Twitter File release #10 was shared by journalist Matt Taibbi on Christmas Eve [Outline Here]. In many ways this is the most important release so far; not from the context of the internal Twitter communication Taibbi cites, but rather from what it means in the bigger picture.
As with the prior releases, Taibbi is describing the evolution of a process we suspected, discussed, outlined and then documented at CTH for several years. Taibbi is outlining exactly how the public-private partnership behind Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop was created. Each new revelation, and Elon Musk’s reaction to that revelation, is pointing toward Musk not having any knowledge of what was going on in the Coffee Shop Production Space.
[Twitter File Release #10 Here]
Taibbi shares the scale and scope of contacts into Twitter from a variety of government agencies including the CIA. However, as the public-private partnership over the platform moderation continued in time, access to controlling content expanded from federal agencies to even state and local officials. In essence, the control over platform content evolved into a whole of government approach.
This is a critical inflection point in the evolution of the Twitter file release because the ramifications now begin to surface publicly. Taibbi walks through Twitter being overwhelmed by the inbound instructions from various agencies. The FBI acting as the gatekeeper for Homeland Security, Defense Dept, CIA, State Dept., and other partnership agencies within government through the “Foreign Influence Task Force” (FITF).
As Taibbi provides context for the internal conversation, “The operation is far bigger than the reported 80 members of the Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), which also facilitates requests from a wide array of smaller actors – from local cops to media to state governments. Twitter had so much contact with so many agencies that executives lost track. Is today the DOD, and tomorrow the FBI? Is it the weekly call, or the monthly meeting? It was dizzying.”
It is easy to get immediately focused on the granular details of the operation to control the public conversation.
Yes, various government agencies including DHS, FBI and the CIA were telling Twitter what content was permitted and what content to remove. However, it is important to stand back and look at the big picture as it is being described.
Remember, as an outcome of these contacts real consequences to users took place.
Not only was content removed and users suspended, but also in the expanded dynamic of the social media space, people were blacklisted, deplatformed, demonetized, de-banked and had their support systems removed.
Content creators, adverse to the interests of government agencies, on multiple platforms, were attacked in this process that extends far beyond Twitter.
As Taibbi again notes, “The government was in constant contact not just with Twitter but with virtually every major tech firm. These included Facebook, Microsoft, Verizon, Reddit, even Pinterest, and many others. Industry players also held regular meetings without government.” This is far beyond a first amendment issue, now we are entering the space where government is targeting not only the voice of specific people, but also their platform, their incomes, their livelihoods and ability to operate.
Twitter File release #10 is an inflection point, now showing government using multiple social media platforms to target specific people. How much deplatforming and demonetization was done at the request of a government agency? Those questions are where this is going….
Keep in mind, these files are only as they relate to Twitter, yet these files as outlined by Taibbi show government agencies searching platform content using keywords. “They have some folks in the Baltimore field office and at HQ that are just doing keyword searches for violations. This is probably the 10th request I have dealt with in the last 5 days,” Taibbi shares as one example in paragraph 27.
If the FBI (DHS, CIA, ODNI, DoD, DoS) had assigned personnel to do keyword searches on Twitter, it stands to reason they were doing content review on YouTube, Google, Facebook, Instagram and yes, even WordPress-Automattic. Those government agencies then reach out to the platform control officers with instructions on content and account removal. Let that sink in for a moment.
I would strongly urge everyone to read the entire outline provided by Taibbi, and (as I see his eyes starting to fathom exactly where this story is going) I give him credit for this qualifier at the end. “The CIA has yet to comment on the nature of its relationship to tech companies like Twitter. Twitter had no input into anything I did or wrote. The searches were carried out by third parties, so what I saw could be limited.”
The larger objective of U.S. government involvement in social media has always been monitoring and surveillance of the public conversation, shaping and influencing public opinion, and ultimately controlling outcomes. Put another way, the illusion of freedom.

And it’s all funded by Congress aka We the People
Merry Christmas
Funded by money borrowed from China
Reminds me of this ad from around 2010 that takes place in a college classroom in China in 2030. The professor is lecturing about great empires, including the U.S., and what makes them fail. It still gives me chills:
The greatest danger is the purging of the military to create a military that will be willing to murder innocent Americans.
