A very interesting data point surfaces as a result of CTH explaining how Twitter File #8 connects to the U.S. State Dept, IC and Pentagon used Twitter to amplify specific types of political messaging {GO DEEP}. The nation of Qatar has now blocked access to CTH.
As a reminder, release #8, was essentially a basic outline showing how the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. State Department (DoS) work with the social media platform to amplify messaging and create specifically anonymous government accounts intended to spread propaganda globally. [Twitter File Release #8 Here] The govt then asked the platform engineering side to boost the messaging of the govt accounts and use the internal tools to promote government users. Essentially, social media propaganda.
Qatar is well known to CTH readers and those who follow the deep weeds of geopolitics. Qatar has historically been the financial center and funding mechanism of the Muslim Brotherhood. In many ways Qatar is to the U.S. State Dept, CIA and political elements of the Intelligence Community in the middle east, as Ukraine is to those same entities in Europe.
We have outlined the long history of Qatar as it pertains to a myriad of U.S. interests. EXAMPLES: •When the Obama/Clinton State Dept wanted to fund the covert weapons to the Benghazi rebels, they used Qatar. •When President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi expelled the radical leaders of The Brotherhood from Egypt, they went to Qatar. •When President Donald Trump asked the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to confront radical Islamic extremism, the Arab nations confronted Qatar. •When Qatar was forced to expel the five most radical leaders of The Brotherhood they went to Turkey. [Turkish President Recep Erdogan is aligned in common principle with The Brotherhood.] •When the U.S. released captured Islamic extremists from Gitmo (al-Qaeda in Afghanistan), they were transferred to Qatar. •When the Taliban took back control over Afghanistan, the al-Qaeda leaders from Qatar went back to Afghanistan.
Qatar is aligned with the Obama/Biden worldview of all things political. In many ways Qatar is an Arabic version of Ukraine. Here’s where it gets interesting….
With all the previous outlines of Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood, connections to Islamic extremism and outlines of the aligned funding mechanism for U.S. State Dept. interests, it wasn’t until CTH connected the dots from the ‘Arab Spring’ Brotherhood to Twitter’s ideological alignment with the 2020 Black Lives Matter domestic uprising that the Qatari government suddenly decided the sunlight was too much. As a result, CTH is now blocked by the government of Qatar.
The need for control is a reaction to fear.
A little misfit corner of the internet that connects dots domestically and geopolitically is suddenly a threat. Funny that.
Now that we know the intelligence community and state department are paying attention, well, you know me, I’m going to repost that stuff now…
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.
And it goes much deeper… much more purposefully deeper.
The ideological interests behind the 2010/ ’11 “Arab Spring” uprising were the same ideological interests behind the 2020 “Black Lives Matter” protests/uprising. Not merely similar people, but the exact same people.
The exact same group of U.S. people who were promoting the mid-east Arab Spring in 2010/’11 are the same people who promoted the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. The same politicians; the same media voices; the same newspapers; the same social media activists. Almost every participant, and their support for the uprising ’10 -vs- ’20 was identical, including the platforms deployed.
In the background of the Arab Spring, the root control organization was The Muslim Brotherhood. Considering all of the connective similarities and considering the U.S. advocates for the brotherhood were the same voices advocating for BLM; the BLM movement as an extension of the same overarching ideology becomes clear.
It is not an esoteric intellectual exercise to compare the two movements because we were not only talking about a similar level of protest, but we also saw an identical set of actions in both groups. Not only were the advocates the same voices, but the behavior also to remove and destroy common cultural connection/heritage was the same.
The Brotherhood is essentially the umbrella organization for a multitude of Islamic factions. In essence, the Muslim Brotherhood represents political Islam. Similarly, if you look at the structure of Black Lives Matter, they too represent an umbrella-type structure for a network of individual political grievance groups. Both groups represent a cultural revolution by the results of their activity.
In 2010 the Brotherhood had al-Qaeda and militant factions within ISIS. In 2020 BLM had the New Black Panthers and militant factions within Antifa.
In 2010 the Brotherhood tore down statues and symbols they identified as culturally oppressive to their political views. In 2020 BLM tore down statues and symbols they identified as oppressive to their political views.
In 2010 the Brotherhood burned books, destroyed history and removed their cultural opposition by force. In 2020 BLM promoted burning books, destroying history and cancelling their cultural opposition by force.
