1. TWITTER FILES: Statement to Congress THE CENSORSHIP-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

2. “MONITOR ALL TWEETS COMING FROM TRUMP’S PERSONAL ACCOUNT/BIDEN’S PERSONAL ACCOUNT” When #TwitterFiles reporters were given access to Twitter internal documents last year, we first focused on the company, which at times acted like a power above government.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

3. But Twitter was more like a partner to government. With other tech firms it held a regular “industry meeting” with FBI and DHS, and developed a formal system for receiving thousands of content reports from every corner of government: HHS, Treasury, NSA, even local police:

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

4. Emails from the FBI, DHS and other agencies often came with spreadsheets of hundreds or thousands of account names for review. Often, these would be deleted soon after.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

5. Many were obvious “misinformation,” like accounts urging people to vote the day after an election. But other official "disinfo" reports had shakier reasoning. The highlighted Twitter analysis here disagrees with the FBI about accounts deemed a “proxy of Russian actors":

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

6. Then we saw "disinfo" lists where evidence was even less clear. This list of 378 “Iranian State Linked Accounts” includes an Iraq vet once arrested for blogging about the war, a former Chicago Sun-Times reporter and Truthout, a site that publishes Noam Chomsky.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

7. In some cases, state reports didn’t even assert misinformation. Here, a list of YouTube videos is flagged for “anti-Ukraine narratives”:

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

8. But the bulk of censorship requests didn’t come from government directly.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

9. Asked if Twitter’s marketing department could say the company detects “misinfo” with help of “outside experts,” a Twitter executive replied:

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

10. We came to think of this grouping – state agencies like DHS, FBI, or the Global Engagement Center (GEC), along with “NGOs that aren’t academic” and an unexpectedly aggressive partner, commercial news media – as the Censorship-Industrial Complex.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

11. Who’s in the Censorship-Industrial Complex? Twitter in 2020 helpfully compiled a list for a working group set up in 2020. The National Endowment for Democracy, the Atlantic Council’s DFRLab, and Hamilton 68’s creator, the Alliance for Securing Democracy, are key:

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

12. Twitter execs weren’t sure about Clemson’s Media Forensics Lab (“too chummy with HPSCI”), and weren’t keen on the Rand Corporation (“too close to USDOD”), but others were deemed just right.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

13. NGOs ideally serve as a check on corporations and the government. Not long ago, most of these institutions viewed themselves that way. Now, intel officials, “researchers,” and executives at firms like Twitter are effectively one team - or Signal group, as it were:

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

14. The Woodstock of the Censorship-Industrial Complex came when the Aspen Institute - which receives millions a year from both the State Department and USAID - held a star-studded confab in Aspen in August 2021 to release its final report on “Information Disorder.”

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

15. The report was co-authored by Katie Couric and Chris Krebs, the founder of the DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Yoel Roth of Twitter and Nathaniel Gleicher of Facebook were technical advisors. Prince Harry joined Couric as a Commissioner.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

16. Their taxpayer-backed conclusions: the state should have total access to data to make searching speech easier, speech offenders should be put in a “holding area," and government should probably restrict disinformation, “even if it means losing some freedom.”

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

17. Note Aspen recommended the power to mandate data disclosure be given to the FTC, which this committee just caught in a clear abuse of office, demanding information from Twitter about communications with (and identities of) #TwitterFiles reporters. https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/Weaponization_Select_Subcommittee_Report_on_FTC_Harrassment_of_Twitter_3.7.2023.pdf

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

18. Naturally Twitter’s main concern regarding the Aspen report was making sure Facebook got hit harder by any resulting regulatory changes:

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

19. The same agencies (FBI, DHS/CISA, GEC) invite the same “experts” (Thomas Rid, Alex Stamos), funded by the same foundations (Newmark, Omidyar, Knight) trailed by the same reporters (Margaret Sullivan, Molly McKew, Brandy Zadrozny) seemingly to every conference, every panel.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

20. The #TwitterFiles show the principals of this incestuous self-appointed truth squad moving from law enforcement/intelligence to the private sector and back, claiming a special right to do what they say is bad practice for everyone else: be fact-checked only by themselves.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

21.While Twitter sometimes pushed back on technical analyses from NGOs about who is and isn't a “bot,” on subject matter questions like vaccines or elections they instantly defer to sites like Politifact, funded by the same names that fund the NGOs: Koch, Newmark, Knight.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

22. #TwitterFiles repeatedly show media acting as proxy for NGOs, with Twitter bracing for bad headlines if they don't nix accounts. Here, the Financial Times gives Twitter until end of day to provide a “steer” on whether RFK, Jr. and other vax offenders will be zapped.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

23. Well, you say, so what? Why shouldn’t civil society organizations and reporters work together to boycott “misinformation”? Isn’t that not just an exercise of free speech, but a particularly enlightened form of it?

