Good day all. Yet another data dump from the Twitter Files occurred Saturday, (December 24th<\/sup>), and it\u2019s a doozy. It turns out that it wasn\u2019t just the FBI that was working to suppress the 1st<\/sup> Amendment rights of the American people, but the whole host of three letter agencies in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Twitter Files have already shown the world just how much contempt the bozos, Progressives, meatheads and Liberals, have for the 1st<\/sup> Amendment, Conservatives in General and the Greatest President of the 21st<\/sup> Century, Donald Trump. It has also shown how the FBI was directly targeting anyone they perceived as a threat to the Biden campaign and later maladministration. Now it looks like all the CIA, DoD and other agencies were also in on the act. Here are some of the details from the Daily Wire<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Journalist Matt Taibbi released a new installment of \u201cThe Twitter Files\u201d Saturday afternoon that showed that the FBI was not the only government agency that was in regular contact with Twitter about content on the platform. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is going to be one Hell of a Christmas present.<\/p>\n

Taibbi said that the State Department, Department of Defense, and Central Intelligence Agency were also involved in contacting the platform about potential foreign propaganda on the platform. <\/b><\/p>\n

Internal company emails showed that FBI agent Elvis Chan asked Twitter executives if he could invite an \u201cOGA\u201d \u2014 Other Government Agency \u2014 to an upcoming conference.<\/b><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t noticed, the fine hand of Elvis Chan<\/a> is all through the Twitter Files. He\u2019s the one who was sending Yoel Roth and the others at Twitter lists of accounts that they wanted shut down, some of them obviously satirical in nature. Now it seems that Elvis, instead of leaving the building, was also acting as a middle man for all the other agencies as well.<\/p>\n

The email referred to a Twitter employee, whose name was redacted, and said that people from the employee\u2019s \u201cformer employer,\u201d which a Twitter executive acknowledged meant the CIA, were specifically inquiring about the invitation. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of Twitter\u2019s head lawyers said in internal company communications that the fact that employee used to work for the CIA was supposed to be a secret. <\/b><\/p>\n

One of the other little details that has been coming out is just how many former FBI, CIA, NSA and other three letter agency members went to work for Twitter and other Big Tech companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government was in constant contact not just with Twitter but with virtually every major tech firm,\u201d Taibbi said. \u201cThese included Facebook, Microsoft, Verizon, Reddit, even Pinterest, and many others. Industry players also held regular meetings without government.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

The ONLY reason any of these agencies should have been talking with Twitter and other Big Tech companies was in the course of a criminal investigation, and the intelligence agencies should have had no contact with them at all. Instead, it looks like they were all indulging in an orgy of civil rights violations.<\/p>\n

Taibbi said that the FBI was \u201cclearly tailoring\u201d its searches on the platform to look for potential content violations that Twitter could take action on. Ex-FBI lawyer Jim Baker, who was involved in a lot of controversy surrounding his involvement in different investigations into former President Donald Trump, even thought that the FBI\u2019s actions were strange. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cOdd that they are searching for violations of our policies,\u201d Baker said in an email. <\/b><\/p>\n

Actually it makes sense. It looks like it was meant to give the FBI some cover in case any of this came out. I don\u2019t think they ever expected someone like Elon Musk to come in, buy out the entire company, lock, stock and barrel and then release all the internal documents on what the Federal Agencies were doing in violation of the Constitution of the United States.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) flagged the \u201cfringiest\u201d conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election to the social media company. <\/b><\/p>\n

What the Hell was this \u201cTask Force\u201d doing? If there were actual foreign governments pushing conspiracy theories, they would have been a lot more subtle in what they were producing, and there wasn\u2019t anything they could come up with that could beat what our own Home Grown conspiracy theorists could dream up. I won\u2019t even bother with the question of why this task force even exists.<\/p>\n

The Twitter Files showed that Twitter was at times under pressure from to take action on accounts that federal law enforcement claimed were tied to foreign governments, even though it didn\u2019t have enough evidence to come to the same conclusion as those law enforcement agencies. <\/b><\/p>\n

That was probably due to the accounts were not foreign, but Americans who, frankly, don\u2019t trust the United States government. (Such as the nuts known as Sovereign Citizens<\/a>) Most foreign governments know that it would be a waste of time creating fake accounts to push conspiracy theories. They can\u2019t compete with our Home Grown nut cases.<\/p>\n

The Twitter employee who allegedly worked at the CIA in the past said that one claim from the State Department about Russian influence operations was not supported by the company\u2019s conclusions because the company had \u201ca lack of technical evidence.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

He also said that government pressure was increasing because they wanted to give attribution to the countries responsible for the influence campaigns. <\/b><\/p>\n

Replying to @mtaibbi<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

40. \u201cDue to a lack of technical evidence on our end, I’ve generally left it be, waiting for more evidence,\u201d he says. \u201cOur window on that is closing, given that government partners are becoming more aggressive on attribution.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

41. Translation: \u201cmore aggressive\u201d \u201cgovernment partners\u201d had closed Twitter\u2019s \u201cwindow\u201d of independence.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Other Government Agencies\u2019 ended up sharing intelligence through the FBI and FITF not just with Twitter, but with Yahoo!, Twitch, Clouldfare, LinkedIn, even Wikimedia,\u201d Taibbi added. \u201cMany people wonder if Internet platforms receive direction from intelligence agencies about moderation of foreign policy news stories. It appears Twitter did, in some cases by way of the FITF\/FBI.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

If you were wondering about the apparent coordination when people\u2019s accounts were blocked across multiple platforms, there is your answer. They were following the instructions from the FBI. Of course, when people started saying that this was happening, they were accused of being conspiracy theorists.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Federal law enforcement also flagged for Twitter suspicious accounts that could have been tied to foreign operatives that were promoting narratives about Ukraine and coronavirus vaccines. The accounts were tweeting \u201cUkraine \u2018neo-Nazi\u2019 Propaganda\u2019\u201d and claiming that the administration was corrupt in determining which countries that it sent vaccines to. <\/b><\/p>\n

One of these \u201cTheories\u201d was that Joe Biden helped orchestrate the 2014 coup in the Ukraine and put his boy, Hovernose on the board of directors of Burisma. I don\u2019t know about the former, but the Hunter Biden Laptop does seem to confirm the latter, which was why the FBI and the Deep State went to such lengths to suppress that story.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a difficult speech dilemma. Should the government be allowed to try to prevent Americans (and others) from seeing pro-Maduro or anti-Ukrainian accounts?\u201d Taibbi concluded. <\/b><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a very simple answer. Hell NO! There, was that so hard to figure out?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe line between \u2018misinformation\u2019 and \u2018distorting propaganda\u2019 is thin. Are we comfortable with so many companies receiving so many reports from a \u201cmore aggressive\u201d government?\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

Apparently, Twitter 1.0 was quite comfortable handling all the reports and requests. As I\u2019ve said before here and in other posts, the old Twitter never expected any of this to come out. Then they pissed off the Richest man on Earth, one who is a firm believer of Free Speech. He bought the company, discovered just how bad things were, and the results were the Twitter files. With any luck, this may bring down the entire house of cards in Washington. (One reason the Deep State is so dead set to \u201cGet Trump!\u201d If he wins reelection, this time he\u2019s going in hammer and tongs)<\/p>\n