The are in a hurry because they expect everything to devolve into chaos soon . Our everyday world, our towns and villages will become prisons and our police and military will be our guards.
Unlikely scenario. Not nearly enough enforcers to control every city, town & village.
Especially with gas so high. The local jurisdictions here are struggling to keep the LEO in their cars now.
The police state actually pulls back to protect itself and the illegitmate government paying them.
You on the other hand you are on your own.
The police state also uses food distribution as a method of control, initially, until it runs short from a collapsing economy.
The end game comes when the purchasing power of their pay isn’t enough to leave their families defenseless.
I doubt the cost of gas will stop the regime from using it. They’ll just confiscate whatever they need
They will concentrate on THE CITIES, that is always their focus.
the Feds are great at starting events, covid shots, lockdowns, etc. However, they sux at finishing the job, which is a benefit to us treepers.
Of course they have.
The model is a prison. You apply force at a point and control stuff like food and energy supply to areas.
You would need to occupy large resource chains, be able to enforce their security or live such a basic existence to oppose it successfully (like the Afgahns or Iraqis).
Have you ever seen the backups on major city highways created simply by a vehicle parked on the shoulder? What happens if that vehicle just happens to be in a spot where a majority of shipping and traffic flows into the city? I can’t imagine the chaos if a half dozen vehicles strategically just wouldn’t run for 20 minutes around 7am or 4pm.
The basics of a socialist/communist takeover (from Lenin’s papers in Russia) is to nullify the local police because they can not be controlled. The focus is a nationalized force controlled centrally.
New World Order has long planned to use a UN army as the national police force.
That is why the UN needs to be abolished & especially in the US! We may be beyond the point where this can be accomplished at any time in the near future!
The brainwashing has been accomplished to a degree. Police willing to arrest a person for what he or she is thinking, is sci-fi insanity.
Allowing mobs to spit in their faces, burn buildings, beat, kill, is not a credit to the enforcement of law.
These are examples of submission to evil authority.
The instance of thought arrest was in England, should be a forewarning to us!
The other examples you used should never be allowed to occur again anywhere within our shores. Hopefully, some officer will be brave enough to fire the first shot!
‘We Kill People Based on Metadata’
David Cole
A bill to rein in NSA spying on Americans’ metadata is an important first step, but it addresses only one part of the NSA’s surveillance activities.
https://www.nybooks.com/online/2014/05/10/we-kill-people-based-metadata/
SO WHY DID FACEBOOK CHANGE ITS NAME TO META?
Didn’t Jack of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop name his new platform mastadon?
https://mastodon.social/explore
Why Masta-Don?
Because Mafia Don was taken?
Charlotte99: Why change Facebook’s name to Meta, as in meta-data)? Because Alphabet, as in alphabet agencies, had already been taken by Google.
“Each new revelation, and Elon Musk’s reaction to that revelation, is pointing toward Musk not having any knowledge of what was going on”
🙄
Hard to believe that he didn’t know that about something he spent so much time pursuing to purchase, and wanted so bad. Even the worst case “conspiracy theories”.
Myself, I have been amazed at all the what if evil scenarios I’ve wondered about, have been enacted, and then some. Being primed in junior high by reading Orwell’s 1984 helped.
This was a purchase based on principles, not profits.
I suspect he decided freedom of speech was a good enough reason to buy Twitter, and anything else going on or revealed would only have made him more certain to do the deal.
If his true goal was to shed sunlight, all this extra stuff is probably just icing on the cake. Based on how he’s laughing at the conspiracy theories proven true, I see a man tickled that he got to reveal the ugly side of the beast in a way that is irrefutable.
Put not your faith in princes.
Considering that all of his ‘principles’ (or businesses) rely on US government intervention, I’m somewhat skeptical.
There is such a thing as using the system without becoming a part there of! All of us here do that to some extent. Why would Musk go to such extremes to expose the dirty underside of Twitter if he was part of it?
Skepticism can be good, if you don’t let it blindfold you!
I wonder if Elon had ever heard of a thing called Parler?
Scary thing is that half the country thinks the FBI was doing the right thing. They blindly hate Trump that much. Got an earful from lefty son-in-law just yesterday about it.
Half the country has a Pavlovian hate response to the word Trump precisely because it has been neuro linguistically programmed for that response by the consent manufacturing machine.
