| THE TWITTER FILES: Clandestine Government Agency Edition | |
| 2022-12-25 | |
| [ZeroHedge] After writing quite the pre-Christmas reflection Friday, night, Journalist Matt Taibbi has decided to grace us with a Christmas Eve edition of The Twitter Files - which he says details "Twitter's relationship to other government agencies - including some that don't like to see their name in print much." 2. It didn’t refute allegations. Instead, it decried “conspiracy theorists” publishing “misinformation,” whose “sole aim” is to “discredit the agency.” 3.They must think us unambitious, if our “sole aim” is to discredit the FBI. After all, a whole range of government agencies discredit themselves in the #TwitterFiles. Why stop with one? 4.The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government – from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA. 5.The operation is far bigger than the reported 80 members of the Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), which also facilitates requests from a wide array of smaller actors - from local cops to media to state governments. Embedded current employees assigned by long established project offices.....just a guess. 6.Twitter had so much contact with so many agencies that executives lost track. Is today the DOD, and tomorrow the FBI? Is it the weekly call, or the monthly meeting? It was dizzying.

| #2 Amazing isn't it? Yesterday's 'conspiracy theory' is today's fully documented discovery. I have absolutely no idea how this all plays out in the end, but I surely hope to live to see it. |
