DHS domestic censorship creator Chris Krebs, who turned CISA from cybersecurity to cybercensorship to throttle millions of pro-Trump tweets for the 2020 election, recently teamed up with 2 CIA chiefs (Porter Goss & Leon Panetta) for new censor venture:
Kinda weird the Washington Post only called Leon Panetta "White House Chief of Staff" leaving out that he was both the #1 head of the CIA and #1 head of the Pentagon too.
Guess they didn't want to spook their readers by disclosing the censors are spooks.
Chris Krebs, as CISA censorship czar at DHS, deputized disinformation flagging to the Atlantic Council, whose London-based team censored US opinions about mail-in ballots in 2020.
Atlantic Council has 7 living CIA directors currently on its board:
That's not a typo. Seven living CIA directors - Michael Hayden, James Woolsey, Leon Panetta, David Petraeus, Michael Morrell, William Webster & Robert Gates - on the board of the group deputized by DHS to censor your opinions about mail-in ballots during the 2020 election cycle.
One of Chris Krebs's partners at DHS on the election censorship squad was Suzanne Spaulding.
Suzanne Spaulding is now on DHS's censorship advisory subcommittee with Kate Starbird and fmr Twitter chief censor Vijaya Gadde.
Before, Suzanne Spaulding was a lawyer. For the CIA.
At one disinfo meeting, Suzanne Spaulding said the MAGA hashtag #WalkAway, for gay people leaving the Democrat party, was actually created by Vladimir Putin to get US citizens to walk away from democracy.
She advises 2 major censorship centers, GWU and Belfer Center:
As just one of that $4M total, here's a $200K grant Biden Admin gave them a few months ago, explicitly to neutralize the messages of "populist politicians" in the US:
CIA lawyer turned DHS censorship promoter Suzanne Spaulding also advises Harvard's Belfer Center.
Chris Krebs had Harvard Belfer Center run CISA's formal "disinformation" training sessions to turn 2020 election officials into a censorship mercenary army:
But it's Harvard! Nerdy academics!
Yeah actually Belfer Center is run by a former Army intelligence who was the gatekeeper to the head of the Pentagon.
Oh, and his unit was named the top intelligence unit in the entire US military. By the CIA.
In 2018, Belfer Center & the National Endowment for Democracy partnered for a full-court Internet censorship press to censor "misinformation" that could "tip an election."
In 2020, CISA would cite Belfer Center to say misinformation is a "cyber threat":
Reminder that NED is often described - including by the Washington Post, no less - as perhaps the US intelligence community's most flagship and poorly disguised CIA cut-out:
So you see weird-looking videos from Chris Krebs in October 2018, one month before CISA was created. And they look like hostage videos with Krebs hawking censorship.
But it's on a channel called "Disinfo Portal." How astroturfed by US Intel could it be?
Oh, but DisinfoPortal had just been created 3 months before Krebs shot this video as a joint project of the Atlantic Council, with 7 CIA directors on its board, and the National Endowment for Democracy, created to disguise the private role of the CIA.
But DON'T WORRY: The election narratives that the Atlantic Council was deputized by DHS to censor during the 2020 election are totally the kinds of narratives you want the CIA censoring:
And again, read this FFO report because it will change your life (foundationforfreedomonline.com/11-9-22.html) but we are talking a game-changing amount of censorship damage the Atlantic Council's DFR lab was allowed to do the 2020 election.
This is how hard, as EIP, they censored your speech:
And yes, I know I have posted this chart of who EIP throttled and censored most ahead of the 2020 election a million times, but ask yourself this:
Why is the Atlantic Council - a foreign NATO think tank with 7 CIA directors on its board - deputized by DHS to target these people?
Why is the Atlantic Council - a foreign NATO think tank with 7 CIA directors on its board - deputized by DHS to censor YOUR opinions on mail-in ballots, early vote dropboxes, voting machines, or ballot-counting issues?
Why is it that Pentagon-funded Graphika and CIA-filled Atlantic Council are selected by YOUR government to censor you, even when their determination isn't even that your social media post is wrong, but simply "exaggerates an issue" or uses "misleading statistics"?

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.
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
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
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 🧵
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.
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 🧵
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.
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)
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:
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.
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.
Wow. Incredible find here. Imran Ahmed, the censorship operative who pledged “black ops” against RFK and whose annual priority was to “Kill Elon’s Twitter” is being represented in court by Norm Eisen !!
Norm Eisen specifically made Internet censorship a cornerstone of his domestic color revolution playbook, published in 2025. Eisen personally representing Imran Ahmed now should be understood in that context.
Norm Eisen "personally trained prosecutors and judges" in USAID / State Dept Rule of Law programs before quarterbacking the domestic color revolution network against Trump when he won in 2016
