🔥🔥Attention researchers! I have some shocking new info on Ryan Routh! He claims he was director of a group called the "International Volunteer Center" in Ukraine and also claimed to have contact in Syria, Pakistan and Israel. This suspected Trump assassin was flagged by the US during his return from Ukraine, but Mayorkas DHS refused to probe him.

The International Volunteer Center denies Ryan Routh’s involvement. But he is listed in a 2023 Semafor article saying that he heads it.

Also, The international Volunteer Center has a sister org that bridges English speaking countries with the Ukraine. It’s called America House Lviv.

Now this is where it gets tricky… It works with the US Embassy and Irex. Irex works with the US State Department and was involved in the Integrity Initiative.

“America House Lviv opened in October, 2022 with a mission to catalyze the prosperous and democratic future of Ukraine by investing in the great potential of Ukraine’s emerging leaders and strengthening ties between Ukrainians and Americans. Through the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, America House is administrated by global development and education organization IREX.”

Routh was also flagged in 2019 and was under suspicion for possessing a firearm while a felon, FBI Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey Veltri of the Miami Field Office revealed on Monday.

Chelsea Walsh, a nurse who volunteered in Kyiv, Ukraine in 2022, claims she told Border Protection agents about several encounters she had with Routh in the country when she returned to Washington’s Dulles airport one year before Routh’s interview in Honolulu. She told authorities she suspected Routh was dangerous and exhibited “Overall Predatory Behavior

I have supplemented, Just the News’s, article about the centers, and will link all articles and websites in a new post. We need some serious investigation into this.


Here’s the Just the News article that mentioned the, “International Volunteer Center", that got me digging deeper.

Suspected Trump assassin flagged by U.S. during return from Ukraine, but Homeland refused probe

Routh even gave U.S. agents who interviewed him a business card that portrayed him as the director of a group called the "International Volunteer Center" that also claimed to have contact in Syria, Pakistan and Israel. He also described who had underwritten his efforts to recruit foreigners to assist Kiev.

🔥The ABC Whistleblower affidavit on ABC and Harris cheating on the debate has been released. According to this, the Whistleblower has recordings too!

And as safeguards, they sent this certified to majority leader Johnson the day before the debate.

Plus they also have sent, and still possess, unopened certified letters and FedEx packages mailed from BEFORE the debate. Here’s a missing page. Us noticing that they used bad camera affects for Trump was no mistake.

This also includes the fact checking parts etc.

https://twitter.com/docnetyoutube/status/1835346600559841465

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! Florida based, official international fact checking org, is funded by the US State Dept! And it operates in the United States too! This is a massive scandal! The State Department, who legally can’t operate in the US, has been funding US fact checking since 2015! Yes, it’s earliest days!

The news orgs that operate under the IFCN flag, such as the Washington Post, do the leg work. Which then results in posts on Facebook etc being labeled and the algorithms throttling the post.

This official international fact checking org is also partnered with Google. Poynters IFCN was funded by the CIA linked, State Dept NED and Omidyar grants.

Recall Google initiated the first ever US censorship and expanded it globally by using the First Draft Consortium. First Draft also worked hand in hand with the IFCN. Poynters Politifact was in the First Draft network.

♦️Now check out this timeline of events.

April 2015 - First Draft Consortium started by Google

June 2015 - Official First Draft Announcement comes out. Along with its Google News Lab partnership announcement (obviously)

Aug 2015 - Google News Lab partners with Poynter

Sept 2015 - IFCN is launched by Poynter

Oct 2015 - Poynter launches IFCN with State Dept NED funding

Oct 2017 - Google news lab partners with IFCN specifically

Dec 2018 - Poynter acquires Politifact

♦️Next I’ll list some key quotes from IFCN’s beginnings:

Oct 21, 2015 - “Today marks the online launch of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at Poynter. This informal network, a forum for fact-checkers from five continents, is born out of the desire to study and discuss fact-checking as a journalistic instrument worldwide.

The IFCN is supported by grants from the Omidyar Network and the National Endowment for Democracy.”

“Poynter's partnership with Google is the institute's first major alliance with a digital technology company.”

♦️ Now showing US links is easy.

“Led by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at the Poynter Institute, FactChat is the first collaborative project to unite U.S. fact-checking organizations with two major Spanish-language news broadcasters to fight mis/disinformation during the 2020 presidential campaign.”

“Facebook users in the US and Germany can now flag articles they think are deliberately false, these will then go to third-party fact checkers signed up with the IFCN.

Those fact checkers come from media organisations like the Washington Post and websites such as the urban legend debunking site Snopes.

Another warning appears if users try to share the story, although Facebook doesn't prevent such sharing or delete the fake news story. The "fake" tag will however negatively impact the story's score in Facebook's algorithm, meaning that fewer people will see it pop up in their news feeds.”

“Alexios Mantzarlis at first led the IFCN:

Then he moved to GOOGLE NEWS LAB. And is now Principal, Google Trust & Safety Intelligence. As Director of the IFCN, he helped draft the fact-checkers' code of principles and shepherded a seminal partnership between fact-checkers and Facebook.”

♦️Now let’s head into Brazil:

- Cristina Tardáguila, NED FELLOW, Founder of Agência Lupa and was at Brazil misinfocon with Zommer. Both were GDI advisors. Cristina Tardáguila is the IFCN Associate Director.

- Laura Zommer is Zommer isn the board of the IFCN and Género & Numero from Brazil. She’s also the Executive and Editor-in-Chief at Chequeado, the first initiative of fact-checking and verification of public discourse in Latin America.

Knight Fellow Laura Zommer started Factchequeado, a journalism and education hub to stem disinfo flows in Spanish-language platforms in the US.

Factchequeado will use innovative approaches developed by Chequeado and Maldita in Latin America and Spain – introducing a WhatsApp tipline to involve audiences in fact-checking. Factchequeado is a collaborative alliance with Latino media and fact-checking orgs.

Sources plus more to follow.
Let’s begin with the International Fact Checking Network’s (IFCN) first days.

♦️Oct 2015 the IFCN was launched by Poynter with support from grants by the Omidyar Network and the National Endowment for Democracy.



