote data sovereignty, designers, developers, and advocates can work to make social networking services, including Grindr, safer and more representative of their users throughout their data’s lifecycle.
Deliver us from all evil.
EVIL is more like what he is!!
Ok, this is a satisfying slap.
That is an overly polite description for the entire stinking mess, Betsy jones, thank you for that, I don’t have to use any brain bleach. 🙂
and a cesspool.
If Twitter is the crime scene the government is the criminal.
Ya okay Sherlock…..release it ALL. Just dump it….we know already for crying out loud.
You’re welcome, Grog. I’ve got an ample supply of the stuff here, but it seems to have lost its efficacy. It’s a balancing job…trying to stay informed while attempting to keep my peace and sanity intact.
Use an escape film like “A Bear Named Winnie” or a great Joan Aiken book if you want to go back to the Jacobite days. Regards Bet
Blessings, my friend. Yes…a wise and therapeutic suggestion. Thank you.
Escape films are wonderful these days. Mine are mostly Jane Austen.
PG Wodehouse does it for me, steph. British of course. My gosh does he make me laugh. When I need to decompress and escape, he’s the man for me.
Should have added for those unfamiliar with this witty man PG Wodehouse is an author of voluminous output. A cup of tea and one of his laugh out loud books is all I need to maintain my equilibrium.
Yep! I wouldn’t mind my own Jeeves to bring me some eggs and b. in the morning…
the only movie I ever watched twice was Gone With The Wind. Until the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice. I have watched that soooo many times. The actors are perfect in their roles.
Yes, I watched “Little Women” the other day. So delightful. Men and women had a chance to know each other for a while before marriage. So charming.
Amazon has a lot of those collections on Kindle for about a buck. I pigged out!
When I need cheering up from this mess, I watch the poseidon adventure
I like both of your fine suggestions, but give my movie a shot. It’s a true story with a happy ending also. I stumbled onto it by accident on Roku (Freevee). One of the best movies I have seen in the last few months. I loved “Gangster” aka “The Wee Man” but that is a different genre set in Scotland
I just put A Bear Named Winnie in my queue, on amazonprime.
I’ll add these two as well as Steph and Slowcobra’s suggestions.
I am always grateful for Treeper movie & book suggestions…
thanks y’all and God bless.
I did too – lifelong fan of the A. A. Milne books. Maybe Sundance is a fan too, because of his use of Eeyore as a symbol of unnecessary/habitual pessimism (?).
Best Jane Austen ever in my opinion is the Colin Firth 6-part BBC series of Pride and Prejudice.
Cheers to all of you! I hated to do it but I got Netflix to watch Ancient Apocalypse series which we are being told not to watch and to finish the excellent “Last Kingdom”
Best to the Treehouse.
I watch Wagon Train for peace.
I will look for it. Me being a big Bushranger fan I really liked “The Legend of Ben Hall” it’s on Prime and I think you will like it guessing from your Wagon Train recommendation. Best to you ma’am
So does Trump.
Sundance documents it all.
It is all written down backed by facts.
big question is – how much more evidence do the people need before they are willing to put it on the line and burn this demon up.
The biggest. I have no idea…
…though I suspect when the moment comes (as it did for the people of Brazil) we will definitely, instinctively know it.
Absolutely.
SD is a Prince Among Men!
A man for our times, Missy.
Anybody remember Hunter Biden’s laptop? Seems like small potatoes now doesn’t it.
Hunter seems to have a lawsuit brewing against several, Rudy, Bannon and others over defamation.
Bring on discovery. Can’t wait!
So he’s going broke selling his etchings?
For $200,000 a pop today in NYC at some swish gallery.
Need to know who’s channeling the money to him this way.
Would be good to know…however why waste time and energy chasing that? Already have hard evidence on his laptop. How many crimes need to pile up?
$500k at a pop you can rack up some quick dough from PRC
The man is artistic …..use of color etc. I agree not anywhere worth what he gets but don’t like when people make fun of his ability. Just makes us look like them. Personally I like the painting of the hunter and his dog. Would never buy one because …well we know why.