Self-reinforcing loop.
How else did the government-hating left of the 1960’s turn into fans of the big government surveillance state inside of a single lifetime?
The question is, how to turn the machine off?
Remember, in 1776 only about 1/3 of the folks wanted to separate from England. Most wanted to keep the status quo.
I keep going back to the Revolution myself, and the events leading up to it. Sometimes it seems remarkable We shall soon see, I’ll bet
Those dedicated to Freedom are willing to lay their lives on the line. Not just in the Revolutionary, but the Civil & WWs I & II.
Unfortunately, I see our government manufacturing other wars & selling us a bill of goods. These “Conflicts” killed & wounded countless Americans.
Inhumane in all respects.
I don’t think some of them will ever get through their cognitive dissonance.
Even if they were freezing and starving in hard labor camp named after FJB himself.
They would somehow twist some story to blame PDJT.
My friend who has 6 academic degrees, and studied NLP intensively, said that it blew him away when he heard Obama using it openly in all his speechifying. Gave him the creeps.
NLP? Oh tweet below answered it.
Obama also claimed he was a Constitutional scholar! Unfortunately he seems to have been studying how to destroy this great document, instead of learning how to respect it!
Point well taken. That’s what blind hatred is.
In my day we used to call it “brain washed”.
Its how most humans work.
What people who are conscious fail to realise is that 80% of people are just semantic loop machines that run small closed loops that have been implanted through techniques like NLP and semantic hijacking that are embedded in all moving and print media. Their mind has been stunted intentionally to a proto-conscious behavior.
You think its entertainment, but it never has been. It part of the mechanism to generate a false reality. Movies, TV and music are the main form of this. They are your programming, as they inject below the reasoning layers directly without you noticing by pretending to represent something else. The trojan horse is not just a big wooden statue.
The key tell are opinions that are closed loops that generate strong emotional responses with no reasoning available to the individual as to how they were arrived at.
We are all susceptible in some form or another if you do not try and filter what is being presented to you.
Cognitive dissonance on full display. Normally they just tell you to shut up or call you a name, cause the facts are not on their side. They all go to college and get indoctrinated, critical thinking be damned.
I’d worry about the other half of Pavlov’s dogs… Putting the focus on the 50% one can’t reach is a great means of excusing the stupidity of the 50% you stand amongst.
Not everyone hates Trump, some of us realize he’s got no answer beyond more big government and more party.
Progressives are progressives, irregardless of their lean in ideology.
Pretty obtuse.
Go have another 🥕🥕🥕
Unpleasant, but not really scary because that Lunatic Left, consisting of mostly looters & moochers, comprises at most 35-40% of the overall adult population. Best to ignore the brainwashed freaks (and guessing you did just that yesterday.)
The # of “looters and moochers isn’t nearly that high.
Remember the golden rule; he who has the gold, rules.
Bet he called you a “conspiracy theorist” wonder where he heard that term..? These small minded ….. always resort to name calling when they any knowledge of their own.. remember you can return the favor when they create another scamdemic
Its not 1/2 the country ! Maybe 5% They just want you to think that. There is a hell of a lot more of us . And we’re ready, and there shitten in there boots !
Less than that.
3.5%
https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/02/why-nonviolent-resistance-beats-violent-force-in-effecting-social-political-change/
…”Recent research suggests that nonviolent civil resistance is far more successful in creating broad-based change than violent campaigns are, a somewhat surprising finding with a story behind it.
When Erica Chenoweth started her predoctoral fellowship at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs in 2006, she believed in the strategic logic of armed resistance.”…
Not just Trump, those who support him too.
Yes. My daughter still becomes a lunatic over Trump. We can’t believe the Trump Derangement Syndrome is still that strong.
I hate it when people do that at family get togethers. Some idiot bird brained fool did that this last Thanksgiving at my son’s house. She was a so called native American. I say “so called” because even they migrated here over the land bridge though granted it was much earlier than the rest of us. But she sat for an hour and spewed hate about whites and American history, and in my opinion showed a complete lack of class. Even my ex husband, himself a native American left early because of her stupid ranting. He only lives a few miles away, but rarely visits my son’s house because of all the lefty lunacy there. At family holidays I keep my politics to myself, and usually try to nip it in the bud when other people trumpet theirs. If I can’t change the subject I leave the room or go home.
