THE FBI ASKED TWITTER TO BAN THE ACCOUNTS OF AMERICAN AND CANADIAN JOURNALISTS WHO CRITICIZE UKRAINE -- AT THE BEHEST OF UKRAINE'S MAIN INTELLIGENCE SERVICE

THE FBI ASKED TWITTER TO BAN THE ACCOUNTS OF AMERICAN AND CANADIAN JOURNALISTS WHO CRITICIZE UKRAINE -- AT THE BEHEST OF UKRAINE'S MAIN INTELLIGENCE SERVICE

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has aided a Ukrainian intelligence effort to censor social media users and obtain their personal information, leaked emails reveal.

The FBI is doxing American citizens and giving their information over to a foreign power.

What do you call it when you sell out your own country to aid a foreign country?

Maybe those sterling-silver patriots at the FBI can remind me.

In March 2022, an FBI Special Agent sent Twitter a list of accounts on behalf of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Ukraine's main intelligence agency. The accounts, the FBI wrote, "are suspected by the SBU in spreading fear and disinformation." In an attached memo, the SBU asked Twitter to remove the accounts and hand over their user data.
The Ukrainian government's FBI-enabled targets extend to members of the media.
The SBU list that the FBI provided to Twitter included my name and Twitter profile. In its response to the FBI, Twitter agreed to review the accounts for "inauthenticity" but raised concerns about the inclusion of me and other "American and Canadian journalists."
The FBI's attempt to ban Twitter accounts at the request of Ukrainian intelligence is among the most overt requests for censorship revealed to date in the Twitter Files, a cache of leaked communications from the social media giant.
The FBI's censorship request was relayed in a March 27th, 2022 email from FBI Special Agent Aleksandr Kobzanets, the Assistant Legal Attaché at the US Embassy in Kyiv, to two Twitter executives. Four FBI colleagues were copied on the exchange.
"Thank you very much for your time to discuss the assistance to Ukraine," Kobzanets wrote. "I am including a list of accounts I received over a couple of weeks from the Security Service of Ukraine. These accounts are suspected by the SBU in spreading fear and disinformation. For your review and consideration."
List of targeted accounts provided to Twitter by the FBI on behalf of Ukraine's SBU.
The listed Twitter profiles, the SBU alleged, have been "used to disseminate disinformation and fake news to inaccurately reflect events in Ukraine, justify war crimes of the Russian authorities on the territory of the Ukrainian state in violation of international law."
In order "to stop Russian aggression on the information front," the SBU continued, "we kindly ask you to take urgent measures to block these Twitter accounts and provide us with user data specified during registration."
The SBU expressed its "gratitude for the existing level of interaction."
In a memo forwarded by the FBI, Ukraine's SBU asks Twitter to "block" the listed Twitter accounts "and provide us with user data specified during registration."
If granted, the users on the list would not only have been banned from Twitter but had their phone number, date of birth, and email address disclosed to both the FBI and SBU.

Twitter's former head of "brand safety" or whatever, Yoel Roth, actually resisted the FBI's demands. He pointed out that the FBI was asking about bona-fide American journalists. He agreed that he would examine the list for "inauthenticity" -- that is, check if they're bot accounts or cases of many accounts managed by a single propaganda-manager -- and would only consider blocking real journalists if it could be proven that they were acting at the behest of a foreign government.

In his reply, Kobzanets did not directly acknowledge Roth's concerns about Ukraine's FBI-abetted effort to censor journalists. "Understood," Kobzanets told Roth. "Whatever your review determines and action Twitter deem[s] is appropriate." He also indicated that the FBI would not meet Roth's request for any "context" that might establish ties between journalists and a foreign government: "Unlikely there will be any additional information or context."
...
The FBI's National Press Office also declined to answer questions. Among several queries, I invoked Twitter's warning that the FBI's "assistance to Ukraine" entailed censoring journalists, and asked if that has prompted any changes to the bureau's collaboration with Ukrainian intelligence.
"While we appreciate your inquiry, as a matter of practice we do not confirm, deny, or otherwise comment on specific interactions nor confirm the veracity of correspondence," an FBI spokesperson wrote.

Guess who was copied on these emails? Elvis Chan, the agent in the San Francisco office who was the pointman for demanding censorship of accounts that disputed the US's official narrative on covid, transgenderism, Ukraine, Hunter Biden's laptop, and all other matters.