How do we know he’s really painting them? Because the news says so?
Good point, ghost writers why not ghost painters.
Yea, so was Hitler
Ha you beat me to it.
Ya…Hitler was an artist too. Give him art supplies while he serves time in GITMO!!!!
David Brock (Media Matters ) is spearheading a quick reaction team to protect Biden from the coming GOP House hearings. I suspect going on the attack over the laptop is his idea.
It’s all about optics, not to mention bleeding Rudy and Bannon of $$ when Brock is raising millions from Soros types
And I haven’t forgotten how the FBI took over Jeffrey Epstein’s Island and covered the windows so drones could not video what was going on inside. Have we heard any more about what was found there? Was Jeff Carlton involved in that?
And then the “death” of John MacAfee – but no body has been produced for burial. And Ghislane Maxwell’s client list is still invisible.
I wish I had started a spreadsheet with all these people and their relationships to each other! I admire Sundance’s ability to locate all these people and expose them!
I had not heard of or don’t remember Shelby Pierson or Mike Morell though. Two new names to add to my list.
Thank you Sundance!
Jeffery Epstein bacame a liability. The FBI went to the island to remove all the IC’s microphones and hidden video cameras.
Shelby Pierson is an Executive for Election Threats in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
Michael Joseph Morell is an American former career intelligence analyst. He served as the deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency
Morell’s a sleazoid like Kirby.
Of course, they aren’t publishing the names of our sacred “public servants.” They sacrifice so much to protect us. If not for them, our country would break down, and we would find ourselves serving an oligarchy.
Oh. Yeah. That is what we have. Never mind.
Release their names and titles.
“ Release their names and titles.”
So we can release the hounds.
Indeed Betsy,
The world owes a great debt to your bloodhound Sundance.
Good afternoon, dear Patrick. Yes indeed. Who do we trust? There is only one.
I hope you are sharing this site with your fellow Brits.
And I prayerfully hope you can stay warm, with enough food, as we watch the madness in the home of our hearts, and here. I wish a peaceful Christmas with prayers for a better year to come for you and all whom you know and love.🌲 God bless you, my friend.B
Indeed. I feel as if I am back in school. Taking notes as I am reading. All details past and present.
Read long enough at the Treehouse, and you will have a Master’s degree in (actual) political science in no time.
” Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was the first elected official to be taken out by former President Obama’s deployment of Twitter as a community activist tool for revolution in 2011. “
Obama, McCain and Graham also tried to take out Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi
and reinstall Mohammad Morsi (Egypt’s Adolf Hitler) and the Muslim Brotherhood (Egypt’s Nazi Party) to power, but they failed.

At some point, the price for all of this deception/corruption, will become due & payable.
Justice is not always on this side of heaven.
It is due and payable right now, Tad. With interest accumulating every single day.
Wishful thinking. Lots of despots have lived long lives and died of old age in their beds.
“Mike Morell was made CIA Director after General Petraeus was removed in 2012 by then DNI James Clapper at the behest of President Obama.”
One of the very few good moves Obama made. Almost as good as Trump made when he removed Mattis, Petraeus’s insane Muslim “Hearts and Minds” cohort..
Making Mike Morell the head of the CIA was a ‘good move’? Can we assume you are only referring to the ‘General Petraeus was removed’ part?
Obama/ Clinton love nothing better than pulling off a regime change
Speaking between network interviews, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton jokes with reporter on early, unconfirmed reports that deposed Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi had been killed.

Yeah, ha, ha…..We dodged a bullet when this hag got “Trumped”.
Elon’s choice of reporters to release this information to is interesting. Neither are conservatives.
That would seem to me to be a tactical advantage as it makes it harder for the left to attack the messenger … not that they won’t do it anyway.
Although their numbers have shrunk, some liberals remain who actually are liberals and belie in free speech, like Glenn Greenwald. Much better than handing the release over to well known ‘conservatives’ like Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Mike Pompao and Mike Pence.
Neither is Elon.
