I'll add beyond the Epstein CIA Files we also need the Epstein State Department Files. One of the big mysteries of the Epstein 1990s is how in the flying hell he had the US Department of State as his personal landlord. State *at the very least* has files from then we should see. Image 2. The formal Epstein - State Dept relationship under the Clinton admin is gobsmacking for many reasons. First, Epstein visited the Clinton White House at least 17 times, so seemed to have a direct advisory, consultation or possibly a logistics coordination role in US statecraft Image

Trump State Dept must IMMEDIATELY review all recs & comms btwn (1) Biden’s State Dept, esp US Amb to France & Embassy, & (2) all French Ministry of Justice & Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacts, for FULL INTERNAL AUDIT of coordination on disinformation & platform governance work 2. And the same internal audit MUST be done vis a vis Biden State Dept & Spain. I am telling you, this exercise, combined with publication of the results of this audit, is an ABSOLUTE MUST.

A couple interesting notes on the reveal that Obama’s White House Counsel (top lawyer to the President) Kathy Ruemmler emailed Jeffrey Epstein she was awarded the CIA Agency Medal just hours after getting the award 🧵 Image 2) When I saw this, I wondered why I’d never heard this before. Her CIA Agency Award in 2015 was not and still has never been reported by any press outlet whatsoever, not even a fringe one. It’s not in her Wikipedia. It’s not in her extensive current Goldman Sachs bio.

In 1999, Jeffrey Epstein anonymously FOIA'd the CIA to obtain all CIA records "that might reflect an open or otherwise acknowledged Agency affiliation" between himself and the CIA. In 2011, he wrote again to see if CIA had acknowledged any links with him in the 12 years since 🧵 Image 2) By using a lawyer to go through the Privacy Act, this ensured the public couldn't know Jeffrey Epstein was the requester of the CIA records about himself, and all correspondence would remain between the CIA and Epstein's law firm.

Since NED is the epicenter of the Censorship Industrial Complex, & after Trump's 2016 win NED began hiring officers & directors for their specialty in censorship work, here's a 🧵 on the Censorship Industrial Complex activities of Rep. Joaquin Castro, on NED's board since 2023: Image
Image
Image
Image 2: Since Castro is on both the House Intelligence Cmte & Foreign Affairs, he's uniquely privy to & influential on CIA, State Dept, USAID & NED matters, which those committees oversee. 2017-2018, Castro led the intelligence crusade that "Russian disinfo" online helped Trump win. Image

Wow. Incredible find here. Imran Ahmed, the censorship operative who pledged “black ops” against RFK and whose annual priority was to “Kill Elon’s Twitter” is being represented in court by Norm Eisen !! Image Norm Eisen specifically made Internet censorship a cornerstone of his domestic color revolution playbook, published in 2025. Eisen personally representing Imran Ahmed now should be understood in that context.

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.

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 Image

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.

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 Part 1 here

It’s important to understand the relationship between USAID external policies and immigration & refugee internal policies.

Remittances from migrants & refugees in the US provides more money to the home networks USAID sponsors in target countries than USAID itself 🧵 Image 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 Image

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. 2/4

2 weeks after Tucker interviewed Pavel, the CIA-founded Radio Free Europe (run directly by the CIA for its first 20 years), ran a long piece insinuating Russia was secretly controlling Telegram & Ukraine must seize control of it instead as a military intelligence imperative. Image Straight out of a Benzpill lecture, the piece begins by lauding how wonderful Telegram is for (CIA-backed) rent-a-riots in Belarus, Iran, & in Russia itself. It applauded Telegram’s 2014-2020 era bc Pavel never gave in to the foreign gov’ts the CIA was using Telegram to topple.

pop star mega-hottie Dua Lipa was given a formal award by the Atlantic Council (Pentagon-funded, State Dept-funded, CIA cut-out funded) for using her activist voice & reach to promote NATO’s political objectives in the Balkans

This is outrageous. Sander van der Linden has been working directly with both DHS & the US State Department thru his Cambridge U censorship center, which also gets Google Jigsaw funds, & here he is advocating the UK gov’t ban US company X from the UK. See thread below for more 👇

The DMV is run by the Department of Transportation. That means the DMV’s registering of illegals to vote is being run by Pete Buttigieg, the former military intelligence officer beloved by our CIA Blob class. “Media darling Pete Buttigieg was in unit that worked with CIA in Afghanistan” from @TheGrayzoneNews

Thank you @EricRWeinstein for the shout-out! Below in this thread, I’ll post the USAID Blob Guide to censoring the Internet. Also, it’s this exact network everyone will learn a whoooole lot more about on Sunday-Monday when the thing I’ve been working on all month finally drops… Below is USAID, which was set up to be a State Dept foreign policy funnel for overt US gov’t initiatives & CIA funding conduit to rush cash to US gov’t covert initiatives, proposing 31 times to financially bankrupt anyone who speaks or hosts online speech that challenges them
