The “Critical Infrastructure” Hoax And How It Permanently Altered The Course Of American History 🧵

2. Super short story version on @joerogan of how this plot set in motion above, "Say something about a critical infrastructure threat to elections to feel menace," from today's classified annex, snowballed into the Disinformation Governance Control to control social media speech

@joerogan 3. Note, for example, how DHS — who mass censored virtually the entire Trump movement during the 2020 election — got away with censoring by citing power to “protect critical infrastructure” of elections from “misinformation”, self-aware they bumped up against the First Amendment

@joerogan 4. DHS’s social media censorship council, led by its outside censorship partners Vijaya Gadde (head of censorship at Twitter 1.0) and Kate Starbird, was named the “Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Misinformation & Disinformation” council for this same scam legal reason

5. IF YOU WERE CENSORED IN 2020 FOR QUESTIONING MAIL-IN BALLOTS OR VOTING MACHINES, THIS CLASSIFIED ANNEX TODAY IS WHY. Here's a medium-length primer on how US government used this unbelievably deceitful false predicate of "critical infrastructure" to censor MILLIONS in the 2020 election. We now know, that all was part of an explicit plan, classified since July 2016 plan but known to the CIA and FBI this whole time, to "Say something about a critical infrastructure threat to elections to feel menace" while "the evidence" for any actual threat to elections was "regrettably still unavailable." (the CIA and FBI would then make up that evidence 5 months later, using the bullshit made-up discredited Steele Dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign itself)

6. On January 6 2017, two weeks before Trump took office, two last-ditch ops were launched at once: (1) the Obama intelligence community launched Russiagate with a formal (utter bullshit) report claiming Russia interfered in the election (2) DHS took federal control over elections, by designating the metaphysical concept of "elections" as "critical infrastructure" under its own domain. All 50 states opposed DHS doing this. But the outgoing Obama federal government steamrolled all 50 states anyway.

7. It is no coincidence both the cooked crooked intelligence community report launching Russiagate and the DHS federal takeover of elections as "critical infrastructure" (citing the same-day Russiagate intelligence assessment) BOTH happened on January 6, 2017. That was the SAME day Democrats' hail mary last-ditch plot to stop Trump's election certification failed, and Trump's win was certified. With no options left to stop Trump's presidency, they didn't even wait a day to launch what appeared to be their Plan B: if Trump can't be stopped from becoming President, immediately hobble his presidency that same day the presidency was inevitable.

8. And in fact, that is exactly the time sequence of how it played out on January 6, 2017. First, at 1:41pm, Congress certified Trump’s election win. Then, with Trump’s win now final and no hope left for the intelligence community to obstruct it, then suddenly, magically, the entire joint US intelligence community assessment drops just 4 hours later, with a report directly insinuating Trump’s win was illegitimate because Russia intervened to help Trump win. Then, suddenly, magically, DHS just 30 minutes after that swoops in with a permanent unilateral federal designation that it has taken over state-level control of voting systems — which we’d had in this country for 230 years — citing the intelligence community’s bullshit new report, which ODNI and CIA clearly held back until the very moment Trump was certified President so his very first hours begin with him immediately tarred as illegitimate and possibly criminal.

@joerogan 9. Once "elections" were "critical infrastructure," then any "misinformation" about elections, or posted during election season, could be classified as a cyber attack against "critical infrastructure," giving DHS a "cybersecurity" predicate to censor you

@joerogan 10. The result was a government license to totally and utterly censor any public questions on social media about mail-in ballots or electronic voting machines, 5 months before 2020 election day. DHS set up an censorship consortium called EIP to do this

@joerogan 11. 100% of the "repeat misinformation spreaders" DHS moved to censor during the 2020 election cycle were pro-Trump. They even openly referred to Trump as "The Death Star Of Disinformation" while they were in charge of DHS's disinformation flagging team.

@joerogan 12. It was trick after trick after trick. The "critical infrastructure" trick gave DHS control over elections. Then, the "delegitimization" trick let DHS say any posts casting doubt on mail-in ballots or voting machines attacked "critical infrastructure"

@joerogan 13. Once they got away with censoring the 2020 election, 2021-2022 they went wild. They called public health "critical infrastructure" so any posts that questioned government policy on Covid-19, or vaccines, was now "an attack on critical infrastructure"

@joerogan 14. By mid-2021, everything had become "critical infrastructure," so government could censor anything. Our financial system was "critical infrastructure," so there goes questioning banks. Our climate was, so there goes questioning climate change. Ukraine, immigration, the works.