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

24. The difference is, these campaigns are taxpayer-funded. Though the state is supposed to stay out domestic propaganda, the Aspen Institute, Graphika, the Atlantic Council’s DFRLab, New America, and other “anti-disinformation” labs are receiving huge public awards.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

25. Some NGOs, like the GEC-funded Global Disinformation Index or the DOD-funded Newsguard, not only seek content moderation but apply subjective “risk” or “reliability” scores to media outlets, which can result in reduction in revenue. Do we want government in this role?

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

26. Perhaps the ultimate example of the absolute fusion of state, corporate, and civil society organizations is the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO), whose “Election Integrity Partnership” is among the most voluminous “flaggers” in the #TwitterFiles:

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

27. After public uproar “paused” the Orwellian “Disinformation Governance Board” of the DHS in early 2020, Stanford created the EIP to “fill the gaps” legally, as director Alex Stamos explains here (h/t Foundation for Freedom Online). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbF2UXKV1q8

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

28. EIP research manager Renee DiResta boasted that while filling “gaps," the EIP succeeded in getting “tech partners” Google, TikTok, Facebook and Twitter to take action on “35% of the URLS flagged” under “remove, reduce, or inform” policies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtcK59lfjrU

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

29. According to the EIP’s own data, it succeeded in getting nearly 22 million tweets labeled in the runup to the 2020 vote.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

30. It’s crucial to reiterate: EIP was partnered with state entities like CISA and GEC while seeking elimination of millions of tweets. In the #TwitterFiles, Twitter execs did not distinguish between organizations, using phrases like “According to CIS[A], escalated via EIP.”

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

31. After the 2020 election, when EIP was renamed the Virality Project, the Stanford lab was on-boarded to Twitter’s JIRA ticketing system, absorbing this government proxy into Twitter infrastructure – with a capability of taking in an incredible 50 million tweets a day.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

32. In one remarkable email, the Virality Project recommends that multiple platforms take action even against “stories of true vaccine side effects” and “true posts which could fuel hesitancy.” None of the leaders of this effort to police Covid speech had health expertise.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

33. This is the Censorship-Industrial Complex at its essence: a bureaucracy willing to sacrifice factual truth in service of broader narrative objectives. It’s the opposite of what a free press does.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

34. Profiles portray DiResta as a warrior against Russian bots and misinformation, but reporters never inquire about work with DARPA, GEC, and other agencies. In the video below from @MikeBenzCyber, Stamos introduces her as having "worked for the CIA": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsooGvgLh7U

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

35. DiResta has become the public face of the Censorship-Industrial Complex, a name promoted everywhere as an unquestioned authority on truth, fact, and Internet hygiene, even though her former firm, New Knowledge, has been embroiled in two major disinformation scandals.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

36. This, ultimately, is the most serious problem with the Censorship-Industrial Complex. Packaged as a bulwark against lies and falsehood, it is itself often a major source of disinformation, with American taxpayers funding their own estrangement from reality.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

37. DiResta’s New Knowledge helped design the Hamilton 68 project exposed in the #TwitterFiles. Although it claimed to track “Russian influence,” Hamilton really followed Americans like “Ultra Maga Dog Mom,” “Right2Liberty,” even a British rugby player named Rod Bishop:

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

38. Told he was put on the Hamilton list of suspected “Russian influence” accounts, Bishop was puzzled. “Nonsense. I’m supporting Ukraine,” he said.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

39. As a result of Hamilton’s efforts, all sorts of people were falsely tied in press stories to “Russian bots”: former House Intel chief Devin Nunes, #WalkAway founder @BrandonStraka, supporters of the #FireMcMaster hashtag, even people who used the term “deep state”:

