Independent journalist Matt Taibbi is looking for some additional research assistance [SEE HERE]. Specifically, after going a little deeper on the Twitter Files, Taibbi appears to be recognizing the visibility of the Fourth Branch of Government. He now needs to package the truth of it, in a way his former tribe will accept.
As a consequence, Taibbi is looking for (1) a reporter or academic with experience researching government contracts, and/or the funding of NGOs or academic research institutions; and (2) an infographics designer, preferably with experience in areas like ecosystem mapping.
Taibbi is a solid and inquisitive research journalist. However, he is still averse to recognizing Chicago Jesus as the originator of the modern issues he is outlining.
The issue of not accepting the Obama network as the structure that underpins the modern political surveillance state is common, even amid the tribe of walkaways from the progressive system.
Give him time, he’ll find see it.
From his current mission as expressed: […] “For decades, our government at least loosely complied with legislation like the Smith-Mundt Act, which prohibits aiming at the domestic population any official propaganda “intended for foreign audiences.” However, gloves came off in recent years.
In a remarkably short time since the end of the Obama presidency, the U.S. government has funded an elaborate network of NGOs and think-tanks whose researchers call themselves independent “disinformation experts.” They describe their posture as defensive — merely “tracking” or “countering” foreign disinformation — but in truth they aggressively court both the domestic news media and platforms like Twitter, often becoming both the sources for news stories and/or the referring authorities for censorship requests.
The end result has been relentless censorship of, and mountains of (often deceptive) state-sponsored propaganda about, legitimate American political activity. In the Twitter Files we see correspondence from state agencies and state-sponsored research entities describing everything from support of the Free Palestine movement to opposition to vaccine passports as illicit foreign propaganda. Some of this messaging devolves into outright smear campaigns, with efforts to denounce the organic #WalkAway hashtag as a Russian “psychological operation” serving as a particularly lurid example. The Hamilton 68 story (about which more is coming) hints at this dynamic.
The irony is the entire field of “disinformation studies” itself has the features of an inorganic astroturfing operation. Disinformation “labs” cast themselves as independent, objective, politically neutral resources, but in a shocking number of cases, their funding comes at least in part from government agencies like the Department of Defense. Far from being neutral, they often have clear mandates to play up foreign and domestic threats while arguing for digital censorship, de-platforming, and other forms of information control.
Worse, messages from these institutions are parroted more or less automatically by our corporate press, which has decided that instead of a network of independent/adversarial newspapers and TV stations, what the country needs is one giant Voice of America, bleating endlessly about “threats to democracy.” I’ve come to believe a sizable percentage of reporters don’t know that their sources are funded by the government, or that they’re repeating government messaging not just occasionally but all the time. The ones who don’t know this truth need to hear it, and the ones who knew all along need to be exposed. This project is about both of those things, too.
Foreign state media is labeled on platforms like Twitter.
I want to put labels on our own propaganda, and need your help to do it.”
If he keeps going…. he will see it.
[Understand Modern Fourth Branch of Govt Here]
President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; that system was created by President George W Bush and VP Dick Cheney. Instead, what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it so the weapons only targeted one side of the political continuum.
The intelligence apparatus does not want their public-private partnership, between government and big tech social media, interfered with. President Obama steps forth in April 2022 to put an exclamation point in place, saying the public-private partnership he created must control the information. WATCH:
I cannot emphasize strongly enough; how close this collective demand is to a similar construct in Orwell’s 1984 prediction of “The Ministry of Truth.” Indeed, if you follow the need for government control of information its logical conclusion, these demands by the U.S. deep state architects are identical.
I also hope readers can see this speech for what it is. THIS is exactly what we were warning about when the shadows were moving feverously in the past several weeks {GO DEEP}. The catchphrases “disinformation”, “misinformation” and “malinformation” are being cited by President Obama in that speech. Where did that lingo come from? THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY {SEE HERE}
At the top of all critical issues we must understand, share and keep focus on, the issue surrounding the free flow of information is the most critical.
Free speech, social media platforming, user bans, censorship, demonetization, financial targeting of Canadian truckers, Elon Musk purchasing Twitter then reveals the Twitter files, our ability to communicate, the culture war, the digital identity issue, heck, even your ability to read this, all of it, surrounds the central component of information.
This is the big war. Controlling, labeling, emphasizing, downplaying, removing, information; everything else is downstream from this fight.
While President Obama talked about the dangers of misinformation and disinformation, it was only a week prior when the White House officially admitted to creating misinformation, disinformation and malinformation as part of their strategic campaign against Russia in Ukraine. NBC news gleefully embraced the strategy {SEE HERE}.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has an official agency mission {SEE HERE} to “help the American people understand the scope and scale of Mal, Dis, and Misinformation activities,” and Google/DuckDuckGo/Big Tech have officially aligned with both U.S. government interests promising to target, remove and penalize any entity engaged in Mal, Dis and Misinformation activities.
