The FBI Paid Twitter Three and a Half Million Dollars to "Help" It Censor "Misinformation"

And before you say "That's not a lot of money to Twitter" -- any amount of money is a lot of money to Twitter. The company has lost money every year of its existence.

Twitter has never made a profit and, until Elon Musk, seemed to act as if profitability was a hate crime.

So yeah, the money was useful to Twitter.

Our government paid for censorship.

Buh Muh Private Corporation, huh?

Some of the revelations from yesterday, underscored by Technofog:

* The FBI continued its requests of location and VPN IP data from Twitter users, done without a warrant and without a subpoena: "would Twitter be open to sharing which service provider(s) those VPN IP addresses resolved to?" To its credit, Twitter pushed back on this request.
* In one case, the FBI requested user data for an account that was critical of BLM and the Democrats. Twitter responded by confirming "the account in question is domestic in origin."
* The US intelligence community was pushing Twitter to "share more information" and change its user privacy settings.

The FBI wanted Twitter to help it breach users' privacy.

I believe an API is an Application Programming Interface, and it is the coding that allows one a user who is on one platform on the internet to seamlessly interface with another platform or program. From context -- this is my guess -- this requires an exchange of information about the user, and the FBI wants Twitter to "open up" more about who its users are when they access other programs from Twitter, so that the FBI can identify them and spy on them.

Only if they were committing real crimes, you understand. Real crimes, like disparaging BLM or the Democrat Party.

...
Then we have one of the more remarkable pieces of information to be released from the Twitter: confirmation that Twitter was paid nearly $3.5 million for assisting the FBI with its processing requests.

"Processing requests" = censorship.

Remarkable. Twitter was essentially contracted by the FBI, to the tune of millions of dollars, to report on users and remove non-criminal content the FBI found objectionable. One can’t help but think the money was effective in getting Twitter, and likely other social media companies, to do what the FBI wanted. After all, who can say no to a paying client with that much leverage?

Mollie Hemingway pointed to an extremely interesting disclosure. Technofog also highlighted this.

Remember, the FBI could not say the Hunter Biden laptop was fake or hacked by Russia, because they knew it wasn't, and they'd go to jail if they interfered in an election by stating clear falsehoods.

Their game was to insinuate it was fake and hacked, without explicitly saying so, and then when Twitter and other social media companies (and legacy media outlets) suppressed the story, they'd offer no comment on whether it was fake or not. (That's what they did when asked if Twitter was right to ban the story, they refused to say either way, even though they knew the laptop was real.)

How far did they go in this game of "priming" social media platforms to be ready to suppress the story?

Very far.

They created a wargame -- which they call a "tabletop exercise" -- which they invited Tech Monopolist employees to participate in. The wargame featured hacked documents about Hunter Biden's employment at Burisma (!!!).

The FBI then had the Tech Monopolist employees work through this wargame to see how good they were at Combatting Russian Disinformation.

Mollie
@MZHemingway
Worth reading through each of the pages in the below tweet, showing an *elaborate* pre-conceived plot to condition the propaganda press and Big Tech to do exactly what they ended up doing -- murdering the release of the story about the Biden Family Business and its corruption.

Indeed, the wargame sets up Tech Monopolists to expect a "Russian hack" of documents about Hunter Biden -- and then to suppress them, because they're all either hacked or fake or both.

No wonder the Tech Monopolists were so quick to ban the Hunter Biden laptop story -- they had already been put through their paces in the "tabletop exercise." They had already banned a Hunter Biden story in the FBI's wargame.

They knew what was expected of them and just how to do it.

30. Efforts continued to influence Twitter's Yoel Roth.

In Sept 2020, Roth participated in an Aspen Institute “tabletop exercise” on a potential "Hack-and-Dump" operation relating to Hunter Biden

The goal was to shape how the media covered it — and how social media carried it pic.twitter.com/lQSorONUSh
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) December 19, 2022

Note all the dates -- the dates of this wargame are in October, just before the election. Just when the FBI knew the real and authentic laptop story was likely to be published.

Also note the reference to "ATP Fancy Bear," a known Russian hacker.

In case you start to get confused, remember, this is not a timeline of what really happened in October 2020 -- this is a timeline in the "tabletop exercise" in alt-history semi-fictional events that they are wargaming out to see what they should do if this happens.

It's just that... this looks a lot like what actually happened in the real world.

So the Tech Monopolists who'd been run through this "tabletop exercise" did what the wargame taught them to do and banned the "hack and leak" Hunter Biden story.

Even though it wasn't a hack and leak story at all.

wargamepage2.jfif

wargamepage3.jfif

The FBI really, really, really wanted Yoel Roth and the Tech Monopolists to be thinking about the Russian hacking group ATP28 when they saw the Hunter Biden laptop story.

