1. 🧵Meta's Misinformation & Fact Checking Policy is controlled by former career CIA & USAID operatives

I’ve previously written about former CIA officer Aaron Berman, who heads Misinformation Policy at Meta. He is joined by Mike Bradow, a former USAID official, who leads Fact-Checking Policy at Meta.

Berman & Bradow didn’t join Meta to protect free speech—they joined to control content, censor speech, and amplify U.S.-backed narratives, all with the goal of manipulating elections, both domestically and abroad, notably in Brazil.

On X, @mikebradow describes himself as a “democracy champion,” while Berman has previously bragged about championing “diversity & inclusion” while at the CIA—a classic example of intelligence officials using buzzwords to mask their true objectives.

As of today, both are still at Meta, actively running these operations. So, who really controls Meta?

The rest of this thread will expose how Berman and Bradow have used Meta to interfere in elections…Image

Image 2. Of all the foreign election interference by Meta, Brazil stands out the most. While the CIA operated on the ground inside Brazil, Aaron Berman & Mike Bradow played a key role in controlling content online.

They led the operation on Facebook & WhatsApp, censoring opposing narratives and amplifying U.S.-approved messaging to manipulate the outcome of the 2022 Brazilian election.

Here is a LinkedIn post by Aaron Berman detailing what his team at Facebook did to “prepare for elections in Brazil.”Image

1. 🧵Google & Meta function as extensions of the US Intelligence Community. With Jacqueline Lopour, Google's Head of Trust & Safety, and Aaron Berman, Meta's Head of Elections Content/Misinformation Policy, both being career CIA officers, it underscores the CIA's substantial control over online censorship.

Why is this CIA-Big Tech revolving door, where career CIA officers wield power to censor & decide what misinformation is, purposefully suppressed in the broader conversation about censorship?

Why are career CIA officers like Jacqueline Lopour & Nick Rossmann, who both have a history of spreading misinformation & promoting the RussiaGate conspiracy theory, now in senior roles in Trust & Safety at Google, deciding what is misinformation & overseeing content moderation?

The cumulative number of former Intelligence Community personnel hired by Meta & Google since 2018 is staggering. Before 2018, there were only a handful. Here are the combined hires by both companies:
CIA-36
FBI-68
NSA-44
DHS/CISA-68
State Dept-86
DOD-121 2. Why would Google specifically choose these six senior executives to attend an @ISF_OSAC event in DC?

Everyone in this picture, alongside former CIA Director Robert Gates, is a current senior executive at Google & a former career CIA officer, except for the attorney from Perkins Coie (2nd from the left).

1. THREAD: MIKE BENZ – FROM PROUD BOYS TO FRAME GAME’S ANTISEMITISM

@mikebenzcyber has disclosed, that in 2016, he was a member of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group.

Benz admits to being 'Frame Game', a prominent alt-right & antisemitic account on Gab from 2016-2018. Although he describes it as a “Jewish project to deradicalize the alt-right,” a thorough examination of over 200 videos suggests otherwise.

Is Mike Benz an FBI informant?

It's concerning that despite Benz's antisemitic rhetoric & Holocaust denial, influential figures continue to support him, especially after NBC's @BrandyZadrozny unveiled these revelations. In his response to the NBC story, Benz showed no remorse for his antisemitic rhetoric; instead, he expressed pride in his 'Frame Game' operation.

I hope that after reviewing this thread & the audio evidence, individuals like @elonmusk, @shellenberger, @KyleSeraphin, & @Timcast will reconsider their endorsement of Benz & publicly condemn his antisemitism.

Recently, Elon Musk declared his stance against any form of antisemitism. Does this sentiment extend to Mike Benz? 2. @mikebenzcyber’s Frame Game also had a blog on Steemit. One entry titled “A Jewish Perspective on Jewish Influence” offers interesting insights into the psychology of Mike Benz.