But my guess is that by allowing “independent” leftist reporters to release the information, Elon is able to blunt attacks that is doing the bidding of conservatives, or finding common cause with them. I think its a rational tactical move.
Credibility for the masses….interesting they would put their careers on the line.
This is a crime scene of epic proportions, their putting out this information will make them famous. This will make Woodward and Bernstein look like the pikers/frauds they really are in comparison.
All 4 just reported what their handlers told them to report. It’s not journalism it’s public relations.
This seems like a limited hangout. Notice what they aren’t talking about. Lockdowns and jabs. Suppressing dissenting doctors. Suppressing information about ivermectin. Not a peep about any of that from Weiss and Taibbi.
Can we hope that in the next tranche…….?

Seems like this link has been removed!
“The U.S. government control over these social media platforms is ultimately what lies at the heart of the latest Twitter Files release.”
But … but … but … I thought Musk was covering all that up for his fellow deep staters?
If it were right writers and the named names I would bet this would be already shut down under NatSec concerns.
I suspect we are still a long ways from determining the why’s and motives of Elon (or the government, or both) releasing the Twitter files.
Why not just release everything to the public and let the chips fall where the may, no redactions.
They strategically release information so when the full story comes out nobody really cares.
The MAGA Norden Bombsight (aka Sundance) is definitely over target with this article.
Can drop a 1,000 lb bomb into a pickle barrel from 5,000 feet. 🙂
Just want to point out that speech suppression and narrative engineering was critical not for the purpose of manipulating elections. Nothing could stop MAGA from prevailing in a fair election. The cabal knew the wave that would drown them all was coming.
It was essential to cover up the crime of election fraud after the fact especially in respect to the covid hoax narratives. The key ingredient that made it all possible. We are in uncharted territory now.
^^THIS^^
I agree MP’s comment is spot on!
SD showing Bari and Matt how to successfully post a Twitter Drop without having to watch paint dry to get the next point.
Well done and
Great points.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1601686035049521152.html
They are lucky to have his contribution! (Though if there really is something for Suspicious Cat to sniff there, they may not be happy about it.)
I hope Musk read that thread.
Inside government one is protected, outside the club…it’s their fault.
Focus on what’s not said, leads one to the truth.
I believe Occupy Wall Street was the 1st test in 2011. The next was the Arab Spring.
Occupy was the recon mission. Wholeheartedly believe that was it’s purpose.
What cities gave the least push back on all the disruption? They most likely got the 2020 riots down the road.
Also, which of these cities were later gifted with a Soros DA, so that the disruption could be turned up to 11
if necessary?
Basically a scouting operating to see which areas would let the worst bullshit slide. They wound up getting
sold down the river for being so understanding and empathetic.
Mubarak was thrown in jail in Egypt right after that color revolution and was finally released when those who usurped their power via the Arab Spring were removed from office.
Is this why people occasionally post here insisting the DoJ is going to arrest PDT, because the same players in overthrowing legitimate governments are still using the same playbook?
DeSantis knows
We and the rest of the world are at war with our government.
It does help that the Mo. and La attorney generals lawsuits and the depositions of certain gov. officials ( as Sundance has pointed out) does help fill in some of the names that Taibbi and Weiss that purposely omitted . Lots of good info out of that lawsuit despite the 100’s of “I don’t recall”. Every little bit helps. Pray and help others.?
The current Battle Space says we must go with the owner of Twitter we have (Musk), rather than the owner of Twitter that we wish we had (Sundance).
Ugh! Another scarf lady! They’re everywhere.
Never trust a scarf lady.
🙂
Double chin hider.
Or to hide a truss, a la Felonia von Pantsuit (a.k.a. Hillary Rodham Clinton).
What a laugh
Thanks
I’m sure the Sunday morning shows will be all over these going on’s.
And the Jan 6 updates.
Well, of course, they will be.
What could possibly cause them to miss one of the greatest stories on earth ???
