1. @elonmusk , Your new company @Twitter has many ex FBI/CIA agents in high ranks. Should probably do a little housecleaning.

16. What do all of these Twitter employees have in common? They were ALL hired since @realDonaldTrump was elected.

Why, after Trump was elected, did Twitter hire over a dozen ex FBI/CIA agents and place them in Senior Management roles?
17. @elonmusk - how many "Jim Bakers" are imbedded in Twitter, possibly working against you? or....."watching" you. I'd advise you to do some investigating and clean house.

1. 🧵Meta's Misinformation & Fact Checking Policy is controlled by former career CIA & USAID operatives

I’ve previously written about former CIA officer Aaron Berman, who heads Misinformation Policy at Meta. He is joined by Mike Bradow, a former USAID official, who leads Fact-Checking Policy at Meta.

Berman & Bradow didn’t join Meta to protect free speech—they joined to control content, censor speech, and amplify U.S.-backed narratives, all with the goal of manipulating elections, both domestically and abroad, notably in Brazil.

On X, @mikebradow describes himself as a “democracy champion,” while Berman has previously bragged about championing “diversity & inclusion” while at the CIA—a classic example of intelligence officials using buzzwords to mask their true objectives.

As of today, both are still at Meta, actively running these operations. So, who really controls Meta?

The rest of this thread will expose how Berman and Bradow have used Meta to interfere in elections…Image

2. Of all the foreign election interference by Meta, Brazil stands out the most. While the CIA operated on the ground inside Brazil, Aaron Berman & Mike Bradow played a key role in controlling content online.

They led the operation on Facebook & WhatsApp, censoring opposing narratives and amplifying U.S.-approved messaging to manipulate the outcome of the 2022 Brazilian election.

Here is a LinkedIn post by Aaron Berman detailing what his team at Facebook did to “prepare for elections in Brazil.”Image
3. Both Aaron Berman & Mike Bradow oversaw Meta’s extensive efforts during the 2020 U.S. election.

In his LinkedIn post, Berman describes how Facebook placed “warnings” on over 150 million pieces of content that had been “debunked” by one of Meta’s third-party fact-checkers—the very group controlled by Bradow.Image

1. 🧵Google & Meta function as extensions of the US Intelligence Community. With Jacqueline Lopour, Google's Head of Trust & Safety, and Aaron Berman, Meta's Head of Elections Content/Misinformation Policy, both being career CIA officers, it underscores the CIA's substantial control over online censorship.

Why is this CIA-Big Tech revolving door, where career CIA officers wield power to censor & decide what misinformation is, purposefully suppressed in the broader conversation about censorship?

Why are career CIA officers like Jacqueline Lopour & Nick Rossmann, who both have a history of spreading misinformation & promoting the RussiaGate conspiracy theory, now in senior roles in Trust & Safety at Google, deciding what is misinformation & overseeing content moderation?

The cumulative number of former Intelligence Community personnel hired by Meta & Google since 2018 is staggering. Before 2018, there were only a handful. Here are the combined hires by both companies:
CIA-36
FBI-68
NSA-44
DHS/CISA-68
State Dept-86
DOD-121
2. Why would Google specifically choose these six senior executives to attend an @ISF_OSAC event in DC?

Everyone in this picture, alongside former CIA Director Robert Gates, is a current senior executive at Google & a former career CIA officer, except for the attorney from Perkins Coie (2nd from the left).

3. Jacqueline Lopour spent 10 years at the CIA before joining Google in 2017. She is currently Head of Trust & Safety, where she not only determines what constitutes misinformation but also wields considerable power in content moderation on Search & YouTube.

In this interview, Lopour is promoting the RussiaGate conspiracy theory. I wonder if she believes her own propaganda.

1. THREAD: MIKE BENZ – FROM PROUD BOYS TO FRAME GAME’S ANTISEMITISM

@mikebenzcyber has disclosed, that in 2016, he was a member of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group.

Benz admits to being 'Frame Game', a prominent alt-right & antisemitic account on Gab from 2016-2018. Although he describes it as a “Jewish project to deradicalize the alt-right,” a thorough examination of over 200 videos suggests otherwise.

