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:

archive.vn/otX64#selectio…
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:

foundationforfreedomonline.com/11-9-22.html
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:
The Biden Admin has given GWU $4 million in government grants to censor the Internet. foundationforfreedomonline.com/11-22-22.html

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.

intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/…
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":

iri.org/wp-content/upl…
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.

journalofdemocracy.org/articles/news-…
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:

stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:tr1…
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"?

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 Image

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
Part 1 here

It’s important to understand the relationship between USAID external policies and immigration & refugee internal policies.

Remittances from migrants & refugees in the US provides more money to the home networks USAID sponsors in target countries than USAID itself 🧵 Image
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 Image
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 Image

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 👑
See the FFO report and thread that broke this whole story and network open:
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…