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

40. Hamilton 68 was funded by the Alliance for Securing Democracy, which in turn was funded by the German Marshall Fund, which in turn is funded in part by – the Department of State.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

41. The far worse scandal was “Project Birmingham,” in which thousands of fake Russian Twitter accounts were created to follow Alabama Republican Roy Moore in his 2017 race for US Senate. Newspapers reported Russia seemed to take an interest in the race, favoring Moore.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

42. Though at least one reporter for a major American paper was at a meeting in September, 2018 when New Knowledge planned the bizarre bot-and-smear campaign, the story didn’t break until December, two days after DiResta gave a report on Russian interference to the Senate.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

43. Internally, Twitter correctly assessed the Moore story as far back as fall of 2017, saying it had no way if knowing if the Moore campaign purchased the bots, or if “an adversary purchased them… in an attempt to discredit them.”

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

44. Twitter told this to reporters who asked about the story contemporaneously. Moreover, after the story broke, Twitter's Roth wrote: “There have been other instances in which domestic actors created fake accounts… some are fairly prominent in progressive circles.”

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

45. Roth added, “We shouldn’t comment.” Repeatedly in the #TwitterFiles, when Twitter learned the truth about scandals like Project Birmingham, they said nothing, like banks that were silent about mortgage fraud. Reporters also kept quiet, protecting fellow “stakeholders.”

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

46. Twitter stayed silent out of political caution. DiResta, who ludicrously claimed she thought Project Birmingham was just an experiment to “investigate to what extent they could grow audiences… using sensational news,” hinted at a broader reason.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

47. “I know there were people who believed the Democrats needed to fight fire with fire,” she told the New York Times. “It was absolutely chatter going around the party.”

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

48. The incident underscored the extreme danger of the Censorship-Industrial Complex. Without real oversight mechanisms, there is nothing to prevent these super-empowered information vanguards from bending the truth for their own ends.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

49. By way of proof, no major press organization has re-examined the bold claims DiResta/New Knowledge made to the Senate – e.g. that Russian ads “reached 126 million people” in 2016 – while covering up the Hamilton and Alabama frauds. If the CIC deems it, lies stay hidden.

@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi

50. In the digital age, this sprawling new information-control bureaucracy is an eerie sequel to the dangers Dwight Eisenhower warned about in his farewell address, when he said: “The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyZoUfNsUl8

Reminder: it’s quite conceivable Hunter Biden was a witting or unwitting intermediary for CIA activities in Ukraine to pry Ukraine’s gas market off of Russia. Conceivable CIA leaned on Justice Dept to avoid trial. Saying this bc of huge CIA-Burisma ties to censorship industry. https://t.co/jsUQ5XyqLG

@MikeBenzCyber - Mike Benz

Reminder: Hunter Biden joined the Burisma board in May 2014, just 1 month after the CIA-backed war in the Donbas broke out. Hunter Biden was on the Chairman’s Advisory Committee of NDI, a famous, WaPo-acknowledged multi-decade CIA-out.

@MikeBenzCyber - Mike Benz

On Burisma’s board w/ Hunter was Bush-era CIA director Cofer Black. Cofer Black won the CIA’s highest award for achievement. 30 years CIA + State Dept. Black advised Burisma on “security & development” corporate goals that happen to overlap w/ CIA strategic goals in the region.

@MikeBenzCyber - Mike Benz

Cofer Black has long been known as Mitt Romney’s “trusted envoy” to the world of CIA secrets & intrigue. Romney is a board member of IRI, the GOP side of the CIA cut-out NED, where NDI is the NED’s DNC wing. So Burisma’s board had CIA conduits from both DNC + GOP. Consensus.

@MikeBenzCyber - Mike Benz

Cofer Black joined Burisma in Feb 2017, 1 month after Burisma signed a partnership w/ the Atlantic Council to pump it up. Atlantic Council has 7 former CIA chiefs on its board. NED-funded. So a CIA-NATO consensus backed Burisma, then a CIA trusted envoy joined Hunter onboard.

@MikeBenzCyber - Mike Benz

In that 2014-2022 period in Ukraine, State Dept cut-outs were all pushing in clockwork unison for a plan that involved propping up (Burisma) & privatizing (Naftogaz) Ukrainian gas companies to US-UK stakeholders, thus weakening Gazprom, crippling Russia & winning the Donbas war.

