New docs from the Brennan-Clapper intel committee reveal the group pushed DHS to adopt covert influence campaigns and use “trusted messengers” to get the “American people to feel” a certain way about issues.
#DeepStateDiaries PART 6:
/2 Today, we are releasing the sixth tranche of internal files from the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” obtained exclusively through our litigation with @RichardGrenell against the Biden DHS:
/3 Today’s installment highlights how the Group led by John Brennan and James Clapper advocated for using DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis to adopt covert messaging and influence campaigns targeted at the American public.
/4 In a previous installment of #DeepStateDiaries, documents exposed that the Group thought that “quietly making democracy work” was the solution to crushing political dissent...
/5 Today’s installment picks up on that same conversation and shows how the Group discussed manipulating messages and using “trusted messengers” to “get the American people to feel” a certain way about issues.
/6 During the Group’s September 2023 Meeting, the group discussed the best way to get people to accept their partisan message that the threat of domestic extremism only comes from Trump supporters.
Moreover, the group discussed redefining political dissent as a “public health” crisis. At first, the Group wanted this messaging to come from the White House:
/7 In a telling admission, made nearly a year ago, one participant acknowledged President Biden’s decline stating “The President seems an ineffective messenger, particularly with who his opponent is” and asks “who could be a good messenger?”
/8 Another group member, likely from DHS, then noted that Secretary Mayorkas had been doing his part in working with elected and other political officials. “The other guy [Trump] has been forceful. S1 [Mayorkas] has rallied across the government on this.”
/9 This participant suggested that DHS “quietly talk to people” and work with people on “both sides of the political aisle” to try to “arm them with the right information.”
/10 In addition to deputizing political leaders, the group looked to “crisis communications” by the private sector as an example and asked who else might make effective surrogates for their message.
They noted that they needed “other digital channels for influence” and that DHS needed to use other groups for its social media outreach to push its message efficiently.
/11 One participant suggested trying to get the National Sheriffs Association or border sheriffs to carry their message to people who do not agree with them.
/12 Another suggested that it be state and local leaders since there is a “mistrust at the national level.”
/13 Another suggested that DHS work with the hosts of the “All In” podcast because “all Republican candidates” had appeared on that show. And, if they could get a couple of the hosts “to support what you are saying, people listen to them.”
/14 In summary, the Brennan-Clapper-led DHS intel group had a full-length discussion about manipulating the optics of their political messaging to the American public. They suggested various ways to use the government to launder their political messaging through other channels, including co-opting political leaders, social media companies, and media outlets they perceive to be trusted by their political opponents.
/15 Their message is that all domestic violent extremism comes from Trump supporters and, therefore, such speech should be censored on a public health basis or treated as a public health crisis.
/16 Stay tuned for the next installment of #DeepStateDiaries…
/1🚨PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN — America First Legal just released a template letter that parents can use to opt out of radical classroom instruction and woke school policies.
/2 AFL’s letter enables parents to exercise their rights after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor.
The Court held that a school district violated parents’ rights by failing to provide notice and an opportunity to opt out before exposing children to radical LGBTQ storybooks.
/3 AFL’s letter also helps parents exercise their rights under the PPRA — a federal law that requires schools to give parents notice and an opportunity to inspect classroom materials.
/1🔎NEW — AFL has expanded its investigation into the City of Portland and the Portland Police Bureau.
We’re examining the bureau’s involvement with anti-ICE groups and Antifa — and whether it let radical demonstrators disrupt ICE operations, assault reporters, or shield Antifa.
/2 AFL has requested records to uncover how Portland officials may have enabled lawlessness — including by assisting anti-ICE groups in acquiring office space.
/3 This expands AFL’s ongoing investigation into the City of Portland, which previously uncovered its explicit inclusion of race as a central component of the city’s policing practices to achieve “equitable outcomes.”
/1🚨EXPOSED — New documents reveal that after Hamas terrorists’ October 7 attack, Biden’s DOJ DOWNPLAYED the surge in antisemitism across America — while giving the SPLC an OPEN LINE to steer federal civil-rights policy away from policing antisemitic violence.
/2 BEFORE OCTOBER 7, 2023:
Combating antisemitic violence was on DOJ’s agenda.
In December 2022, it was listed on the event memo for the Deputy Attorney General’s “Quarterly Civil Rights Organization Meeting,” lumped in with “Anti-LGBTQ+ Violence.”
/3 The agenda for the 2022 meeting included addressing “White Supremacy in Law Enforcement,” in addition to “Anti-LGBTQ+ Hate” and the SPLC’s perspective on hate crimes data.
/1🚨BREAKING — Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis didn’t dismantle its illegal “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” regime.Â
Instead, they hid their DEI office on a restricted floor.
America First Legal found it.
🧵….
/2 The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, once on the 1st floor of the North Medical Building — open and visible to the public — has been moved to the 12th floor of the Mid Campus Center, a restricted-access floor omitted from the university’s official floor plan.
/3 An office built on “equity and inclusion” now operates behind locked doors, inaccessible to the public, the students, and the community it claims to represent.
We’d ask what WashU is hiding — but we already know.
/1🚨HUGE — The University of Virginia has agreed to DISMANTLE its illegal DEI infrastructure following a months-long federal civil rights investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and a federal civil rights complaint from America First Legal.
/2 The agreement requires UVA to end race-, sex-, and identity-based discrimination across its operations, report compliance data through 2028, and certify in writing quarterly that every department is in full compliance with federal civil rights laws.
/3 This action follows AFL’s extensive investigation and subsequent federal civil rights complaint calling for enforcement against UVA’s discriminatory practices.
AFL exposed UVA’s unlawful attempts to preserve and rebrand DEI under euphemisms, proving the university’s so-called “reforms” were cosmetic.
Texas just discovered THOUSANDS of potential noncitizens on its voter rolls and launched a statewide verification process to remove ineligible voters.
This is exactly what AFL’s Election Integrity Action Plan urged states to do last year.
🧵👇
/2 Last year, AFL sent an Election Integrity Action Plan to all 50 states — a roadmap explaining how to use existing federal law to verify citizenship.
Under 8 U.S.C. §§ 1373 and 1644, states can work with the Department of Homeland Security to confirm a voter’s citizenship.
/3 Using tools outlined in AFL’s Election Integrity Action Plan, Texas cross-checked state voter data against federal immigration records — and found over 2,700 potential noncitizens registered to vote.
