1. Now that it's cool for Elon stans and to care about New Knowledge's government contracts and the GEC, we are left wondering why @mtaibbi omits so much that we covered more than a year ago in his latest #TwitterFiles release.
2. Back in Jan. 2022, our EIC @rocco_castoro cracked open government contracts with Popily, Inc., aka Yonder which was a rebrand of New Knowledge following revelations that they had used Russian-inspired tactics in the Alabama 2017 Senate special election. archive.is/3q4hp
3. The above screenshots describes New Knowledge/Yonder's 2019 role as a government
subcontractor under a DoD contract awarded to Booz Allen Hamilton, the infamous consulting firm for which @Snowden once worked.
4. The above $609k subcontract award to New Knowledge/Yonder was under GS00Q140ADU308-47QFCA18F0114, "a delivery order under One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS)" to Booz Allen. Funded by the PEO Intelligence *ELECTRONIC WARFARE* & Sensors (DOD-Army - USASC)."
5. Another subcontract for Yonder / New Knowledge Popily, Inc. (all the same entity) from 2020.
This one for $1.2 million under the DoD and State Dept.'s $64 million contract with Accenture Federal Services LLC.
To provide "foreign influence information" and licenses for ILMS.
6. ILMS stands for Integrated Logistics Management System Records, and Accenture was awarded a potential $64 million contract — SAQMMA09A017319AQMM19S0146 — under Information Technology Schedule 70 (IT-70) by the @StateDept. #TwitterFiles
7. New Knowledge / Popily / Yonder's $1.2 million was as subcontractor under Accenture, the Dublin-based $50 billion IT behemoth that has their fingers in an untold number of the world's corporations and govs.
$1.2 million for "foreign influence information/licenses for ILMS."
8. Again, ILMS is the Integrated Logistics Management System Records, the State Dept. records database for Current and former Civil Service, Foreign Service employees, including members of the Senior Executive Service, Presidential appointees, etc.
NEW KNOWLEDGE was in charge.
9. More on ILMS here: state.gov/wp-content/upl…
10. We suspect one thing some of the principal #TwitterFiles proponents REALLY don't want you to know is that New Knowledge / Yonder was backed by Kelly Perdew.
Perdew was Season 2 winner of Trump's The Apprentice.
"dEr R n0 cOinCiDencEs durrrr"🤤
11. Also of note, one of the two addresses listed for Yonder on the 2019 DoD subcontract that gave the creep-o New Knowledge API free reign across social networks, including Twitter, was in the same building as the Republican Party of Texas Austin office. #TwitterFiles
12. The primary office address listed for Yonder/New Knowledge is just 472 ft. from the Travis County GOP's offices.
Had enough yet? Because there's so much more. #TwitterFiles #ShitterFiles 🚽
13. Here's snippets from a March 2018 report commissioned by New Knowledge / Yonder on Peter Thiel and #Maga3x's @Cernovich, @bakedalaska, @jeffgiesea, et al.
Which they should be more curious about... yet somehow they've all just ignored.
Maybe @ShellenbergerMD will care? 🤷♂️
