🔥🔥She’s back! And here we go again with the crazy election interference! Part 1 : Nina Jankowicz joins forces with a lead from Protect Democracy to mobilize just in time to protect the 2024 election from the Russians and disinfo! Along with a team including Benjamin Wittes!
You may have already heard about this, but not Baad Kitty style! Expect to hear a lot more on this!
Co-founder, Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos, oversaw Protect
Democracy's organization-wide communications, media relations, and strategic communications campaign to protect the 2020 election.
Recall that Protect Democracy created the National Task Force on Election Crises linked to the Transition Integrity Project. The National Task Force on Election Crises included multiple Zuckerbucks folks and worse. Nina can thank me later, but thanks to her, you are gonna get the rest of my, “THE STING”, series. What great timing!
Another staffer, Katie Harbath was a board chair of the Integrity Institute and a chief executive at Anchor Change. At the Integrity Institute, she worked alongside Hallie Stern of the CTIL Files Disarm Fndn that works our DHS.
Warning warning Will Robinson:
“Katie Harbath is a global leader at the intersection of elections, democracy, and technology. As the chief executive of Anchor Change, she helps clients think through tech policy issues. She is the director of technology and democracy for the International Republican Institute and is also a fellow at the “Bipartisan” Policy Center, the Integrity Institute and a nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council.”
“Katie was involved in this work in major elections for EVERY COUNTRY WORLDWIDE, including the United States, India, Brazil, United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, Philippines, and Mexico.”
Ay, caramba!
Integrity Institute is a project of Community Partners. A social justice org with 180 orgs under sponsorship. And over $80 million annual revenue under management.
Another Sunlight staffer, Emily Horne is a former Twitter employee and a senior advisor to WestExec Advisors. Ouch!
Also recall that the Biden team announced building a huge 2024 election ‘Superstructure’ to Stop Trump From “Stealing” the Election with war games and all! This seems similar to 2020.
And American Sunlight hangs out with our favorite online ELVES, the Lincoln Project and MeidasTouch. (I better get back to my Elves exposure.)
American Sunlight claims that Russia stole the 2016 election, disinformation is rampant, and the “extremist right” has a crazy conspiracy about government censorship.
“Contrary to popular belief, Moscow did not only work to swing the 2016 election, and it didn’t only support President Trump. It amplified divisions in our society because those divisions made America weaker.”
“The United States has done little to improve the health of our information environment. This inaction has left our nation exposed ahead of the 2024 election. And there is a coordinated effort ongoing to keep it that way.”
“Since April 2022, extremists have been running a campaign to undermine critical disinformation research ahead of the 2024 election and beyond.”
“Encompassing elected officials, conservative media, attorneys, paid-for ‘journalists,’ and online influencers, the campaign has falsely claimed the Federal Government is overseeing a vast censorship regime in coordination with social media platforms, academic institutions, and civil society organizations.”
This sounds to me like they want to stop Russia from stealing the election for Trump again by stopping right wing disinfo. 😹 And they call us conspiracists?
Sources to follow, welcome back Nina!

Since there are bigger fish to fry than what I mentioned up above, let’s get these sources over with.
Team Members of the American Sunlight Project:
- Nina Jankowicz
- Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos
- Katie Harbath
- Emily Horne
- Ineke Mushovic
- Benjamin Wittes
And here’s why Nina and Carlos started the American Sunlight Project.
“Nina fell into the study of disinformation because our nation faced an exigent threat: Russia, which had been using influence operations for decades, had perfected online information operations in Central and Eastern Europe, and was training its new tools on the United States. We all know what came next. Russia interfered in our democracy. Contrary to popular belief, Moscow did not only work to swing the 2016 election, and it didn’t only support President Trump. It amplified divisions in our society because those divisions made America weaker.
Today, those divisions are wider than ever, and despite a mountain of evidence of the harm online disinformation causes in the real world, the United States has done little to improve the health of our information environment. This inaction has left our nation exposed ahead of the 2024 election. And there is a coordinated effort ongoing to keep it that way.
Since April 2022, extremists have been running a campaign to undermine critical disinformation research ahead of the 2024 election and beyond. Encompassing elected officials, conservative media, attorneys, paid-for ‘journalists,’ and online influencers, the campaign has falsely claimed the Federal Government is overseeing a vast censorship regime in coordination with social media platforms, academic institutions, and civil society organizations. It has relied on widespread smears against individual researchers and government employees, which have led to online and offline threats against them and their families, and a chilling effect across the research community.
We believe this campaign represents the greatest threat to freedom of expression and academic integrity since the McCarthy Era. The researchers are the canaries in the coal mine, and those canaries are getting snuffed out. Meanwhile, more foreign adversaries are engaging in information warfare. Artificial intelligence is supercharging disinformation, making it easy for anyone after power or profit to create increasingly realistic fake images, audio, video, or generate targeted text-based disinformation at scale. Without a shared set of facts and a trusted public square, democracy can’t function.”

And here’s Katie Harbath with CIA NED, Dean Jackson. He was at the first Misinfocon ever where Credibility Coalition was created (CTIL Files). And he started Project Candelebra there too.
Dean Jackson was on the Jan 6 commission.

Nina is still acting spooky. 👻
Nina is still hanging out with Ukrainians and seedy Integrity Initiative networks.
This Ukrainian liked her post on LinkedIn about the American Sunlight Project. He used to work at Zinc Network and is now at the Center For Information Resilience (CIR).
Adam Rutland from multiple Integrity initiative leaks is a co-founder of the Center For Information Resilience. (I smudged the email addresses.)
Then you go to Nina’s American Sunlight Project on LinkedIn and at the bottom it says similar pages are the Center For Information Resilience etc. I guess she still works there.
This was just a minor mid research observation. But do we really want Miss Ukraine, Disinfo Portal, Integrity Initiative, NDI, CIR and Zinc Network back?ua.linkedin.com/in/alexandrats…
