1. More on my huge expose’:

Essentially I found how NGO’s and gov work together on social media and OFF LINE too. I highly suggest you read the last doc in this tweet, it explains their methods.

Earlier I introduced you to the word, “Amitt” (Adversarial Misinformation and Influence Tactics and Techniques). I found this thru the State Dept GEC partnered org called Drog.

AMITT, is an information security-based framework for responding to disinfo.

➡️ How they do this is the interesting part. ⬅️

It’s very important to know this. 👇🏻

♦️The Blue Team framework is how THEY RESPOND to disinformation.♦️

I found a GitHub page that led me to everything there is to know about how AMITT works. AMITT was later upgraded to the DISARM framework and used for Covid disinfo in coordination with Chris Krebs (CTI League). More on this later.

And it’s also how I found Sara J Terp which led to a tweet and an article she was in. More on the article later.

Tweet archive



Sara said there would be no more secrets, so I took her up on this. Thank you Sara! Also listed under her tweet was a very interesting article that led me to finding additional history on Amitt. I was also introduced to Sofwerx and her work pals. This is coming up next and very interesting!

“2017-2018: SJ Terp starts working on adapting information security tools, processes, and procedures for disinformation use. She links up with JJ Snow, Pablo Breuer, the usual collection of infosec geeks, and the SOFWERX team to work on characterising and countering hybrid incidents (cybersecurity plus disinformation, noting that information operations have always included this).”

GitHub link - there’s all kinds of links and goodies.



Archive of page:



Next we will review AMITT a tiny bit further using a document that describes how Blue Team responds to each incident.

You really need to read the Blue Team counters. This is an entire doc of responses. Here’s one example of counters for rallies and protests.

🔹Doxing (Name and Shame)
🔹Cut off Banking Access
🔹Infiltrate Groups
🔹Etc



Doc Archive



🔸List your favorite counters in a reply!

I’ll review AMITT/DISARM more a bit later. This was just to acquaint you. Make certain to read the intro first.archive.is/0y56y

In this below thread, you have the first days of Sofwerx working with Sara Terp, Pablo Breuer, Marc Rogers etc on what will become the Amitt framework. It was an invitation event.

I also added what Sofwerx is, and how it came about.

It’s Special Operations Cyber Command working with non government orgs (NGO).

But it seems to me that they are incubating the NGO’s tho they say they don’t do this.
Part 3 covers the details on the building of the AMITT disinfo framework by Sara Terp and crew. Renee Diresta helped.

Also inside I found a doc that showed Sara Terp as an actual employee of Sofwerx. And she worked on the disinformation rating system for the Global Disinformation Index.

Recall that Sofwerx was created under a Partnership Intermediary Agreement, established in September of 2015, between DEFENSEWERX and the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).

Does this make her a US gov employee? I don’t know, does anyone here know?
Part 4 covers the DISARM foundation. This was established some time after the Disarm framework (previously called AMITT) was put into use. DISARM is an upgrade.

It’s also been formally taken up by the US government now in the last few weeks. Although it was part of CTI League that Chris Krebs used for Covid.

Next we move on to CTI League.
Part 5 exposes Chris Krebs for working with CTI League which handles disinformation by swarming hashtags, using online and offline influencers, using volunteer ELVES and tons more!

Yes, people on social media are being affected by gov coordinated influence operations. I have a ton more on this for another day.

Next I think we’ll discuss just what elves are. And where this term originated from.
Part 6 is on Elves and influencers (trolls and disinfo researchers) used in the disinfo/misinfo racket. Volunteers that help silence “disinfo” both online and offline. They even coordinate with the news.

This will also cover their use in the AMITT/DISARM disinfo framework. This is used by the US, UN, EU, NATO, and tons of other foreign governments.

The USA just officially partnered with the DISARM foundation tho they worked with them for the CTI League Covid program.
Part 7 Although Reality Team technically should be under the Elves and Influencer section, it’s too significant to bury.

We are talking about government partnering with social media influence operation runners.
Part 8 delves into the connections between these people and the CIA linked Integrity Initiative.