In 2010 the Brotherhood used social media to organize their political activity and Big Tech facilitated by setting up local networks for protest. In 2020 BLM used social media to organize their political media and Big Tech facilitated by deploying all local networks to assist.
In 2010 the Brotherhood attacked the police and framed their Islamist movement as oppressed by law enforcement. In 2020 BLM attacked the police and framed their movement as oppressed by law enforcement.
In 2010 the Brotherhood destroyed the notions of secularism and viciously attacked any form of Christianity, including burning churches. In 2020 BLM advocated against secularism and viciously attacked Christianity – including the burning of churches, while conspicuously never criticizing any element of Islam.
In 2010 the Brotherhood was very strategic as they hoodwinked moderate Islamic supporters into voting them into power. Once in power they removed all of the institutional systems, government offices, judges, constitutional balances, local elections, and anything that would impede their ultimate stranglehold on power. Sharia Law replaced common legislative law. As a result, the ordinary population was brutalized, property was taken by force; businesses were taken by force and the Islamic regime now controlled every element of their lives.
In 2020 the approach of the BLM movement appeared very strategic as they also hoodwinked a multitude of supporters, voters and even corporations, by defining their victim class and role. Donations to the BLM group funded Joe Biden. Much like the 2010 Brotherhood approach, grievances were made personal. Bonds between families and friends are severed by force and demands to adhere to the movement’s ideology. Now look at the severity of what policies are being advanced.
In 2010, despite the visibility of the radical elements of Islam, Egyptian candidate Mohammed Morsi ran on a platform for change as a moderate. He was supported by Obama, Clinton and the social media messaging deployed by the U.S. government. Once he achieved victory Morsi governed as a hardline leftist.
In 2020, despite the visibility of the radical leftists (BLM, Antifa), U.S. candidate Joe Biden ran on a platform for change as a moderate. He was supported by Obama, James Clyburn and the social media messaging deployed by the U.S. government. Once he achieved victory Biden governed as a hardline leftist.
These strategic political similarities are not coincidental.
As you can see from above, the use of social media had both an international and domestic value as considered by those in the Obama sphere who constructed the partnership with government. Twitter’s curation of the timeline is intended to hide this ‘Bigger Picture.’
~ Support Ongoing CTH Research Here ~
Oh, and don’t forget this little move that happened quietly this year as it pertains to the big picture:
March 11, 2022, the Biden administration specifically designated Qatar as a major non-NATO ally {LINK}.
The purpose of this designation was brutally obvious. The United States is putting Qatar back into the business of brokering arms sales from the U.S. government into Ukraine. Following the geopolitical intervention models previously used in Egypt, Libya and Syria by President Obama and Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Antony Blinken are now repeating the process toward Ukraine.
In many ways this should not be a surprise. Qatar is the financial hub and support network for the Muslim Brotherhood. Qatar is also the arms broker for covert military operations when the U.S. does not want visible fingerprints.
By making this designation now, the Biden administration is setting up the groundwork for a long-term proxy war between the U.S/NATO and Russia in Ukraine. (March, 2022, read more)
Some have accused us misfits as being able to see around corners.
Enjoy your day.

Well, I was shadowbanned on T.S. and now completely booted from the app because about 95% of my posts were from CTH. No warning. Nothing. I p’d off a lot of I.C. people.
T.S. = Truth Social ?
A pancake recipe may be on the horizon.
Sounds like T.S.
Yes.
Strange, because I post CTH links on TS all the time without issue.
Friends could see my profile, but none of my comments or recent posts. My profile was completely blank on my end. Someone was not happy with me.
Earlier today- They said they corrected an issue.
Maybe your issue is fixed.
I post links to CTH articles almost daily with no problems. Truth Social is very open and free speech.
This doesn’t sound like Truth Social at all.
Months ago I had posted a comment on Truth Social from the blog Vox Popoli (Vox Day/ Theodore Beale) in which a Truth Social member claimed to have been shadow banned. My TS comment merely questioned whether shadow banning was actually occurring on Truth Social….and the sincere hope that it was not.
None of my followers saw that rather benign TS post of mine….or any of my many additional TS posts for the following month. I subsequently left TS.
So in my experience, Truth Social does shadow ban.
TS will ban and block you in a heartbeat. It only took a few weeks for my very unpolitical wife to get punted.
Because of their TOS I wouldn’t even bother.
But, free speech is the hypocrisy of hypocrisies on Right leaning sites.
Here, between 2020 and mid this year I quit bothering to post because of the deleting and blocking. I dont know if it was the Twitter thing that made it too much of a hypocrisy to keep blocking people. Or if the sudden realization by many more people the Republican party is a trash heap made it now acceptable to say so but it’s largely stopped.
Thank you for that I guess…
CFP will ban, block or delete you for anything that disagrees with kane’s political-wind-change-direction-of-the-week. IMHO, someone’s getting paid over there to direct narrative and opinion, DeSantis seems to be well liked.
TGP… You can’t pick the rhyme or reason it happens there. But if you ask the Tabloid, I mean Enquirer, I mean Hoft Brothers they swear they have no actual control of their sites comment section.
The daily wire does not take kindly to anyone critical of its “talent” or the Republican party.
You may want to check your settings on TRUTH.
That’s odd.
I’ve never had a problem.
I did – my TS password suddenly stopped working about a month ago. In the crush of schedule I’ve been unable to spend any time attempting to debug the problem.
I actually didn’t get many posts made before this happened, but I’m sure a lot of them were from CTH as well. I post CTH very frequently on Gettr and I’m still on there.
However, on Gettr I was gaining followers at a really fast rate until I hit just over 500 and the gains stopped pretty much cold.
It’s all weird and all suspect as far as I’m concerned. But I still post what I want, when time permits…
The same happened to me. I made only a few posts and poof, I’m gone. I dropped it totally.
That’s weird because I always post CTH articles on Truth Social and they’re usually “liked and shared”…
strange..
Black Jesus and his sidekick were not the masterminds behind the inception of US government propaganda.
Tonkin Bay, WMDs, Project Mockingbird… Twitter was just a new medium.
No more than the current geriatric is capable of being the mastermind behind Ukraine.
It’s federal civil service folks… You don’t elect them, you can’t unelect them and they really don’t care who runs the Administration.
We have a feral government on our hands and we should probably stop strawmanning and creating excuses for it.
It is often speculated here at CTH that Obama is a pawn. His words and actions are considered newsworthy, so he’s often the messenger for the power hiding behind him.
And now for something completely different . . .
https://abcnews.go.com › Sports › wireStory › fbi-probing-cia-officers-spying-world-cup-host…
FBI probing ex-CIA officer’s spying for World Cup host Qatar
“A former CIA officer who spied on Qatar’s rivals to help the tiny Arab country land this year’s World Cup is now under FBI scrutiny and newly obtained documents show he offered clandestine services that went beyond soccer to try to influence U.S. policy, an Associated Press investigation found.”
I am confident–as I know all of our friends in media and government such as Sean Hannity and Lindsey Graham are confident–that the FBI will get to the bottom of this situation with all possible speed! /s
Thanks Sundance for your incredible research and connecting of the dots.
The sh*t in the intelligence services’ Augean Stables may be too impacted to ever flush out?
We’ll need a Herculean suppository!
We’re going to need a lot of rope.
material item…
you can’t take it with you (upon passing away).
Obama is Muslim Brotherhood, I am convinced. Obama gave the commencement sppech at Westpoint for the Emir Of Qatar’s son who graduated. Meanwhile behind his back, the Emir cdisparaged Obama.
Qatar is using America to it own ends.

well done.
Love the last line, see around corners. As Sundance points out, once you see the strings on these marionettes, you can’t stop seeing them. I am just a well armed cynic these days. I have three clip fed semi automatic firearms organized by range, long, medium, and close. I get up early and wait. I read Solzhenitsyn many years ago.
Congrats.
Who is the puppet master, Larry Fink, at blackrock????
Guess We’all are going to need to watch our backs. Place is sure gonna get crazy…
As always, Thank you Sundance for your incredible insight.
Inside nations we don’t control with bribes of money and planes, bombs and tanks, we develop individual Rebels via Twitter into groups dressed in civilian clothes. Unrecognizable as “militants”.
We arm these masquerading groups via unannounced transference of arms. Just as we used General Petraeus on the dock overseeing the loading of massive small arms, at night, onto a Turkish ship in the port of Benghazi, Libya to ship the US made weapons to Turkey to be transported thru Turkey to supply the Muslim Brotherhood.
