Released Files Show Between October 2019 and February 2021 alone, FBI Paid Twitter $3.4M to Silence Certain Views and Stories on Its Behalf

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

Twitter documents released by Elon Musk reveal the lawlessness of our intelligence agencies and the psychological warfare against the American public is far worse than expected
Between October 2019 and February 2021 alone, FBI paid Twitter 3.4 million to censor certain views and stories on its behalf, including the damning Hunter Biden laptop story, which likely would have sunk Joe Biden’s bid for the presidency had it received the attention it deserved
The FBI, Twitter and Facebook even ran a tabletop exercise about “hacked” information relating to Hunter Biden one month before the real story broke. During that exercise, they practiced the narrative that weeks later became “official truth”
A large number of current and/or former FBI agents work at and with Twitter to keep the online narrative in check. More than 100 supposedly “former” intelligence agents also work in Facebook’s content moderation department
While hunting down and banning covert propaganda accounts tied to foreign governments, Twitter worked with the U.S. Department of Defense to promote and protect American propaganda accounts, and aided U.S. intelligence agencies in their efforts to influence foreign governments using fake news, computerized deepfake videos and bots

From [HERE] If you're still under the naively mistaken belief that there is no Deep State, the Twitter file dumps 1 from Elon Musk detailing how Twitter, before his acquisition of the company, was coerced into doing the FBI's bidding, with actual FBI agents on its staff to control the online narrative, ought to set the record straight.

In fact, the lawlessness of our intelligence agencies and the psychological warfare against the American public is far worse than most people ever expected.

FBI paid Twitter huge sums of money — your tax dollars, might I add — to censor certain views and stories, such as the damning Hunter Biden laptop story, which likely would have sunk Joe Biden's bid for the presidency had it received the attention it legitimately deserved.

The FBI even ran a tabletop exercise about "hacked" information relating to Hunter Biden ONE MONTH before the real story broke. During that exercise, they practiced the narrative (i.e., lies) that weeks later became "official truth."

There is a Deep State running the show, and they're doing whatever they damn well please, without regard for the law or the U.S. Constitution. They're acting completely outside the rules of our Constitutional Republic and the laws of the land, and they've weaponized the very agencies that are supposed to protect us and act in the public's best interest and turned them against us.

The Twitter files saga is expanding by the day, so I won't be able to cover every last detail here. Books will be needed to cover this scandal in depth. In the meantime, I suggest you review the references cited and keep your eyes peeled for later updates.

FBI Used Twitter to Track and Spy on Americans

In the video above, investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald reviews how Washington has expanded the war state and the Democrat’s censorship regime. About 39 minutes in, he begins reviewing evidence showing the FBI was not only censoring social media content, but the agency was also, on a regular basis, asking Twitter to reveal the location of specific Twitter users — for what purpose, no one knows. As noted by independent journalist Matt Taibbi in a December 17, 2022, Twitter post:

"What 'law enforcement' objective is served by asking for Billy Baldwin's location information? Why is the FBI/DHS [Department of Homeland Security] in the business of analyzing and flagging social media content at all? When were these programs created and who approved them?"

These are all good questions. Historically, the FBI's job has been to monitor and address criminal activity, not "misinformation." Somewhere along the way, and it's unclear exactly when the mandate changed and by whom, the DHS/FBI (the FBI supports the DHS by investigating threats) and other agencies tasked themselves with illegally suppressing free speech and shaping public narratives through public-private partnerships with Big Tech.

The Biden administration's Orwellian "Ministry of Truth," revealed in the summer of 2022, was one of the first indicators we had that something was horribly amiss. And even though that agency was quickly disbanded after public outcry (and no small amount of mockery), the policing of mis- and disinformation was simply shifted elsewhere within the federal government.

Moreover, as reviewed by Greenwald, internal DHS memos, emails and documents show the DHS has worked on expanding its influence over tech platforms for YEARS. So, government censorship is not something that "just happened" in response to the COVID crisis.

Nor is the censorship limited to COVID or public health information in general. We now have evidence showing the FBI has actively interfered in multiple elections, for example — activity that Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) accurately warns is "the biggest threat to our constitutional democracy today." 2 [MORE]