♦️This is a September 2020 report, and funding still was from the State Dept NED and Omidyar but now included Soros funding etc.

Broadband Commission research report on ‘Freedom of Expression and Addressing Disinformation on the Internet’

The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN, 2019a) was launched in September 2015 as a business unit within the non-profit journalism school Poynter Institute for Media Studies, based in St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S.. The Institute, which owns the Tampa Bay Times, launched IFCN to bring together fact-checkers worldwide and to promote good practices and knowledge exchange in the field.

The IFCN’s mission is to monitor trends, formats and policy-making about fact-checking worldwide, to publish regular articles about fact-checking, to promote training - both in person and online - as well as ensuring basic standards through the fact-checkers’ code of principles. On August 6th, 2020, IFCN had 79 verified active signatories of its code of principles, 14 verified signatories under renewal (IFCN, 2020d)

IFCN has received funding from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, the Duke Reporters’ Lab, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, the National Endowment for Democracy, the Omidyar Network, the Open Society Foundations and the Park Foundation (IFCN, 2019d).

🔥🔥🔥The first ever major US censorship was not only Google initiated, it is 💯 linked to the CIA and the UK 77th psyop brigade!

First Draft News, was our first major censorship org both in the US and globally. It was started by the CIA funded Google. But just in case you don’t want to take me seriously on the CIA part, here’s more:

Bellingcat was one of the original orgs signed up by Google to run First Draft News. And it’s been 💯 funded by the CIA NED

Bellingcat was also in the intel cutout Integrity Initiative censorship org. Oh and Bellingcat was also in the Zinc Network censorship org.

The CIA founded Google asked Bellingcat to sign up. Never mind that they also asked Meedan who is a major global censor that works with our DHS and in Brazil who is going after Elon.

Most noteworthy is Google, Meedan, Storyful and Bellingcat.

Storyful, another founding org that Google approached, had Alastair Aiken, he founded the UK 77th psyop brigade:

“ALASTAIR AITKEN, of Storyful Intelligence, the News Corp digital intelligence company, he provided advice and insight to senior corporate and financial services leaders on digital networked influence and ESG strategy.

For thirty years he was in the British Army, leaving as a Brigadier having founded and built the internationally renowned 77th Brigade, the first Information Warfare organization in a western country.”

And Alastair Aitken too was a member of the intelligence cutout, Integrity Initiative.

Our censorship was created by intelligence and there’s no way out for these goons.

Now on to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)

“National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has funded groups such as Bellingcat, Index on Censorship, Article 19, Finance Uncovered, and the Thomson Reuters Foundation”

(Reuters is connected to the Zinc Network intelligence cutout via leaks I have previously exposed.)

“Former CIA officer tells Declassified the NED is a vehicle for US government propaganda”

“Allen Weinstein, the director of the research study that led to creation of the NED in the 1980s, remarked in 1991: “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.””

“CIA whistleblower Philip Agee, who served in the agency in the 1960s, commented in 1995: “Nowadays, instead of having just the CIA going around behind the scenes and trying to manipulate the process secretly by inserting money here and instructions there and so forth, they have now a sidekick, which is this National Endowment for Democracy.””

“The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a non-profit corporation funded by the US Congress, has ploughed over £2.6m into seven British independent media groups over the past five years.”

“The NED was “created…to do in the open what the Central Intelligence Agency has done surreptitiously for decades”, the New York Times reported in 1997. That included spending millions of dollars to “support things like political parties, labor unions, dissident movements and the news media in dozens of countries.””

Yeah doom on CIA! Sources to follow!

https://x.com/pepesgrandma/status/1628570706978955264

Before we move on, yeah, Google owns this.

You bring on worldwide censorship and you pay the piper.

https://twitter.com/pepesgrandma/status/1829944820573278210

❗️❗️Breaking! Google just didn’t seed fund First Draft News, the first major US and global censorship org, it CREATED IT! I also have finally gotten the names of the Google employees they used to start the global censorship in 2015. This was in preparation for the 2016 elections. Yup, the same Google that visited the Obama White House 427 times. And the same Google that helped Obama win both his first and second presidencies!

Interestingly, Tim Walz went on to hire one of the two Google individuals, Steve Grove.

All along I thought the First Draft News consortium was started on June 18, 2015, when it was announced by Olivia Ma. But actually contact was made in April 2015.

I’ve been looking for more specifics on First Drafts origins for years, now I have TWO SOURCES. Also Google expanded its support to include its GLOBAL TEAM.

1. First Draft website:

“Most importantly, a final huge thank you to Steve Grove and Olivia Ma at Google News Lab. They got us all in a room in New York in April 2015 and FLOATED THE IDEA of First Draft.  Since then, their support and enthusiasm, now combined with the same from their global team, has been invaluable.

2. Google News Lab on Medium - Steve Grove Director of the News Lab at Google.

“At the center of our efforts around this topic is the First Draft coalition, WHICH WE STARTED in 2015 with seven social media verification organizations to create standards and best practices in the news industry for verifying eyewitness media content and COMBATTING FAKE NEWS.

In 2016, we expanded the coalition to over 80 partners worldwide, and were thrilled to welcome Facebook and Twitter as well.”

Claire Wardle, the director of First Draft, on March 31, 2015, and weeks prior to Googles offer, became the Tow Centers Research Director. She worked with Tow/Knight previously. Google is partnered with the Knight Foundation.

And, it just so happens that Steve Grove and Olivia Ma who started First Draft were frequent visitors to the Obama White House over many years! I even have Steve Grove down for a strategy meeting with Obama less than 3 months before the April 2015 First Draft Consortium inception.

♦️Video #1 - Shows that Steve Grove, the director of Google News Lab, first met Obama at Google while Obama was still a senator.

This also shows the multiple projects from multiple time frames that Steve Grove worked with Obama from 2009 to 2016. He’s all over this video.

This also shows that Steve Grove worked with Obama during the same time that he and Olivia Ma created the First Draft News global censorship org.

♦️Video # 2 - Shows that Olivia Ma accompanied Steve Grove to the White House on at least one occasion in 2010.