It seems to me the new owner of Twitter, for purely business reasons, knowing this potentially very illegal stuff occurred, would want to shift all attention and blame to former executives and employees to protect current Twitter ownership and staff from lawsuits. He also wouldn’t want to be naming names in the government. That’s corporate suicide. Doesn’t Occam’s Razor suggest he’s looking out for his net worth and the value of the company to shareholders with these planned, vetted and controlled releases?
Occam’s Razor dictates that if his priority was his net worth he never would have set foot in this un-Godly mess.
He did try to bail at a very late, not possible date.
I look forward to his explanation of how he is going to stop it.
Then I look forward to how Congress/SCOTUS is going to stop it at Facebook, google etc. the fourth branch think they have every legal right to collude/spy using social media’s help, even using it for propaganda & false narratives.
What good is exposure without corrective action.
Add Brazil…
As the truth comes out it shows Obumer has the blood of millions of people on his hands. Thanks to Elon forcing Twitter to release the undeniable evidence of the crimes that were committed.
Move over Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot and other genocidal criminals here comes Obumer .
I know some on this site don’t care for Elon, but without him taking over Twitter all this evidence would still be hidden. I’m pretty sure trolls would like to see Elon fail as they inundate the internet comment sections with their poisonous comments.
So far I’m extremely grateful for what Elon has done at Twitter. I can hardly wait for the next drop.
And he hasn’t charged us anything!
Our DOD charges us $850 Billion a year (of which they gave $85 Billion to the Taliban) and doesn’t even protect our border from invasion by million of nation invaders, just in the past year. And then there is Ukraine, that charges us $100 Billion a year and does nothing for us, but maybe gets us into WWIII.
https://www.cfr.org/blog/egypt-omar-theories
“President Obama hailed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak‘s abrupt decision earlier today to step down, ending his 30-year-reign, as Egyptian armed forces took control of the country’s leadership.
“The people of Egypt have spoken. Their voices have been heard and Egypt will never be the same,” the president said. “By stepping down, President Mubarak responded to the Egyptian people’s hunger for change, but this is not the end of Egypt’s transition. It’s the beginning.”
Obama praised the protesters and their peaceful demonstrations that have rocked the country for the past 18 days.
“Over the last few weeks, the wheel of history turned at a blinding pace,” he said.
The president called on Egypt‘s new leadership to lift the controversial emergency law that has been in place almost continuously since 1967 and gives the government far-reaching powers at the expense of judicial review and civil liberties. He also urged a peaceful and constructive transition to free and fair elections.”
Obama Hails Mubarak’s Resignation: ‘Egypt Will Never Be the Same’
https://abcnews.go.com/International/obama-hails-hosni-mubaraks-resignation-egypt/story?id=12891572
I found this confusing at the time this was going on. Watching US NGO’s in Egypt get detained for being subversive and Bill Ayers going over there to demonstrate with Hamas. Now it all makes sense.
“…so too is Weiss and Taibbi structuring their public reviews of the Twitter files to draw attention only to the Twitter executives outside government.”
Always a ‘limited hangout’ as they say… NEVER the whole truth and nothing but the truth…. Always a cover-up for corrupt federal law enforcement…
Wash, rinse, repeat….
LiveFree…: That’s exactly what’s happening. Cleaning up the crime scene. Policing up the empty shell casings, wiping down the door knobs and whisking away those two highball glasses (the ones with the finger prints), sitting on the mantel piece.
So true, billrla…. Great description (one might even suspect you have some experience 😉😊)…
There used to be a series on Netflix called ‘Spotless’, a black comedy-drama about two brothers who ran a crime scene cleaning business…
It seems whether it’s Barr or IG’s or Huber or Durham or Musk, whomever is supposed to be providing sunlight and full transparency, is really mostly just cleaning up the crime scene….
Unlike ‘Spotless’, this ‘show’ isn’t the least bit funny….
The biggest part of this story? While the US govt was busy censoring and interfering with conservatives they ignored the massive pedophile and child trafficking activity taking place on the platform. For years and years. The FBI is a criminal protection racket for child exploitation. Long suspected. Now shown to be true.