Both Sara Terp, and Pablo Breuer who were at the Atlantic Council Disinfo Portal with all those Integrity Initiative folks and orgs, were Atlantic Council themselves. (Evidence inside the thred.)

These folks worked in unison with the US Defense Dept’s Sofwerx etc in developing the AMITT/DISARM disinfo framework currently adopted by our DHS.

Pay attention people, because you are going to eventually be aquatinted with the end result

Isn’t it also awfully coincidental that a “past” Ministry For Defense woman, involved in the earliest days of disinfo work, hung out with much of the Integrity Initiative at the Disinfo Portal?

Recall the Ministry for defense payed the Institute For Statecraft Integrity Initiative.

At least 3 of this crew have been linked to Disinfo Portal:

🔹Sara Jayne Terp
🔹Pablo Breuer
🔹Christopher Walker
Part 9 - Now that you have some basics, let’s delve into the earliest days of cognitive security.

The main players in this thred here are:

🔸David Perlman
🔸Pablo Breuer
🔸Sara J Terp
🔸Thaddeus Grugq
🔸Rand Waltzman

In 2016, David operated CoPsycon and mingled with the US gov and NATO. Later leaving Twitter disgruntled.

Later this became CogSecTech. And I have linked, “the main crew” to this.

This early history is important for laying the groundwork of even more to come.
Part 10 introduces you to a history few are aware of for New Knowledge.

While relatively new, New Knowledge was given a boost by the United Nations that helped cement their place in the tech world.

Many also didn’t know of their work with the State Dept, NSA, and Obama Whitehouse.

The most bothersome to me personally was the war room, and their post election activities.

This organization has had many name and ownership changes: Popily, Yonder, and now Primer.

Two important people in this org were Jonathan Morgan and Renee Diresta. New Knowledge was from Austin Texas.
Part 11 is an excellent recollection by New Knowledge’s, Renee Diresta, of the after effects of the 2016 election. Tech world was not amused.

Here Renee admitted to building a disinformation machine as a result of the 2016 election.

Q: “So essentially, are you guys building a disinformation machine?”

A: Renee Diresta - “That's a good way to put it, yeah.”

The State Department Global Engagement Center was created as a result of the 2016 election.

“ So we were advocating for a couple of really basic things:

One, create a task force or a center in government that's responsible for monitoring this and ultimately became the Global Engagement Center, which exists.”

It also seems Russia discussions started in the Whitehouse in October 2015.

“Russia was part of the conversation in the White House and in the State Department advising I was doing in October 2015”

Read more inside, there’s multiple posts and you shouldn’t miss any!
Part 12-A Bad Kitteh Exposé

Contrary to what many people think, the coup upon Trump began within days of him announcing his run in June, 2015.

In fact the first propaganda about Trump began within 24 hours of him announcing, and originated from Moveon.

We had Google Lab partnering with Hacks/Hackers, and even seeding the First Draft News Coalition. First Draft News concentrated on disinformation.

The integrity initiative website went live at the same time to fight, “Russian” disinfo. First it worked during Brexit and then for the Trump Campaign. The Integrity Initiative even infiltrated US election campaigns.

First Draft News and Integrity Initiative linked orgs worked together from the get go. And one of its founder orgs, Storyful, even had a Director that founded the 77th psyop brigade.

The director of First Draft News sat on the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on the Future of Information and Entertainment.

Interestingly, Google is partnered with the World Economic Forum, who also later independently inserted itself into the disinfo racket.
Part 12-B Bad Kitty Exposé

In March 2018, the World Economic Forum convened a meeting of the minds with a very large consortium of disinfo groups. Essentially to take stock of where they all sat and how it could be improved upon.

The entire disinfo network is massive and funded heavily by the left. The Knight Foundation, Soros Open Society, Craig Newmark, and many others started early on.

The Google Partnered Knight Foundation and Craig Newmark actually even funded the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP)!
Part 13 Bad Kitty Exposé

This part is relatively short and concentrated on a single WHO document prepared by the CTI League folks.

The biggest news here is that the World Health Organization (WHO) embedded people at the CTI League!