These videos may seem boring to you, but to me they are documentation of evidence.

Sources to follow. Google started what I consider the first major censorship in America, and globally, so this can’t be taken lightly.

The Biden admin has expanded things globally, during the same time that First Draft was shuttered. But First Drafts framework and training, still used today, was already built.

Here’s the evidence that proves that Google was responsible.

1. First Draft News Website:

“Most importantly, a final huge thank you to Steve Grove and Olivia Ma at Google News Lab. They got us all in a room in New York in April 2015 and floated the idea of First Draft.  Since then, their support and enthusiasm, now combined with the same from their global team, has been invaluable.”


2. Steve Grove - Google News Lab Director on their Medium page:

“At the center of our efforts around this topic is the First Draft coalition, which we started in 2015 with seven social media verification organizations to create standards and best practices in the news industry for verifying eyewitness media content and combating fake news.

In 2016, we expanded the coalition to over 80 partners worldwide, and were thrilled to welcome Facebook and Twitter as well.

Any news organization can sign up, and in 2017, we’ll be working with the coalition to engage in more projects like Electionland, our polling place verification initiative.”

🔥🔥Today’s breaking report! A 2021 Brazil Tribunal Superior Electoral (TSE) court meeting that exemplifies the intermeshing of the US and Brazil censorship apparatus.

The same exact disinfo racket running in the US are also working with Brazil. Brazil also used US publications from the same groups to write their own 2022 disinfo policies.

This is part two, Brazil, Comprova, Meedan and the Alexandre de Moraes Superior Electoral Court.

In Oct 2021 there was a disinformation meeting on Zoom between the Brazil TSE courts, a few Brazil NGO’s, and US groups.

“The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) holds the International Seminar Disinformation and Elections, with live broadcast on the TSE's YouTube channel. The seminar has experts and representatives from Brazil and abroad from public institutions and civil society entities, as well as media outlets. The goal is to raise ways to prevent or minimize the disclosure of misinfo in the 2022 General Elections.”

So who was all there?

USA:

- First Draft News, Claire Wardle (Google seed funded)
- Digital Forensics Research Lab (DFRLab - Atlantic Council) Luiza Bandeira
- International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), Lisa Repell
- Carnegie endowments Alicia Wainless
- Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig
- YouTube/Google, Alexandra Veitch
- Twitter, Jessica Herrera-Flanigan
- Facebook, Neil Potts
- WhatsApp, Will Cathcart

TSE:

-TSE, Minister Luís Roberto Barroso
- TSE general secretary, Aline Osorio
- TSE - president and vice president of the Electoral Court, ministers Luís Roberto Barroso and Edson Fachin
- TSE - secretary general of the Presidency of the Court, Aline Osorio.
- Plus many Brazil NGO’s

Extra note:
🔹The Biden CIA Director, William Burns, was president at Carnegie Endowment until March 2021. This meeting happened Oct 2021.

So which orgs documents did Brazil use to write its 2022 disinfo and misinfo policies?

- USAID (state dept)
- Stanford (EIP)
- DFRLAB (EIP) Atlantic Council
- Graphika (EIP)
- Harvard Belfer
- Harvard Shorenstein
- Aspen Institute
- ISD Global
- UNESCO
- Center for Tech and Civic Life (Zuckerbucks)
- NDI
- IRI
- Brennan Center
- Center for Democracy and Technology

Note*
You must also remember, as previously reported by me, that Brazil and its TSE belongs to the US State Dept Open Government Partnership (OGP). It was an original partner with this Obama initiated program. Part of this includes promises of disinformation handling.

Ok now I can get back to Meedan, after showing you that US censorship went global. Sources with print screens to follow.
Here’s print screens of the English translation of the Brazil Tribunal Superior Electoral (TSE) courts website event announcement which included the US censorship apparatus. They wanted ideas from US orgs on how to expand censorship.

Also included were social media orgs.

Not in English 👇🏻

🔥🔥Breaking! Obama linked Google is involved in censorship in Brazil! Also, Brazils Alexandre de Moraes TSE is involved! And so is the US embassy. The US DHS is linked also.

This is part one, Brazil, Comprova, Meedan and the Alexandre de Moraes Superior Electoral Court.

X is under fire in Brazil partly by a censorship apparatus started by First Draft News, and seed funded by Google. With DHS and spook city connections also.

Meet the First Draft News, Crosscheck program which is called Comprova in Brazil. Which still lives on past First Drafts demise and rebirth at Brown University.

Since 2016 First Draft has promoted collaborative reporting and cross-checking experiences around elections in the United States, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Nigeria, Spain, Uruguay, Argentina, Australia and the European Union. Brazils began in 2018.

Also recall First Drafts heavy connections to Integrity Initiative orgs such as the Atlantic Council, and included the founder of the 77th psyop brigade in its first days.

Now let’s move forward to Comprova Brazil which has been and still is partnered with Alexandre de Moraes Superior Electoral Court (TSE). I was waiting to see what happened for 2024 and sure enough they are involved again and launched this month.

US embassy and Comprova:

US Embassy in Brazil financed the + Communities project, allowing eight journalistic collectives to participate in Comprova.

US Embassy in Brazil financed the +Redações project, which allowed six media organizations (one from each region and the other from the Federal District) to have a journalist dedicated to Comprova.

See the institutions that participated in the creation of the TSE 2024 campaign to confront lies:

- TSE - Superior Electoral Court
- Comprova Project
- Lupa Agency
- Abraji - Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism
- Abert - Brazilian
- Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters
- Ajor - Digital Journalism Association
- Alright
- Aner - National Association of Magazine Editors
- ANJ - National Association of Newspapers
- To The Facts
- Coar
- Open Word Institute
- Projor - Institute for the Development of Journalism

Another from this list is LUPA.

“U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Brazil launch, together with Agência Lupa, ran a free fact-checking training for journalists and students.”

Also, on June 13, 2022, Lupa and the Google partner, Hacks/Hackers, convened Brazil's first-ever MisinfoCon. Recall MisinfoCon was started at Google and Knight foundations Newsgeist with Hacks/Hackers involvement. This led to the creation of the DHS Disarm framework aka CTI League Files.

