Twitter file release #7 comes from Michael Shellenberger and focuses on how the FBI specifically engaged with Twitter before, during and after the Hunter Biden Laptop story surfaced. [RELEASE HERE]
There are some interesting facets to the Shellenberger outline including his naming of the communications method, “Teleporter, a one-way communications channel from the FBI to Twitter, ” and Shellenberger’s identification of payments from the FBI to Twitter in order to cover the expenses related to the censorship they requested.
As Shellenberger notes on paragraph 46, “The FBI’s influence campaign may have been helped by the fact that it was paying Twitter millions of dollars for its staff time. “I am happy to report we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!” reports an associate of Jim Baker in early 2021.”
[Twitter File #7 Release Here]
Overall, the Twitter file 7 release shows the FBI being well aware of the Hunter Biden laptop issue long before the fall of 2020 and taking specific action to mitigate any potential damage to the Biden campaign. The FBI was aware of the laptop in December of 2019, and the engagements with the social media platform were transparently proactive measures with political intentions.
The story weaves in and out of Washington DC and transfers the action items from DC to the San Francisco field office of the FBI where Elvis Chan was in charge of coordinating control over the content of the Twitter platform.
Factually, a solid argument could be made that this specific release shows how the FBI Russiagate effort against Trump needed to exit Washington DC following the 2016 election, and so the majority of FBI’s anti-Trump activity for 2020 shifted to San Francisco.
Washington DC DOJ, FBI and Intelligence Community efforts focused on protecting itself from discovery of their activity in 2015 and 2016, while San Francisco became the headquarters for FBI anti-Trump efforts targeting 2020. This location shift aligns with the datapoint of Russiagate FBI Agent Joseph Pientka transferring from DC to San Francisco; with Elvis Chan taking the place of Pientka as the targeting focused on social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Google, YouTube, Instagram, etc).
Former FBI Legal Counsel James Baker was fired after the Russiagate activity started to surface. Baker then becomes the General Counsel at Twitter, able to coordinate and receive ongoing FBI efforts. Baker would be positioned to influence Twitter executives to accept the FBI instructions as well as deflect any internal questions that might arrise about the platform being used as an extension of the FBI.
As noted by James Baker’s email in the file release, Baker also dissuaded the financial concerns by coordinating payments from the FBI to cover the internal costs to Twitter. The FBI was paying Twitter for influence and control operations and James Baker handled that transfer of funds.
On the financial side of the equation, I would be on the lookout for additional information about subsidies on the tech side of the platform operation. Specifically, data processing offsets for Twitter as a result of this DHS/FBI/ODNI relationship. My suspicion for multiple years has been that Twitter tech shifted from an open portal type connection (front of building) to Twitter actually operating on the backbone of DHS servers (back of building).
From the FBI San Francisco Field Office (SFFO) Special Agent Elvis Chan was coordinating the activity. Specifically, Elvis Chan was coordinating the overall FBI division influence operation of the DHS effort.
One rather stunning aspect to Chan’s role and responsibility, a point that highlights the importance placed on the FBI influence effort, showing the scale of Chan’s reach, was his ability to independently authorize security clearances for the Twitter executives based entirely on Yoel Roth just sending him a list of names.
This security clearance angle may explain why Twitter is currently concerned about releasing specific information related to the FBI “Teleporter” channel being outlined.
In summary, the Twitter File #7 release shows an active 2020 political operation conducted by the FBI in advance of the election mirroring the FBI operation in 2016 around the fraudulent Trump-Russia construct. The FBI is conducting domestic political intelligence operations on behalf of the United States government.
The FBI is essentially the soviet-era FSB.
Social media is under DHS surveillance, facilitated by platform partnerships and the FBI mission is based on the results. Domestic thought crimes and wrong-speak are a high priority.
According to this report, Garrett Graff was a participant:

Garrett was also the Board Chair of the NCoC, a ticket issuing civil society stakeholder of the Stanford Election Integrity Partnership.
Graff wrote a very well-researched and seemingly comprehensive book on watergate that, was actually a limited hangout of sorts designed to keep everyone off the track of what really (probably) happened: the deep state taking down of Nixon- with the probable help of our friend Stefan Halper.