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi

IN-Q-TEL serves as the CIA’s venture capital tool to promote technology development for the CIA, functioning in a way that a government agency might not be able to do. However did you know that In-Q-Tel is a not for profit 501c3? In its Form 990, In-Q-Tel makes it clear that it does not disclose its financials to the public, so where does the oversight of In-Q-Tel come from? The 990 states that: “IQT receives regular oversight from the CIA and other client agencies, who keep Congress informed of the company’s activities.” They oversee themselves, how convenient. They were early investors in Google, Facebook, Palantir, FireEye and Ginkgo Bioworks to name just a few. Many government agencies practice this, they are endowed by Congress to set up “non-profit foundations”so that they can receive “donations” from private individuals and industries. This is another way for these agencies who explicitly say they do not receive funds from the industries they regulate to do so while technically staying true to their mandates which make it illegal to do so. In other words Congress has allowed our regulatory agencies to be thoroughly compromised through “not for profit” vehicles. Let’s look at another foundation. The CDC Foundation https://iqt.org/how-we-work/ https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/522149962

The CDC Foundation is another example of this sneaky “public private partnerships”. Overall for 2023 they received $274.85 Million in “grants and donations”. This is in addition to the $10.65 Billion budget they received for 2023. Why does an agency that is already extremely well funded need a foundation so it can get another $274.85 Million from the private sector? It reeks of impropriety. Case in point. According to the CDC Foundations 2023 Form 990 the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation “donated” the following: -$2,791,302.00 for Pathogenic Paramyxovirus Replication in BSL-4 -$1,852,002.00 for Containment Biomarker Discovery through Serum Epitope Repertoire Analysis (SERA) -$1,277,615.00 Support for Inactivated Rotavirus Vaccine -$1,100,000.00 for Evaluation of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine -$552,233.00 for Schedule Change Evaluating the Impact of the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Intro in Indonesia - $512,815.00 for Evaluating HPV Vaccine Induced Antibodies in Botswana -$363,000.00 for Tobacco Control Surveillance in Africa: close-out -$202,881.00 for Impact of CDC-Tuberculosis Preventative This adds up to a Grand Total of $8,651,838 in 2023 alone.

The James F. and Sarah T. Fries Foundation a non-profit established in 1991 right after the CDC Foundation was green lit by Congress was another major “donor” with two donations coming in at $2,232,676.86 and $4,090,987.59. Meta formerly Facebook got in on the action with $5,031,500.00 for the “Emergency Response Fund”. The Moderna Charitable Foundation, Inc. (Moderna, Inc.

🚨It’s a lengthy interview, but it might be one of the most EYE-OPENING and RED-PILLED interview you’ll ever hear. This is Adamu Garba II, a Nigerian politician, discussing the impact of USAID on his country and other top recipients of the agency’s funding. Nigeria is a significant recipient of U.S. foreign aid, receiving $1.02 billion in 2023, much of it through agencies like USAID. People like us and so many, um, ordinary Africans, especially Nigerians, would be thinking that USAID is actually one of the most important organizations that assist in supporting healthcare, education endowment, and several civil society organization activities in Nigeria. In just FY 2023, Nigeria received almost $824 million in USAID funding. But then again, when the exposé came out and so many documents came to light, especially one critical document from the United States Army, called “Special Army Operation Forces,” it was revealed that USAID is used as a weapon of unconventional warfare, conventional warfare, and irregular warfare. This means that even though USAID is supposed to serve humanitarian, educational, and civil society causes, it is actually an operation of the United States Army. What they use it for is to carry out psychological and informational operations, creating situations that lead to irregularity, destabilization, confusion, and various states of unrest in most of the places where they operate. If you look at the list of the top 10 countries where USAID operates the most—from Ukraine at the top down to South Sudan—you will see that almost all these countries are in disarray despite the large amounts of money committed to them. Then you begin to question the $824 million invested in Nigeria in 2023. Where does it go? Are we sure that this money is not being used for unconventional and irregular warfare, designed to align us with the diplomatic, intelligence, financial, law enforcement, and economic programs of the United States of America? Is this funding ensuring that we remain under their control? Does this confirm the suspicion that USAID is one of the organizations responsible for fostering insurgency around the world? Is this why many of the countries where it operates are plagued with crises? That’s why I refer you to a document from the U.S. Army Special Operation Forces, called ARSOF. The document is available online, and it details various operations conducted under the guise of helping citizens with education endowments and primary healthcare challenges. In reality, these operations serve as a means to extract data and push forward further destabilization agendas. This is not my claim—it is information expressed by the United States government itself. That’s why I told you—just look at the top 10 countries that receive the most grants from USAID. None of these countries is at peace. None of them. Somalia, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan—these are the countries receiving funding, including Nigeria. Nigeria is listed as No. 7 among these countries.”