The above event brought together journalists, representatives of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), and other professionals.

Meedan, an original founding partner at First Draft News, is also partnered with Lupa.

————————————
Meedan

Meedan has been partnered with the Brazil Superior Electoral Court for multiple things. Also involved in Comprova was Meedan.

“Estadão Verifica’s (Brazil disinfo org) strategy to address misinformation in Brazil works with Meedan CHECK.”

The newspaper, O Estado de S. Paulo, that runs the Estadão Verifica disinfo org, helped in the creation of Comprova. This was initiated by their editor and First Draft News member Daniel Bramatti. He was also Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji).

Comprova now claims that Abraji is now running it. Although it was started by First Draft News.

Meedan check is pro Palestine, and partnered with Palestinian fact-checking platform Kashif to respond to claims through a Whatsapp channel.

Ed bice, founder of Meedan, belongs to the credibility coalition. Which created the disarm framework used by our DHS CISA. Meedan also gets USA NSF Track F funding. Meedan has other disinfo ties in Brazil.

Meedan will be involved in fact checking for both the US and Brazil 2024 elections.

We will get into Meedan further in part 2. All sources to follow.


August 2024 - Comprova, Lupa, Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji) etc join together for the election like in the past.

“Fighting lies: TSE and Aner join associations to create an information campaign about the elections”

“On launch day, two playbooks developed by Aner and the TSE Communication Secretariat (Secom/TSE) will be released with information about the institution and the electoral process. One of them has voters as its target audience, while the other is intended for journalists.”

🚨🚨🚨Huge news folks along with Kamala documents galore!! Kamala Harris may possibly not be a naturalized US citizen! But wait, it’s not what you think. This is due to special immigration laws nobody has considered. Plus it seems both her mama Shamala, and father broke some laws too!

You see, the Department of Justice and FBI opened an investigation of Kamala Harris’ alien Indian mother for unauthorized work and marriage fraud in 1967.

Now, this next thing doesn’t affect anything, I think. 🤷‍♀️ But Kamala’s mom had an extended deportation order that expired 5 days before Kamala was born!

Also, when Kamala Harris' mother claimed to be a Caucasian on her Indian daughter's birth certificate, the alien INS scheduled for deportation concealed her nationality as a citizen of India in violation of the 1952 Walter-McCarran Act that controlled alien immigration when she arrived in 1958

Claiming to be a “Caucasian” for an alien from India in 1964, whose admission on an H-1 student visa came with tight restrictions under the 1952 McCarran-Walter Act, created a federal law problem for Gopolan.

Based on the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, which established the immigration laws under which her mother had entered the nation in 1958, Kamala Harris could not be “naturalized” as a half-breed child of an Indian from India and a British Jamaican.  The Luce-Cellar Act of 1946 was still in effect limiting the number of Indians immigrating to the United States of America to no more than 100 per year when she was born in 1964.  The current Vice President of the United States of America should have applied for a student visa and then citizenship when she entered this nation’s borders from Canada as an adult in 1982.

More on Kamala’s mom’s (Shyamala) DOJ issues:

Fourteen years after she requested a January 6, 1972 dissolution from her “on paper” July 5, 1963 marriage to Jamaican alien Donald Jasper Harris, Indian alien Shyamala Gopolan lied on federal immigration forms she submitted through Immigration & Naturalization Services (INS) to the United States Department of Justice and said that she was married.

The “marriage” lie was found in Gopolan’s Immigration Visa and Registration application “flagged” with the identifier “(b)(6)” for “unauthorized work fraud.” She also got the (b)(7)(c) flag for “unauthorized status changes.’ It meant each time she asked for permission to work she was already working. 

“Shyamala, whose previous presence in the United States of America was under a student visa – had signed the federal “Immigrant Visa and Registration” form attesting to being married to an “immigrant.” The date next to her signature is February 3, 1986.”

“The late Shyamala Gopolan’s marriage lie appears to be among the first INS investigators exposed in the 154-pages of investigatory records reviewed that are contained in her United States Department of Justice’s alien file.”

As for dad, Jamaican alien and admitted Marxist Donald Jasper Harris’ visa had identified him as a “British” citizen of Jamaica as he concealed his work and research for the Jamaican government’s University of the West Indies.  His dual role as a student and Jamaican government researcher violated the Foreign Agent Registration Act when he entered the nation in 1959.  Identifying himself as “British” instead of an “African” citizen of Jamaica made him, like Shyamala Gopolan, appear to be Caucasian on paper.

The father of our nation’s vice president completed an economic research project in 1964 for the Jamaican government on computers he used at Berkeley.  His secret presence inside the state-owned University of California as an unregistered agent and citizen of Jamaica gave him access to “national defense secrets” through its libraries and databases.

Shymala also submitted a middle name change for Kamala while under deportation orders.

There’s tons more, and statutes are cited. Source to be provided.

My head is spinning and we seriously need an attorney to review this.


Here’s your 5 bajillion words of legalese. Have fun! And just keep scrolling!

🔥🔥Massively huge! Obama was a made man! His first presidential election was no accident, and was helped along by globalists and especially Google! Obama has been working with Google since at least 2004. And unbeknownst to most, Obama was actually a globalist himself!(See video clips.)

Not only this, the World Economic Forum partnered, Google, who helped make Obama, is involved in most major censorship. As already evidenced by me over the years. Google seed funded First Draft News, and even got what is now known as the CTI League Files started. Even having a hand in Newsguards start. Plus so much more!

This is part three of my series on, Elections, Obama, Ushahidi and Big Tech.

These below main globalist characters were all involved in getting Obama elected into his first presidency. And maybe even as a senator. By his second presidential candidacy, Silicon Valley created an entire tech campaign team for him. I have reported on this part previously.

The Trilatetal Commission, as I previously reported, is part of what made Obama, but it looks like Google helped the most.