What this means is that the WHO was working with anti conservative (coming up in later parts) and gov linked influence operations to control Covid messaging.
Part 14 Bad Kitty Exposé

Kate Starbird of the, Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), was involved in work for a grant which was for the Hacks/Hackers organization.

Recall Hacks/Hackers was partnered with Google Lab who organized the first major censorship ever.

Hacks/Hackers was also a part of the CTI League Reality Team that worked on social media to control narratives.

Amy X Zhang, of Hacks/Hackers was involved in the above grant along with Kate Starbird.

Amy Zhang was also involved in a second grant called Wisdex that DIRECTLY involved the EIP. Zhang is from the Washington University Center For Informed people (CIP). The same center that was part of the EIP, and is where Katie Starbird also worked.

There is also a World Economic Forum group called the Global Coalition For Digital Safety. Many involved in the CTI League Files were involved in this.

Also involved with this WEF coalition was the Atlantic Council GeoTech Center. The same center that housed Sara Terp and Pablo Breuer of the CTI League files.
Part 15 Bad Kitty Exposé

This part discusses the first ever Misinfocon held not long after Trumps inauguration. The Credibility Coalition was created during this event.

Interestingly, Project Candelabra, was also conceived during this event by Dean Jackson of the CIA NED.

Just recently I realized that Dean Jackson was also involved at the Atlantic Council Disinfo Portal.

There he shared space with NED involved Ukraine and Serbian regime change orgs, the NED itself, many CTI League Files folks, the Alliance For Securing Democracy aka Hamilton68, Integrity Initiative partnered orgs, and many Integrity Initiative linked people.

Dean was even an analyst on the Jan 6 committee.
Part 16 Bad Kitty Exposé

Renee Diresta and Jonathan Morgan, of New Knowledge, started Data For Democracy in 2016 and shortly after Trumps election. In fact, it was the same month Obama’s Trump resistance org, Indivisible, was created.

Data for Democracy was funded by Arabella Hopewell, and worked with Indivisible to help get Obama’s resistance messages out.

They used foreigners from around the world to enact USA social change via pushing the Resistance.

Their Indivisible amplifying project even pushed a site that called for Trumps electors to switch to Hillary because of Russian collusion!

Data for Democracy was partnered with the CTI League Files, Credibility Coalition. And Renee Diresta was in the Government partnered EIP for election disinfo!
Part 17 Bad Kitty Exposé

The Alliance4EU is a major part of the DHS CISA censorship ring under the CTI League DISARM foundation. It is also involved in a major anti populist right movement. But wait, it will get much worse in later parts.

Theirs and Scientists4EU’s Netwar System and Social Media Intelligence Unit (SMIU) operated on social media and created dangerous, long term chaos, for targets on the right in both the EU and USA. I’ve found funding for SMIU from the EU.

Alliance4EU also operated a European Hub for Civic Engagement. This was used to connect civic activists orgs to funders. This gets billionaire funding from Soros etc.

The hub was initiated by Alliance4EU, Das Progressive Zentrum, and Citizens for Europe.

Das Progressive Zentrum has a massive partner network you will learn more about later.
Part 18 Bad Kitty Exposé

The Alliance4EU, that works with the DHS CISA on censorship, was created to destroy the right and ring in a global EU!

“To be able to better fight the right-wing populists stuchtey & Roeder together with activists from Poland, Italy, France, Greece, Spain, Hungary, Austria, Germany, & Great Britain, have founded a new organization: the Alliance4Eu."

Read more of the d*mning evidence below.

This is what is CURRENTLY censoring us along with the EU and US governments, NATO, UN, and WHO etc! It’s gone global! This is why you MUST pay attention!
Part 19 Bad Kitty Exposé

It seems the DHS CISA censors, the Alliance4EU, has long been involved in Global philanthropy!

Yeah at first I found their connections to Philea, but that was a merging to create an even larger philanthropic org. The Alliance4EU worked with the older orgs too. Read more towards the bottom of this thread for more on this particular revelation.

“In 2021, the GLOBAL European Foundation Centre and the Donors and Foundations Networks (Dafne) merged to become Philea.”

