… He still hasn’t identified the source code, the proverbial ghost in the machine, buried deep in the algorithmic code; however, Twitter owner Elon Musk has finally identified the agency within the U.S. government who spearheaded the creation. The “Global Engagement Center” (GEC) of the State Dept.
The GEC mission is described as, “To direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate U.S. Federal Government efforts to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations,” (link). However, when you overlay the expanded Dept of State mission that Obama delivered, transferring GEC intent to domestic operations, suddenly the background of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop makes sense. [Musk Tweet Link]
[Musk Tweet Link – GEC Center Link]
Readers here are so far ahead of the curve on this story, it’s kind of cool, funny, and yet frustrating at the same time. Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop is all a wild conspiracy theory born from the oddly wired brain of some dude in the corner of the internet; until suddenly it’s not.
Factually, it has been staring at everyone since the operation began in 2011, yet no one was willing to believe it. Apparently, Elon Musk is starting to realize what is inside the communication platform he purchased.
For several years, CTH has been outlining the relationship between DHS and social media. Currently, the headlines are filled with stories about Twitter and revelations of censorship and government influence coming from the purchase of the platform by Elon Musk. However, as I said from the outset of this new moment, I promise you things are not what they seem.
As noted earlier, and it is worth repeating, let me put some context to the dynamic that will hopefully clarify what is going on, and perhaps the context will help explain what you are seeing and what you are not seeing as this unfolds. There are going to be a lot of citations to fill in the details, and understanding the modern Fourth Branch of Government is critical. The bigger picture also explains why SSCI Chairman Mark Warner said “people will die” if the seized Trump Mar-a-Lago documents become public.
♦ Elevator Speech: Twitter is to the U.S. government as TikTok is to China. The overarching dynamic is the need to control public perceptions and opinions. DHS has been in ever increasing control of Twitter since the public-private partnership was formed in 2011/2012. Jack Dorsey lost control and became owner emeritus; arguably, Elon Musk had no idea (you’ll see proof toward the end).
To explain the background activity of Twitter in a way that readers could understand, I used the metaphor of Twitter as Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop.
…”The metaphorical Jack had a great idea, open a coffee shop where the beverages were free and use internal advertising as the income subsidy to operate the business. Crowds came for the free coffee, comfy couches, fellowship, conversation and enjoyment.
It didn’t matter where Jack got the coffee, how he paid for it, or didn’t, or what product advertising the customers would be exposed to while there. Few people thought about such things. Curiously, it didn’t matter what size the crowd was; in the backroom of Jack’s Coffee Shop they were able to generate massive amounts of never-ending free coffee at extreme scales.
Over time, using the justification of parking lot capacity and township regulations, not everyone would be able to park and enter. Guards were placed at the entrance to pre-screen customers. Some were denied. A debate began.”…
Here’s what happened….
In/around 2011 and 2012 the U.S. Government, Obama administration and the U.S. State Dept., came into Jack’s Coffee Shop and asked him for help.
The govt officials needed to deliver massive amounts of coffee to their allies in Egypt, Libya and the middle east to support the Arab Spring party. Jack told the officials he was willing to help but didn’t have the capacity to deliver on that scale. The officials told Jack not to worry, they would handle that aspect – he just needed to agree to the partnership and let them utilize his business. Jack agreed.
[Note, the timing here is not accidental. The operational agreement happened at the same time DHS was fine tuning the domestic surveillance systems to monitor social media platforms and target political opposition. See The Fourth Branch.]
Over the next several weeks, months and eventually years, Jack watched as hundreds of new employees flooded into the business to facilitate the rapid expansion. Along with a myriad of new faces, new equipment was delivered, and soon Jack found himself looking at heavy industrial equipment erecting large buildings in the back lots of the property. Coffee urns were replaced with massive industrial coffee delivery systems that far exceeded anything Jack ever imagined.
Business was booming, but slowly Jack realized he had lost control. Jack was riding a dragon.
As the years progressed, thousands of new employees moved into the offices of the new buildings and massive pipelines were producing incredible scales of coffee. Jack noted offices of the United Nations Human Rights Commission were now creating unique blends of coffee for international distribution, and the European Commission had an entire suite of specially trained coffee production engineers creating alternate combinations and flavors.
By 2018, Jack had essentially become an “owner emeritus”; his name was on the shingle, but the day-to-day operation of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop had turned into an industrial park complex.
Jack saw his personal wealth attached to the success of the business, but operationally, his only responsibility was traveling to symposiums and venues where he would stand on stage and wax philosophically about the future of a coffee delivery organization he no longer controlled. Day-to-day operations were now controlled by experts in the scale of massive industrial coffee. Those experts came from the Dept of Homeland Security.
[The Intercept] – […] Behind closed doors, and through pressure on private platforms, the U.S. government has used its power to try to shape online discourse. According to meeting minutes and other records appended to a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican who is also running for Senate, discussions have ranged from the scale and scope of government intervention in online discourse to the mechanics of streamlining takedown requests for false or intentionally misleading information.
“Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov’t. It’s really interesting how hesitant they remain,” Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, a former DHS official, texted Jen Easterly, a DHS director, in February.
In a March meeting, Laura Dehmlow, an FBI official, warned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S. government. Dehmlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Twitter and JPMorgan Chase, stressed that “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.” (read more)
To streamline the operational efficiencies as the industrial coffee system grew, direct portals between the Washington DC government offices and Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop were created. Officials no longer needed to travel to the location of Jack’s Coffee Shop in order to operate the valves, mixers, grinders and systems to generate the scale of blends being produced.
Experts could now use direct portals to the facility to operate the coffee production systems remotely, with a limited number of specially trained (FBI) coffee engineers doing the laborious tasks and maintenance at the facility.
The badges were intimidating to Jack who went to sleep every night under the realization he no longer had any clue about how the coffee shop communication business was operating.
[…] The extent to which the DHS initiatives affect Americans’ daily social feeds is unclear. During the 2020 election, the government flagged numerous posts as suspicious, many of which were then taken down, documents cited in the Missouri attorney general’s lawsuit disclosed. And a 2021 report by the Election Integrity Partnership at Stanford University found that of nearly 4,800 flagged items, technology platforms took action on 35 percent — either removing, labeling, or soft-blocking speech, meaning the users were only able to view content after bypassing a warning screen. The research was done “in consultation with CISA,” the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Prior to the 2020 election, tech companies including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Verizon Media met on a monthly basis with the FBI, CISA, and other government representatives. According to NBC News, the meetings were part of an initiative, still ongoing, between the private sector and government to discuss how firms would handle misinformation during the election. (keep reading)
After several years of increasing distance from the Coffee Shop operation he initially started, eventually Jack decided it was silly to own an industrial coffee delivery system that he didn’t control. So, Jack decided to sell his shingle to someone else.
Enter, Elon Musk.
Billionaire Elon Musk, a man intimately familiar with large industrial systems and government, had been watching the disgruntled visitors to Jack’s Coffee Shop who were no longer permitted to enter. Musk saw an inequity between the amount of coffee that was available, and the scarcity of the coffee amid a community blacklisted by the operational executives and managers of the shop.
With expressions of both interest and fellowship, Mr. Elon Musk told Mr. Jack Dorsey he would take ownership of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop and remove any discriminatory guards that were now controlling permitted entry. Jack had no aversion to Elon and eventually a deal was brokered.
After the transfer of sale was complete, Mr. Musk fired many of the guards and then set about checking the payroll to identify which group of shop employees were actually involved in the generation of coffee, and which employees were involved in promotion of the industrial coffee delivery system that were no longer needed.
Within this process, Elon Musk begins to discover the complex nature of what, at least at the surface, appeared to be an uncomplicated coffee shop. Why is there a 500-room glass walled office building on the backside of the coffee shop? What is going on in that GEC building that has anything to do with selling domestic coffee?
The sunlight revelations began surfacing a few months ago when someone of reasonably intelligent curiosity finally asked Elon Musk the right question about this direct portal from DHS into the coffee shop. How Mr. Musk replied might surprise you.
You see, the Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop metaphor is evidenced in the Musk response.
Twitter owner Elon Musk has no idea that a DHS portal into the coffee shop existed and what it would be for. WATCH:
.
To put it in brutally honest terms, the State Dept initially created the partnership between the U.S. government and Twitter (Arab Spring). However, when the operations needed to become domestically centered (post Trump election), another agency stepped in…. The United States Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) is the operating system running in the background of Twitter.
You can debate whether Elon Musk honestly didn’t know all this before purchasing Twitter from his good friend Jack Dorsey, and/or what the scenario of owner/operator motive actually is. Decide for yourself, but with public statements it genuinely looks like Musk didn’t know.
Regardless of foreknowledge, I feel confident the conflicting and odd datapoints only reconcile in one direction. The State Dept started it, but now DHS, via CISA, controls Twitter.
Wittingly or unwittingly (you decide) Elon Musk is now the face of a quasi govt controlled enterprise.
If you concur with my researched assessment, then what you see being released by Elon Musk in the Twitter Files is actually a filtered outcome as a result of this new ownership dynamic.
Put simply, DHS stakeholders, to include the DOJ, FBI and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), are mitigating any consequential public exposure of their domestic surveillance activity by controlling and feeding Mr. Musk selected information about their prior Twitter operations. DHS is still the ghost in the machine.
TikTok is to Beijing as Twitter is to Washington DC.
The larger objective of U.S. involvement in social media has always been monitoring and surveillance of the public conversation, and then ultimately controlling and influencing public opinion.
Mr. Elon Musk and his team are combing through millions of lines of algorithmic code, trying to find that “fundamental part” that will deliver their own ‘ah-ha’ moment. Until then, we keep watching and smiling…