Zbigniew Brzezinski - cofounder of the Trilateral Commission worked Obamas 2008 campaign and endorsed him

Mark Brzezinski - Son of the Trilateral Commission cofounder - worked Obamas 2008 campaign

Eric Smith Google CEO, Trilateral Commission member, and Bilderberg attendee. He worked Obamas 2008 and 2016 campaign’s.

Eric Schmidt also worked in the Obama admin while he worked at Google. It’s no wonder Google visited the Obama White House 427 times. Google and its partnered Knight Fndn was paying for censorship during the Obama admin.

Chris Hughes - Facebook founder, Council on Foreign Relations and Bilderberg. He worked Obamas 2008 campaign also.

“Prior to 2008, the tech industry maintained an especially low profile in Washington. All of that changed when Google, led by chairman Eric Schmidt, played a major role in Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign, as did Facebook cofounder, Chris Hughes. Obama’s win led to a revolving door between Silicon Valley and the executive branch, with Google dominating the flow in both directions.”

Google executives soon found themselves assuming roles in the Obama administration. Including Eric Schmidt who landed in the same Council of Science and Technology Advisers that Obama announced in the below mentioned video. Google's former head of global public policy, Andrew McLaughlin, was named deputy chief technology officer office. Plus tons more positions including on Obama’s transition team.

Obama and Google were synonymous.

Video clips: - Senator Obama 2007 at Google to debut his Innovation (tech) Agenda.

Video #1 quote by Obama:

“The average Americans incomes and wages have flatlined. They’re not making progress. And they feel anxious about it. And because they feel anxious about it, they are afraid of globalization. And that fear has been led by our politics. Now my strong belief is that globalization and a here to stay and is a powerful tool with potential for good. But we have to make sure that everybody has the ability to access what is good about globalization.”

Video #2

Google executive, David Drummond, mentions that in 2004, Obama before he was even a senator, met with the two CIA linked founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, along with Eric Schmidt.

After announced, Obama admits that the founders of Google, Eric Schmidt, and David Drummond are great friends of his.

All sources to follow including the full video, and my thread on the Trilateral Commission. Here’s my previous 🧵 on the Trilateral Commission, Barack Obama and his dear UK friend, Kier Starmer.

This gives you substantial background information on the Trilateral Commission.

🔥🔥Breaking! Tim Walz is a globalist! He met with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum over China and then developed a WEF and Klaus Schwab love affair!

On OCTOBER 7, 2009, the Congressional Executive Commission on China met. And I have the transcript, and Tim Walz was there. What he had to say about Klaus and the WEF was very interesting, keep reading.

Obviously Tim’s association with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum went great after his meeting in October 2009, because 5 months later, on March 9, 2010, he sponsored House Resolution 1148.

This resolution, “Supports the mission of the World Economic Forum and encourages the ongoing pursuit of international collaboration through economic, political, cultural, and intellectual engagement. Honors: (1) Klaus Schwab for creating the Forum and for his 40 years of successful leadership; and (2) the 40th anniversary of the Forum's global economic and social leadership.”

Shall we get to the October 2009 Congressional Executive Commission on China transcript next? 😁

Representative Walz:

“I had the chance last night--I was speaking--it was Klaus Schwab and his folks from the World Economic Forum. Is that the right forum to get this done? Is that the right way to carrot and stick at the same time, as they're starting to bring in their 85 or so different issues, much of it focusing on climate as it comes together with economic development? Do you think that is a way to go to get this, other than you won't dump computers even though they're our computers and we don't want to dump them here, type of thing?”

Ms. Economy:

“Just to clarify, your question is whether the World Economic Forum and their effort.”

Representative Walz:

“Yes. Do you think that is the right forum to effect positive change, in your mind as you see this?”

Ms. Economy:

“Since I'm part of the China Council for the World Economic Forum.”

Representative Walz:

“Which I did not know, so it wasn't planned.”

Ms. Economy:

“So there you go. I would like to say yes, yes,
indeed.”

Representative Walz:

“Okay.”

Ms. Economy:

“I think it's a good way to move forward. I think the challenge for the World Economic Forum, and in general, again, is in moving from what are really good discussions with really smart people to actually getting things done. The advantage of the World Economic Forum is that you not only have thinkers but you also have many companies involved, many great corporations.”

Representative Walz:

“Is it your experience the Chinese are less resistant when it comes from that forum?”

Ms. Economy: “Certainly, because they are lauded at every turn. I was just in Dalian for the meeting of the World Economic Forum and it was really a grand celebration of China. So I think they are very warm and welcoming for the World Economic Forum and the way that the World Economic Forum couches its messages. Yes.”

Representative Walz:

“Well, I appreciate that.”

Inside the transcript, Tim Walz has an opening statement and additional conversations. Sources to follow so you can read this and the house resolution.
Let’s begin with the transcript for the Oct 2009 Congressional Executive Commission on China first since it was Tim Walz’s earliest meeting with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum.

There’s much to read inside here!

Here’s his opening statement:

Representative Walz. Well, thank you, Chairman Dorgan, for your leadership.

Thank you to all of our panelists for being here. We truly appreciate this. The importance of getting together and the importance of this Commission I do not think can be over-stressed, and I, too, extend my welcome.

Fang Zheng, thank you for being here. When you were here in June, my only disappointment was that we did not have as many people here or as many cameras to tell the story, and to tell the story to our young people of what happened.

As we as a country develop our relationships with China, it is critically important that we develop them not just on the economic side of things, we develop them on the environmental side, on the moral side, the human rights side, and all of those together, trying to understand one another in a way that betters our societies for everyone.

Yesterday, I had a unique opportunity to spend a little over an hour with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and spoke extensively with him. When I asked the question about this Commission and the work that we are doing in here and the report that we publish, I said, ``Is this helpful for furthering democratic principles and human rights principles? “And he didn't miss a beat and said: ``Very helpful. Keep doing your work. Keep doing the work and keep publicizing it.'' He said, ``Not just for us, not just for Tibet, but for China, for the People's Republic of China, to further their growth to bring them into the community of nations fully and for us to understand one another.''