Also, my liberal son is beginning to turn in his opinions too. As he was driving me to the airport he had conservative talk radio on. When I asked him about it he said “these democrats are f***** G up this country, mom!” His wife, however, remains with her head firmly in the sand . I just hope their marriage can survive the rift. She’s as sweet as pie in every other way.
Sorry for the rant; thanks for letting me vent.
When the FBI attacks its critics as ‘conspiracy theorists,’ it’s time to reform the bureau
by Jonathan Turley
https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/3787443-when-the-fbi-attacks-its-critics-as-conspiracy-theorists-its-time-to-reform-the-bureau/
Turley is making some courageous comments.
Since when is it “ courageous” to speak the plain Truth?
He used to be a lefty…He’s getting majorly red-pilled and being vocal about it.
He’s just like Musk in the short clip. Turley now sees the entire FBI, DoJ, and Intel community truly is breaking the law everywhere and always. He’s just polite about how he’s calling it out (to avoid being sued, is suspect).
And once seen it cannot be unseen.
When you live in a police state.
Criticizing the FBI is now ‘disinformation’
If you watch the HBO series Chernobyl, the words disinformation and misinformation were used repeatedly.
How little things change when you live in a police state.
Wow, that came from The Hill?
The Gateway Pundit can be hyperbolic at times but this headline is not:
“Judge Peter Thompson Rules Elections with Broken Machines in 60% of Precincts and No Chain of Custody for Ballots Are Free, Fair and Certifiable”
The corrupt electors excuse was that illegal or deliberate intent by Hobbs and company could not be proven. (as SD noted.) The FBI is already using specious arguments of “good intentions and other reasons” to excuse their Twitter manipulations. i.e. They “work hard every day to protect the public..” Like in 2015-16
It is quite possible that the USA is so systemically corrupt to its official core that it will be impossible “for the people” to reverse it anytime soon. Especially with McConnell and the other Uniparty enablers like Romney constantly interfering in corrective actions of any kind that might benefit the people. The GOP is the essential counterbalance in the Republic but it’s largely corrupted.
Mark Steyn posted an audio show from a French hospital where he’s recovering from 2 heart attacks. The vast corruption in the USA was his main subject. That is the impervious corrupt wall that stifles almost all virtuous and honest opposition and prevents real positive change or a return to freedom and sanity in the U.S.
“Remain calm! All is well!!”
A reasonable depiction of present events.
Time to go back to enjoying the “Christmas festivities.”
I originally checked into CTH to see what Christmas related articles they were posting but Taibbi’s Christmas Eve release could not be easily avoided by reputable news sources.
Many people will never read about this release.
Did Mark Steyn take the clot shot I wonder?
I don’t think so but I’m not sure. He was taking on several “controversial” or just causes and his blood pressure must have been high.
End stages of a dying empire. We will either assume control peacefully or the regime will implode with a power struggle to follow.
So thought experiment.
What if the deep red counties were to submit twice as many ballots as normal under the same ‘legislation from the bench’ rule above?
My guess is since the outcome isn’t in line with the illegitimate government suddenly the black-and-white election laws would apply and a full investigation would occur with criminal charges shortly there after.
what if we all threw out our tracking devices?
better yet…
what if Musk invented one that had a filter?
I do have a cell phone but I treat it like a landline. It stays home on my desk at all times. Never take it anywhere with me.
he could be creating demand.
Elon Musk Threatens To Make A New Phone If Google And Apple Ban Twitter (msn.com)
Not with me. I wouldn’t trust Musk to make a phone any more private than Google or Apple. With Twitter he is talking about wanting to develop even more data points per user to increase the value to advertisers. Privacy is not something he values.
He doesn’t have nearly enough money to pull that off. Look at any of the other attempts at it by other startups. So, if he does do it and is successful it’s because of the magic coffee.
I’m in if he does.
The only time I have a cell phone with me is when I go on long trips, just in case of trouble on the road. I hate having to take it, but being stranded in Atlanta or New Orleans or DC without a phone could affect my life.
Turn it off, and wrap it in foul, or put it in a mylar bag.
Is mylar really sufficient to block the signal? Probably would block GPS and BT… Snowden said it had to be a Faraday device.

