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:

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":

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:

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"?

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. Image
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. Image

pop star mega-hottie Dua Lipa was given a formal award by the Atlantic Council (Pentagon-funded, State Dept-funded, CIA cut-out funded) for using her activist voice & reach to promote NATO’s political objectives in the Balkans
I do feel, for science, I need to drop this in the thread for fellas to appreciate how effective this… NATO soft power technique… can be
The Atlantic Council has 7 CIA directors on its board, is funded by the Pentagon, the State Dept & cut-outs like the National Endowment for Democracy, and had a formal partnership to kick deal flow to Burisma

This is outrageous. Sander van der Linden has been working directly with both DHS & the US State Department thru his Cambridge U censorship center, which also gets Google Jigsaw funds, & here he is advocating the UK gov’t ban US company X from the UK. See thread below for more 👇

The DMV is run by the Department of Transportation. That means the DMV’s registering of illegals to vote is being run by Pete Buttigieg, the former military intelligence officer beloved by our CIA Blob class.
“Media darling Pete Buttigieg was in unit that worked with CIA in Afghanistan” from @TheGrayzoneNews

@TheGrayzoneNews And from the Department Of You Can’t Make This Shit Up, the centerpiece of Pete Buttigieg’s living room is a huge resource-and-mineral map of Afghanistan Image

Thank you @EricRWeinstein for the shout-out! Below in this thread, I’ll post the USAID Blob Guide to censoring the Internet. Also, it’s this exact network everyone will learn a whoooole lot more about on Sunday-Monday when the thing I’ve been working on all month finally drops…
Below is USAID, which was set up to be a State Dept foreign policy funnel for overt US gov’t initiatives & CIA funding conduit to rush cash to US gov’t covert initiatives, proposing 31 times to financially bankrupt anyone who speaks or hosts online speech that challenges them
Here is USAID plotting to get the 1000s (yes, 1000s) of media organizations it works with to "Agree policies on strategic silence" to collectively censor media coverage of social media narratives.