So I am proud of the work we do in here. I think that the Chairman has summed it up. The group that met with the Dalai Lama is the China Working Group in the House, and their motto is, kind of, it is a group of people that aren't panda-huggers or dragon-slayers, they're folks that want to get this thing right in our relationship. I'm very proud of the work of this group of staying consistent with our principles on human rights, from trade, to the environment, to everything else.

So with that, Chairman, I thank you again and I yield back.”

The UK’s tyrannical Keir Starmer used to run a Marxist organisation called Socialist Alternatives. He’s also been a member of the pro-US, pro-market think tank, the Trilateral Commission, since 2018.

Socialist Alternatives was the publication of the British section of the pro-self-management, ex-Trotskyist group, the International Revolutionary Marxist Tendency.

Starmer wrote earnestly about the creation of a ‘self-managing socialism’ that would be ‘based on democratic control of production for “use” rather than “profit”.’

Starmer’s subsequent depressing trajectory from ‘Marxist’ radical to cynical careerist is not uncommon on the British left. One of his own top advisers, Simon Fletcher, used to belong to the Trotskyist group, Socialist Action.

🔥🔥Breaking! Here’s the rare sales contract between Smartmatic and SVS Holdings! I’ll be posting screenshots of every page including the index. (I actually have extra stuff too for later.)

This will help you understand this sale to SVS Holdings 👇🏻:

- Smartmatic bought Sequoia

- Smartmatic was forced to divest by the US Gov.

- SVS Holdings was created by Sequoia management staff to buy Sequoia.

- SVS Holdings bankruptcy leads to sale to Dominion.

Now there’s been speculation on what was inside these docs because nobody could get them. I got them twice from two sources. Guess it wasn’t all that impossible.

The biggest issue everyone talks about is the rumored Proprietary Intellectual Property (IP) clause where they heard that Smartmatic retained the IP.

There are other pages inside that talk about Intellectual Property too.

Here’s the parts pertaining to the Proprietary Intellectual Property:

The Proprietary Intellectual Property clause 8.14 from inside the sale doc:

“The Parties agree and
acknowledge that the Company does not have any right, title or interest in or to the Proprietary Intellectual Property, without limiting the terms of the Distribution Agreement.”

Definition of Proprietary Intellectual Property as listed in the sale doc:

"Proprietary Intellectual Property" means all Intellectual Property owned or developed by the Selling Stockholder or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company), including but not limited to all intellectual property arising from or in respect of the Edge Il Plus, Advantage Plus, Hybrid Activator, Accumulator & Transmitter (HAAT) and HAAT Listener and all peripherals from time to time pertaining to the foregoing.

In another document I shared today, City of Chicago Alderman, Edward M. Burke had this to say:

“Mr. Blaine (president of Smartmatic and later Sequoia) told the Joint Committee that software components for the Sequoia system were developed in Venezuela and that the Venezuelans had access to the Sequoia code. Specifically, a critical component of the Sequoia system purchased by Cook County, the HAAT, or Hybrid Activator Accumulator Transmitter was developed in Caracas by Smartmatic engineers. It was this component that failed during the primary election held March 21, 2006.”

The HAAT Listener is a software application attached to a network. It uses a web server to connect and receive electoral data from transmitting devices.

Let’s now begin, I present the:

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG SVS HOLDINGS, INC., SEQUOIA VOTING SYSTEMS, INC. AND SMARTMATIC CORPORATION

Let’s begin with
The Table Of Contents for the Smartmatic sales docs:

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG SVS HOLDINGS, INC., SEQUOIA VOTING SYSTEMS, INC. AND SMARTMATIC CORPORATION

Yeah there’s a lotta pages.

There was a license agreement (2009) between Dominion and Smartmatic BEFORE Dominion bought the Sequoia machines (2010).

An interesting aspect is that Dominion was providing Smartmatic scanners and software for the Philippines.

In 2009, Smartmatic International and Dominion International executed a License Agreement in which Dominion granted to Smartmatic a worldwide license to market, make, use, and sell precinct count optical scan ("PCOS") voting systems utilizing Dominion's optical scan voting system technology.

The License Agreement obligated Dominion International to provide Smartmatic International with, among other things, the hardware, software, firmware, and technical support needed to enable Smartmatic to exploit the broad license granted by Dominion.”

June 10, 2010

“Dominion Voting Systems Corporation Acquires Assets of Sequoia Voting Systems (previously owned by smartmatic)”

Source documents to follow.

@JMichaelWaller does this answer your questions on the working relationship between Dominion and Smartmatic?


First we will review the 2009 license agreement between Dominion and Smartmatic. This was mentioned inside a 2012 Smartmatic Complaint Vs Dominion and Iron Mountain Intellectual Property Management.

Dominion also gave to Smartmatic all know-how, trade secrets, methodologies and other technical information relating to the generally released Dominion PCOS voting systems (not including internal releases)" ("Licensed Technology'), and to
"provide Smartmatic with all information related to the Licensed Technology.”

Now both Smartmatic and Dominion have multiple locations. I noticed they both also exist under the laws of Barbados.

“This lawsuit arises out of Dominion's failure to honor its commitments to Smartmatic and its interference with Smastmatic's business relationships in the Philippines,
Mongolia, and Puerto Rico.”

“In 2009, Smartmatic Intenational and Dominion International executed a License Agreement in which Dominion granted to Smartmatic a worldwide license to market, make, use, and sell precinct count optical scan ("PCOS") voting systems utilizing Dominion's optical scan voting system technology. The License Agreement obligated Dominion International to provide Smartmatic International with, among other things, the hardware, software, firmware, and technical support needed to enable Smartmatic to exploit the broad license granted by Dominion.”

“18. On October 9, 2009, Smarmatic International and Dominion International expanded upon the obligatione set forth in the MOU, the Binding Term Sheet, and the April 2009 license agreement by executing the License Agreement, in which Dominion International granted to Smartnatic International a worldwide license "to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale, lease and sell' voting systems utilizing that certain PCOS technology developed by Dominion International ("Licensed Products"), which included, but was not limited to, the technology described on Exhibit A to the Agreement. Agreement 1.4, 2.1. Entitled "PCOS Voting Systems Specifications and Trademarks", Exhibit A specifically identifies and describes the then current version of Dominion's ImageCast Precinct Count Optical Scanner and its Democracy
Suite Election Management System, which together comprise the Licensed Technology incorporated into the Licensed Products for use in the Project.