Agree, but I think he’s delighted that it’s being revealed. Seems like he bought on Free Speach principle with a goal of sunlight on censorship, only to find a full blown secret political police state.

Statement by Secretary Jeh Johnson on the Designation of Election Infrastructure as a Critical Infrastructure Subsector
6 Jan 2017
https://www.dhs.gov/news/2017/01/06/statement-secretary-johnson-designation-election-infrastructure-critical
Given that wherever you are in a moment of time, things happening and responses to happenings are relative to that moment. The Founding Fathers(Mothers) basically had a snowball’s chance of pulling it off save for they had a relationship with God and it was evil they were up against. The US people and others around the world that have a relationship with God (Jesus the Christ) via the Holy Spirit, need to nurture that relationship continually. If we do that, we have nothing to fear, and can be confident that we will be led into glory when the time comes. We have no way of predicting the time, but we will know when it begins, and we will know what to do. I’m not a leader, but I know what side I’m on! We’ll know who the true leaders are, but it’s sure not the ones in power now. With God, all things are possible. Without Him we have a snowball’s chance. Merry Christmas!
Well, well, well, I’ve been waiting on this post from SD all day long. But took a break to enjoy the holiday.
For anyone reading this, including and especially SD, pay attention and follow along.
SD and everyone keeps pointing the finger and the FBLie and to a lesser degree, other alphabet agencies.
The coup in this country started with Kennedy. And YOU know who!
Think Epstein – ‘intelligence’ agencies blackmail schemes.
Think Schumer – ‘six ways from Sunday…’
Why was the FBI used? They are the ‘domestic’ law enforcement agency!
Why and how was the FBI used to foment their illegal activities? The current leaders were identified Lin ago and ‘dirt’ was found on them. They were then compromised, referred to be promoted, and then ordered, abused, and used to do what they do!
Why are the main emails at Twitter have the highest ‘sent to’s and ‘cc’s’ have the ‘tear line’ redacted? They were from the CIA!
Just at the time of the Kennedy assassination, ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE CIA!!!!!!!
Pay attention, folks!
How do we know that all of the “former” FBI and CIA staffers at Twitter are truly former not just a bunch of sheep dipped government staffers?
We actually don’t. Excellent question.
Musk seems to have been caught off balance by the amount of Government intrusion into Twitter. Makes me wonder how the sale ever took place, because the 3 letter agencies knew what they were doing, and they were in constant contact with their cohorts (“ex” FBI, CIA, et. al.) at Twitter. Was it the Government that attempted to stop the sale?
Wouldn’t you love to FOIA all the 3 letter agency internal emails that have relevance to Twitter, FB, YouTube, Google, etc.?
If you remember, the deal was in serious danger of falling apart. The pressure against Musk was working. The value of the company was tanking. The board was giving him an opportunity at an expensive out. Then suddenly it was all over. Musk said the deal was on and within a few days he was the owner. The question is: What was it that Musk saw or heard that caused the rapid conclusion of the deal? Find out what that was and a lot of the aftermath might just make sense.
“The board was giving him an opportunity at an expensive out”
That’s not what I recall. I remember the board suing him and forcing him to keep the deal.
The process went in circles. In the end they wanted him to back out and he insisted. The twitter mainstream and their corporate/government handlers and influencers saw Musk was going to be a disrupter.
But if you notice, the Government is still in control. All Musk bought was a title. Since it is still only Twitter being affected, the other ‘Big-Techs’ are not phased. With all the revelations about Twitter, has anything changed yet?
Okay I’ve got on my tin foil hat (with Christmas tinsel) —-
So why is the Government allowing Musk to roll out these revelations? Yeah, they’re hassling Musk and threatening investigations. But they are not bringing the full weight of the Government to crush him. They haven’t raided his home, nor charged him with endless crimes. They’re holding back, why?
My tin foil theory: The Government wants to get the population back to being entirely dependent on monopoly platforms that they control. The problem is that after some years of banning so many people, alternative platforms have arisen and they are thriving and growing. The answer? Bring in Musk on a white horse. Reveal some dirt and thereby reassure people that the New Twitter can be trusted.