I wish Elon Musk would liberate all the innocent folks in the Twitter Gulag; does he even know about us?
Surely you can make yourself another Twitter identity. Might need to come from a new IP address. If you want to be a Paul Revere, you have to be willing to change horses. I think this is at least the second platform for the Conservative Treehouse.
Supposedly you can log into your banned account and appeal the suspension under whatever new rules they have put in place.
I just did so, and got an email from them immediately saying there is such a high volume of appeals they are looking at, it might be 5-7 days before they respond.
That’s still six to seven months faster than the government.
Much, Much Faster than questions being answered about the suffering J6 prisoners!
Here’s the link to get reinstated.

D’oh! Eric beat me to it.
I think he still hasn’t dug up all the automated block links yet.
Not me.. I’m free now I’ll never go back
Good call, I’ve never been there.
Feel the same. Tempted at times, then a little voice says “hold up”. 🙃
You can also be “free” by living in the woods and isolating. Until they burn the forest down.
If we want to take the country back, we have to take back or neutralize every domain controlled by the enemy — including Twitter.
I don’t think he knows yet all of the shenanigans concocted by the DHS and other related agencies to keep accounts shut down.
In Canada, the same process will be put in motion very soon under the guise of ‘hate speech’. Even personal emails will go through that wringer. I figure Microsoft and Google will partake in the surveillance work to help out the Trudeau government.
Email?
Then I guess Proton dot me will grow significantly.

