/1🚨CENSORSHIP SCANDAL EXPOSED — We just unearthed evidence that Biden’s DHS and State Dept. mobilized federal counterterrorism assets to support a foreign-based organization censoring American speech: the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
THREAD:
/2 From the day it took power, the Biden Administration mobilized the national security state to support its censorship program. On June 15, 2021, Biden’s National Security Council published its first-ever National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.
/3 To justify censorship, Biden’s strategy asserted that “Internet-based communications platforms” make Americans “vulnerab[le] to domestic terrorist recruitment and other harmful content.”
/4 Effectively, the Biden Administration turned to the national security state and its allied technology companies to censor political opponents.
/5 In Orwellian fashion, it said: “All told, a better, more holistic, and coordinated understanding of and information sharing on today’s threat will allow a more effective and comprehensive response. That response will address not just current and imminent incarnations of the domestic terrorism threat but also its contributing factors before they can generate still more violence in the future.”
/6 As the Biden Strategy explained, as part of its effort to control information, “We will also build a community” of “critical partners,” including “state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as foreign allies and partners, civil society, the technology sector, academia, and more.”
/7 These “interlocking communities that can contribute information, expertise, analysis, and more” and “With the right orientation and partnerships, the Federal Government can energize, connect, and empower those communities - communities whose input was critical to the formulation of this Strategy itself.”
/8 Accordingly, it declared that “in a global, multi-stakeholder setting - with partner governments - the United States endorses the Christchurch Call to Action to Eliminate Terrorist and Violent Extremist Content Online.”
/9 In 2019, the Trump Administration had refused this “call to action” on free speech grounds.
In fact, on the same day that the Trump Administration announced that it was passing on this international initiative censorship initiative, it reportedly released an online tool for users to report if they suspect they’ve been the subject of “political bias” by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, or other online platforms.
/10 Biden’s government claimed that “Maximizing the Federal Government’s understanding of [domestic terrorism] means supporting and making appropriate use of the analysis performed by entities outside the government…”
CCDH was one such entity.
/11 CCDH is a United Kingdom-based nonprofit that has been encouraging censorship online for years.
It originates from and is staffed with many individuals in the United Kingdom. However, it has been incorporated in the United States and registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States, effective December 11, 2020.
/12 CCDH describes itself as a “not-for-profit non-governmental organization” that “works to stop the spread of online hate and disinformation through innovative research, public campaigns and policy advocacy.”
/13 It describes its founder and CEO, Imran Ahmed, as an “authority on social and psychological malignancies on social media, such as identity-based hate, extremism, disinformation, and conspiracy theories.”
/14 However, Ahmed is a leftist political operative connected to the UK Labour Party. Through his work with Stop Funding Fake News (SFFN), which was later folded into CCDH, Imran Ahmed took credit for a so-called “defund racism” campaign associated with Black Lives Matter to force Google to remove their ads from The Federalist and ZeroHedge.
/15 CCDH is best known for its March 24, 2021 report “THE DISINFORMATION DOZEN: Why platforms must act on twelve leading online anti-vaxxers” which branded 12 Americans, including @RobertKennedyJr, “anti-vaxxers…responsible for almost two-thirds of anti-vaccine content circulating on social media platforms,” and called for them to be deplatformed.
@RobertKennedyJr /16 As the Missouri v. Biden case revealed, Biden White House officials quickly pressured social media companies to deplatform and demote “the disinfo dozen.”
/17 On July 15, 2021, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted to “flagging problematic posts for Facebook.”
Presumably citing CCDH’s report, Psaki also implied that the “12 people who are producing 65 percent of anti-vaccine misinformation [should not] remain active on Facebook.”
@RobertKennedyJr /18 Read the email below…
@RobertKennedyJr /19 On or around March 29, 2022, Robert Silvers — the DHS Under Secretary for Strategy, Policy, and Plans who co-chaired the short-lived Disinformation Governance Board with Nina Jankowicz — connected with CCDH’s then-Head of Policy, Eva Hartshorn-Sanders, via LinkedIn.
/20 On March 29, 2022, Eva Hartshorn-Sanders emailed Robert Silvers “to meet to discuss research that [CCDH] released and coming up in the next couple of weeks, and ... to hear about work that [DHS] ha[s] underway, including more about the strategies and plans that [the DHS] team have developed.”
Eva also invited Robert to CCDH’s Global Summit and Changemakers Dinner.
@RobertKennedyJr /21 In addition to her lead policy role at CCDH, Eva Hartshorn-Sanders separately provides “[l]eading Government advice on the response to the March 15 terrorist attacks on Christchurch mosques.”
/22 Eva Hartshorn-Sanders promoted online censorship legislation around the world, including the UK’s Online Safety Bill, testifying before the House of Commons that “websites like The Gateway Pundit profit from Google ads to the tune of over $1 million while spreading election disinformation. That has led to real-world death threats sent to election officials and contributed to the events of 6 January. It is not something we want to see replicated in the UK.”
Eva Hartshorn-Sanders also opposed a principle “that is framed negatively about preventing platforms from removing content, rather than positively about addressing content that undermines elections.”
@RobertKennedyJr /23 Robert Silvers quickly replied, “I am copying our Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism, Lucian Sikorskyj, to follow up and pursue these opportunities.”
@RobertKennedyJr /24 The next day, on March 30, 2022, Eva Hartshorn-Sanders also invited the DHS Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism to CCDH’s Global Summit and Changemakers Dinner, and they began scheduling for a call “in the next few weeks.”
@RobertKennedyJr /25 By June 16, 2022, a White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse was established under the leadership of the Director of the White House Gender Policy Council and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.
@RobertKennedyJr /26 By September 23, 2022, CCDH was directly meeting with officials from the White House, the NSC, and the Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT), updating them with CCDH’s latest findings.
@RobertKennedyJr /27 On September 30, 2022, CCDH formally submitted its research and policy recommendations on technology-facilitated gender-based violence to the White House Task Force.
/28 Its submission highlighted how CCDH “studied the way anti-vaccine extremists, hate actors, climate change deniers, and misogynists weaponize platforms to spread lies and attack marginalized groups,” and developed policy and legislation to “ensure that social media platforms meet [CCDH’s framework] for addressing digital hate and disinformation, embedding Safety by Design, Transparency requirements (on algorithms, rules enforcement and economics), Accountability and Responsibility.”
/29 On March 3, 2023, the White House published its Initial Blueprint for the White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse.
The Blueprint highlighted federal research funding, “Digital Equity” grants, Department of Education guidance to be issued to colleges, and an FTC enforcement action against a gaming platform.
@RobertKennedyJr /30 According to Eva Hartshorn-Sanders, CCDH was “able to feed in research and policy recommendations for its development.”
🚨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”…🧵
/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.
/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.”
/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.
/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.
/3 Cracker Barrel promises to “attract, select, develop, and retain high-performing talent with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.”
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.”
/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.
🚨 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. 🧵
/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!
/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.
/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.
/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.”
/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.
/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...🧵
/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.
/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. 🤡