And that's exactly what they did think of, as Yoel Roth attests:

24. Recently, Yoel Roth told @karaswisher that he had been primed to think about the Russian hacking group APT28 before news of the Hunter Biden laptop came out.

When it did, Roth said, "It set off every single one of my finely tuned APT28 hack-and-leap campaign alarm bells." pic.twitter.com/RKoR4NtH1s

Musk Asks Schiff If He Approved 'State Censorship'; Advocates Modern 'Church Commission' To Investigate FBI Corruption

25 Do we feel like there is any additional guidance we can give to those companies that could help clarify our rules and minimize their efforts to point back to our API rules when they feel pressure from governments?
++++
That's pretty astonishing. This sounds like other platforms and companies who interact with Twitter were getting the squeeze from the government and refused (or were unable) to comply with those government demands and then, when challenged on it, hid behind Twitter. "We couldn't give you what you want because we can't get it from Twitter via our API connection."

Who are "those companies?" What was the US government demanding from *them?* That they hid behind Twitter's API capabilities or policies is somewhat beside the point. This was clearly a problem and Twitter was being used as the whipping boy - and that usage of them was leading to even more pressure from the state. But who else was in the chain that led up to this? Who else is the government squeezing information from?

33 If they're reporting it was $3.5 million, you know damn sure the real number is probably 10x that. The $3.5 million is probably just the verifiable, direct payments.

They may have even paid Yoel Roth $200 for a blowjob, 10x the amount in town.

Well, that's not true. What happens is that those seeking justice become the focus and target(s) of those who exercised the illegalities with the assistance of that same corrupt DOJ. That includes non-partial journalists, Musk, and you.

Until a competent head of the Executive Branch exists who installs a bulldozer, no-nonsense head of the DOJ who isn't afraid to piss off the "Progressives"...nothing can be accomplished to remedy these illegalities.

Hardcore dems? Nope. But there were plenty of mushy moderate types who might have been swayed. Ditto the COVID stuff: there were a lot of people who saw the hysteria narrative in the media and online, and bought into it. They bought into the notion that Trump was somehow bungling the response. That made them susceptible to the narrative that Biden was the elderly statesman who would restore competence and dignity to the WH.

If social media hadn't censored discussions of COVID or of the laptop, there would have been a more successful effort to push back against that narrative.

They did as instructed. They "thought of it" because they were told, in advance, at a big confab/drill, that whatever they need to do will be done under the guise of Russian disinformation. The players were already identified and held in reserve. It wasn't brainwashing, it was just good old-fashioned battlespace preparation. They set up the patsy, the story, etc. in advance, drilled on it, then just needed to plug in the correct names. They assumed it would be Hunter and that assumption was correct, but it didn't need to be. The plan would have worked anyway because all of the parts are portable.

It was a good plan.

I've been through this at a company I was at that was working on some groundbreaking security tech.

When the IC wants access to the API, it's so they can have a backdoor into the software and see *everything whenever they want.* Often, it's for purposes of reverse engineering the stuff that GovCunts aren't smart enough to make on their own. In this case, it's so they can attach their own software to monitor what all of their chattel subjects are saying on the platform.

Step #1 is a """request""" like this one. For regime-adjacent """private""" companies like Twitter, constantly slavering for one more taste of that regime cock, this is the final step.

If their first """request""" is refused, Step #2 is a National Security Letter. You may not discuss the NSL with anyone (it's national security, and you're not allowed to ENDANGER AMERICANS), and you must comply, or face prosecution.

If the NSL is refused, Step #3 is prosecution in a FISA Court. Again, secret proceedings, of course.

If you somehow prevail in their rigged-up kangaroo court, Step #4 is they just start trying to fucking hack you. If you are in a non 5-Eyes or aligned country, Step #4 is Step #1.

74 Again, most of the time, the CIA or whatever did not have to give orders or request jack. All they had to do is remind the already-agreeing, already compliant, already willing people in social media about what they want.

The money helped Twitter go along, but they didn't have to twist any arms. These are troops who are trying to anticipate the desires of their woke masters, and who already wanted to block the laptop story because it would help Trump.

As the book Hell's Cartel explains, the history of the German industrialists’ support of Hitler shows "what can go wrong when political objectives and the pursuit of profit become dangerously entwined." One can only surmise what might have happened if the businessmen had simply said "no" to Hitler that night.

In the Soviet Union, there was always tension between the Party, the State (the KGB, in realistic terms), and the Army - what Yuri Bezhmenov called the "Triangle of Power & Hate." It actually did provide *some* checks and balances. No single piece could just have its way all the time.

In the US, the military is not (yet) powerful enough to have a meaningful seat at the table, and the Party and State are fully unitary. The GOP faction is wholly subordinate to the Dems, and have no shot-calling authority, and at least 80% of State employees are Dems. The rest are just Dem-light anyway.

In short, at this time, Valerie Jarrett, Ron Klain, Susan Rice, and a handful of others at Kalorama are calling the shots, as they have since 2008.