It is working. Many, many people are abandoning third party platforms and rushing back to Twitter. Catturd hasn’t posted on Gab since November. MTG goes on her Gab account mainly to tell people to come over to Twitter to follow her. I have to assume there is a similar exodus on other competitors of Twitter.
For a little bit, the New Twitter will seem well freer, a breath of fresh air. All is well.
Then, once the Twitter competitors that everyone is now abandoning eventually fold and disappear and everyone is dependent on Twitter, the full weight of Govenment control will be recognized, too late. No alternative platforms to escape to.
… Ok, taking off my conspiracy hat now.
Not so tinfoil to me. It makes me wonder if the govt minions at Twitter realized that they needed to get all the election deniers and covid rebels and others back in the Twitter fold so they could spy on them better.
Notice that Trump hasn’t come back yet. Maybe there’s a reason — just like he suddenly moved his President-elect operations from the bugged Trump Tower to Bedminster… Okay, tinfoil hat is off now.
What’s his relationship with Omidyar like?
Mike Benz has a whole lot of info as well, corroborating and adding to my work since 20 Nov 2020. I just recently found him by accident.

LEAKED VIDEO: Google Leadership’s Dismayed Reaction to Trump Election
By Allum Bokhari
12 Sep 2018
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-google-leaderships-dismayed-reaction-to-trump-election
So far, we only see one side of this: government censorship of social media accounts through it’s network of government, NGO, MSM, and social media platform administrator snitches.
The network not only proscribed the narrative, it proactively amplified its own propaganda.
Reexamine what was published by leaders of the network in the weeks leading up to the election.
Garrett Graff, NCoC board chair, a stakeholder of the Stanford EIP, published several highly inflammatory, fear-based, low on fact, articles interviews, and videos in the weeks before the election.
Politico, NPR, Wired, and VICE, are a few that provided a microphone for Graff with quoted “experts” like Alex Stamos, Matt Masterson, and, Chris Krebs, all leadership of the EIP.
Here are a few examples:
from October 2020,
“Lame Duck Armageddon, While the rest of Us Die” produced by Graff and VICE.
(1/4 million views, 6000 likes, 2,300 comments)
His articles for Wired:
https://www.wired.com/author/garrett-m-graff/
Here’s an interview with NPR:
https://www.npr.org/2020/07/29/896840100/what-could-go-wrong-on-election-day-2020
…”GRAFF: On one level, we are more equipped insofar as the Department of Homeland Security is paying much closer attention. The FBI is paying much closer attention. Election officials are paying much closer attention.
But at the same time, all number of adversaries and bad actors saw how successful that attack was in 2016. And so you have a situation this year where you’re not just worried about foreign adversaries. We’re also worried about domestic adversaries spreading disinformation or misinformation related to the election.”…
While these gatekeepers throttled alternate voices, researchers, journalists, and fact checkers, they peddled enormous amounts of their own false narrative, disinformation, propaganda, and fear across the platforms, the MSM, and their sympathetic and funded NGO networks.

…”The Louisville Metro Police Foundation (LMPF) is made up of representatives from major corporations that raise funds for LMPD. These people are bankers, lawyers, CEO’s, realtors, millionaires, etc. These people have decided to build alliances between their companies and the police, rather than invest into Louisville. Thanks to them, LMPD continues to grow and militarize. LMPF has been silent as they watch police officers brutalize peaceful protesters. LMPF was silent when police officers killed Breonna Taylor. THEY DO NOT CARE. Here are places to visit that support the local police state.”…

Whete we are is unfathomable to me.
I used to joke I could always move to Australia, but they’re woke now. What’s left. Poland?
No, not Poland, as it appears to be the next country up to walk the plank once Ukraine is completely 404’d.
They are putting their hand in the cookie jar to peel off western-most Ukraine, which is quite knowingly suicidal seeing Ukraine getting defenestrated before their very eyes.
They are managing to piss off both the Germans and the Russians. Again.
Poland is calling up and training many of its citizens to be a defense force, so I’m not sure I’d be heading there.

“Each new revelation, and Elon Musk’s reaction to that revelation, is pointing toward Musk not having any knowledge of what was going on”
I remember very well that Musk said he was buying twitter to restore free speech, and that basically without free speech we are screwed . Obviously talking about the alphabet agencies involvement in censoring during purchase negotiations wouldn’t of played well.