19. In addition to authorizing Smartmatic International to incorporate Dominion's
PCOS technology into automated election platforms offered by Smartmatic, the License Agreement obligates Dominion International to provide "all know-how, trade secrets, methodologies and other technical information relating to the generally released Dominion PCOS voting systems (not including internal releases)" ("Licensed Technology'), and to
"provide Smartmatic with all information related to the Licensed Technology ...”

🔥🔥 Crowdstrike 2024 election protection and its connections to today’s Crowdstrike outages!

Today’s computer outage was caused by a bad file in an update that involved Crowdstrike’s Falcon Endpoint Protection and Response (EDR). The same protection offered in an election system protection psckage.

So, did election systems get this bad update today? If so, it’s a good thing it’s not Election Day.

Wired:

“The CrowdStrike update appears to be linked to its Falcon Sensor product. The Falcon system is part of CrowdStrike’s security tools and can block attacks on systems, according to the company.”

Another important point is that Crowdstrike is globally involved in elections with its working partnership with the WEF linked Global Cyber Alliance. Do we really want to be here?

CISA works with CIS that utilizes Crowdstrike for election protection. CIS shares the same address as the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA). Crowdstrike is partnered with the GCA. We have gone global folks and this shouldn’t be!

Now Falcon is part of an entire election security package.

“CrowdStrike® Services provides the best-practice frameworks needed to assess and enhance cybersecurity maturity levels for election systems to protect the integrity of the voting process and the sanctity of the democratic institutions under which we continue to thrive.”

These services include:

•Compromise Assessment
•Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment
•Security Program In-Depth
•Falcon CompleteTM (Security as a Service)

Now I did notice that Indiana doesn’t allow Falcon Complete on election systems. But feel free to check every state. There are multiple Falcon products too. This area has room for more research.

Okta is involved with Crowdstrike protection too. Marc Rogers of the CTI League Files is VP of Cybersecurity Strategy at Okta.

“Together, CrowdStrike and Okta combine powerful insights into user and device context into a single view that eliminates security blindspots.”

Sources and more information to follow.


Here’s the reporting on Crowdstrike Falcon and today’s worldwide internet outage on Microsoft Windows systems.

“The outages could result in “millions” being lost by organizations impacted who have had to halt their operations or stop business, says Lukasz Olejnik, an independent cybersecurity consultant, who says the CrowdStrike update appears to be linked to its Falcon Sensor product. The Falcon system is part of CrowdStrike’s security tools and can block attacks on systems, according to the company.”

🔥🔥🔥Breaking anonymous insider testimony on the Trump shooter incident. This will eventually be submitted to the Congressional tip line. In the meanwhile, it’s yours too! The people deserve to know!

My person has access to the PA State Police, Butler County Sheriffs, and Butler PD. Now let’s begin.

1. The water tower is still very much in play.

2. The state police are usually allocated to events such as the Trump rally.

3. Secret Service told the State Police not to show up.

4. All SERT tech (Strategic emergency response team) would have been leveraged by the State Police that were disinvited.

5. Tech for State SERT also includes drones, bombs, and snipers. So state was not allocated, and local police were only allocated to traffic control.

6. If SERT is the normal unit to provide permitted security and tech, how did the Secret Service intend to augment without them?

7. Only four state police were permitted onsite. Near to local police restricted to crowd / vehicular traffic.

8. State Sert would normally be on the roof. (But secret service told them not to show up.)

9. Sheriffs department is suggesting someone fell off the roof and broke both ankles. But has not yet confirmed this…

10. Butler Sheriff is largely corrupt. Many are questioning his messaging on MSM. FYI, this person is NOT anonymous to me. Only to you.

I’m good to go, and 💯 on board.

🔥Breaking! A woman interviewed in Butler mentioned a second shooter in the water tower! 👀

We now have our grassy knoll!

🔥🔥 Thierry Breton of the EU, who’s going after Elon Musk, once worked for the Rothschilds and was a 1998 World Economic Forum, Global Leaders for Tomorrow member!

♦️Sept 11, 2007:

“Rothschild bank has just recruited former Minister of Economy and Finance Thierry Breton. He will become a "senior advisor" of the American investment banking entity, Rothschild North America, while continuing his governance teaching activities at Harvard, and therefore remaining based in Boston. "At Harvard, all teachers have one or two external advisory mandates in addition to their duties," explains Thierry Breton, who says he is "finalizing another consulting mission with another international financial institution".

♦️The World Economic Forum documents file name is:

WEF GLT Class of 1998

GLT is Global Leaders For Tomorrow.

@elonmusk this is my third post on Thierry Breton today. Expect at least one other! But it won’t be as short and sweet like this one. 😹

Sources to follow.
Oh yeah sources would be nice. 😹

I actually have two articles on Thierry Breton and his Rothschild stint. They both need translated.

1. Thierry Breton becomes "senior advisor" at Rothschild

Rothschild & Cie continues to expand its international network of advisors. The bank has just recruited former Minister of Economy and Finance Thierry Breton. He will become a "senior advisor" of the American investment banking entity, Rothschild North America, while continuing his governance teaching activities at Harvard, and therefore remaining based in Boston. "At Harvard, all teachers have one or two external advisory mandates in addition to their duties," explains Thierry Breton, who says he is "finalizing another consulting mission with another international financial institution.


2. Thierry Breton joins Rothschild Bank

The former Minister of Economy and Finance will join Rothschild North America, the American branch of the Rothschild & Cie investment bank, as a senior advisor. He will perform these functions in parallel with his teaching activities at Harvard, and intends to finalize another consulting activity with an international financial institution soon. He thus joins Rothschild's important network of international advisors, which includes former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder or former Coca-Cola boss Douglas Daft.

🔥🔥Huge Thierry Breton scandal that you have never heard about! Prior to working as an EU commissioner, Thierry Breton was CEO at Atos who armed repressive regimes with technology in order to spy on and torture its citizens.