I think that you are going to find that the US government didn’t ignore it, they created it.
The Federal government is now the largest human trafficker on the planet.
I doubt they actually give a rats about the children – or the Pedo’s – but they DO CARE a great deal about having that info – which can then be used to illicit all kinds of future “favors” . – or else. Gets all kinds of people, great and small to toe the line and give up the goods, or shut it – whatever is preferable.
The more realistic answer is it gives them leverage in some circumstances I would guess.
Too busy watching each other’s backsides (literally).
The same thing happened in 2016 but they thought hillary would crush Trump. They underestimated him. Btw since 2016 no national candidate for public office as a demokkkrat has actually campaigned. Hillary started the trend in 2016. The fix is in
In light of what we know now, perhaps the heavily attacked Michelle Bachmann was correct about the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the Democrat Party?

Read it. Willfully obtuse comes to mind. A good position if you are already infiltrated by those who practice “taqiyya”.
I knew about this when all the commotion against MuBarak was going down. YouTube had all kinds of video were the State Dept were fling in young people from all over the world with Facebook and Google teaching them to use social media to bring down their govt. Our government has been messing with others nations elections for many years. I streamed when the young people of Egypt thought they were fighting for their own democracy only to have some Muslim leader who had been band flown in to take over. It’s amazing what you can find online if you look for it. The media here will never report this stuff.

I am thinking of changing my screen name to “Catastrophe Reality”..
That would be more on point unless the trajectory that the CFR/Globalists/Hegelian Dialectic political fraud system are steering us towards is not changed.
I do like it my friend
I like your current screen name. I was thinking of changing to Realist Theorist.
So why do ‘they’ care about public opinion when they can stuff ballot boxes and electronically flip votes?
My guess is they know that they must have some critical ratio of useful idiots to MAGA in order to pull off the above.
For example, let’s say the MAGA to useful idiot ratio is 10 to 1. Let’s also assume that MAGA produces 10x the economic value of the useful idiots in real terms. So make that 100 to 1 in terms of who keeps civilization moving, namely MAGA types.
In short ballot and election fraud can only do so much.
At some point, MAGA figures out we don’t need the parasites and moves to act on that knowledge in significant ways.
Anyway, that is my guess as to why shaping public opinion is so important.
History says there has to be an enemy so people don’t focus on the government.
Ayn Rand called MAGA types ‘producers’ in Atlas Shrugged. Same idea. The produces stopped producing and let the leeches destroy themselves.
Those stealing elections need someone called Election threat Executive ?
Communists always name their agencies the opposite of what they really are.
Seems like when you, private person, join the feds to stick it to John Q Citizen, that when the axe falls it strikes you but your accomplice escapes into the labyrinth of the intelligence community and the legal-judicial good ‘ol boys club.
Not everyone on the playground is your friend, especially if you’re susceptible to sweet talk and financial inducements — you could find yourself in deep trouble and deep-state poopy.
public-private partnerships are Fascism.
I’ve been saying this same thing for years. People can’t handle the “F”-word, but that’s exactly the system we have in-place in america today and have had in-place for many decades. The administrative deep-state runs most major companies under the radar by administrative rule-making and the tacit threat of personal prosecution if you don’t place nice. It’s a slick system because it doesn’t matter who controls congress and who controls the WH. It’s 100% separate from elected government.
Call it Crony-Capitalism, call it Corporatism, call it Economic Fascism. All the same really. Just semantics.

Mike Morell was also the CIA person that gave the presidential briefing to GWB on the morning of 9/11. Best check it out on Wikipedia, before they scrub it.
all the focus on twitter (rightfully so, BTW), but does anyone really think this wasn’t going on across the media from the legacy news offices to every single technology company including ISPs and wireless providers? The administrative deep-state doesn’t have to send smoking-gun messages to the C-Suite at AT&T to get them to play along. All of this can be communicated in a tacit way.
The GOP knows exactly how this goes and is mostly OK with it. Don’t expect much more than window-dressing for the Hannity crowd.