It should also be noted that Musk accused the Government of trying to suppress free speech long before he tried to buy twitter. This goes back to at least 2018 and his run in with the SEC.
The FBI is APT#1 (Advanced Persistent Threat #1)
The nervous laughter in that clip speaks volumes.
In the matrix of govment deception we have the illusion of freedom.
We have the illusion of goverment.
We have the illusion of the vaccine.
We have the illusion of global warming.
We have the illusion of evolution.
We have the illusion of our vote counting in a sea of ballot fraud.
We have the illusion of a rwo party political system.
We have the illusion joe biden is president.
We have people illusions of more than 2 sexes.
We have the illusion that electric vehicles are needed to combat global warming.
It goes on and on.
We have the illusion that what we see with our own eyes isn’t really the way it is, and we have to work to be “woke” in order to “see” acurately
Notice this subversive cult won’t say MERRY CHRISTMAS.
At least they aren’t pretending to believe in Christ…
We had a “What is Your Favorite Holiday Song?” on a white board in a break are in our office. I crossed out Holiday and put in Christmas, and wrote “Mary Did You Know?”
Unless the state run media covers this story as it should, they will not just get away with it, it will continue.
Confirms what I’ve believed about FB.
Their reasons for outing me for commenting on the hypocrisy of Catholics & clergy who posted their joy about Biden’s “election,” given his abortion stand, were downright scary.
Opinion vs opinion not tolerated.
Everything we are hinges on keeping Freedom of Speech paramount.
The FIRST Amendment for a reason!
Twitter banned for 12hrstwice in last few days. For not singing the Zelenskyy party line…, appealed rather than just deleting my legit opinion tweets with no reply. The great Elon is another stooge imo.
Locked out still.
The FBI and CIA are feeling their oats. Happy forever wars, everyone!
People wonder why the release is allowed to happen if you control the company, the regulatory and law mechanisms.
Information like this without consequence for the perpetrator is simply a mechanism of normalization. If no punishment results the behavior becomes accepted and cemented as normal and everyone moves on to the next reveal. This is especially so if the noral media channels pretend it does not exist as the ripple effect is inhibited to deflate the ramifications.
Its why limited hangout like Snowden work in the same way.
What they are normalizing for you is that all online platforms are coordinated surveilance and control mechanisms that act to program your behavior against your interests and there is nothing you can do about it but learn to live with that fact and the implications.
In a year most people will not even remember this happened, but will still use it all.
They are just taking the curtains down to show you the brick walls in your cell.
The larger objective of U.S. government involvement in social media has always been monitoring and surveillance of the public conversation, shaping and influencing public opinion, and ultimately controlling outcomes.
How much of a leap is it to believe that such involvement by the 4th Branch also similarly extends to the judiciary – e.g., all election fraud claims being thrown out without any substantive consideration, the judge’s actions in the Mike Flynn trials and the judicial treatment of the J6 defendants?
So it would seem that calling someone/something a “conspiracy theorist /theory is just another feeble attempt by leftist to gaslight people who’s beliefs or opinions they don’t like. My account at twitter was suspended around the time of the Afghanistan debacle. I finally decided that I’m better off without it. Why should I voluntarily submit to their little psy op? ,
I still find it hard to believe that Musk is such a poor businessman that he would plunk $44 billion into a purchase that he had not thoroughly researched. Robert Barnes has a theory that Musk, tied to the government in most (or all) of his business ventures, has turned against the government for some reason. Barnes theorizes that perhaps this happened when Musk asked the government to fund the Starlink operation in Ukraine, which was refused. Possibly. And I wonder about the timeline of Musk trying to back out of Twitter, then going forward, and how that coincides with the Starlink issue. Certainly all of the information that Musk is getting now about the Twitter operation would have been available to research BEFORE the purchase. So, is Musk just pretending to be a ‘good guy’ in order to gain our trust and direct us somewhere? Is his Twitter purchase the introduction to the loss of internet anonymity where we will have to sign in, just to access the internet?? Is his continued efforts in Neuralink ‘altruistic’ or an effort to control human behavior? Is he the ultimate conman, or has he been ‘redpilled’???