Wow! This sure is misleading AF…. you do realize people can just go to the website where all of this is listed and see exactly how money flows from the USAID to organizations, right? We can also see that the specific org both Lara and Flynn, and all these people actually, is the last one in a flow of money that leads through no less than 15 other orgs/agencies and even investment banks. At the top of each funding flow, it literally says: “Funding is fungible, meaning USAID dollars DO NOT DIRECTLY FLOW INTO these NGOs in a literal sense. Instead, the money moves through multiple layers, with various entities handling and redistributing it. Rather than focusing solely on individual grants or making definitive statements for how NGOs benefit from USAID, it’s more important recognize the broader pattern of funding distribution and influence, and getting rid of the layers of inaccountability.” By the time it got to Americas First, which is where your compensation numbers come from, it had flown through so many other groups/agencies/investment funds, the funding effectively has no connection to USAID, which is the exact point the website posting this info is making: far reaching Influence without any accountability. It says absolutely nothing about Americas First or any of the officers named in your little screen shot. Period. It took me less than 3 min to figure this out.

Did everyone else understand that Non Governmental Organizations, ie, NGOs, receive most if not all of their funding from the government, or was I just being ignorant? If NGOs receive most if not all of their funding from the government, what is the basis for calling them non-governmental? The answer according to Google is that an NGO is non-governmental because it operates without governmental control and oversight even though it receives government funding. Why is it beneficial for there to be non-profit organizations, that is NGOs, that receive all or substantially all of their funding from our government, but don’t have any government oversight or control? Non-profits are not known for having good governance. The combination of funding without oversight and control creates the opportunity for fraud, waste and abuse that we have seen in some of the USAID grants that have been made public in the last week or so. In the private markets, that is the real world, a majority shareholder would have control and oversight. Why do we allow our government to make majority investments without control and oversight? It makes no sense. It is time we scrutinize all NGOs and reconsider investing taxpayer money in private organizations without proper oversight and control consistent with what a majority investor would expect in a private corporation.

It is obviously an oxymoron to be a government-funded, non-governmental organization. They are simply an extension of government, but with less accountability and a false veneer of independence.

This has been planned over many generations. Notice the language: Recommendations of the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy. Remember the members of the Commission, including Fisk Johnson? Is anything published in Racine without Fisk and the Johnson family’s approval? What are “Communities in a Democracy?” What is the National Endowment for Democracy? Why Racine? Council for a Community of Democracies is a US-based organisation. "Drawing on the historical precedent of the American Revolution, and reacting to the worst century of war in human history, the first CCD began in 1979 as the Committees of Correspondence, uniting private citizens in many countries around an idea that later became the Committee for a Community of the Democracies (CCD). Its first president was James R. Huntley, who was about to publish his landmark book, Uniting the Democracies. Its mission was to advance a greater sense of unity and civilization among the world’s democracies — in a sense public diplomacy in reverse, the public educating its governments. Later presidents included American University Dean William E. Olson, Sam De Palma, former Assistant Secretary of State, and David Popper, former US Ambassador to Chile. "After the U.S. election in 1980, CCD set as its goal influencing the foreign policy of the new Reagan Administration. Two years later President Reagan made his famous speech at Westminster Hall armed with ideas provided by CCD, calling upon nations worldwide to promote democracy by fostering the infrastructure of democracy — free press, unions, political parties, and the rule of law. Later that year a CCD paper dealing broadly with the goal of a community of democracies led to endorsement by President Reagan of a bi-partisan American political foundation headed by Hon. William E. Brock “to determine how the United States can best contribute as a nation to the global campaign for democracy now gathering force.” The first international meeting of that foundation, held in November 1982, led to the “Declaration of London” calling for an association of democracies composed of all genuine democracies. "The next year President Reagan presented Congress with his “Project Democracy” and a request for $31 million earmarked for establishment of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). In 1985, NED provided funding for a major CCD conference in Racine, Wisconsin attended by 36 representatives from 26 countries. Opening with a letter from Reagan, the Wingspread conference adopted, among other resolutions, a proposal to establish a worldwide association of democracies and a proposal for a caucus of the democracies at the United Nations."