Putting aside the creation of lies to advance a strategic geopolitical objective, the bigger admission in the U.S. government is that much of the information coming to the American public – from them – is manufactured, false, fabricated and wrong.
Simultaneous to this admission of manufactured lies, the platforms of Big Tech and social media are saying they will target, remove and block any content that contradicts the official government position. The govt boldly admits they lie, and social media states they will block anyone who refutes those lies.
In the case of Google, the dominating search engine for information over the internet, they state it is an infraction against their policy to espouse a claim “that contradicts official government records.” Yet, the U.S. government is officially admitting the information they are creating for the government records, is self-admittedly false….. and now in comes DuckDuckGo with the assist.
Not wanting to overinflate the CTH position, but this admitted reality is exactly why we have taken the following position.
…”There is no such thing as “disinformation” or “misinformation”. There is only information you accept and information you do not accept. You were not born with a requirement to believe everything you are told; rather, you were born with a brain that allows you to process the information you receive and make independent decisions.”…
There are only two elements within the public discussion of information, truth and not truth.
In an era filled with “fact-checkers” and institutional guardians at the gates of Big Tech, let me explain exactly why it is important not to accept the speech rules of the guards.
When you accept the terms “disinformation”, “misinformation” or the newest lingo, “malinformation,” you are beginning to categorize truth and lies in various shades. You are merging black and white, right and wrong, into various shades of grey.
When your mind works in the grey zone, you are, by direct and factual consequence, saying there is a problem. You are correct; however, this is where people may make a mistake. That problem is supposed to be there.
It is not a solution to the problem to try and remove the grey simply because it takes too much work to separate the white pixels from the black ones.
You were born with a gift, the greatest gift a loving God could provide. You were born with a brain and set of natural instincts that are tools to do this pixel separation, use them.
If you define the grey work as a problem you cannot solve on your own, you open the door for others to solve that problem for you. You begin to abdicate the work, and that’s when trouble can enter. The sliding scale of Pinocchios is one of the most familiar yet goofy outcomes.
Put more clearly, when you accept the terminology “disinformation”, you accept a problem. The problem is then the tool by which authorities will step in to make judgements. Speech, in its most consequential form, is then qualified by others to whom you have sub-contracted your thinking.
When you willingly sub-contract information filters to others, you have lost connection with the raw information. CTH was founded upon the belief that truth has no agenda, nor does it care about you, your feelings, or your opinion of it. It just sits there, empirically existing as evidence of information in its most pure form.
The search for truth, in all things, is the mission objective of this assembly. Often, we don’t like the truth; often, the truth is bitter, cold, challenging and even painful to accept. However, the truth doesn’t care. Information in its most raw form is ambivalent to your opinion. If you struggle to accept these things, that’s when you need grey. The New York Times is not called the “grey lady” accidentally.
Personally, I am an absorber of information – perhaps on a scale that is unusual. But I do not discount information from any form until I can put context to it and see if the information makes sense given all the variables present. When something doesn’t feel right, it’s almost always because it isn’t right.
Often, I find myself struggling in the grey and complex. It is not unusual to spend days researching, digging, clarifying a situation, only to discover the path to finding the truth is in another direction entirely. Erasing everything and starting over is frustrating, but it is genuinely the only approach that works; and often finding truth is supposed to be difficult, that’s why it is rewarding.
In the digital information age, we are bombarded with information. It is easy to be overwhelmed and need to find something or someone who has better skills at separating the black grains from the white ones. All opinions in this quest should be considered; thus, it is important to allow the free flow of information.
I am not necessarily a speech absolutist. There is some language that needs to be constrained if we are to participate in a respectful society, with grandma’s rules and knowing the audience. The CTH has guidelines for comments for this exact reason. However, those constraints need to be based on a set of inherent values. When it comes to information it is important to draw a distinction from speech.
There needs to be an open venue for all information. Unfortunately, when we begin to apply labels or categorization to information, there’s an opportunity for information to be manipulated – even weaponized. Saul Alinsky spent decades pondering the best techniques to weaponize information and speech. Alinsky’s intentions, in the endeavor to change society by changing how language and information was used, were not good. He devoted his completed rulebook book to Lucifer.
Be careful about anyone saying we need to label or categorize information in order to control or remove speech from the discussion.
You were not born with a requirement to believe everything you are told; rather, you were born with a God-given brain that allows you to process the information you receive and make independent decisions.
Unfortunately, the collectively aligned group of U.S. Govt, the Intelligence Community and now Big Tech, are saying they will put every roadblock they can muster in your way as you attempt to navigate through the misinformation they control.
Team Obama built the system, and now Team Obama are defending the system.
This also happened in April, 2022, the day before Obama’s speech….
He’s a bitter man.
He is worse than bitter. I actually could be convinced he is the Anti-Christ.