All the worst far left funders and partners that you can imagine. Soros, Rockefeller, Gates, World Bank, World Economic Forum, and tons more!

They are even partnered with Serbian and Ukrainian philanthropy!🤔

You’re probably thinking it can’t get much worse, consider that I’m only halfway thru the exposé series.
Part 20 Bad Kitty Exposé

The DHS CISA partnered, Alliance4EU, has now recently cofounded a new GLOBAL networked org called DemoCrisis.

Their debut hosted by the European Parliament!

An org for gathering up the few crumbs of the populist right leftovers, and destroying them.

The DemoCrisis mission is fighting the populist right which they consider a pandemic and scourge upon the world.

DemoCrisis:

“Our mission is to foster cooperation among democratic activists, share experiences, and support one another in countries facing democratic backsliding or at risk. In a world where nationalistic populism transcends borders, our network seeks to provide global solutions and rapid support to democracy advocates worldwide.”

“The platform is based on the premise that nationalistic populism is a global pandemic, travelling fast across borders; nationalistic leaders who succeed inspire others to follow suit.

The solution must therefore cross borders, ensuring that best practices and even moral support travel fast among freedom fighters across the world. Just like climate change requires urgent cooperation at a global level, democratic backsliding is an urgent wake-call to act together. The DemoCrisis Action Network is connecting global solutions for a global problem.”
Part 21 Bad Kitty Exposé

It seems that Sara-Jayne Terp currently works for the UK Ministry Of Defense.

Also recall that I earlier found evidence of past Ministry Of Defense work for her too.

And a whistleblower in the CTI league files said she was commissioned personally by Obama.

Recall she’s involved with TONS of the CTI League Files disinfo orgs that were incubated. She even helped write the Global Disinformation Index (GDI).

This UK Ministry Of Defense position is quite coincidental since she hung out with a massive Integrity Initiative crowd at Disinfo Portal. And the Ministry Of Defense, and the State Department funded the Integrity Initiative.

————————————

Off Topic, but I wanted to mention this. These are tidbits from past threads, that got buried, and I just wanted to add them somewhere:

Also at the Disinfo Portal with Sara Terp, Pablo Breuer, and Hamilton68 etc was the CIA NED, and NED partnered Ukrainian and Serbian regime change orgs.

Also coincidentally, the Democrat resistance trainers, Momentum, were trained by the founders of Serbian Otpor. Otpor is defined as, “the resistance”.

Serbian Otpor was also included in the democrat Resistance Playbook and used as strategy in tons of website writings. The Dems also talk about the Ukrainian Orange Revolution as a strategy example often too.

Renee Diresta helped Obama’s Indivisible which used Momentum which was trained by the Serbian Otpor founders.

What’s with all this Serbian and Ukrainian regime change stuff?

PS, it took nearly 5 attempts to add the below part 21 to my highlights. 😹

🔥🔥Attention researchers! I have some shocking new info on Ryan Routh! He claims he was director of a group called the "International Volunteer Center" in Ukraine and also claimed to have contact in Syria, Pakistan and Israel. This suspected Trump assassin was flagged by the US during his return from Ukraine, but Mayorkas DHS refused to probe him.

The International Volunteer Center denies Ryan Routh’s involvement. But he is listed in a 2023 Semafor article saying that he heads it.

Also, The international Volunteer Center has a sister org that bridges English speaking countries with the Ukraine. It’s called America House Lviv.

Now this is where it gets tricky… It works with the US Embassy and Irex. Irex works with the US State Department and was involved in the Integrity Initiative.

“America House Lviv opened in October, 2022 with a mission to catalyze the prosperous and democratic future of Ukraine by investing in the great potential of Ukraine’s emerging leaders and strengthening ties between Ukrainians and Americans. Through the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, America House is administrated by global development and education organization IREX.”

Routh was also flagged in 2019 and was under suspicion for possessing a firearm while a felon, FBI Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey Veltri of the Miami Field Office revealed on Monday.