Can the Knight Legacy Lead to Sustainability Upon his return to the United States, Knight traveled to California with $5,000 won in crapshooting to contemplate going into the cattle business. Instead, he followed his father’s wishes, returned to Akron and became a ✏️sports journalist, writing under the pseudonym “Walker,” because, he confessed, “I was ashamed of the stuff. I didn’t write well enough.” Nevertheless, by 1925 John S. Knight was already managing editor of the Beacon Journal and upon his father’s death in 1933, in the depths of the Great Depression, he inherited the positions of editor and publisher, as well as ownership of the paper itself. ✏️ Along with E.W. Scripps, Frank Gannett, Robert McCormick, Joseph Pulitzer, and William Randolph Hearst, John S. Knight was one of a handful of men who led American journalism into one of its most questionable periods, when family-owned community-based papers were swallowed up by national media conglomerates. In 1937 Knight purchased the Miami Herald for $2 million, bought and closed down the Miami Tribune and Akron Times Press, and acquired control of the Detroit Free Press and Chicago Daily News. After merging with Ridder Publications, Inc. in 1974, Knight-Ridder became the largest newspaper publisher in the United States with media outlets in over 26 cities. It should be noted, however, that unlike the centralized management of the Hearst Corporation, John S. Knight believed that each paper should be largely managed within its own community. As the Knight media empire expanded, James L. Knight, John’s younger brother by 15 years, played an increasingly active part in the company’s financial management. According to an NY Times obituary, “James Knight … was the financial brain behind the partnership. John Knight was editorial director.” Source: MediaShift 2008

Warren Buffett's investment firm, Berkshire Hathaway, made significant investments in Gannett, a major newspaper publisher. In 1994, Buffett spent over $335 million to acquire a significant stake in Gannett, which at the time published 190 newspapers, including USA Today. Buffett's decision to invest in Gannett was based on his understanding of the newspaper business, which he had firsthand experience with as a paper boy, and his belief in the company's strong brand and regional monopolies. However, in 2013, Berkshire Hathaway sold off 1.7 million shares in Gannett, worth about $38 million, indicating a shift in Buffett's confidence in the company.

Let’s take another look at the SC Johnson’s, Cornell, and Art — There would be no Art in Embassies without Racine, Wisconsin. Hot Art, Cold War - Southern and Eastern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990 In 1963, Art: USA: Now, the traveling exhibitions of the Johnson collection, included Greece on its European itinerary. Athens was the second stop after London. As Michael L. Karen notes, “Edward R. Murrow, who was then director of the USIA … was particularly excited about the offer by S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc. (the floor wax giant) to send its large collection of contemporary American art around the world.” The exhibition of the Johnson collection was probably the last major event organized by the USIA/USIS until the 1980s, since, as noted earlier, the US authorities started focusing more on educational programs and because US aid was gradually undergoing significant budget cuts. These initiatives should be appraised in relation to the political developments in Greece, which were a cause for alarm to the US authorities, namely, the rise of EDA (the United Democratic Left Party). In 1958, the members of illegal political organizations that were disbanded at the instigation of the then banned communist party, joined EDA, which then became a mass party, and the opposition in the 1958 elections.