There will be a day that comes when all of Sundance’s essays are required reading.
As a historical record, and examples to instruct.
100%.
Might have to haul in a lot of rock and dirt so that Mount Rushmore can be expanded to include Trump, Sundance, and Musk!
Thats why we are saving them.
ctrl C, ctrl P into a daily word doc and into a yearly news diary file.
My respect for Elon grows. I like how he thinks.
Much like SD, he doesn’t like playing the Pretending Not To Know Things game.
Good for him, much respect!
SD and Elon both have a target on their backs, may God protect them both!
An ignorant population is an obedient population.
What? Me? I just watch the “news”!…..said every dumb ass American who still doesn’t get IT!
“If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re misinformed.” ~ Mark Twain
Yup. It’s been going on for a LONG time!
AND, who are STILL wearing masks. Saw many more today. All these folks have cell phones (I don’t)… can’t they look up/question why they are still wearing them? Boggles the mind.
A new study recently revealed that people who wear masks do so because they believe that they are ugly.
That statement is behind the entire national public education strategy for at least 40 years.
You’ve made it all make sense, thank you.
“The bigger picture also explains why SSCI Chairman Mark Warner said “people will die” if the seized Trump Mar-a-Lago documents become public. ”
If Sundance connected that dot, I missed it. A little help here please!
“MAybe he know Mark Warner die 1000 deaths if truth come out. Me not know what happen but I
be safe in CHYNA after successful espionage campaign and get big bonus from Father Xi.”

Give that Mr. Warner Traitor the most EXCRUCIATING torture and it still wouldn’t be enough in my book.
“The bigger picture also explains why SSCI Chairman Mark Warner said “people will die” if the seized Trump Mar-a-Lago documents become public. ”
And Hillary reportedly said “We’re all going to hang from nooses” if Trump wins. All those who have committed Treason and Sedition to put Biden in Office and keep him there should certainly hang.
Remember the Jussie Smollett thing? (Noose around Jussie’s neck)) In which Kamala, then a mere Congress Critter, got a law passed which banned hanging?
Make knife-throwing fashionable again! 🤣
ROFLOL!!!
Funny you should mention knife throwing.
Apparently there’s someone in my neck of the woods who does that as entertainment—at parties no less! I still can’t believe it when I see his ads. Reminds me of Johnny Carson’s show.
I missed it too since Warner said it in the context of not doing a damage assessment on the potential issues of the stuff Trump had having been leaked could endanger sources
I know it’s a small thing, but I’m grateful that for the last 2 days none of my “likes” have immediately reversed.
The creation of this taxpayer supported, government sponsored censor squad, the FBI targeting Americans, the Intel community doing whatever they want to insure their survival, IRS targeting, etc., is what happens when Omnibus bills are passed by a Congress refusing to perform oversight.
Yes, there are inklings they might be getting around to doing oversight again, but bureaucrats will not care until their budgets are targeted.
Imo Elon Musk is window dressing to deal with the unsettled masses that know government agencies are intrinsically involved with social media platforms. He’s playing his part.
As the largest private contractor for the government Musk is beholden to government and, due to that, he is just a distraction IMO. I have never used Twit, Facejunk nor Truth Social so am, at this point, unaffected by anything the modern day PT Barnum aka Musk does. His entire business model is currently sucking on the government teet which makes him no different than the other parasitic companies and players doing the same thing.
That may be true – but the government needs Musk too.
It is clear that the government, as it is now, sucks at space. Musk can launch and they need that.
every single one of us are affected by the government lies and disinformation campaign
whether or not you are on social media
That is an astute observation that most people seem to miss.
“I’m not on Twitter and never will be.” OK, so you are OK with not being aware of how many users on Twitter actually agree with us and are mocking and kneecapping the government liars and their lame-brained human echo chambers with entertaining wit, knowledge of facts, and outright funny humor.
I went back on Twitter last year and enjoy the heck out of seeing so many pro-MAGA and otherwise “awake” people on there. Yes there are still plenty of buttheads who expose their colossal ignorance almost every time they try to pick an argument with a factual tweet. But the instant bombardment they receive from the red-pilled crowd is delicious.
I lean in that direction— but, we’ll see.
This unelected DC behemoth needs its head lopped off. They are not OUR government.
Exactly
That is why the House should begin to defund the Patriot Act..the Patriot Act is the Foundation of all this surveillance of “domestic terrorists.” Read the “Patriot Act.” The father of the Patriot Act was FDR’s “Trading with The Enemy Act.
I disagree at this point. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and he may yet get “down and dirty”. Hope he keeps safe from gov’t. actions.
I know this may sound crazy but like the inbred monarchs of old Europe, algorithms have become our version of the inbred monarchy.
Now the (not so) crazy part: we need an algorithmic Bill of Rights based on Christian and Enlightenment principles.
“Apparently, Elon Musk is starting to realize what is inside the communication platform he purchased.”
So, what will the autistic savant with a massive number of Government related contracts but a predilection for throwing hand grenades into crowds DO with his realization? That, IMHO, is the $64K question….
and which sovreign accounts of which governments owned Twitter stock….the sale might have been a way to fund certain non-budgetary items..