Chelsea Walsh, a nurse who volunteered in Kyiv, Ukraine in 2022, claims she told Border Protection agents about several encounters she had with Routh in the country when she returned to Washington’s Dulles airport one year before Routh’s interview in Honolulu. She told authorities she suspected Routh was dangerous and exhibited “Overall Predatory Behavior

I have supplemented, Just the News’s, article about the centers, and will link all articles and websites in a new post. We need some serious investigation into this.Image

Here’s the Just the News article that mentioned the, “International Volunteer Center", that got me digging deeper.

Suspected Trump assassin flagged by U.S. during return from Ukraine, but Homeland refused probe

Routh even gave U.S. agents who interviewed him a business card that portrayed him as the director of a group called the "International Volunteer Center" that also claimed to have contact in Syria, Pakistan and Israel. He also described who had underwritten his efforts to recruit foreigners to assist Kiev.

justthenews.com/government/sec…Image
Here’s the Semafor article that references Ryan Routh and the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine.

“Most of the Ukrainian authorities do not want these soldiers,” said Ryan Routh, head of the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine, a private organization which helps foreigners seeking to assist the war effort connect with military units and aid groups. “I have had partners meeting with [Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense] every week and still have not been able to get them to agree to issue one single visa.”

🔥The ABC Whistleblower affidavit on ABC and Harris cheating on the debate has been released. According to this, the Whistleblower has recordings too!

And as safeguards, they sent this certified to majority leader Johnson the day before the debate.

Plus they also have sent, and still possess, unopened certified letters and FedEx packages mailed from BEFORE the debate.
Here’s a missing page. Us noticing that they used bad camera affects for Trump was no mistake.

This also includes the fact checking parts etc.
This is for all the haters also. Boohyeah! 🤘🏻🙌🏻

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! Florida based, official international fact checking org, is funded by the US State Dept! And it operates in the United States too! This is a massive scandal! The State Department, who legally can’t operate in the US, has been funding US fact checking since 2015! Yes, it’s earliest days!

The news orgs that operate under the IFCN flag, such as the Washington Post, do the leg work. Which then results in posts on Facebook etc being labeled and the algorithms throttling the post.

This official international fact checking org is also partnered with Google. Poynters IFCN was funded by the CIA linked, State Dept NED and Omidyar grants.

Recall Google initiated the first ever US censorship and expanded it globally by using the First Draft Consortium. First Draft also worked hand in hand with the IFCN. Poynters Politifact was in the First Draft network.

♦️Now check out this timeline of events.

April 2015 - First Draft Consortium started by Google

June 2015 - Official First Draft Announcement comes out. Along with its Google News Lab partnership announcement (obviously)

Aug 2015 - Google News Lab partners with Poynter

Sept 2015 - IFCN is launched by Poynter

Oct 2015 - Poynter launches IFCN with State Dept NED funding

Oct 2017 - Google news lab partners with IFCN specifically

Dec 2018 - Poynter acquires Politifact

♦️Next I’ll list some key quotes from IFCN’s beginnings:

Oct 21, 2015 - “Today marks the online launch of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at Poynter. This informal network, a forum for fact-checkers from five continents, is born out of the desire to study and discuss fact-checking as a journalistic instrument worldwide.

The IFCN is supported by grants from the Omidyar Network and the National Endowment for Democracy.”

“Poynter's partnership with Google is the institute's first major alliance with a digital technology company.”

♦️ Now showing US links is easy.

“Led by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at the Poynter Institute, FactChat is the first collaborative project to unite U.S. fact-checking organizations with two major Spanish-language news broadcasters to fight mis/disinformation during the 2020 presidential campaign.”

“Facebook users in the US and Germany can now flag articles they think are deliberately false, these will then go to third-party fact checkers signed up with the IFCN.

Those fact checkers come from media organisations like the Washington Post and websites such as the urban legend debunking site Snopes.

Another warning appears if users try to share the story, although Facebook doesn't prevent such sharing or delete the fake news story. The "fake" tag will however negatively impact the story's score in Facebook's algorithm, meaning that fewer people will see it pop up in their news feeds.”