When the Turkish Ambassador finished his dinner with our Ambassador he returned to the dock, boarded his ship of secured weapons and departed the Benghazi port en-route home to Turkey. Petraeus likely signaled the local Libyans. Dockside, Petraeus, just a mile away from the American Embassy paid no attention to the bombs, flares, shouts and fires high above the skyline above the American Embassy visible and audible just 1 mile East. Petraeus stood down.
We blame other nations, leaders (ie; Mubarak who honored the peace agreements with Israel) then install Authoritarian’s, ie; Morsi who was the President of the Muslim Brotherhood and who crucified Christians on the lawn of the palace and burned the Christian villages and churches with the live members inside. ie: Zelensky who has followed the Plan perfectly and now begins the persecution of Ukraine’s Christians.
Brazil is the next target. Then Mexico. Already the defeat of a reelection of AMLO is planned though Mexican voters are pleased in him. Watch. Trudeau volunteered Canada. The Plan has worked well in the USA; the Authoritarian rulership is in place in Washington and corrupted courts have soundly and irrevocably defeated Democracy. Is your Plan to vote in 2024? They will not change what has worked so easily to take over the country bloodlessly. So it’s you who must change what you do.
No nation has voted their way out of the Plan, the silent Coupes, the corruption of Truth and censorship that safely installed their Dictators disguised as Presidents and Premiers.
The WEF orchestra hasn’t fired a gun; they distribute them by the shipload to facilitate the masses to kill each other. This is the Plan that works. Not your plan. This is the Plan. All our wars follow the same Plan.
One day, the masses will get it and if they unite without using social medias and turn their weapons on their Betrayers they can free themselves. Or isn’t it plain enough?
This is what we do in nation after nation. Then we enter undercover of the lie we are saving ‘someones’ or defending some pseudo Democracy when we actually are installing dictatorships adding them one at a time to a NWO.
To keep our Rights it is we who must change asap. If there is even any time left at all to accomplish any change at all. Our elected leadership has defected. Our eloquent voices are silenced, they defeat our children and give away our wealth.
We are without trusted leaders, representation or a plan.
Time is short. And if the Russians are pressed into a no win or draw situation they will drill the USA with nukes.. the social media problem will be solved. We will have to unite using what ever means possible. Then we will be able take out the enemy within…
Who is this “we”?
” We == You?
“We =/= Me
Bon voyage and God speed.
Why be concerned with pronouns, this is not a discussion on gender. The point is recognizing the weapon of Authoritarianism disguised as Democracy.
It’s not a disguise.
What is democracy?
Two wolves and a lamb sitting down to decide what’s for dinner.
Democracy has always been mob rule. The problem emerging today concerns the feral monopoly that controls the institutions of government now electing itself.
We don’t just need good government. We need government to be good.
No reasonable person wants to live under a government run by organized crime, whatever the species of criminality or organizational type, form or culture.
Time to wake up and smell the criminals.

Qatar is Mystery Babylon.
Also, remember Wikil;eaks disclosed Qatar had at least one nuclear bomb at their disposal.
So thats why we left weapons in Afghanistan. Thats one mystery solved thanks Sundance.
Quite the confirmation they’ve provided.

December 3-5, 2008 the U.S. Department of State, Facebook, Google, YouTube, MTV, Howcast, and Columbia Law School convene the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit in New York City
Members of Egypt’s April 6 Youth Movement attended.
June 2010 Google executive Wael Ghonim anonymously created the “We Are All Khaled Said” Facebook page, a memorial to blogger Khaled Said who had posted a video of police allegedly splitting up drugs confiscated on June 6, 2010; the police tracked Said down and beat him to death on the street.
Ghonim’s Facebook page built a large following.
Six months after Ghonim’s page was created The April 6 Youth Movement organized a protest for January 25, 2011, which is a public holiday. Using the training received at the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit the group used smartphones and social media to promote the protest. On January 25 they organized cells of 30-50 protestors. Each cell led by one person who was given direction via smartphone from a command center. The command center coordinated the actions of these cells, eventually directing them to a rendezvous point – Tahrir Square.
The protest generated the optics necessary.