I'm not willing to turn over my rights to the Ukraine intelligence services. And if this is what they're asking, then I'd like to ask Russia to bomb them out of existence.

BTW, I have known Ukrainians who fled the then-Soviet Union, of which Ukraine was an occupied province. They were rock-ribbed anti-communists and Reaganites. One guy I remember introducing me to Full-On Right Wing Extremism -- just kidding, I mean he liked Reagan and Rush Limbaugh -- when I was still a stupid, soft-headed liberal.

I do not wish Ukrainians ill. But I simply will not put the interests of Ukraine over the interests of America. We are not going to turn America into Russia to save Ukraine from Russia.

But that's what we're doing.

We need to start using the criminal law to make sure that our "civil servants" understand that the country they serve is America, not Ukraine.

We are being ruled by a Ruling Class of outright traitors (and thieves; don't forget the bribes).

This cannot be allowed to go on.

The more I learn the more I'm of the mind that we're spending so much money to defend the Ukes is because if the Russians roll in and find the receipts, as the kids say, that the entire thing unravels and a lot of these so-called elites end up getting the Ceaucescu treatment.

I can't think of any other compelling interest for the United States to pour so much treasure into defending a shithole in Eastern Europe.

That *could* mean what the author stated - that the FBI would not be willing to provide any of that kind of information. But reading the words, it could mean that the FBI doesn't know and has no information to share even if they wanted to. That is even somewhat worse that the assumption the author made. If that's the case, it means that the FBI was just acting as a forwarding agent for foreign intelligence agencies and using its influence to censor American citizens on their behalf.

It will now be Saturday, so Biden will probably be in Delaware and 1/2 the guests from around the nation will probably have to go home...

88 The FBI has been sitting on a credible whistleblower claim for 6 years that Joe and Hunter each took $5 million dollar bribes, at least, from corrupt Ukrainian officials to fire the prosecutor looking into corruption at Burisma. They have had this information since the Spring of 2017 and they did nothing all through the fake Russia collusion hoax and the Ukraine hoax.

But then they were also part of the 2014 coup in Ukraine so they have a vested interest is seeing Ukraine be successful.

93 Ukraine was/is the global left's piggy bank and money laundering facility.

The more I learn the more I'm of the mind that we're spending so much money to defend the Ukes is because if the Russians roll in and find the receipts, as the kids say, that the entire thing unravels and a lot of these so-called elites end up getting the Ceaucescu treatment.

I can't think of any other compelling interest for the United States to pour so much treasure into defending a shithole in Eastern Europe.
Posted by: ballistic at June 08, 2023 03:23 PM (oXNqT)

There's also a lot of money sticking to other people's fingers along the way - I recall one of the early 30-40 billion grants to Ukraine was analyzed and only about 6 billion was going out there, and half of that to NGOs which likely was kicked back to various connected people in the US and EU folks. Of the remainder, the Ukrainians had to steal their cut from the rest.

++++
Sort of. What is really going on, I think, is a bit more venal and despicable than that. "America" has no interests, and "Americans" are not special in any way (except, possibly, especially despicable). The ruling class of this former nation sees its interests as the same as Ukraine's. They're not proxies for a foreign power, oppressing their own citizens for the benefit of that foreign power. They're all on the same team, oppressing subjects from Geographical Division A on behalf of their co-class players in some other Geographical Division.

111 Reposting my 78, because it's so hard to read because of the error.
In his reply, Kobzanets did not directly acknowledge Roth's concerns about Ukraine's FBI-abetted effort to censor journalists. "Understood," Kobzanets told Roth. "Whatever your review determines and action Twitter deem is appropriate." He also indicated that the FBI would not meet Roth's request for any "context" that might establish ties between journalists and a foreign government: "Unlikely there will be any additional information or context."
++++
That *could* mean what the author stated - that the FBI would not be willing to provide any of that kind of information. But reading the words, it could mean that the FBI doesn't know and has no information to share even if they wanted to. That is even somewhat worse that the assumption the author made. If that's the case, it means that the FBI was just acting as a forwarding agent for foreign intelligence agencies and using its influence to censor American citizens on their behalf.