“Alexios Mantzarlis at first led the IFCN:

Then he moved to GOOGLE NEWS LAB. And is now Principal, Google Trust & Safety Intelligence. As Director of the IFCN, he helped draft the fact-checkers' code of principles and shepherded a seminal partnership between fact-checkers and Facebook.”

♦️Now let’s head into Brazil:

- Cristina Tardáguila, NED FELLOW, Founder of Agência Lupa and was at Brazil misinfocon with Zommer. Both were GDI advisors. Cristina Tardáguila is the IFCN Associate Director.

- Laura Zommer is Zommer isn the board of the IFCN and Género & Numero from Brazil. She’s also the Executive and Editor-in-Chief at Chequeado, the first initiative of fact-checking and verification of public discourse in Latin America.

Knight Fellow Laura Zommer started Factchequeado, a journalism and education hub to stem disinfo flows in Spanish-language platforms in the US.

Factchequeado will use innovative approaches developed by Chequeado and Maldita in Latin America and Spain – introducing a WhatsApp tipline to involve audiences in fact-checking. Factchequeado is a collaborative alliance with Latino media and fact-checking orgs.

Sources plus more to follow.Image

Let’s begin with the International Fact Checking Network’s (IFCN) first days.

♦️Oct 2015 the IFCN was launched by Poynter with support from grants by the Omidyar Network and the National Endowment for Democracy.



♦️This is a September 2020 report, and funding still was from the State Dept NED and Omidyar but now included Soros funding etc.

Broadband Commission research report on ‘Freedom of Expression and Addressing Disinformation on the Internet’

The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN, 2019a) was launched in September 2015 as a business unit within the non-profit journalism school Poynter Institute for Media Studies, based in St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S.. The Institute, which owns the Tampa Bay Times, launched IFCN to bring together fact-checkers worldwide and to promote good practices and knowledge exchange in the field.

The IFCN’s mission is to monitor trends, formats and policy-making about fact-checking worldwide, to publish regular articles about fact-checking, to promote training - both in person and online - as well as ensuring basic standards through the fact-checkers’ code of principles. On August 6th, 2020, IFCN had 79 verified active signatories of its code of principles, 14 verified signatories under renewal (IFCN, 2020d)

IFCN has received funding from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, the Duke Reporters’ Lab, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, the National Endowment for Democracy, the Omidyar Network, the Open Society Foundations and the Park Foundation (IFCN, 2019d).

Please excuse both the Sept and Oct 2015 dates, in the top post, for the inception of the IFCN. The likely explanation is that most things are planned before they are announced.

Now back to sourcing the timeline.

This here 🧵 discusses Google starting the First Draft Coalition in April 2015. With the June 18, 2015 formal announcement. And only 2 days after Trump announced running.

🔥🔥🔥The first ever major US censorship was not only Google initiated, it is 💯 linked to the CIA and the UK 77th psyop brigade!

First Draft News, was our first major censorship org both in the US and globally. It was started by the CIA funded Google. But just in case you don’t want to take me seriously on the CIA part, here’s more:

Bellingcat was one of the original orgs signed up by Google to run First Draft News. And it’s been 💯 funded by the CIA NED

Bellingcat was also in the intel cutout Integrity Initiative censorship org. Oh and Bellingcat was also in the Zinc Network censorship org.

The CIA founded Google asked Bellingcat to sign up. Never mind that they also asked Meedan who is a major global censor that works with our DHS and in Brazil who is going after Elon.

Most noteworthy is Google, Meedan, Storyful and Bellingcat.

Storyful, another founding org that Google approached, had Alastair Aiken, he founded the UK 77th psyop brigade:

“ALASTAIR AITKEN, of Storyful Intelligence, the News Corp digital intelligence company, he provided advice and insight to senior corporate and financial services leaders on digital networked influence and ESG strategy.

For thirty years he was in the British Army, leaving as a Brigadier having founded and built the internationally renowned 77th Brigade, the first Information Warfare organization in a western country.”

And Alastair Aitken too was a member of the intelligence cutout, Integrity Initiative.

Our censorship was created by intelligence and there’s no way out for these goons.

