Starting a tweet thread here with videos and documents referenced in this live Twitter Space discussion here:
2. The January 6, 2017 CIA memo, in which the only foreign influence the CIA could cite 3 months after the 2016 election was the fact that outlets like RT were getting lots of retweets on Twitter and video views on YouTube:

3. Here is one US Army field guide on how to use ethnic and racial identity affiliations of demographic groups in countries targeted for regime change in order to foment ethnic nationalism then territorial balkanization of the target country:

12. Hybrid warfare "Gerasimov Doctrine" author Mark Galeotti proposing in January 2017 that domestic populism -- via who people who vote in NATO countries -- was now a bigger threat to NATO than foreign threats from Russia or other adversaries.

13. Galeotti would later concede the whole framework for US military involvement in swaying the hearts of minds of US citizens was based, effectively, on a lie:

14. NATO's "From Tanks To Tweets" Doctrine:

15. DHS's "Foreign To Domestic Switcheroo"

rumble.com/v1gx8h7-dhss-f…
16. DHS's declaration of elections as "critical infrastructure" on January 6, 2017, which then allowed DHS to censor "mis/disinformation" as a "cyber threat to critical infrastructure":

17. Shady relationship between Atlantic Council and Burisma: thegrayzone.com/2019/10/13/dcs…
18. NSF is providing SBF-level financial payoffs to the censorship industry:

19. State Department psychological operations laundered through the British to boomerang back and quash political populism:

22. The State Department's Global Engagement Center working with Google Jigsaw and white-shoe academics to create a "psychological vaccine" against populist political opinions:

23. It's way worse than the government portal mentioned in the Twitter Files. CISA and EIP were on real-time group chats with censorship teams from every social media platform to censor emerging narratives the moment they started to go viral:

24. "The Inauguration Of Organized Political Warfare," penned by George Kennan in 1948, one year after the 1947 National Security Act established the CIA:

25. DHS's October 2019 domestic censorship blueprint:

I've now seen what several people pointed out -- Epstein's references to using a SCIF. Obviously, if Epstein meant that literally, it'd mean he was accessing classified material, or had escorted access for non-classified material in a SCIF setting. Not sure what to make of it 🧵 Image
Image
Image
2. Take this exchange from May 7, 2018. "You would have loved my tech meeting in the SCIF" and saying "Ehud here with me" taken literally implies Epstein and Ehud Barak were in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility discussing classified material.
justice.gov/epstein/files/…Image
3. But he follows it by saying "I laughed so loud that I thought it would be overheard in the neighborhood" and the earlier context around Central Park implies he is in NYC, so likely at his home. And he describes his NYC house as having a room "similar to a SCIF" Image

I'll add beyond the Epstein CIA Files we also need the Epstein State Department Files. One of the big mysteries of the Epstein 1990s is how in the flying hell he had the US Department of State as his personal landlord. State *at the very least* has files from then we should see. Image
2. The formal Epstein - State Dept relationship under the Clinton admin is gobsmacking for many reasons. First, Epstein visited the Clinton White House at least 17 times, so seemed to have a direct advisory, consultation or possibly a logistics coordination role in US statecraft Image
3. Second reason we need all State Dept records around this 1990s Epstein housing arrangement, esp its inbound comms from other agencies (CIA, namely) is BECAUSE EPSTEIN RENTED OUT THE MANSION TO THE DEFENSE LAWYER FOR TWO MAJOR DRUG RINGS THAT BOTH HAD ALLEGED CIA INVOLVEMENT Image

Trump State Dept must IMMEDIATELY review all recs & comms btwn (1) Biden’s State Dept, esp US Amb to France & Embassy, & (2) all French Ministry of Justice & Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacts, for FULL INTERNAL AUDIT of coordination on disinformation & platform governance work
2. And the same internal audit MUST be done vis a vis Biden State Dept & Spain. I am telling you, this exercise, combined with publication of the results of this audit, is an ABSOLUTE MUST.
3. I have meticulously documented over a decade’s body of work how the US State Dept built the Censorship Industrial Complex in France and in Spain through funding a swarm army grantee network of NGOs, flaggers, fact-checkers, university centers, & disinfo rapid-response units.

A couple interesting notes on the reveal that Obama’s White House Counsel (top lawyer to the President) Kathy Ruemmler emailed Jeffrey Epstein she was awarded the CIA Agency Medal just hours after getting the award 🧵 Image
2) When I saw this, I wondered why I’d never heard this before. Her CIA Agency Award in 2015 was not and still has never been reported by any press outlet whatsoever, not even a fringe one. It’s not in her Wikipedia. It’s not in her extensive current Goldman Sachs bio.
3) I’ve covered many times, for example, how BlackRock’s Vice Chairman proudly lists his winning the CIA’s Director’s Award openly on his official BlackRock bio. Image

In 1999, Jeffrey Epstein anonymously FOIA'd the CIA to obtain all CIA records "that might reflect an open or otherwise acknowledged Agency affiliation" between himself and the CIA. In 2011, he wrote again to see if CIA had acknowledged any links with him in the 12 years since 🧵 Image
2) By using a lawyer to go through the Privacy Act, this ensured the public couldn't know Jeffrey Epstein was the requester of the CIA records about himself, and all correspondence would remain between the CIA and Epstein's law firm. Image
Image
3) First, I must point out this is an exceptionally interesting file in part because it is actionable. It discloses two CIA file reference numbers, Epstein's 1999 request for CIA records about himself (P-1999-02450) and Epstein's later 2011 request (P-2011-00673) Image

Since NED is the epicenter of the Censorship Industrial Complex, & after Trump's 2016 win NED began hiring officers & directors for their specialty in censorship work, here's a 🧵 on the Censorship Industrial Complex activities of Rep. Joaquin Castro, on NED's board since 2023: Image
Image
Image
Image
2: Since Castro is on both the House Intelligence Cmte & Foreign Affairs, he's uniquely privy to & influential on CIA, State Dept, USAID & NED matters, which those committees oversee. 2017-2018, Castro led the intelligence crusade that "Russian disinfo" online helped Trump win. Image
Image
Image
Image
3: As the 2020 election approached, Castro demanded the FBI take action on "right-wing misinformation" on social media that might get Latino voters to vote Trump. That demand held weight as Castro both oversaw the FBI in Congress & also chaired the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Image