This has been planned over many generations. Notice the language: Recommendations of the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy. Remember the members of the Commission, including Fisk Johnson? Is anything published in Racine without Fisk and the Johnson family’s approval? What are “Communities in a Democracy?” What is the National Endowment for Democracy? Why Racine? Council for a Community of Democracies is a US-based organization. "Drawing on the historical precedent of the American Revolution, and reacting to the worst century of war in human history, the first CCD began in 1979 as the Committees of Correspondence, uniting private citizens in many countries around an idea that later became the Committee for a Community of the Democracies (CCD). Its first president was James R. Huntley, who was about to publish his landmark book, Uniting the Democracies. Its mission was to advance a greater sense of unity and civilization among the world’s democracies — in a sense public diplomacy in reverse, the public educating its governments. Later presidents included American University Dean William E. Olson, Sam De Palma, former Assistant Secretary of State, and David Popper, former US Ambassador to Chile. "After the U.S. election in 1980, CCD set as its goal influencing the foreign policy of the new Reagan Administration. Two years later President Reagan made his famous speech at Westminster Hall armed with ideas provided by CCD, calling upon nations worldwide to promote democracy by fostering the infrastructure of democracy — free press, unions, political parties, and the rule of law. Later that year a CCD paper dealing broadly with the goal of a community of democracies led to endorsement by President Reagan of a bi-partisan American political foundation headed by Hon. William E. Brock “to determine how the United States can best contribute as a nation to the global campaign for democracy now gathering force.” The first international meeting of that foundation, held in November 1982, led to the “Declaration of London” calling for an association of democracies composed of all genuine democracies. "The next year President Reagan presented Congress with his “Project Democracy” and a request for $31 million earmarked for establishment of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). In 1985, NED provided funding for a major CCD conference in Racine, Wisconsin attended by 36 representatives from 26 countries. Opening with a letter from Reagan, the Wingspread conference adopted, among other resolutions, a proposal to establish a worldwide association of democracies and a proposal for a caucus of the democracies at the United Nations."

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization in the United States founded in 1983 to advance democracy worldwide,[2][3][4] by promoting political and economic institutions, such as political groups, trade unions, free markets, and business groups. Upon its founding, the NED assumed some former activities of the CIA. Political groups, activists, and some governments have said the NED has been an instrument of United States foreign policy helping to foster regime change. Via @DenyTheMark2020

🚨🗳️ NED WANTS TO TAKE YOUR ABILITY TO VOTE, AND CALLS IT “DEMOCRACY” 🇺🇸🧠 You thought Romania overturning an election or Germany banning AfD was extreme? Well, the USA Uniparty NED is considering taking away MAGA Americans' ability to vote. This is not an exaggeration. NED published the idea to end universal suffrage for populists, so politicians like President Trump can never be re-elected. This idea is from Ghia Nodia, a National Endowment for Democracy (NED) fellow, published in their flagship journal. Again, NED is 100% financed with our taxpayer dollars and their board has sitting members of Congress from both parties. I will walk you through this incredible article... "Democracy’s Inevitable Elites" Journal of Democracy, Volume 31, Number 1, January 2020, pp. 75-87. Let's see the receipts below.👇

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

The problem with real democracy is that people might vote in ways globalists don't like, and that's exactly what this article tries to "fix." The article leads with the premise: "[Brexit criticism] rests on the assumption... that popular majorities are not competent to deal with some important issues... If the public lacks the wisdom to weigh the pros and cons of staying in the European Union, can it really be trusted to choose leaders? Many Americans... came close to saying that the people were not qualified to choose their own government." That is a polite way of asking: "Should the public still be allowed to vote at all?"

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

The solution? Taking away the ability to vote. Although Nodia says the idea is "taboo" - he also says in the same breath that the taboo is weakening. And NED did publish this. Quote: "So, if voters are truly incompetent (as they sometimes might be), no electoral mechanism will prevent them from making fatefully wrong decisions. Rejecting referendums is not enough: the natural next step would be questioning the very idea of universal suffrage. It is still taboo to voice overt support for such a move — though that taboo may be weakening." In other words, if you vote the "wrong" way--like for Brexit, Trump, or against EU integration--they may decide you don't deserve a vote at all.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

I have said this many times, but I need to say this again. This is not some obscure left-wing journal. This is the the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a U.S. government-funded organization that operates entirely on taxpayer money. Members of Congress sit on its board, yet it openly publishes material that questions whether universal voting rights should continue to exist. This is a 100% taxpayer-funded institution with bipartisan political backing, using its platform to circulate arguments suggesting the MAGA public may be too incompetent to vote.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