Now on to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)

“National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has funded groups such as Bellingcat, Index on Censorship, Article 19, Finance Uncovered, and the Thomson Reuters Foundation”

(Reuters is connected to the Zinc Network intelligence cutout via leaks I have previously exposed.)

“Former CIA officer tells Declassified the NED is a vehicle for US government propaganda”

“Allen Weinstein, the director of the research study that led to creation of the NED in the 1980s, remarked in 1991: “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.””

“CIA whistleblower Philip Agee, who served in the agency in the 1960s, commented in 1995: “Nowadays, instead of having just the CIA going around behind the scenes and trying to manipulate the process secretly by inserting money here and instructions there and so forth, they have now a sidekick, which is this National Endowment for Democracy.””

“The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a non-profit corporation funded by the US Congress, has ploughed over £2.6m into seven British independent media groups over the past five years.”

“The NED was “created…to do in the open what the Central Intelligence Agency has done surreptitiously for decades”, the New York Times reported in 1997. That included spending millions of dollars to “support things like political parties, labor unions, dissident movements and the news media in dozens of countries.””

Yeah doom on CIA! Sources to follow!

Before we move on, yeah, Google owns this.

You bring on worldwide censorship and you pay the piper.
Ok, let’s head into no man’s land. How the CIA made Google.

And let me remind you, you can ignore this entire post. Because all my other evidence is that strong.

❗️❗️Breaking! Google just didn’t seed fund First Draft News, the first major US and global censorship org, it CREATED IT! I also have finally gotten the names of the Google employees they used to start the global censorship in 2015. This was in preparation for the 2016 elections. Yup, the same Google that visited the Obama White House 427 times. And the same Google that helped Obama win both his first and second presidencies!

Interestingly, Tim Walz went on to hire one of the two Google individuals, Steve Grove.

All along I thought the First Draft News consortium was started on June 18, 2015, when it was announced by Olivia Ma. But actually contact was made in April 2015.

I’ve been looking for more specifics on First Drafts origins for years, now I have TWO SOURCES. Also Google expanded its support to include its GLOBAL TEAM.

1. First Draft website:

“Most importantly, a final huge thank you to Steve Grove and Olivia Ma at Google News Lab. They got us all in a room in New York in April 2015 and FLOATED THE IDEA of First Draft.  Since then, their support and enthusiasm, now combined with the same from their global team, has been invaluable.

2. Google News Lab on Medium - Steve Grove Director of the News Lab at Google.

“At the center of our efforts around this topic is the First Draft coalition, WHICH WE STARTED in 2015 with seven social media verification organizations to create standards and best practices in the news industry for verifying eyewitness media content and COMBATTING FAKE NEWS.

In 2016, we expanded the coalition to over 80 partners worldwide, and were thrilled to welcome Facebook and Twitter as well.”

Claire Wardle, the director of First Draft, on March 31, 2015, and weeks prior to Googles offer, became the Tow Centers Research Director. She worked with Tow/Knight previously. Google is partnered with the Knight Foundation.

And, it just so happens that Steve Grove and Olivia Ma who started First Draft were frequent visitors to the Obama White House over many years! I even have Steve Grove down for a strategy meeting with Obama less than 3 months before the April 2015 First Draft Consortium inception.

♦️Video #1 - Shows that Steve Grove, the director of Google News Lab, first met Obama at Google while Obama was still a senator.

This also shows the multiple projects from multiple time frames that Steve Grove worked with Obama from 2009 to 2016. He’s all over this video.

This also shows that Steve Grove worked with Obama during the same time that he and Olivia Ma created the First Draft News global censorship org.

♦️Video # 2 - Shows that Olivia Ma accompanied Steve Grove to the White House on at least one occasion in 2010.

These videos may seem boring to you, but to me they are documentation of evidence.

Sources to follow.
Google started what I consider the first major censorship in America, and globally, so this can’t be taken lightly.

The Biden admin has expanded things globally, during the same time that First Draft was shuttered. But First Drafts framework and training, still used today, was already built.

Here’s the evidence that proves that Google was responsible.