It did indeed. They got a couple of life rafts thrown to them along the way, too. One was WWII. It was enormously destructive, but they got a lot of brand-new, American-made industry in the bargain, and tons of new territory. That helps a lot. Then by the mid-70s, when the USSR was on the brink of collapse, the Arabs handed them a new lease life on life with the oil embargo. If it had not been for the embargo, the USSR would have probably collapsed a decade sooner if not earlier.

But yes, it can go on for quite some time. We're also not in year zero.

Ukraine became a thing when the gaze couldn't adopt Russian infants. So the Ukies said, "How many you need?" Then the requests became even more bizarre. But some political figure needed to get greased to cover the graft. Some President needed to be impeached for even asking questions. Some family raked in millions and now Justice covers for them.

It did indeed. They got a couple of life rafts thrown to them along the way, too. One was WWII. It was enormously destructive, but they got a lot of brand-new, American-made industry in the bargain, and tons of new territory. That helps a lot. Then by the mid-70s, when the USSR was on the brink of collapse, the Arabs handed them a new lease life on life with the oil embargo. If it had not been for the embargo, the USSR would have probably collapsed a decade sooner if not earlier.

But yes, it can go on for quite some time. We're also not in year zero.

I think they might hold some of the far bank as a client state to buffer the incorporated areas from artillery attack. UKR seems to have a hobby of firing guns at Donbas cities.

This also reduces the size of the rump state. Kiev plus some farmland produces a state that even NATOized isn't a threat to Russia plus Russian Ukraine, even with western aid. Think of Austria after WWI minus Hungary and the Balkans, not much of a country afterward.

A trump card to play is to offer slices of West Ukraine to Poland, Hungary and other states. Again, reduces solidarity in the remaining area.

What, you mean the constant drumbeat of insane and malevolent lies from your pals at ISW, the Vindman types at the Pentagon, and literally all of the New York media including Fox? I could take all day detailing the fact the American cabal is less realistic than Baghdad Bob, but let's focus on Ukrainian casualties in this post.

The Pentagon papers, among most other sources, clearly believe the notion that Ukraine has suffered less than 20000 KIA during the entire war. Absolutely risible. It would be the first time in history a much smaller country with less military equipment had inflicted many more Russian casualties (also an absurd lie, but not the focus here) without impenetrable natural defenses or a gigantic technological advantage.

Maybe you buy into all that, and I wouldn't be slightly surprised. Zelensky and all those who serve his greedy, evil interests are the real enemy. Full stop.

Incorrect. Israel is allegedly neutral in this conflict, and I really doubt they want the Russian military to take an aggressive interest in expanding the current war to Syria and Iran. But then the same people trying desperately to punt out the Netanyahu coalition are likely in cahoots with the Vindmans, so I don't have particularly strong attachments to the notion.

Posted by: Elric Blade at June 08, 2023 03:44 PM (iFTx/)

The Soviet Union was broken and the only thing keeping its hyperinflation from showing was the embargo on imports and the crisis levels of shortages of goods in the market. Once Gorbachev opened to imports to solve the shortages all the money came out of the savings where it got put because there was nothing to buy, the Ruble hyperinflated.
Without opening the market eventually everything would have stopped working and the black market would have taken over. Even the Military was dysfunctional and could barely keep soldiers fed much less keep tanks running.

Oct. '15, Human Rights First announced she joined that org. & "As Director of Programs for Europe, Eurasia, and Southeast Asia at Freedom House, Corke pursued a Eurasia-wide strategy for enabling civil society groups to combat the spread of the “Russia model”—policies that fan the flames of intolerance, antisemitism, extremism, and homophobia crushing civil liberties, restricting religious freedom, and cutting off freedom of information and replacing it with propaganda." (With the State Dept.) "...she promoted human rights and democratic reform in some of the most repressive countries in Eastern Europe—Russia, Azerbaijan, and Belarus."