12 days later, February 6, 2011, the April 6 Youth Movement issued specific demands:
* Mubarak must immediately resign
* The national assembly and senate must be dissolved
* A “national salvation group” must be established that includes representatives of youth groups who called for the protest. This group would form a transitional coalition government and a transitional presidential council until the next presidential election.
Obama called for Mubarak to resign and five days later Mubarak was forced out Feb 11, 2011.
The Method:
* find a local issue
* puff it up & generate protests
* suborn the protests for your own purposes
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” – Obama, July 2, 2008
After Martin was killed while attacking Zimmerman, Obama’s DOJ deployed The Method: Black Lives Matter, guided by DOJ, was used to generate protests and support a narrative.
For the next several years DOJ guided other protests which were used to support the narrative, for example in Ferguson, Missouri.
Those protests and the narrative they support served another purpose: the federalization of police – the “civilian national security force”.
In 2015 Obama created a “Task Force on 21st Century Policing” which set about creating a de facto national police. The task force, which protestors Deray McKesson and Black Lives Matter participated in, established “standards” standards which will become mandatory (see the instructions to State legislatures on page 23 of the Implementation Guide – “mandate requirements for police state training academies… and in-service hours… in light of the task force recommendations”) and federal dollars will be the leverage.
Fundamental transformation.
Recall how the Muslim Brotherhood replaced Mubarak and how Obama supported them.
State Department and Soros’ Renaissance Foundation ran Kiev Tech Camps in 2012 and 2013. The mission: “get hands-on training in areas ranging from social media use, online organizing, digital safety” – https://2009-2017.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2012/09/197594.htm
Very similar to the State Department’s Alliance of Youth Movements Summit: “how to build transnational social movements using new technology, how to use new mobile technologies and how to preserve group safety and security”
Wael Ghonim addresses thousands in Tahrir Square

I remember Professor Jacobson’s Legal Insurrection blog claiming that much of the BLM leadership was drawn from the already existing leadership of the pro-Palestinian anti-Israel BDS movement (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions), but when I tried to google for his posts all I got was pages of phony “fact checks” of Legal Insurrection material.
The rest were commies, like Patrisse Cullors. All were either BDS, or commies, or both. And I know that BLM figurehead Colon Krapernick was famous for having an Egyptian Muslim girlfriend who had supposedly got him to convert to Islam, though he hadn’t admitted that.
Interesting that a ‘place’ like Quatar should stage the second most commercial and viewed sports event – the world cup.
Questions of how much it cost them in bribes were raised from the start.
The thing that really bothers me though is that Elon Musk was seen being fêted by one of their ‘princes’ at the final.
Fever spreading at the games.
Just like world military games illnesses in October 2019 in China.
Someone is reading the CTH blog…
Fabulous, the adherents to the religion of peace and the grifters of blm in lock step to destroy what use to be the greatest nation on Earth, the United States of America. Europe has been destroyed, the UK has fallen, and we have fallen of the edge into the abyss of political correctness and elitism. I fear for my grandchildren’s future.
Excellent post. Having helped to expose Qatar’s role in the 2012 attacks in Benghazi in my book, Dark Forces: The Truth about what happened in Benghazi, I am glad to see these connections exposed.
But I don’t see why in 2022 the USG would need Qatar to broker arms sales to Ukraine. Unlike 2012, where the sales to the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya were illegal and banned by Congress, today’s sales to Ukraine are Congressionally funded and supported. What am I missing? Left-over US weapons in Afghanistan?
I believe it is the Afghan weapons that Qatar will broker on behalf of the Taliban.
You might remember when the Taliban asked Qatar to provide the infrastructure support for the airport, etc. From what I can gather, Qatar is assisting the Taliban in Afghanistan with governance etc.
Yes. With the known history of Qatar brokering weapons for both sides (SAMS example, Libya), it would be simple to see a U.S. request for Qatar to provide the mechanism for Afghan weapons transfer to Ukraine elements. U.S. Pays Qatar and Qatar then pays Taliban.
Sort of a mystery why the United States elected Barack Hussein Obama to be our President. I have been wondering for a long time. More than just this alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood points to the reasons why. I will just say that, where power is concerned, every aspirant to any level of power should be completely vetted. This ain’t Kansas anymore. Folks, always watch your back trail, they are gaining on us.
every aspirant to any level of power should be completely vetted
Hussein WAS vetted … by the people who put him in charge
… and he suited their objectives perfectly