“As Taibbi again notes, “The government was in constant contact not just with Twitter but with virtually every major tech firm. These included Facebook, Microsoft, Verizon, Reddit, even Pinterest, and many others.”
Is it still going on?
You can bet Musk has not found all the moles.
The CIA can’t comment because they are prohibited by law from domestic spying–but look at this from another angle….they “own” the corporation(s) through a straw man (or men), thereby shielding themselves publicly from scrutiny, while everyone who voluntarily buys a cup of coffee, participates and shares information which assists them in spying domestically; and if they use the FBI, CBP, and all the other ‘alphabets’ as pass alongs or pass throughs, they are publicly “obeying” the law.
I hate to think this, but Frank Church was correct way back in the ’60s.
Operation Mockingbird, the CIA’s Media Infiltration.
“It was an alleged large-scale project undertaken by the CIA beginning in the 1950s in which they recruited American journalists into a propaganda network. The recruited journalists were put on payroll by the CIA and instructed to write fake stories that promoted the views of the intelligence agency. Student cultural organizations and magazines were allegedly funded as fronts for this operation.”
“Though declassified documents show that this type of operation occurred, it’s never been officially confirmed as the title of Operation Mockingbird. Thus, it’s also never been officially discontinued.”
Let’s look at this situation without pretension. The problem isn’t that the Left and its evil handmaidens (which now includes everyone but hardcore MAGA) hasn’t been sufficiently revealed to be a crime syndicate. For years there has been damning, irrefutable evidence of sinister wrongdoing – 100% proof of the 2020 Coup, for example – yet, no matter how serious the offense, nothing ever gets done about it. THAT is the problem. It’s fantastic that Musk has exposed yet another link in the chain of DC Mordor evil. But as long as the criminals are in charge (and we know for a certainty they cannot be removed via our now-mythic “right to vote”) then no amount of “reveals” will amount to a hill of wasted beans.
I strongly suspect the next skirmish will take place when SCOTUS rules against (as they will be handed an offer they can’t refuse) Kari Lake. Their refusal to stand with the Constitution during the Crime of the Century was, and still is, the most overlooked (intentionally?) scandal in living memory. But if it is ever revealed who, or what, is threatening the Justices to rule “correctly”, will anything change? No, it will not. Musk is a hero for this, but the FBI knows it is still invulnerable.
#1 person 2022 for me ELON MUSK no question..They forced him to buy Twitter !!!! Let the files keep coming ! Fauci Joe and Hunter Biden and family< COVID. This could take up until the 2024 election.The WikiLeaks of twitter thanks Elon true patriot…

This is an article to show your haughty, “know-it-all” brother-in-law who thinks our government is somehow squeaky clean…
Great read…
I love my country. I hate my government. May God help us overcome this evil.
Something stinks! Why would a government permit this kind of exposure? The Obama/Biden administrations is certainly not on the road of contrition, but they could very well be doing a distraction of attention to a far more damaging and dangerous condition they don’t want us to know about. Because of the disgusting political displays recently, I suspect all of Congress is aware and participating.
I have no idea how the government agencies allowed this sale to happen.
This is equivalent to purchasing the agency’s themselves.
Maybe I am all wet I guess.
I read the “Taibbi shares” outline and it strikes me that it was known throughout the entire democrat communist party that shutting people up was as easy as submitting a request. Using a communication tool like Teleporter that vanishes these communications is to me absolute proof of conspiracy and also proof that anyone who used it knew what they were doing was wrong!
I’ve often wondered why there has been no smoking gun email or social media comments about election fraud. This Teleporter thing tells me how they organized and got away with it. If Minneapolis police up to DOJ all knew what to do to shut down anything they didn’t like, using a “secret” method, then who can say an election steal was impossible?
Twitter was just the tip of the criminally corrupt government iceberg! FaceBook, YouTube and all the major social media sites, search engines, all news outlets, are being controlled by government agents! But no way was the election interfered with! No way was millions and millions of Sheeple = minds full of mush. No way they could have been influenced by hearing lies 24/7/365! BULL SHIT! This should be an outrage to every American! Our government is 100% corrupt and evil to their very core! The real question is can we get our Constitutional Republic back without having an unbiased objective outlet to spread the truth?
Everything that the watergate uncovered during Nixon hearings is exactly what should be uncovered in the Biden and his administration.