They used technology to brainwash, cause wars, topple leaders, steal elections, cause riots. Not just in America, but around the world, and until we take them out, they will keep doing it
Scorched earth!
File 7 reveals even more solid information about our putrid government.
Evil pervades every system that we have ever known or valued.
Many of the vile power players are wholly demonic. 100%
They work daily to dominate or kill all humanity, worldwide.
Some are cannibals, baby killers, and human butchers.
They have established an elaborate culture that celebrates every depravity that exists.
Their defilement of all truth and beauty exceeds imagination.
They no longer even bother being subtle.
They proudly hate God and his creation.
But we have a champion who is all powerful.
Our God has already addressed this ancient enemy and won.
He told us this truth and we are comforted.
God hears our prayers of thanks, in advance.
It is time to pick up the sword my friends! We MUST do what we must do!
Straight truth here. Only God can help us now.
Not only is social media under surveillance, it is part of the DHS. It’s just another division or department. It allows the government to ignore the constitution. They no longer care who knows what. They dare anybody to do something about it. I think Sundance has to word things carefully.
“Big Tech interfering in elections is bad enough.
The FBI doing it is far, far worse.” – Josh Hawley
So why are there not arrests? Can Trump sue the basturds? Start with Comey, Rosenstien Mueller, Weismann and Wray. This eveidence is enought in itself to overturn the 2020 election.
Its Trump and the militia and “sue” or “suits” happen after the period of public danger and imminent danger is past.
bill barr?
I need help with a puzzle, as I understand it the Bank of China is UBS and Elvis Chan appears to have worked at UBS, and now I understand from Sundance that “Elvis Chan was in charge of coordinating control over the content of the Twitter platform”.
How can both be true?
“The story weaves in and out of Washington DC and transfers the action items from DC to the San Francisco field office of the FBI where Elvis Chan was in charge of coordinating control over the content of the Twitter platform.”

Worth also remembering that:
1) FBI had the Hunter Biden laptop in late 2019 (iirc, Dec 2019). Certainly they had examined it thoroughly before the Oct 2020 revelations and NYP article.
2) Rudy Guiliani’s email and iCloud accts were under active surveillance in this period. Hence they knew every move of Guiliani and the team working on the laptop and with NY Post. I also expect that this is why they were able to phone the agents interviewing Bobulinski during the interview. They already knew all of what Bobulinski would say b/c of this spying on Guiliani (PDJT’s attorney, btw).
The illegalities and violations would take one’s breath away if we hadn’t seen so many such illegal violations of our norms. And they want us to say, ho hum because we are used to their corruption.
One would think that paying Twitter 3,000,000 dollars to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story is a campaign donation from the FBI to the Biden election campaign. Hatch Act anyone?
Elvis – another numbnut.
Ship adds an interesting angle to all this.

The FBI is conducting domestic political intelligence operations on behalf of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY
You are half right. The FBI is conducting domestic political intelligence operations on behalf of the DEMOCRAT and RINO PARTY. We have to let the small time republican voters know that the elite circle of the republican party is as dirty as the democrat party .
Tech sidebar: one-way “teleporter”? Strange term to be using.
What technology(ies) enable “one-way”? Who was the provider?
Note that the technical capability suite had to account for classification. A hypothesis on my part given the temp/permanent clearance document. Were there multiple comms paths? What happened to classified information after use? Who was the authorizing authority? Are there records of who held clearances? Did any of these individuals receive background checks (or more depending on classification level)?
What an eff’ing mess this could be.
What I am wondering about is just what the extent was of 2016 “Russian” social media involvement.
I poked around the internet and can’t find much more than some number of twitter accts that put out somewhere around a million tweets (this number might include retweets). I remember one acct named, something like TN_GOP. I think we followed each other. To the best of my memory, it just tweeted unflattering BUT TRUE statements and funny memes about Herself.
On Facebook, about $100K worth of ads, some coming AFTER the election.
I don’t think any of that is worth all the fuss the FBI was/is making. Especially when compared to the “COST” of efforts to contain these accts. The cost mainly being our freedom of speech.
It is incredible that everyone in social media felt responsible for Trump’s win in 2016 because they didn’t police this mere drop in the ocean of social media activity.
Our side is simply incompetent when it comes to messaging.
What a small world.
John Carlin was the @AspenInstitute‘s Cybersecurity & Technology Program Chair at time of the “tabletop exercise”. This hack-and-dump charade might’ve been his brainchild given “it’s the kind of attack that keeps [him] up at night”.

This dude just keeps popping up, time after time after time.
Still say that his whole M.O. is intimidation. Keeping anyone that strays from the

Damn it.
Dorsey announced that he will making a 1 million $ grant each year to Signal. That is a chat app which, to this point, has been a more secure alternative to MS, Apple, etc., chat/messaging apps.
Taxpayer dollars paid for the FBI to monitor Twitter. That’s rich.
I think ALL of the money used for useless investigations and hearings should be reimbursed to the US taxpayers: Russia hoax, impeachments of Trump, the Mueller investigation/report, J6 committee, Covid hoax, etc.
Apparently the media blew it with the PodestaEmails leak in 2016. Who knew?
SF was also home to Room 641A, the 2013 illegal surveillance scandal.
A reporter there asked why Pelosi killed the Amash amendment in 2014 that would have defunded it.
Hey San Francisco, Your Rep. Pelosi Saved The NSA Phone Metadata Program
There is irony in that the elected official that represents the location where Twitter is headquartered is in favor of the NSA’s intra-United States data collection activities. Twitter, of course, became famous for its lack of cooperation with the NSA.
