TWITTER FILES: Elon Musk Releases New Docs Blowing Lid Off Soros-Tied ‘State-Sponsored Blacklists’
NewsBusters ^ | 3/2/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 03/02/2023 11:07:58 AM PST by JV3MRC

The latest batch of Twitter Files released by Twitter owner Elon Musk blew the lid off a coordinated effort to create “state-sponsored blacklists.”

Independent journalist Matt Taibbi, who unveiled the latest batch March 2, pointed to the George Soros-funded Atlantic Council and the government-backed Global Engagement Center as two of the entities responsible for creating blacklists to target Americans. Taibbi reported that “On June 8, 2021, an analyst at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab [DFRLab] wrote to Twitter: ‘Hi guys. Attached you will find… around 40k twitter accounts that our researchers suspect are engaging in inauthentic behavior… and Hindu nationalism more broadly.’” The Council reportedly suspected the 40,000 accounts of being “‘paid employees or possibly volunteers’ of India’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).” The problem, wrote Taibbi, was that the list “was full of ordinary Americans, many with no connection to India and no clue about Indian politics.”

Soros’ Open Society Foundations funneled at least $743,625 into the Atlantic Council between 2016 and 2021. But that’s not all. Specifically, The Global Engagement Center (GEC), backed by the State Department, reportedly funds the Council’s DFRLab. The Atlantic Council’s involvement in Twitter’ enormous censorship scheme is disturbing, given that the origins of President Joe Biden’s now-defunct Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) can be traced back to it.

What standing does Atlantic Council have to censor Americans fundamental Constitutional First Amendment rights to free speech?

Some bigass lawsuits need to get filed pronto, and including the funders/bankrollers/financiers (Soros, personally) of such authoritarian criminal masterminds.

If the MSM won’t report it, it never happened.
About 3 years ago, I told a friend of mine in AZ about Antifa.
They asked “Is that a radical right wing organization?”
Ten years ago, I told other friends in CA about the Tea Party.
They had never heard of it.

Extradite him to Hungary.

He's already under indictment there for WWII collaboration with the Nazis.

Who is the guy who gets to decide who has a voice and who doesn’t? Some 33 year old Beltway spook with a house in Durango.

Would be wonderful to hear him defend his right to silence others.

Cyber statecraft boss: WASHINGTON, DC – The Atlantic Council announced Trey Herr as Director of the Cyber Statecraft Initiative in its Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security. Dr. Herr will be central to further strengthening the Initiative’s continued work on cyberspace as a tool of statecraft in an era of expanding great-power competition where geopolitics and cybersecurity increasingly overlap.
“Trey’s extensive policy experience and creative mindset will play a key role in molding the Initiative’s programming and impact. The international cyber community continues to face massive challenges – from navigating complex international supply chains to securing and protecting critical infrastructure and democratic institutions,” said Barry Pavel, Senior Vice President, Arnold Kanter Chair, and Director of the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security.
Dr. Herr joins the Atlantic Council from Microsoft where he worked with a global security strategy and diplomacy team to address contemporary challenges in cloud computing, supply chain security, data governance, and vulnerability disclosure. Previously, Herr was a postdoctoral fellow with Harvard’s Belfer Cybersecurity Project working on cyber conflict and vulnerability discovery and visiting fellow with New America’s Cybersecurity Initiative working on malicious software and cyber risk....
The Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security is present throughout and deserves its own investigation.

ARC Understanding Accelerationist Narratives: The Great Replacement Theory
By Matthew Kriner, Meghan Conroy, Alex Newhouse, and Jon Lewis Originally posted on GNET.

On 14 May 2022, an 18-year-old white male allegedly perpetrated a carefully planned mass shooting targeting Black Americans. He opened fire at a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, New York, killing 10 and injuring three others; 11 of the individuals shot were Black. Preliminary analysis suggests the attack was an act of terrorism inspired by white supremacist views, particularly the Great Replacement conspiracy theory. The Great Replacement conspiracy theory posits that immigrants and existing populations of non-European descent – namely non-white people from African and Middle Eastern countries – are replacing white European populations in Western countries. It echoes similar conspiracy theories like Eurabia and white genocide. Each of these center around fears of demographic change and white extinction. The Great Replacement Theory first surged into the public consciousness in the immediate aftermath of the March 2019 Christchurch attack, and the subsequent release of the terrorist’s manifesto, whose accelerationist motivations we explored in our previous GNET piece. In fact, the Christchurch shooter titled his manifesto, ‘The Great Replacement’.
Therefore, this Insight explores how militant accelerationism manifested within the Buffalo attacker’s worldview, namely his belief in the Great Replacement Theory.

This information is all well and good, if you can understand it. Also, what can be done about any of these individuals if what they are doing is illegal?

Frankly, the information was not aimed at you. It was for people who use FR as a resource.
