2. Super short story version on @joerogan of how this plot set in motion above, "Say something about a critical infrastructure threat to elections to feel menace," from today's classified annex, snowballed into the Disinformation Governance Control to control social media speech
@joerogan 3. Note, for example, how DHS — who mass censored virtually the entire Trump movement during the 2020 election — got away with censoring by citing power to “protect critical infrastructure” of elections from “misinformation”, self-aware they bumped up against the First Amendment
@joerogan 4. DHS’s social media censorship council, led by its outside censorship partners Vijaya Gadde (head of censorship at Twitter 1.0) and Kate Starbird, was named the “Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Misinformation & Disinformation” council for this same scam legal reason
5. IF YOU WERE CENSORED IN 2020 FOR QUESTIONING MAIL-IN BALLOTS OR VOTING MACHINES, THIS CLASSIFIED ANNEX TODAY IS WHY. Here's a medium-length primer on how US government used this unbelievably deceitful false predicate of "critical infrastructure" to censor MILLIONS in the 2020 election. We now know, that all was part of an explicit plan, classified since July 2016 plan but known to the CIA and FBI this whole time, to "Say something about a critical infrastructure threat to elections to feel menace" while "the evidence" for any actual threat to elections was "regrettably still unavailable." (the CIA and FBI would then make up that evidence 5 months later, using the bullshit made-up discredited Steele Dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign itself) x.com/TuckerCarlson/…
6. On January 6 2017, two weeks before Trump took office, two last-ditch ops were launched at once: (1) the Obama intelligence community launched Russiagate with a formal (utter bullshit) report claiming Russia interfered in the election (2) DHS took federal control over elections, by designating the metaphysical concept of "elections" as "critical infrastructure" under its own domain. All 50 states opposed DHS doing this. But the outgoing Obama federal government steamrolled all 50 states anyway.
7. It is no coincidence both the cooked crooked intelligence community report launching Russiagate and the DHS federal takeover of elections as "critical infrastructure" (citing the same-day Russiagate intelligence assessment) BOTH happened on January 6, 2017. That was the SAME day Democrats' hail mary last-ditch plot to stop Trump's election certification failed, and Trump's win was certified. With no options left to stop Trump's presidency, they didn't even wait a day to launch what appeared to be their Plan B: if Trump can't be stopped from becoming President, immediately hobble his presidency that same day the presidency was inevitable.
8. And in fact, that is exactly the time sequence of how it played out on January 6, 2017. First, at 1:41pm, Congress certified Trump’s election win. Then, with Trump’s win now final and no hope left for the intelligence community to obstruct it, then suddenly, magically, the entire joint US intelligence community assessment drops just 4 hours later, with a report directly insinuating Trump’s win was illegitimate because Russia intervened to help Trump win. Then, suddenly, magically, DHS just 30 minutes after that swoops in with a permanent unilateral federal designation that it has taken over state-level control of voting systems — which we’d had in this country for 230 years — citing the intelligence community’s bullshit new report, which ODNI and CIA clearly held back until the very moment Trump was certified President so his very first hours begin with him immediately tarred as illegitimate and possibly criminal.
@joerogan 9. Once "elections" were "critical infrastructure," then any "misinformation" about elections, or posted during election season, could be classified as a cyber attack against "critical infrastructure," giving DHS a "cybersecurity" predicate to censor you
@joerogan 10. The result was a government license to totally and utterly censor any public questions on social media about mail-in ballots or electronic voting machines, 5 months before 2020 election day. DHS set up an censorship consortium called EIP to do this
@joerogan 11. 100% of the "repeat misinformation spreaders" DHS moved to censor during the 2020 election cycle were pro-Trump. They even openly referred to Trump as "The Death Star Of Disinformation" while they were in charge of DHS's disinformation flagging team.
@joerogan 12. It was trick after trick after trick. The "critical infrastructure" trick gave DHS control over elections. Then, the "delegitimization" trick let DHS say any posts casting doubt on mail-in ballots or voting machines attacked "critical infrastructure"
@joerogan 13. Once they got away with censoring the 2020 election, 2021-2022 they went wild. They called public health "critical infrastructure" so any posts that questioned government policy on Covid-19, or vaccines, was now "an attack on critical infrastructure"
@joerogan 14. By mid-2021, everything had become "critical infrastructure," so government could censor anything. Our financial system was "critical infrastructure," so there goes questioning banks. Our climate was, so there goes questioning climate change. Ukraine, immigration, the works.

What Blob Ops To Control Elections In Moldova Teach Us About Blob Ops To Control Elections Here -- Video thread from my sub stream on USAID in Moldova🧵
When NATO hires TikTok influencers to promote the pro-EU puppets in Moldova or Romania, that's kosher. If Russians simply have TikTok accounts and criticize pro-EU puppets in Moldova or Romania, the entire election has to be canceled unless the pro-EU party wins.
Every time you hear the word "integration," replace that word in your head with "digestion." So when someone says "EU integration," think "EU digestion." A country is being eaten alive, digested, and only a husk of its old self will remain, to be pooped out at the end.
This is the day I’ve warned the Trump Admin every day for 7 years would come, since 2018’s EU Disinfo Code, to 2019 when the DSA was floated in concept, to 2020 when it became a formal draft EU law while I was at State, to its 2022 adoption, to its 2025 mandatory Disinfo Code. 🧵
I keep telling you exactly what to do and exactly what bad things will happen next if you think you can ignore this and not do anything, and each thing I keep saying will happen next literally keeps happening next and happening exactly as I told you it would if you didn’t act
How could anyone in the admin be surprised the EU censorship law would fine/extort X ??? That’s WHY they made the law, whose enforcement teeth JUST kicked in this summer! This is like letting a flesh-eating cannibal sleep on your chest then being surprised it bit your heart
BREAKING 🚨 The US State Department has just placed all 30 full-time staff at the Global Engagement Center’s remnant known as R-FIMI on leave, eliminated all 50 full-time staff positions and delivered a notice to Congress ending R-FIMI’s existence and $65 million in funding 🧵👇
This historic development today was made possible by @SecRubio and Acting Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy @DarrenJBeattie, as part of a complete restructuring of the State Department’s activities and capacities to prevent the abuses and weaponization of the past.
@SecRubio @DarrenJBeattie The development today is the State Department’s initiation of a RIF (Reduction In Force) that will permanently end the positions at GEC / R-FIMI, so there is no more reshuffling of positions or simple renamings of the office to carry out the same malign censorship efforts.
Bad Kitty has published a very important series here, with a lot of details that I think need to be cleanly organized and sense-made for a wider audience so what she’s uncovered really hits home. I’ll be going over these on tonight’s sub stream at 10pm ET
2/ Remittances are when a migrant or refugee has money or makes money here in the US, and then sends money back to friends and relatives in their home country.
So, for example, Ukraine refugees who flee then have their lives paid for here by aid programs will send cash back home
3/ And indeed, this is one of the main reasons we import masses of refugees from conflict zones or war zones as part of a Pentagon effort to fund one side of a war or paramilitary struggle. The refugees’ network back home is one we want to financially capacity-build
If it weren’t for USAID’s censorship funding and NED’s censorship operational network, there would still be a free Internet in Brazil. And Jair Bolsonaro would still be its rightfully elected President.