Felix the Cat: Indeed, Twitter is just the current focus of everyone’s attention, and all the other media, social media and search companies would prefer the attention to remain focused on Twitter.
All the more reason to be watching elsewhere.
Can someone tell me…is the FBI still working in the offices of Perkins Coie as evidenced by Durham?
I find it helpful in tech matters to take the tech out of the equation, in order to try to understand the tech matters.
Imagine that during the 1956 presidential campaign, the govt. de facto nationalized all newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations, by approving and censoring info to benefit their preferred outcomes.
At the same time, what if it became common for citizens to discover govt. employees or contractors inside their kitchens, opening and reading their mail, or even brazenly stealing envelopes from the mailbox?
And what percentage of the country would have approved of it all, back then or even just 20 years ago?
About 5% then. About 50% now.
Watching the tremendous enthusiasm for Trump during the 2020 campaign, apathy for the candidate in the basement and the mountain of evidence of cheating, I would not be surprised that at least 60% of the vote actually went to Trump.
A good Great Reset had already occurred in 2016 in reaction to the Bush and Obama years and the 1990’s. The citizens had awakened and that is the genie that they are attempting to beat back into the bottle.
Michael Shellenberger should be putting out Twitter #4 tomorrow. Let’s see if there is a pattern.
1. TWITTER FILES, PART 4
The Removal of Donald Trump: January 7
As the pressure builds, Twitter executives build the case for a permanent ban
He’s should just leave Twitter out of it and say Social Media is a crime scene.
Thanks Sundance
Yet once again
We must be grateful for even little wins. Our “rights” and what we thought about the law, and what is “fair and right” has been obliterated by a one sided doj, fbi, etc. We can’t even get the truth on the P. Pelosi cases. You have 300 Jan 6 th prisoners locked up in horrible conditions and without trials for over a year, crooked elections. This EM twtr deal HAS to be looked on as a win, albeit small so far. Give it a chance to reveal more. It’s hard to stop an avalanche of crookedness. Pray and help others.
Giving access to these liberal “journalists” is utter bull.
We’re all being played. Elon is owned by the feds.
If he truly is on the up and up,he’d dump everything – post haste.
yeah, I was just coming here to say:
“So now we have to ask who owns and controls Matt Taibbi … and ultimately, Elon Musk”
… in response to:
“Notice how both Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi are drawing attention to the Twitter executives, but NOT drawing any attention to the government officials.”
Obama and co are evil and hate this country. Karma will come one day
I’m thinking you need to read this thread…
Gadde is going to sue the socks off Kristen Ruby?
Does she not know how to spell her own name? Or is she mispelling on purpose?
Parody account.
Given this censorship led to the death of 100k or more with the force vax these people should be held criminally responsible for murder.
Good cop – bad cop routine.
Elon the Noble – vs – rogue employees
The missing pieces are the ‘order givers’ outside Twitter.
Yes, the 2020 Election was “Rigged”
The Twitter Files are the Tip of the Iceberg
https://sashastone.substack.com/p/yes-the-2020-election-was-rigged#details
Despite the typical gaslighting by the media and blue checks on Twitter, the government had to have been involved in suppressing the laptop story.
According to Miranda Divine, who broke the story in the New York Post, the one big missing piece, the smoking gun, is the FBI directive to deep-six the laptop story on Twitter, as they did at Facebook.
Divine says, “I suspect Elon Musk has been leaned on, and he has kept some information in reserve.”
Michael Goodwin in the New York Post references Lee Fang’s revelation about the FBI:
Moreover, as Intercept reporter Lee Fang has detailed and as a former Twitter official confirmed, the FBI held weekly meetings in Silicon Valley with tech officials about policing disinformation. Of course, their definition of disinformation was so broad as to include virtually anything that made Joe Biden or Democrats look bad.
As the Twitter files unfolded, the blue-check army began to swarm Matt Taibbi in an attempt to mock, humiliate and discredit him by any means necessary. Their big crime against Musk is that he’s the “richest man in the world.” They crudely put these together to suggest Taibbi was some sort of PR shill for Musk.