“The fabric of American empire ought to rest on the solid basis of THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE. The streams of national power ought to flow from that pure, original fountain of all legitimate authority.”–Alexander Hamilton
This post is related to the previous Spy Balloons- post, in which the Nat/Sec Apparatus declared itself free of the Chain of Command under President Trump, thus severing itself from the source of ALL political power, which is WE, the People and the Free Will gifted to us by our Creator.
Similarly, the State Dept. declares its own autonomy to conduct its own foreign policy, even to designate domestic citizens as foreign enemies to be silenced and targeted by its own internal code, an unaccountable power untethered to morality, the People or their Constitution.

Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to God, giving voice together,
I’m singing my heart out to God—what a victory!

God is my strength, God is my song,
and, yes! God is my salvation.
This is the kind of God I have
and I’m telling the world!
This is the God of my father—
I’m spreading the news far and wide!
God is a fighter,
pure God, through and through.
Pharaoh’s chariots and army
he dumped in the sea,
The elite of his officers
he drowned in the Red Sea.
Wild ocean waters poured over them;
they sank like a rock in the deep blue sea.
Your strong right hand, God, shimmers with power;
your strong right hand shatters the enemy.
In your mighty majesty
you smash your upstart enemies,
You let loose your hot anger
and burn them to a crisp.
At a blast from your nostrils
the waters piled up;
Tumbling streams dammed up,
wild oceans curdled into a swamp.
A Swamp, indeed. Thank You, Lord Jesus! Praise God our Father, Amen and Amen!

The department of state has been a vipers nest since it was born.

I could go on but let’s eat an elephant one bite at a time.
Amen Gipper.
If DHS stepped in to deliver coffee to the Arab Spring, that was above and beyond Twitter’s pre-DHS infrastructure. Now that the Arab Spring doesn’t need coffee, why would excising DHS have any affect on Musk continuing with the pre-DHS model? Apparently, the DHS coffee-making apparatus only has value to governments world-wide to stifle free expression.
And now with all of this coming out, Twitter no longer will load for me. Times out every time. Imagine that.
Still wondering if Biden’s statements of support for GM & Ford electric vehicles, and gov’t subsidized charging stations for the same (but pointedly leaving out Tesla) isn’t what’s behind Musk purchasing Twitter.
Elon might merely be using Twitter and the threat of revelations against the gov’t to leverage Tesla back into DC’s crony capitalistic plans.
Time will tell…
Everyone really wants Tesla’s charging network.
Never thought of that. Makes sense, even though electric vehicles as they are now suck!
Here’s the Matt Taibbi thread that Musk points to in his tweet:
But..but Elon man bad! He be bad deep state shill. He not supposed to be uncovering their dirty deeds. But..but.. It is no big theory or revelation that Twitter was derp state. Some guy in the corner of the internet figured it out about 10 years after the ones that have been circumspect since the Bush driven Rush Limbaugh hyped Patriot Act was false flagged in to cheers from repubs and demos alike.. It may be revelatory around here but there are posters here who had been gushing about their furniture purchases from Wayfair..well known for selling cabinets named after recently missing children with price tags like 17k USD.
Re “there are posters here who had been gushing about their furniture purchases from Wayfair”
I’ve been frequenting CTH regularly for a long, long time and I’ve never seen any such comments…
I don’t even recall see the word “Wayfair” here until that post…
Me either.
Maybe a new name for “Look, squirrel!” comments could be ChiCom Spy Balloon comments…
Put down the Crack pipe dude. You’re way off base.
Who runs GEC and where do they live??
Good questions. THAT is what we need to know now.
If Elon didn’t know, he does now. He did describe Twitter as a Rube Goldberg Machine.
Yes – and a crime scene.
“Reputable phone company”. AT and T and Verizon are on the government take.
Hey Elon, Just shut it down for a while for maintenance. Temporarily lay off almost everyone (let them collect unemployment). Bring it back online in a few months with some much needed improvements in the operating system.
A lot of his money just sitting there, doing nothing? Try it at your own shop.
You must be aware of the short attention span in America.
Some. Homeschoolers are the future, and very few that I’m aware of use them. Thank God. Literally.
George Orwell
A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial:
that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud.
This is why we wake up everyday now but want to go back to sleep thinking we are just in a nightmare and it will go away.
Our society is becoming more and more like china everyday.
We live in an artifical society constructed and maintained by the deepstate.
A matrix of deception.
I have always suspected that the head of the snake is…OMAGGOT!
So if GEC is part of the State Dept
And the State Dept (GEC) was leading this operation during the Trump years
Who was in charge of the State Dept 2019/2020?
Maybe Congress should be want to ask the Sec of State some questions and what he knew if anything under oath?
PS – What else was running rampant back then?
Can you say money laundering via NGO’s via Ukraine.
Remember it’s not R’s and D’s its the UniParty who seeks to undermine Americans, our Constitution and our way of life.
I’d agree, Bogeyfree…except we are dealing with people for whom oaths mean nothing.
For whom word manipulation has been fine tuned so exquisitely that they lie as easily as the rest of us breathe, and do it knowing they will be protected.
This is a spider’s web…complex and sticky.
Truthful testimony without or with oaths went the way of the rest of noble patriotic service to what was our Republic but which was assassinated long ago.
We weren’t even allowed to hold Last Rites. The body has been cremated and the ashes cast to the Four Winds.
But I do hope somewhere there may still be a pile of those ashes from which a phoenix might rise.
I pray so anyway.
Good Post, Betsy…. Thanks.
Thank you…only because I feel more and more like an observer standing on the sidelines watching all of this play out. All the posing and pontificating from those in the House who think hearings with supoaenaed testimony will make any difference. The beast, or Beast if you prefer, is out of control and has free reign to do as it pleases. Which it is doing.
SecState then was Mike Pompeo.
You know, that dude who thinks it makes sense to run himself for POTUS in 2024.
yep, srart asking the right f…… questions.
I wouldn’t put too much into who was Sec State. We have learned the bureaucracy pretty much runs on auto pilot. The political appointees at the head come and go, but the mission never changes
Since we are talking Elon and hopefully he reads this thread………..
Where the F is the Fauci Files?
Did the boys in DC get to you?
Been wondering that myself…Elon said those were going to be released MONTHS ago now and still we wait! Looks like NYC and Seattle dropped their vax mandates today, along with the California one for students, so I have to wonder what really bad info is about to drop?
Perhaps waiting what the ‘new’ House has as a plan?
It is my understanding he gave those to Alex Berenson. I saw an email report about 4 weeks ago that it was taking him some time. Having recognized a while ago some biases in Berenson’s presentations (not unexpected since he is a lib), I unsubscribed from him and IMO he is sitting on stuff or trying to find ways to skew the information.
Perfectly clear – and well-written. Hope Sundance will write the someday screenplay.
thank you sundance for the HEAVY SUNSHINE. As always, your investigative skills are par none.
God Bless America
I can’t help but think Musk knew he was getting virtual toilet of no recoverable value. He needed to do something with is money, the coffee shop was a front and he wanted to see how deep the toilet water was
sometimes it helps to read financial reports and not the false shellac that the media has vomited.