A lot of people have proof or SHOULD HAVE PROOF, but it’s putting it out there that counts.
That is a gem. Ty for posting that my friend.
Touché
He’ll need a lot more help than one person can provide when this mushrooms on him.
Maybe he wants several with him so as to blunt the attacks coming his way once he publishes.
The link doesn’t work. At least no on Brave , and I won’t use Safari for stuff like this.
We (DH and I) just viewed video embedded in Dr Malone substack on the topic of fifth gen warfare. Afterward, I decided to see what was up at the Treehouse. And here I am. The two different “threads” go very well together.
The aforementioned video is about 40 minutes. It’s full of insight and information that feel disgusting but are ultimately encouraging. As is often said on these posts/replies, there are more of us than there are of them. If we learn how to use the tools and methods, and we keep our God-given brains engaged, and we stay rooted in what we know to be Truth and Important, we will ultimately defeat these monsters. We are well-armed with insight and information and perspective via this site; I consider Dr M’s post as an enhancement.
On substack dot com, search for “who is robert malone” and look in his archive for 2/3/2023 post on psywars, fifth generation warfare.
If you care to watch/read the transcript, it’s worth the time.
(PS, I see Matt Taibbi has already received much response, expressed gratitude, and contacted some of the responders.)
Patience, please validate if this was the clip on NBA vs NFL/US Congress transgressions?
If correct, FHPO, I was able to get to the link by copy pasting the url syntax BETWEEN The ” ” marks and pasting it into a separate browser instance. Hope this helps.
It’s humorous reading this post. It’s true. Why doesn’t Taibbi just reach out to SD? Would save him a bunch of time. The question posed was, will Matt put the pieces together that leads to Obama? I believe he will however then what? Leftists journalists like him, Aaron Mate, Glen Greenwald, Max Blumenthal along with guys like Jimmy Dore have railed against the security state and criticized both parties for enabling it. As even they have pointed out, the mainstream media like other corporate entities work hand in hand with our government.
I suspect he knows already but doesn’t want to say it.
It shows him to say to those on the left – “But, I like Obama, this is something new since then that we have to confront.”
I’m not up on the terminology (ecosystem mapping).
Would this be the type of person who could uncover what the FBLie lawyer deleted or removed on his way out the Twitter door?
I repeat my opinion, that I simply like Taibbi’s face.
Most modern journalists look like Rosenstein or Strzok, and you just know at a glance that they can’t be trusted.
Check out the fifties movie Teacher’s Pet, starring Clark Gable and Doris Day. Clark was a newspaper editor, a blue-collar guy, who disliked and distrusted college boys.
Now we’re stuck with limousine liberals in journalism jobs, sharing their bizarre obsessions.
So the journalism jobs wither away. Good riddance!
On the topic of ‘disinformation’ aka anything not approved by government, and how Microsoft is enabling it- https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/equality-not-elitism/disinformation-inc-read-one-of-the-blacklists-used-secretly-to-defund-conservative-news
Are space aliens the cause of all this rampant misinformation we’ve seen drastically increase in recent years?
I, for one, am not ruling ANYTHING out at this point. All options are on the table.
All warfare is based on deception.

Sorry Sundance, there was one omission in the signatures above:
George Orwell – author.
You know well we have always been at war with Eastasia. Get a grip man!
You are the beacon which lights the darkness.
East Asia is being used as a means to war upon the USA and its people, principals and constitution. The government dark pools think by creating public-private partnerships they have an end run around the constitution. They are wrong. A sovereign people under the constitution are still protected from the breach of our rights even by corporations. The coup government is a coercive force and bludgeon which violates contractural law.
Impeach Obama.
Sundance’s statement is describing many here reading CTH:
“You were born with a gift, the greatest gift a loving God could provide. You were born with a brain and set of natural instincts that are tools to do this pixel separation, use them.”
I will add God has placed all of you here for just this time to become the Christian Soldiers to fight this epoch battle against the evil one and his minions.
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes”. Ephesians 6:11 NIV
“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. [18] And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” Ephesians 6:17-18 NIV
Example of the sword of the Spirit:
“hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught [3] because of what my enemy is saying, because of the threats of the wicked; for they bring down suffering on me and assail me in their anger.”
Psalm 55:2-3 NIV
The prayers of God’s righteous people are being answered. We can see it we can feel it. We all know they are acting in ways they don’t want to, unplanned. They don’t know God, Satan cannot take his blind hatred of God away for a millisecond. He is sure he will win. That is why we need to continue trust God, ask him for the balm of truth to sooth the evil one’s fiery arrows. This war is not a political war this war is for the hearts and minds of the souls Jesus came to save. We will win this war!
Go in peace.
Stand the gap for others. CTH intercessors pray without ceasing.
Did you sign up, Sundance? It’s a paid gig, and you already know where the bodies are.
Sundance gets credit when I use the terms…
