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:
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":
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:
26. DHS, CISA and Harvard Belfer Center shenanigans, reprised, teaching election officials to censor people with different opinions about mail-in ballots and vote-counting procedures:
27. DHS, CISA and Harvard Belfer Center shenanigans, reprised, teaching election officials to censor people with different opinions about mail-in ballots and vote-counting procedures (cont'd):
28. DHS, CISA and Harvard Belfer Center shenanigans, reprised, teaching election officials to censor people with different opinions about mail-in ballots and vote-counting procedures (cont'd):
BREAKING 🚨 The US State Department has just placed all 30 full-time staff at the Global Engagement Center’s remnant known as R-FIMI on leave, eliminated all 50 full-time staff positions and delivered a notice to Congress ending R-FIMI’s existence and $65 million in funding 🧵👇
This historic development today was made possible by @SecRubio and Acting Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy @DarrenJBeattie, as part of a complete restructuring of the State Department’s activities and capacities to prevent the abuses and weaponization of the past.
@SecRubio @DarrenJBeattie The development today is the State Department’s initiation of a RIF (Reduction In Force) that will permanently end the positions at GEC / R-FIMI, so there is no more reshuffling of positions or simple renamings of the office to carry out the same malign censorship efforts.
Bad Kitty has published a very important series here, with a lot of details that I think need to be cleanly organized and sense-made for a wider audience so what she’s uncovered really hits home. I’ll be going over these on tonight’s sub stream at 10pm ET
2/ Remittances are when a migrant or refugee has money or makes money here in the US, and then sends money back to friends and relatives in their home country.
So, for example, Ukraine refugees who flee then have their lives paid for here by aid programs will send cash back home
3/ And indeed, this is one of the main reasons we import masses of refugees from conflict zones or war zones as part of a Pentagon effort to fund one side of a war or paramilitary struggle. The refugees’ network back home is one we want to financially capacity-build
If it weren’t for USAID’s censorship funding and NED’s censorship operational network, there would still be a free Internet in Brazil. And Jair Bolsonaro would still be its rightfully elected President.
The “Benz breaks news that seems too crazy to be true” to “Bombshell Congressional report showing everything is true” 2 years later pipeline remains undefeated 👑
The link for the original FFO report on all this (25 pages long, 250 hyperlinks, 15 embedded videos with confessions from all key actors involved) migrated to this new link since we first posted the above thread: foundationforfreedomonline.com/dhs-censorship…
2 weeks after Tucker interviewed Pavel, the CIA-founded Radio Free Europe (run directly by the CIA for its first 20 years), ran a long piece insinuating Russia was secretly controlling Telegram & Ukraine must seize control of it instead as a military intelligence imperative.
Straight out of a Benzpill lecture, the piece begins by lauding how wonderful Telegram is for (CIA-backed) rent-a-riots in Belarus, Iran, & in Russia itself. It applauded Telegram’s 2014-2020 era bc Pavel never gave in to the foreign gov’ts the CIA was using Telegram to topple.
72% of Ukraine uses Telegram. It was only 20% 2 years ago. So now everyone, including Ukraine’s military & high-level politicians, are all there using it for war & business. If Russia has a Telegram backdoor, the CIA-founded media org argued, Ukraine is totally, totally screwed.
