And what are we going to do about it?

TWITTER IS HIRING AN ALARMING NUMBER OF FBI AGENTS
The social media giant’s recruitment drive among federal agents is just one sign of a growing “revolving door” between the FBI and the entities it seeks to regulate.

“Per the article:
“For example, in 2019, Dawn Burton (the former director of Washington operations for Lockheed Martin) was poached from her job as senior innovation advisor to the director at the FBI to become senior director of strategy and operations for legal, public policy, trust and safety at Twitter. The following year, Karen Walsh went straight from 21 years at the bureau to become director of corporate resilience at the silicon valley giant. Twitter’s deputy general counsel and vice president of legal, Jim Baker, also spent four years at the FBI between 2014 and 2018, where his resumé notes he rose to the role of senior strategic advisor.
Meanwhile, Mark Jaroszewski ended his 21-year posting as a supervisory special agent in the Bay Area to take up a position at Twitter, rising to become director of corporate security and risk. And Douglas Turner spent 14 years as a senior special agent and SWAT Team leader before being recruited to serve in Twitter’s corporate and executive security services. Previously, Turner had also spent seven years as a secret service special agent with the Department of Homeland Security.
When asked to comment by MintPress, former FBI agent and whistleblower Coleen Rowley said that she was “not surprised at all” to see FBI agents now working for the very tech companies the agency polices, stating that there now exists a “revolving door” between the FBI and the areas they are trying to regulate. This created a serious conflict of interests in her mind, as many agents have one eye on post-retirement jobs. “The truth is that at the FBI 50% of all the normal conversations that people had were about how you were going to make money after retirement,” she said.
Many former FBI officials hold influential roles within Twitter. For instance, in 2020, Matthew W. left a 15-year career as an intelligence program manager at the FBI to take up the post of senior director of product trust at Twitter. Patrick G., a 23-year FBI supervisory special agent, is now head of corporate security. And Twitter’s director of insider risk and security investigations, Bruce A., was headhunted from his role as a supervisory special agent at the bureau. His resumé notes that at the FBI he held “[v]arious intelligence and law enforcement roles in the US, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East” and was a “human intelligence and counterintelligence regional specialist.”

“Meanwhile, between 2007 and 2021 Jeff Carlton built up a distinguished career in the United States Marine Corps, rising to become a senior intelligence analyst. Between 2014 and 2017, his LinkedIn profile notes, he worked for both the CIA and FBI, authored dozens of official reports, some of which were read by President Barack Obama. Carlton describes his role as a “problem-solver” and claims to have worked in many “dynamic, high-pressure environments” such as Iraq and Korea. In May 2021, he left official service to become a senior program manager at Twitter, responsible for dealing with the company’s “highest-profile trust and safety escalations.”
Other former FBI staff are employed by Twitter, such as Cherrelle Y. as a policy domain specialist and Laura D. as a senior analyst in global risk intelligence.
Many of those listed above were active in the FBI’s public outreach programs, a practice sold as a community trust-building initiative. According to Rowley, however, these also function as “ways for officials to meet the important people that would give them jobs after retirement.” “It basically inserts a huge conflict of interest,” she told MintPress. “It warps and perverts the criminal investigative work that agents do when they are still working as agents because they anticipate getting lucrative jobs after retiring or leaving the FBI.”
Incredible
It’s like you come upon a train wreck and go “oh dead bodies”
Nothing surprises us
They controlled everything almost
Elon snagged twitter their flagship and they can’t stand it
Insert hysterical laughter here: "______________"
I just posted this on the Q thread,much much more another 20 of these.

1. A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users.
2. Twitter once had a mission “to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.” Along the way, barriers nevertheless were erected.
3. Take, for example, Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (
@DrJBhattacharya
) who argued that Covid lockdowns would harm children. Twitter secretly placed him on a “Trends Blacklist,” which prevented his tweets from trending.

4. Or consider the popular right-wing talk show host, Dan Bongino (
@dbongino
), who at one point was slapped with a “Search Blacklist.”

5. Twitter set the account of conservative activist Charlie Kirk (
@charliekirk11
) to “Do Not Amplify.”
looks like some of what twitter was doing is starting to come out.
Just the title makes me laugh at this one... Lol.. they word it like it’s some random off the wall accusation some have made in the past...
Not moi.
I’m still banned on Twitter.
State also said to censor, requesting it.
Recall that someone at State authorized a plane load of Chinese to come to the US after PTrump forbade travel to/from because of the virus. (In 2020)
Pelosi and Cuomo both said to come to their Chinatowns shortly thereafter.
Twitter Executives and Jack Dorsey lied to congress several times about this under oath. How come this part of the story?
Isn’t part of the story (lying under oath to congress).
Hugh Hewitt, for one. He is stunned that “an American company and Americans” would actually do such unAmerican things. “Free speech is in the water and we all drink the same water,” he intoned. He had heard about this but “just couldn’t believe it.” He has been in a bubble apparently. Pathetically out of touch.
Jeff C. sure did run away quickly.
Dems: That's an insane conspiracy theory.
Bari Weiss: Here are the docs proving this.
Dems: Everyone knew this already. It's an — all together now — nothing burger.
@TX_1
“Hugh Hewitt, for one”
Hewitt is a poster boy for brainless, self-important elitism.
If anyone wonders why the national GOP is both clueless and stupid, Hugh is showing them why.
Imagine palling around with Erwin Chemerinsky for years and then being shocked to learn that the Left has no committment to free speech.
Done
Good, I returned.
I had a high school class mate who was WL Wolf.
He retired an Army Col.
