/1🚨LITIGATION BOMBSHELL — we sued the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the censorship arm of DHS.

Our lawsuit unearthed new docs showing that the deep state knew the risks of mass mail voting in 2020 but censored these criticisms as “disinformation.”

THREAD: Image
/2 By September 2020, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) was aware that the evidence established that in-person voting did not increase the spread of COVID-19.

CISA was also aware that mass “vote-by-mail” schemes posed “major challenges,” including “the process of mailing and returning ballots,” the “high numbers of improperly completed ballots (figures not yet released),” and “the shortage of personnel to process ballots in a prompt manner.”Image
/3 Despite its awareness of mail-in voting risks, absentee voting challenges, and the harmlessness of in-person voting, CISA continued supporting the unprecedented voting policy changes implemented across the states in 2020. Image
/4 By October 2020, CISA had created a chart specifying six significant fraud risks presented by mail-in voting:

1. Implementation of mail-in voting infrastructure and processes within a compressed timeline may also introduce new risk.”
2. “For mail-in voting, some of the risk under the control of election officials during in-person voting shifts to outside entities, such as ballot printers, mail processing facilities, and the United States Postal Service.”
3 “Integrity attacks on voter registration data and systems represent a comparatively higher risk in a mail-in voting environment when compared to an in-person voting environment.”
4. “The outbound and inbound processing of mail-in ballots introduces additional infrastructure and technology, increasing potential scalability of cyber attacks.”
5. “Inbound mail-in ballot processes and tabulation take longer than in-person processing, causing tabulation of results to occur more slowly and resulting in more ballots to tabulate following election night.”
6. “Disinformation risk to mail-in voting infrastructure and processes is similar to that of in-person voting while utilizing different content. Threat actors may leverage limited understanding regarding mail-in voting processes to mislead and confuse the public.”Image
/5 While CISA saw the “Implementation of mail-in voting” in “a compressed timeline” as a top risk, it was also aware that last-minute “Mail-in Voting 2020 Policy Changes” were being implemented across the states. Image
/6 CISA shared these findings in an “unclassified media tour” on the Friday before Election Tuesday.
Image
Image
/7 Yet, The Washington Post and other similar outlets covered up the evidence and focused on CISA’s “independence from Trump” and CISA Director Chris Kreb’s “statements about the security of mail-in ballots” that “directly contradict” Trump.
Image
Image
/8 Of all the risks it identified, CISA appeared to focus by far the most on monitoring and censoring the mail-in voting risk “narrative.”

Keep reading…
/9 CISA apparently contracted Deloitte to report on “Daily Social Media Trends” relating to the U.S. Election — including narratives relating to “Vote-By-Mail” — and to flag specific social media posts for CISA’s awareness and attention.
/10 For example, Deloitte reported to CISA that:

1) Twitter flagged President Trump’s post that there are “big problems and discrepancies with Mail-in Ballots.” Image
/11 2) “A conservative online activist claimed that Twitter is censoring his tweets about voter fraud to help the Democratic presidential nominee.”
/12 3) President Trump “retweeted a political pundit who accused a Democratic Congressional candidate of ‘election fraud’ after thousands of ballots were mistakenly sent to his district.”
/13 4) “The Governor of Texas quoted an article from a local news outlet on the state’s recent history of voter fraud convictions and claimed that it reveals “Mail ballot vote fraud in Texas.”
/14 5) “A conservative pundit accused Twitter of ‘SUPPRESSING’ a story about the Democratic presidential nominee’s son to help the nominee win the election.”
/15 and 6) “A conservative online activist accused Twitter of censoring her posts about voter fraud she is ‘witnessing here in Nevada,’ and expressed her frustration with Twitter’s disclaimers stating that mail-in ballots are secure.”
/16 See Deloitte’s “Elections Daily Digest” from October 27, 2020, which include examples as listed above.