1. First Draft News Website:

“Most importantly, a final huge thank you to Steve Grove and Olivia Ma at Google News Lab. They got us all in a room in New York in April 2015 and floated the idea of First Draft.  Since then, their support and enthusiasm, now combined with the same from their global team, has been invaluable.”


2. Steve Grove - Google News Lab Director on their Medium page:

“At the center of our efforts around this topic is the First Draft coalition, which we started in 2015 with seven social media verification organizations to create standards and best practices in the news industry for verifying eyewitness media content and combating fake news.

In 2016, we expanded the coalition to over 80 partners worldwide, and were thrilled to welcome Facebook and Twitter as well.

Any news organization can sign up, and in 2017, we’ll be working with the coalition to engage in more projects like Electionland, our polling place verification initiative.”

Now there are multiple formal announcement of the creation of the First Draft Coalition, but why not share one made by Googles Olivia Ma, one of the actual creators herself?

I’ll also show that Olivia got a promotion to the Google News Lab to join, Steve Grove. Where she grew the First Draft Coalition to become the massively expanded, and now globalized, First Draft News.

1. Olivia Ma, the director of the Google News Initiative, and the creator of the First Draft Coalition:

“We’re bringing together a group of thought leaders and pioneers in social media journalism to create educational resources on how to verify eyewitness media, and how to consider the ethics of using it in news reporting.

This new group, called The First Draft Coalition, will consist of experts from Eyewitness Media Hub, Storyful, Bellingcat, First Look Media's , Meedan, Emergent, SAM Desk, and Verification Junkie. The Coalition will develop and program a new site for verification and ethics training, tools, research, and, most importantly, case studies around the biggest news stories of the moment.”


2. Olivia Ma, Head of Partnerships, the Google News Lab.

“Today, just over a year after its creation, we’re excited to announce the expansion of the First Draft Coalition, with the launch of a new partner network, including major news and technology organizations.

We’re proud to welcome Facebook and Twitter into the network, as well as newsrooms around the world, including:

The New York Times, The Washington Post, BuzzFeed News, CNN, ABC News (Australia), AJ+, ProPublica, Agence France-Presse, Channel 4 News, The Telegraph, France Info, Breaking News, Les Décodeurs, International Business Times UK, Eurovision News Exchange, SAM, Aljazeera Media Network, Reveal project, InVID project, Euronews, Sourcefabric, WITNESS, Amnesty International, European Journalism Centre, American Press Institute, International Fact Checking Network, Duke Reporters’ Lab.”

🔥🔥Today’s breaking report! A 2021 Brazil Tribunal Superior Electoral (TSE) court meeting that exemplifies the intermeshing of the US and Brazil censorship apparatus.

The same exact disinfo racket running in the US are also working with Brazil. Brazil also used US publications from the same groups to write their own 2022 disinfo policies.

This is part two, Brazil, Comprova, Meedan and the Alexandre de Moraes Superior Electoral Court.

In Oct 2021 there was a disinformation meeting on Zoom between the Brazil TSE courts, a few Brazil NGO’s, and US groups.

“The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) holds the International Seminar Disinformation and Elections, with live broadcast on the TSE's YouTube channel. The seminar has experts and representatives from Brazil and abroad from public institutions and civil society entities, as well as media outlets. The goal is to raise ways to prevent or minimize the disclosure of misinfo in the 2022 General Elections.”

So who was all there?

USA:

- First Draft News, Claire Wardle (Google seed funded)
- Digital Forensics Research Lab (DFRLab - Atlantic Council) Luiza Bandeira

- Carnegie endowments Alicia Wainless

- Plus many Brazil NGO’s

Extra note:
🔹The Biden CIA Director, William Burns, was president at Carnegie Endowment until March 2021. This meeting happened Oct 2021.

So which orgs documents did Brazil use to write its 2022 disinfo and misinfo policies?

- USAID (state dept)

Note*
You must also remember, as previously reported by me, that Brazil and its TSE belongs to the US State Dept Open Government Partnership (OGP). It was an original partner with this Obama initiated program. Part of this includes promises of disinformation handling.

Ok now I can get back to Meedan, after showing you that US censorship went global. Sources with print screens to follow.Image