da gubmint will see that Musk sells Jacks coffee shop to some traitorous pos.
Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop always made sense.
Now it should make more sense to anyone who isn’t sure.
I thought Matt Taibbi was on record saying that he didn’t have access to the raw data or entire data set and that it was being filtered to him.
If this is true, wouldn’t it of interest to know who is doing the filtering?
Also, has there been any effort to determine what the 3 letter agency lawyer hid/deleted on his way out?
We need to decaffinate the coffee so that Elon is not addled anymore.

The War Against Alternative Information
January 1, 2017, Consortium News
By Rick Sterling
The U.S. establishment is not content simply to have domination over the media narratives on critical foreign policy issues, such as Syria, Ukraine and Russia. It wants total domination. Thus we now have the “Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act” that President Obama signed into law on Dec. 23 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for 2017, setting aside $160 million to combat any “propaganda” that challenges Official Washington’s version of reality.
The new law mandates the U.S. Secretary of State to collaborate with the Secretary of Defense, Director of National Intelligence and other federal agencies to create a Global Engagement Center “to lead, synchronize, and coordinate efforts of the Federal Government to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining United States national security interests.” The law directs the Center to be formed in 180 days and to share expertise among agencies and to “coordinate with allied nations.”
The legislation was initiated in March 2016, as the demonization of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia was already underway and was enacted amid the allegations of “Russian hacking” around the U.S. presidential election and the mainstream media’s furor over supposedly “fake news.” Defeated Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton voiced strong support for the bill: “It’s imperative that leaders in both the private sector and the public sector step up to protect our democracy, and innocent lives.”
The new law is remarkable for a number of reasons, not the least because it merges a new McCarthyism about purported dissemination of Russian “propaganda” on the Internet with a new Orwellianism by creating a kind of Ministry of Truth – or Global Engagement Center – to protect the American people from “foreign propaganda and disinformation.”

If Twitter disappeared tomorrow and never returned, the world would be a better place.
Does anyone on our side have the sway to get the CTH essays into Musk’s hands ? I mean valuable info is just sitting here like a bunch of documents in Uncle Joe’s garage.
More ammunition available for Jim Jordan and Co. if they choose to use it.

Call me cranky, but you ever notice when they talk of stakeholders who they leave out? Citizens.
Collectivism vs. Individualism.
Thus their ideology is laid bare, in that which was left unsaid. If their words were not enough to convict them, their actions speak to it.
Stakeholder is the opposite of an actual stockholder.
It seems to be defined as any individual who has no investment whatsoever in a corporation, but imagines he is entitled to a say in it anyway…
The stakeholder in all the vampire movies is the one trying to kill the vampires.
Im just a rodeo clown- and not a bright one at that. But can anyone be so stupid as to own a business and not know who controls it? And if thats true how did that person become a billionaire? No…seriously I want to know so I can be just as stupid and become rich also.
Every thing considered Elon is doing a damn good job exposing the ghost in the machine. Without him buying Twitter none of the undeniable evidence of censorship/corruption by the Deep State and the Political Machines would have been revealed. He willingly spent a fortune to do what nobody else would do. At this point I consider him to be a real American Patriot.
Prior to Musk purchasing Twitter, I would like a tweet and the number of likes would increase by one, turn red and then decrease by one. As an example. I would like a tweet and the number of likes would go from 123 to 124, turn red and go back to 123. Nothing has changed with Twitter and we will NEVER be allowed to know the extent of government control of the platform. We live in a Horse of a Different Color Matrix. Believe none of what you see and half of what you hear, because your eyes are likely lying to you and your ears just might be. Nothing has really changed in government control of information and will not be allowed to deviate from a plan most of us had no input into.
“In/around 2011 and 2012 the U.S. Government, Obama administration and the U.S. State Dept…” This is the same crooked Obozo govt. the suppressed Americans’ free-speech and political rights by weaponizing the IRS against conservative/Teac Party 501(c)(3)s to prevent their influence on the 2012 elections and, thereby, STEAL their first presidential election. Democrats have been an organized criminal enterprise for years and a pointy reckoning is long overdue. Judgement Day cometh.
All the more reason for the house TO BEGIN DEFUNDING THE PATRIOT ACT!
John McCain’s finger prints are on this also.
Yes, that would be Footnote #1.