Image
Image
Image
/17 Even more examples here from the day prior (October 26, 2020):

Image
Image
Image
/18 Deloitte’s reports provided CISA with confirmation that its social media monitoring and censorship apparatus was working.

In Missouri v. Biden, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found that “the platforms’ censorship decisions were made under policies that CISA has pressured them into adopting and based on CISA’s determination of the veracity of the flagged information.”Image
/19 CISA formed the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) to censor Americans’ speech, as @JudiciaryGOP and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government @Weaponization has found.

Director Krebs testified to Congress that “narratives are narratives,” so CISA didn’t differentiate between domestic and foreign activity on social media.Image
@JudiciaryGOP @Weaponization /20 According to congressional investigators, CISA targeted entire “narratives” for censorship. Image
/21 In the EIP’s report touting the scope of its efforts, the EIP found that “[i]n the lead-up to the 2020 election, misinformation centered on mail-in voting.” Accordingly, EIP collaborators—including CISA—submitted “tickets” to flag social media posts relating to mail-in voting.

More on this “ticketing” process from @MikeBenzCyber below:Image
/21 More critical explanation from @MikeBenzCyber on how these “tickets” were implemented:
/22 The evidence is that:
🚨CISA knew that in-person voting did not increase the spread of COVID.
🚨CISA knew mail-in voting was less secure.
🚨CISA nevertheless supported policy changes to encourage unprecedented widespread mail-in voting.
🚨CISA formed the EIP to censor narratives relating to mail-in voting.
🚨CISA broadly monitored social media to detect unapproved “narratives” relating to mail-in voting and to confirm that platforms were adequately censoring them.
@MikeBenzCyber /23 CISA, and its media allies, interfered with and undermined the integrity of the 2020 Presidential election.
@MikeBenzCyber /24 This evidence has been obtained through AFL’s ongoing lawsuit against CISA to expose the activities of CISA’s Mis-, Dis-, and Mal-information (MDM) team leading up to the 2020 election. aflegal.org/afl-sues-two-f…
/25 AFL has previously exposed CISA’s partnerships with private sector tech companies to “pre-bunk,” “fact-check,” and remove speech and flag accounts, CISA’s use of the self-deleting messaging app “Signal” for “official” business, and CISA’s October 2020 false characterization of the Hunter Biden laptop story as a “QAnon Conspiracy Theory” linked to the 2016 “Pizzagate conspiracy.”

@MikeBenzCyber /27 AFL will keep fighting to expose the truth about 2020 election interference by CISA and other Deep State actors to protect our citizens’ rights and fortify our election integrity.

🚨EXPOSED — The NIH ended 4,400 Biden-era grants that injected race, gender ideology, and activism into taxpayer-funded science.

Now the Left is SUING to bring them back — calling it “discrimination” to end them.

Part 2 of “woke grants you didn’t know you were funding”…🧵 Image
/2 The Left is fighting to reinstate a $17.1 million NIH grant to Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine to implement illegal, race-based discrimination in academic medicine.

The school admits to embedding “inclusive excellence” (a euphemism for DEI) throughout its institutions — with a task force to “address racism,” recruitment pipelines for Black and Latino faculty, mandatory “bias training,” an Office for Gender Equity, an Institute for Health Equity Research, and a Center for Scientific Diversity.

There’s nothing “inclusive” about forcing Americans to fund discrimination that excludes certain racial groups.Image
/3 Biden’s HHS gave $24 million to Northwestern University for an HIV study on “young men who have sex with men” in Chicago — tracking sexual behavior, drug use, and “minority stressors.”

Launched in 2014 under Obama.
Renewed under Biden.
Terminated under President Trump.

Now the Left is suing to bring back the NIH’s version of California’s “train to nowhere.”Image

/1🚨CRACKER BARREL SERVING UP ILLEGAL DISCRIMINATION —

AFL just filed civil rights complaints calling for federal and state investigations into Cracker Barrel for unlawful discrimination based on race and sex in hiring and employment. Image
/2 Cracker Barrel rebranded its DEI website from “Diversity and Inclusion” to “Culture and Inclusion” — but continues to promote apparently unlawful practices.

