Excellent round-up of the professional government-toppling national security state operatives on the board of Newsguard.

Their profession is regime change abroad. But they went and deployed Newsguard at home:
Note how Newsguard's censorship sentinels went after @DarrenJBeattie's Revolver News because of articles referring to Covid vaccines as "gene therapies."

Ask the GOP: Why are you funding the Pentagon's censorship squad? Will you pledge to cut domestic censorship from the budget?
In addition to Newsguard Censorship Squad being staffed and advised by CIA chief / NSA chief / 4-star general Michael Hayden and former State Dept censorship chief Rick Stengel, note Newsguard is also advised by Anders Fogh Rasmussen -- the head of NATO during the Obama years.
We covered Anders Fogh Rasmussen's role in NATO's "From Tanks To Tweets" doctrine in the 7 hour lecture last week.

To recap, Rasmussen created a NATO Censorship All-Star team in 2018 with Joe Biden, Michael Chertoff & Victor Pinchuk, called TCEI:

Note Rasmussen is flanked at Newsguard by DHS chief Tom Ridge, who handed DHS leadership off to Michael Chertoff in 2005.

And by Katie O'Sullivan, from Microsoft's Censorship Squad at its "Defending Democracy" cyber cell.

1. #FauciFiles Analysis Thread. I'll cover the key disclosures tweet by tweet, then have final summarizing thoughts at the end:
2. The first substantive "FauciFile" is Tweet 6, which says the Trump admin "came looking for help from the tech companies to combat misinformation."

This is presumably to suggest it wasn't just Biden who pressured Twitter to censor, that Trump did too:

3. But what are we even looking at in @davidzweig's Tweet 6? What is this picture attached, his own personal notes?

Where are the emails? Where are the transcripts of the calls with the Trump admin?

Where are ***the source documents*** hyperlinked in his bullet point notes?

Let me make this perfectly clear: DHS deputized a Burisma lobbyist with 7 CIA living directors on its board to be the US government's deputized disinformation flagger of "election misinformation" on social media for the 2020 election.

And 100% of its targets were Trump voters.
Receipts for everything in this thread:

Coming up in a few minutes on War Room at warroom.org

Will include below here citations to any claims made in this appearance:
As noted, Burisma and the Atlantic Council signed a formal cooperation agreement to increase investments in the Ukranian private gas company where Hunter Biden was a handsomely paid board member, lobbying the State Department on Burisma's behalf:

The Department of Homeland Security, its CISA division under Chris Krebs, then turned around deputized the Atlantic Council - a Burisma lobbyist - to censor the 2020 election.

The Atlantic Council was the anchor hub of the 4-entity censorship consortium, EIP, who DHS tapped:

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:
