JUST IN: Another Twitter Files Drop: Twitter and “Other Government Agencies”
gateway pundit ^ | 12/24/2022 | Cristina Laila

Another round of Elon Musk’s Twitter files were released on Saturday.

The latest Twitter files were released by journalist Matt Taibbi on Christmas Eve.

1.THREAD: The Twitter Files TWITTER AND “OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES”

— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 24, 2022

After weeks of “Twitter Files” reports detailing close coordination between the FBI and Twitter in moderating social media content, the Bureau issued a statement Wednesday.

2. It didn’t refute allegations. Instead, it decried “conspiracy theorists” publishing “misinformation,” whose “sole aim” is to “discredit the agency.”

3. They must think us unambitious, if our “sole aim” is to discredit the FBI. After all, a whole range of government agencies discredit themselves in the #TwitterFiles. Why stop with one?

4. The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government – from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA

5. The operation is far bigger than the reported 80 members of the Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), which also facilitates requests from a wide array of smaller actors – from local cops to media to state governments.

Yes, we have Fascism.

Remember how the left always accuses our side of what they’re doing. They called Trump and supporters fascists while they practiced fascism.

Given “Russian disinformation” appears to have been used as a pretext for the FBI (and other agencies) flagging accounts that only posted on domestic issues - it certainly seems reasonable that the US government has a vested interest in continuing the conflict for purposes of suppressing opposing domestic voices. I think Glenn Greenwald has advanced similar concerns over the past 1-2 years and it seems this evidence is reinforcing his assertions.

If the FBI is proud of what they've been doing why don't they choose the top 4 people in the FBI who BACK THESE PROGRAMS TO CONTROL INFORMATION IN A FREE COUNTRY AND LET THEM ANSWER QUESTION ON FOX NEWS?

Maybe a case can be made for a state having a secret police that controls what citizens are allowed to hear.

Cuba and North Korea don't allow their citizens to hear 'conflicting ideas'... So make the case goons and bullies... If you do a good enough job Cuba or Iran or even China could learn from YOU FBI guys

Who are you going to believe? A failed corrupt lying FBI (JFK shooting, Waco, Ruby Ridge, 911, Boston bombing, etc.) or a credible real journalist?

Musk may not be the richest man in the world now but probably the most consequential.

We may be looking at a man who will be studied by schoolchildren in future years.

You don’t get to that place by being a timid tool of the establishment.

“Come on derfs. Love us. We are the FBI. We’re you buddies. And if you don’t worship us we’ll SWAT you at 4 AM and drag you off to jail without a trial. And if you’re lucky we won’t shoot your dog.” - FBI

************************************************************

Lol, the FBI, and other law enforcement agencies, have received so much BAD publicity over shooting peoples dogs that IF I were the Chief of Police or FBI Director I would issue an ORDER to not shoot anybody’s dog under any circumstances. Dart it, hug it, kiss it, rope it throw a blanket over it but don’t shoot it!