322 I understand it exists and I know it's because of the Enemy's influence, but LOGICALLY I've never understood it.

From an historical perspective it's pretty unremarkable. Christianity springs out of Judaism, and there's no disputes more bitter than those among family. Christianity eventually becomes the state religion and later various forms of it become state religions, with the result that the Jews are formally on the outside looking into the society's they live in. Because of theories like divine right kingship, anong other things, people outside the state religion are viewed as suspect. By the time the role and influence of Christianity is diminished, the prejudices are just baked into society without regard to their origin. And people seldom need much excuse to dislike or distrust others anyway. That's all halfbaked thumbnail history. But I think the gist is right. Add in that the Jews are on average successful, which is additional resentment fuel. TL;DR: Hating the Jews is well-established tradition at this point. People being rational enough to rethink the tradition is more remarkable than the tradition; probably would not have had that happen but for the Holocaust.

At that point the Uniparty Fascist-Marxist Insurgency began in earnest and with the arrival of Biden at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue it went from steadily to suddenly. To be clear the FBI was protecting the interests of a foreign power's secret police at the expense of American citizen's constitutionally protected rights. Fuck the FBI, Fuck the Uniparty, and Fuck the Ukrainians. I once sympathized with the plight of the Ukrainians being invaded by the Russians, never once thought is was our fight or in our interests to arm them, and now, after billions spent, we find out the Ukrainians are going after American citizens aided and abetted by the FBI.

398 Let's talk about the elephant in the room.

Much of the censorship stuff started during the Trump years. I'm not saying Trump brought this about, but because he had to rely on so many holdovers from Obama, there was all kinds of stuff going on without his knowing.

The truth is that while the Democrats may have a large number of the super rich, lots of folks in the upper middle are still Republicans. If you look at the salaries they are making in the private sector, you quickly see why Republican Administrations suffer from not finding the proper talent to run a government that is just too damn big.

There is no path even with dead Americans. The US Marines are no better than Ukrainians at surviving a shell landing on their heads, and we no longer can project power that far across the world. We have *one* ammunition plant, that blew up recently. We won't have air superiority, we won't be able to supply a large army in country, we have stripped our army of reserves and stocks by shipping them out already.

Luckily, though, the Pentagon seems to be on the more reluctant side of the spectrum in our divided, factional rulers and can probably drag their feet and keep out of it.

Russians tend to be paranoid because everyone comes and attacks their asses since the Mongols. Hard to call it a mental disorder since it is true.

Putin spent a decade or more playing ball while the US and EU dicked him around diplomatically. From what he says he's tired of playing and is turning away from Europe and is directing interest economically to China, Central Asia, and India.

469 It's irrelevant whether Ukraine asked for the ban or not -- the simple fact is, no federal agency has the constitutional authority to ban any American citizen's speech, full stop.

We need to focus on the main issue here, the normalizing of government-directed speech bans in America. Free speech is a fundamental American value and right. It supersedes and outranks every other right. It is the first one listed in the Bill of Rights.

The camel's nose in the tent is the whole matter of "hate speech" which isn't even a thing, it's a neologism pushed by the anti-American left. We need to reestablish free speech as a fundamental right and value by insisting on it being taught in our schools, mounting ad campaigns, etc.

478 It's irrelevant whether Ukraine asked for the ban or not -- the simple fact is, no federal agency has the constitutional authority to ban any American citizen's speech, full stop.

Wilson was so big on it that German language classes were banned in the US. Newspapers would literally get leaned on and people jailed for daring to print anything except the party line.

In my opinion the world would have been saved a great deal of horror and death if Germany had won WWI.

514 There are 3 horrendous SCOTUS rulings that make tyranny possible. The first was Dred Scott, the second was Korematsu, that legitimized the Internment of Japanese Americans in WWII. The third and most important and odius, was Arver vs United States which upheld the draft, and allowed the government to ignore the 13th amendment prohibition on involuntary servitude. This was the key decision, because it basically said: "Fuck you, we can do whatever we want, despite the clear prohibition in the Constitution, of our actions."

523 I think what's been the case from the start, Ukraine and the Ukranian people need to be separated. The Ukrainian people are fighting, and dying in droves, for their freedom and are doing so with full conviction.

On the otherhand the Ukrainian government is sending its people to die, so that they can launder money and get the US to do what they want. I doubt believe the majority of those in the government care about the regions the Russians are taking over, they are just worried about gaining power, even if that is crushing the rights of US citizens.

The next president should do a full accounting if the war, because i think any evidence will show that Zelensky, his handlers, and the US government saw Putin's invasion as an opportunity, and probably did everything in their power to encourage it, while afterwards making sure no peace agreement occurred.