“Can Public Diplomacy Survive the Internet?”

State department outright says what they are doing.
I wonder just how many emails/texts and other communications that came in from the Deep State are sitting somewhere within the Twitter servers?
Imagine the topics that these communications might cover?
Now imagine if everyone of these actual communications were possibly released by Elon so the entire world might be able to see their actual written words on paper and judge for themselves.
Fascinating.
Intel community kills and removes Presidents but allows Musk to tell all their secrets.
Is anyone buying this crapola?
Elon is a liberal. Liberals are notoriously naive and poorly informed.
It makes sense…..
Elon is “on the spectrum” as they say. They too are also naive
Ehhh, I’d say the fact that he is on the spectrum probably causes him to laser focus on details he’s interested in. Lefties have to pretend to not know to keep in the system. Being outside the system is too painful. I’m pretty sure they’d Vince Foster Musk if they thought they had to. The only difference between us and China is how many people pull the levers, but at that level of the game I suspect everyone is under control somehow.
These above comments are sweeping generalizations I bet you ⬆️ would not appreciate to be pigeonholed if you were on the spectrum for autism or “liberal” gasp!
Barbara Bush was pro choice as an example and like her or not (agree or not) at least she had the guts to not sound like a stepford wife regarding her mostly conservative views!
The future of our country/world will not benefit from comments like the ones above.
I find that the people that will really influence meaningful change are the ones that are not stuck in the corner unwilling to at least be tolerant of another’s view on something.
There are extremes on both sides but I do not believe they represent the majority of the people.
If that were true all this manipulation and insidious actions by the government would not be necessary.
Voter fraud operations, Antifa and BLM would not have to be funded by operatives.
Its cult like if your expectation is for every conservative to agree with you all the time and every liberal to not.
And he is in bed with Xi/CCP – just like Biden, Obamas, Clintons, etc…
We call this “conversion.”
Elon Musk either truly believes that electric vehicles really are needed and viable, or he just loves taking the government’s money to make himself wealthy. Or is it both? Perhaps his ‘naivety’ is our saving grace. Perhaps his supposed innocence (ignorance) will make him stumbling on the truth (doesn’t he have lawyers that are supposed to be aware of things like government interference in his businesses?) all that more persuasive ? Perhaps if the scales fall from his eyes, the scales will also fall from the eyes of the currently entrenched ? Would Elon admitting that the Emperor is naked, be a tipping point?
I think there is a big difference between developing electric energy harnessing to it’s PRACTICAL limit. Increase the options. As long as the cars sell, we learn and we grow.
That is VASTLY different than having a bunch of power hungry politicians and globalists suddenly destroy our our petroleum technology and applications and economy, holding us hostage while they corner the market, the profit, and the control of the world.
Yeah, but you could say the same about conservatives before Trump came along and our enemies were flushed out including people like the Bush family were completely exposed for who and what they really are. We are still learning just how bad things are in our government so we are also naive and poorly informed too, just in a different way.
Dr. Shiva uncovered Twitter’s “partner support portal” used by US Government officials and Twitter to censor speech.Dr. Shiva’s historic 2020 lawsuit against the US Government and Twitter uncovered the extend and nature of the portal, and government employees admitted that they used it to shut down speech that exposed them.If Elon Musk were serious, he must take down the Partner Support Portal IMMEDIATELY, as it goes far beyond the law. He has had more than enough opportunity to do so.