131 I believe an API is an Application Programming Interface, and it is the coding that allows a user who is on one platform on the internet to seamlessly interface with another platform or program.

Right. For example, my hosting provider has an API that lets me write code on my desktop to get, for example, a list of all of the email addresses I’ve created on my server, or all of the web sites. It means I don’t have to ask my hosting provider for a data dump, I can get it myself any time.

Some APIs are read, and some are read/write. I can create web applications, web sites, emails, and so on, using that API and code that I’ve written.

But basically, an API is a way to write code to get or set information in ways that the API host hasn’t yet made available, in real time, often in response to other triggering events. (If my local IP address changes, this will trigger a script that contacts their API and updates the IP of the custom hostname I’ve set up for serving a few things from my local network.)

Now try Twitter - recruit 10 woke Twitter dupes...have them participate in a drill...have the 10 dupes write out the rules for illegal censorship that they learn - it all blows up - FBI skirts out unscathed - 10 Twitter dupes lose their jobs.

147 Meh, its the same plan over and over again. Start a wargaming session called, say "Patriot Front" - start it with 90 FBI guys pretending to be Joe Insurrectionists, find 10 drunks at the local bar and recruit them in - compose a drill and film it with the 10 dupes in it - go out to, oh, I don't know, Idaho or somewhere - get dramatically arrested - all 100. 90 FBI guys get let out and disappear - only the 10 dupes go to prison - hype it in the press - rinse and repeat.

Now try Twitter - recruit 10 woke Twitter dupes...have them participate in a drill...have the 10 dupes write out the rules for illegal censorship that they learn - it all blows up - FBI skirts out unscathed - 10 Twitter dupes lose their jobs.

Twitter calls it using the process to apply for reimbursement for time/funds they spent doing what the FBI asked them to do. That means congress authorized the FBI to make funds available to reimburse the tech companies for their expense if the FBI or IC asks twitter, facebook etc to help them remove content from a jihadist OR given this is DC from a dangerous MAGA veteran in flyover land laying out dangerous facts about covid vaccine dangers or Biden family corruption.

We all want to believe as kids that people just need a leader. A steely eyed patriot of Right and Wrong to show others the way and clean up the town. The problem is that the power concentrated in the government ITSELF is the problem- not the individuals who populate it. Power will draw evil like rotting meat does flies.

226 "The Oppenheimer trailer was pretty dramatic."

Leslie Groves' book "Now It Can Be Told" (1962) is a good look at the management and organization of the Manhattan Project, which were as daunting as the technical challenges were. People remember Oppenheimer but nobody remembers Groves. A story of solid American executive competence and skill, never to be equaled again as far as I can guess.

Groves was a badass and made the bomb happen. Balls of solid brass on him, too.

When he needed wire for the machinery at Oak Ridge, he couldn't get a copper requisition big enough - too much copper needed for weapons production. So he went to Treasury and demanded their supply of silver so he could go spin it into wire because he couldn't get enough copper. They agreed.

And it worked. And the losses were minuscule when, after the war, he had all the wiring torn out and melted back into ingots to be returned to the treasury.

But telling the treasurer of the richest country in the world to give you the national silver supply because you need electrical wire is pretty damn ballsy.

Correct. This is a national security state that has meaningless pageants known as "elections."

Step back and look at what happened here. There was no real effort to use cut-outs or to be subtle. I mean, Jim Freaking Baker was sent in to be the enforcer. They did this, and knew it might become public, because they also knew there would be no repercussions or consequences. Will Mitch McConnell utter a word? No. The People's Republic of China has him on direct deposit now. Biden commands a larger sum. And so on. Anyone doubt the kompromat on Chief Justice Roberts is through the roof? The lower court judges?

A VERY cursory search of the 1840 Presidential election brought up these gems:

Capitalizing on the country’s depressed economic state, the Whigs emphasized Harrison’s simple lifestyle over Van Buren’s relative decadence...He became, as a result, the first “packaged” presidential candidate, depicted as a simple soul from the backwoods.

The campaign deliberately avoided discussion of national issues and substituted political songs, partisan slogans, and appropriate insignia: miniature log cabins and jugs of hard cider were widely distributed to emphasize Harrison’s frontier identification...

Correct. The powers that be require her to lose, no matter what it costs or what has to be done to make that happen. She can NEVER win.

Its like a large majority in the senate, the Democrats are okay with 50/50 or close to that, but you get a significant majority of Republicans and that shuts down too much they want to do. Never going to happen, no matter what it costs.

I wanted to point out the judicial system DID overturn Roe V Wade, but confirming election fraud and potentially overturning a declared election would be a MAJOR precedent, with all sorts of ugly, long-term ramifications.

Police also imposed restrictions, as part of her bail, on Vaughan-Spruce engaging in public prayer beyond the PSPO area, stating that this was necessary to prevent further offences."