Abbreviated version:

Thierry was CEO of Atios for over ten years. Atios had a subsidiary called Bull where Thierry was also a board member. There they sold a system called Eagle.

The Eagle system was sold to various repressive regimes including the Khadaffi regime in Libya, Ben Ali’s Tunisia and the Moroccan secret service, allowing them to monitor and torture citizens and journalists.

There’s a bit of a longer story to this tho. Here’s the official government investigative report:

In 2007, Amesys reportedly sold this telecommunication surveillance technology to Libya, which was used by the Gaddafi regime to arrest and torture critics of the regime. According to Telerama, Nexa was founded by the founder of Amesys to rebrand the surveillance software and to continue the sales of Amesys to the Egyptian regime. In 2014, Nexa Technologies had allegedly sold an interception system to the Egyptian regime under the name Eagle. This system was used in connection with the detention and torture of political opponents of the Al-Sissi regime. Eagle was deployed and maintained by Amesys from 2007 to 2011.

In 2010, Amesys was taken over by French computer firm BULL. In 2014, Atos, led at the time by Thierry Breton, took over Bull and therefore also acquired Amesy.

At the time of the takeover by Thierry Bretons company, the dubious activities of Amesys in terms of trade with authoritarian regimes were already well known, indeed a complaint had already been lodged.

In 2017, an investigative media report revealed the sale of surveillance systems by Nexa Technologies to Egypt in 2014, triggering a complaint by FIDH, LDH and the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies (CIHRS) against the company.

Despite these controversies, the French Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (ANTS) signed a contract with Amesys in October 2016 worth over EUR 5 million for the technical management of the TES database (containing personal data and biometrics of all French citizens). This decision of the French authorities to involve Amesys, then already known for its practices, in such a project was subject to criticism. While Amesys would not be in full control of the systems used for the controversial TES database file, it would assist the agency’s project managers who deal with the TES file, so it cannot be excluded that Amesys would have access to personal data.

In June 2021, following several complaints by human rights organisations, the Paris Judicial Court indicted four executives of Amesys and Nexa Technologies over the sale of surveillance technology to the governments in Libya and Egypt. It is worrying that no less than 10 years had passed between the first complaint and the start of the court case. Meanwhile, Amesys had been able to continue its activity unhampered, including the above mentioned sale of surveillance technology to Egypt.

This was only part one, there’s even more to know about Thierry Breton. Later, I’ll be taking you to defense, space, cyber, and much much more!

🔥 Bad Kitty series on Chinese contributions to United States disinfo work, Part 1! China contributed more than you realize.

In response to the 2016 election, Indiana University Observatory On Social Media built the Tool called Hoaxy. This was used to track Twitter disinformation and was created by a team that included two Chinese individuals that got Chinese funding.

This also once had access to the Twitter API (not anymore). This paper includes analysis of the 2016 election. And obviously it concentrated strictly on conservatives.

Paper authors include:

- Chengcheng Shao, College of Computer,
National University of Defense Technology, China

- Xinwen Jiang, The MOE Key Laboratory of Intelligent Computing and Information Processing, Xiangtan University, China

With those 2 individuals supported by:

- Chengcheng Shao, China Scholarship Council

- Xinwen Jiang, supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) - Grant No. 61272010

This NSFC grant (61272010) sponsored another paper which included the two individuals above for the National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, Hunan, China. The paper involved identifying all Internet users with a national network identity to counteract disinfo. I’m certain there are more examples, but you get the idea.

This shows that the paper writers wrote hoaxy (see photo 1):

“How to reduce the overall amount of misinformation? To explore these questions WE BUILT HOAXY, an open platform that enables large-scale, systematic studies of how misinformation and fact-checking spread and compete on Twitter.”

The Indiana University, Social Media Observatory itself is currently funded by the Knight Foundation. The Knight Fndn is one of the earliest funders and initiators of disinfo work including misinfocon which created the credibility coalition. Knight is partnered with Google.

Indiana Social Media Observatory is also adamantly anti Elon Musk. And was also the creator of Botometer.

Sources to follow and see you for part two!


Here is the document on the creation of Hoaxy which included team members from China institutions along with Chinese funding.

Of course the others were from Indiana University.

The public Web interface of Hoaxy was launched on December 20, 2016 (after Trump won).

🔥US Government paid for the targeting of conservative accounts for the 2016 election and later!

DARPA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and Omidyar Democracy Fund, together funded a popular bot check program that ranked conservatives poorly on Twitter! These rankings often led to suspensions.

This Botmeter program was built at Indiana University Social Media Observatory. Also, Democracy Fund is a Soros Democracy Alliance partner org.

DARPA Grant Award W911NF-12-1-0037

NSF Grant Award CCF-1101743

We all remember Bot Sentinal but who all remembers BotOrNot later called, Botmeter? (I do) With these programs recall that Dem trolls here would say, “wow, look at your bad score, you’re a bot”, and then report us! And if you checked, all of their scores would be green. (Later, Elon took away the access for both programs.)

My best friend who mostly wrote intense research about US/China corruption, ranked extremely poor with Botometer. (Bots don’t post intense threads.) Their account was also suspended, but Elon later brought it back.

Research from this project received worldwide coverage in hundreds of articles in popular media, including Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, CNN, BBC, NPR, The Economist, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Politico, New Scientist, Wired, Science, and Nature.

Interestingly, it’s been reported that Elon used Botometer to calculate bots on Twitter during his purchase. Well, he didn’t know. 🤭 I’ve always been listed as suspicious on all those programs myself.

I’m certain there’s a bigger story here. But I’m going into the opposite direction with the horribly overlooked Indiana University Social Media Observatory next.


If you read my last paragraph, I’m just quickly putting this out there. Familiarize yourself with the Indiana University Social Media Observatory for the future, please. 😈 🦁💪🏻

Listed on the Indiana University Bot or Not poster ( lower right corner), are the Grant numbers.

Also recall the headaches we had with most of us being marked as suspected bots by these programs. And the harassment campaigns and suspensions that resulted.