Is Mike Benz an FBI informant?

It's concerning that despite Benz's antisemitic rhetoric & Holocaust denial, influential figures continue to support him, especially after NBC's @BrandyZadrozny unveiled these revelations. In his response to the NBC story, Benz showed no remorse for his antisemitic rhetoric; instead, he expressed pride in his 'Frame Game' operation.

I hope that after reviewing this thread & the audio evidence, individuals like @elonmusk, @shellenberger, @KyleSeraphin, & @Timcast will reconsider their endorsement of Benz & publicly condemn his antisemitism.

Recently, Elon Musk declared his stance against any form of antisemitism. Does this sentiment extend to Mike Benz?
2. @mikebenzcyber’s Frame Game also had a blog on Steemit. One entry titled “A Jewish Perspective on Jewish Influence” offers interesting insights into the psychology of Mike Benz.

In the blog, Mike blames Jews for “white decline”, acknowledges reading Mein Kampf, & in section 51 he says, “Hitler actually had some decent points.”

What does Mike mean by this?

3. @mikebenzcyber is misrepresenting his work history & even deleted his LinkedIn profile prior to joining Twitter, making it extremely difficult to validate his work experience. He worked as a corporate attorney between 2010-2017 & later tried to launch a dance company, @MyArtYourArt.

In 2019, he joined HUD in the White House. While he brags about being a “Cyber Expert” & diplomat at State Department, records indicate he joined the State Department on November 24, 2020, & left 2-3 weeks, not even staying long enough for an official profile picture.

Benz held the title of “Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Communications and Information Policy” at the State Department. Notably, this specific position neither existed before Benz’s appointment nor continued after his brief tenure. This is a red flag.

By the end of 2020, he moved from DC to Florida.

Currently, Benz claims to lead the Foundation for Freedom Online. However, this organization hasn't released any research since May 2023, & there's no evidence of IRS filings for this non-profit.

1.🚨BOMBSHELL🚨

Inside a 2022 @DHSgov-@ODNIgov-led Program on Disinformation, there are alarming disclosures:

*The U.S. Government ROUTINELY engages with ex-Intel Community operatives currently working in the private sector; Meta is specifically cited

*This report marks the first disclosure that "mission centers at the CIA" also have developed relationships with Social Media firms

Image
2. In February 2023, I flagged concerns about the ODNI's Foreign Malign Influence Center (FMIC).

FMIC is a functional clone of the now-defunct Disinformation Governance Board & was launched in September 2022 under Director Jeffrey Wichman, who is a 30-year CIA veteran.

Image
3. The joint DHS-ODNI report emphasizes Public-Private Partnerships to combat Foreign Malign Influence and outlines recommended roles for FMIC:

*Directly engage with social media companies to address disinformation.

*Serve as a liaison between the Intelligence Community (IC) and Social Media platforms on disinformation issues.

1. 🚨Jai Retter currently serves as the Policy Lead for Violent Extremism at @YouTube

Shockingly, a tweet from Ms. Retter in 2017 openly praises Hitler & includes the use of a swastika

@elonmusk - would you categorize this as anti-semitic?

Does anyone think this tweet is appropriate or even funny?

Is this the conduct fitting for someone in her position as a content moderator at @YouTube ?

Jai Retter previously worked for @DeptofDefense & is an active member of @CFR_org & @AtlanticCouncil

After the public scrutiny generated by this revelation, it is anticipated that Retter will:

1- Make her 𝕏 account private- @jjrett
2- Block me
3- Delete the Hitler tweet- (archived- )
4- Make her LinkedIn profile private (archived- )
5- Continue to moderate YouTube content for 'hate speech' & ‘violent extremism’

2. Here is Jai Retter (@jjrett) openly calling for the deplatforming of anti-vaxxers across the board, as well as their public condemnation

1. 🧵Why has Meta hired more than 160 individuals from the US Intelligence Community since 2018?

Is the Global Engagement Center (GEC) directly providing funding to Meta? Is this a modern-day version of Operation Mockingbird?