The company offers employment benefits based on race or sex. Image
/3 Cracker Barrel promises to “attract, select, develop, and retain high-performing talent with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.” Image

🚨SMOKING GUN🚨

AFL has obtained new documents CONCLUSIVELY PROVING that AG Merrick Garland’s infamous Oct. 4 memo labeling concerned parents at school board meetings “domestic terrorists” was POLITICALLY ORCHESTRATED and DRIVEN by the Biden White House.

“WH has been in touch.” Image
/2 These new documents expose the Biden White House’s involvement in AG Garland’s memo targeting parents — and reveal that career lawyers at DOJ warned that there was no federal authority or legal basis to target these parents in the first place because their speech is protected by the First Amendment.
/3 The documents show that after receiving the National School Board Association (NSBA) memo, which called on DOJ to use the Patriot Act to prevent parents from objecting to mask mandates in schools and Critical Race Theory in the curriculum, DOJ’s political leadership worked to identify anything — any authority — they could use to bring the full weight of the Justice Department down on parents.Image

🚨 BREAKING: NPR’s GOVERNMENT-FUNDED DEI policies EXPOSED!

The Senate just voted to cut funding for NPR. Why should you care?

Among other things:

NPR admits to tracking the race of its employees and, incredibly, its SOURCES used to give you the ‘news.’

Your tax dollars are hard at work pushing an agenda, not reporting the news. 🧵Image
/2 Focused on “inclusive storytelling” (instead of “accurate reporting”), NPR tracks the demographics of its news sources in order to achieve its “newsroom mission” “to look and sound like America.”

THEY ARE RACIALLY BALANCING THEIR NEWS SOURCES! Image
/3 Translation: NPR is basing which stories it covers, runs, and airs on the basis of skin color and sex of the sources of their stories. But don’t just take our word for it. They openly admit it.

This News Source Tracking initiative appears to have resulted in a 16% drop in the number of white news sources since 2013 while black sources have been the primary beneficiary.Image

/1🚨🗳 BREAKING — AFL just filed a formal petition with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

No more “honor system.”

No more loopholes.

Only U.S. citizens voting in U.S. elections. Image
/2 Federal law requires all states to use a single form for voter registration for federal elections.

This form, which the EAC is responsible for maintaining and amending, is required to collect the information necessary to “assess the eligibility of the applicant.” Image
/3 But the federal voter registration form doesn’t actually require any proof of citizenship…

It only requires applicants to check a box saying they are a U.S. citizen.

And it doesn’t require any verification that applicants are telling the truth. Image

/1🚨EXPOSED — The Left is suing to reinstate Biden’s DEI grants, calling it “discrimination” to stop funding race-based woke research.

But here’s what NIH really terminated:

A pipeline of radical, discriminatory junk science.

We read all 4,400 grants. Here’s what we found...🧵 Image
/2 Biden’s HHS awarded $740,000 to NYU for a project titled ADEPT: Assessing Diversity Effects Post Affirmative Action Restrictions in Medical Schools.

The purpose? To study how medical schools can adapt admissions and preserve racial preferences after the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions.

The goal? To preserve race-based admissions pipelines using “equity and inclusion” as a cover.

This isn’t research.

It’s taxpayer-funded resistance to the Supreme Court.Image
/3 Biden’s HHS also awarded $2.1 million to Emory University to study meth use among black, gay, bisexual “men who have sex with men.”

The goal of the project? To “generate knowledge” to ameliorate “meth-related harms among black GBMSM.”

Apparently, “structural racism,” a “discriminatory LGBT climate,” and “health inequities” are to blame for drug abuse now.

And yes, there’s a lawsuit demanding we reinstate this. 🤡Image