In the blog, Mike blames Jews for “white decline”, acknowledges reading Mein Kampf, & in section 51 he says, “Hitler actually had some decent points.”

What does Mike mean by this?

1.🚨BOMBSHELL🚨

Inside a 2022 @DHSgov-@ODNIgov-led Program on Disinformation, there are alarming disclosures:

*The U.S. Government ROUTINELY engages with ex-Intel Community operatives currently working in the private sector; Meta is specifically cited

*This report marks the first disclosure that "mission centers at the CIA" also have developed relationships with Social Media firms

Image 2. In February 2023, I flagged concerns about the ODNI's Foreign Malign Influence Center (FMIC).

FMIC is a functional clone of the now-defunct Disinformation Governance Board & was launched in September 2022 under Director Jeffrey Wichman, who is a 30-year CIA veteran.

1. 🚨Jai Retter currently serves as the Policy Lead for Violent Extremism at @YouTube

Shockingly, a tweet from Ms. Retter in 2017 openly praises Hitler & includes the use of a swastika

@elonmusk - would you categorize this as anti-semitic?

Does anyone think this tweet is appropriate or even funny?

Is this the conduct fitting for someone in her position as a content moderator at @YouTube ?

Jai Retter previously worked for @DeptofDefense & is an active member of @CFR_org & @AtlanticCouncil

After the public scrutiny generated by this revelation, it is anticipated that Retter will:

1- Make her 𝕏 account private- @jjrett
2- Block me
3- Delete the Hitler tweet- (archived- )
4- Make her LinkedIn profile private (archived- )
5- Continue to moderate YouTube content for 'hate speech' & ‘violent extremism’

1. 🧵Why has Meta hired more than 160 individuals from the US Intelligence Community since 2018?

Is the Global Engagement Center (GEC) directly providing funding to Meta? Is this a modern-day version of Operation Mockingbird?

SHELBY PIERSON-ODNI ELECTION CZAR

10/15/2020- One day after the NY Post Hunter Biden Laptop story, Pierson says-“Russians leak information…whether it denigrates Biden and/or boosts Trump”

@elonmusk 2. 10/19/2020- Five days after the NY Post story, Shelby Pierson’s boss, former DNI @JohnRatcliffe states emphatically:

“Hunter Biden’s Laptop is NOT part of some Russian Disinformation campaign”

FOREIGN MALIGN INFLUENCE CENTER

#FMIC quietly opened it’s doors in Sept 2022

It’s mission is identical to DHS Disinformation Governance Board

FMIC mission is to counter “malign influence” that seeks to influence public opinion & behavior

@elonmusk 2. The Foreign Malign Influence Center is operated under the ODNI

Jeffrey Wichman, former 30 year CIA agent, is the acting Director of #FMIC

Wichman, for lack of a better term, is the defacto leader of the “Thought Police” Image

1. #TwitterFiles & #FacebookFiles A deep dive into how Twitter & Facebook became willing partners with The Deep State

Should Facebook & Twitter hiring practices, along with their close ties to FBI, CISA & other Government Agencies be a focus in @Jim_Jordan investigation?

THREAD 2. At a September 5, 2018 Senate hearing, @Jack stated, “We’ve really strengthened our PARTNERSHIP with Government Agencies since 2016.”

Jack requests regular meetings with “Twitter’s Law Enforcement partnerships” & asks for a “single point of contact” with the Government

1. Google currently employs at least 165 people, in high-ranking positions, from the Intelligence Community.

Google’s Trust & Safety team is managed by 3 ex-CIA agents, who control “misinfo & hate speech.”

Here’s the breakdown:
CIA-27
FBI-52
NSA-30
DHS-50
ODNI-6

Thread🧵 2. Since the 2016 Presidential election, Google/Facebook/Twitter have hired at least 300+ people formerly employed by CIA, FBI, etc

Ex-CIA agents are Heads of Trust & Safety at Google & Facebook. Is it OK that ex-CIA agents control what “misinfo” is?