The article makes clear that democratic participation is only acceptable as long as it doesn't threaten the institutions... which, in practice, means the authority of leftist elites. Quote: "These passions are crucial for dismantling autocratic regimes... yet in established democracies, the same passions may threaten liberal values and erode institutions." Translation: Democracy is great... unless it disagrees with us. Then taking away others' ability to vote is fine.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

When people vote in ways elites dislike, it's labeled a "democratic deficit." This article argues, without irony, that the EU's design, which deliberately distances voters from decision-makers, is what keeps "democracy safe." No, this isn't satire. They mean it. Here's the quote: "The EU’s notorious ‘democratic deficit’... is not merely another technical problem... it is part of the original intent of the European framers. Although they did not state this explicitly... [they] deemed a certain distance between the rulers and the ruled to be necessary in order to keep democracy safe..."

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

Again, NED is funded entirely by U.S. taxpayers and overseen by members of Congress. NED is publishing material that questions universal suffrage, defends anti-democratic structures, and openly promotes the idea that voters are too dangerous to be trusted with power. Why hasn't NED and all its organizations been defunded, dismantled, and scattered to the wind already? How long are we going to bankroll an institution that sees the American people as the threat?

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

🚨 DECIPHERING NED DROP 1️⃣: WHAT IS? "DEMOCRATIC BACKSLIDING" 🗳️ The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a U.S. taxpayer-funded NGO with active members of Congress on its board. While it presents itself as a promoter of democracy, in practice it has long served as a front for the CIA, carrying out foreign influence operations that would be politically or legally unacceptable if done directly by U.S. intelligence. As I've documented extensively in threads and on Substack, NED also works closely with George Soros's network of NGOs and has largely adopted his ideological agenda, especially overseas. They publish an academic journal, NED Journal of Democracy, which is extremely revealing.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

The New World Order- that is, the world order that dominated since the Cold War- is based on the concept of "Open Society" versus "Closed Society." Peace and national security is not measured in terms of absence of war or violence, but in terms of how many countries are an "Open Society." It doesn't matter if a country elected their own leader in a democratic or peaceful way. If they are not an "Open Society," they are a "Closed Society" and thus an enemy. It is a binary worldview, binary mindset.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

Under the same binary worldview, assimilation of other nations as Open Societies is the top priority of foreign policy. Which means- pouring massive amounts of foreign aid into them (and NGOs). And military intervention if that fails, as with Afghanistan or Iraq.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

Remember, this worldview is strongly binary. They cannot suffer other opinions to exist. If you oppose foreign aid, or oppose military interventions for regime change, you are a member of a "Closed Society" and thus the enemy. This makes MAGA-style populism just as big a threat as Russia, if not worse.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

And this is the thrust of NED. They are ostensibly the CIA front and should be spending their time discussing other nations. But in reality, they spend as much time discussing how to handle dissident opinions in the USA as they do. They see MAGA as a national security threat.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

If this scares you, good. It should. This is what most of intelligence and Congress supports. This is the reason why our infrastructure crumbles, our health care system decays, SS goes bankrupt, but they keep insisting on sending foreign aid. They don't care about Americans because Americans are their enemy.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

Now, NED and other Open Society aligned groups have their own set of vocabulary. It will be through these drops that I will slowly decipher the vocabulary. Let's start off with the most simple- 99% of the time, they don't refer to themselves as "Open Society." Instead, it's "pro-democracy" or "Western."

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

With that in hand, we'll look at the first article of the day today... "Misunderstanding Democratic Backsliding", by Thomas Carothers and Brendan Hartnett, published in the Journal of Democracy, Volume 35, Number 3, July 2024. https://t.co/irSKV0JNoq

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

"Backsliding" is used a lot in these journals, especially when talking about the post-Trump United States. What does it mean? You might think it refers to things like election fraud, political violence, or coups. Sometimes it does. But just as often, "backsliding" is used to describe perfectly legal, democratic elections... simply because the winner isn’t to the liking of global elites, NGOs, or foreign-policy circles, including CIA/NED.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

Here's a quote which indirectly defines backsliding: "The onus for backsliding belongs on those leaders who gain power for a wide range of reasons... but then once in power relentlessly amass unconstrained power by overriding countervailing institutions and undercutting basic democratic norms and procedures." Note the keywords "overriding countervailing institutions." That's NED and Soros-speak for themselves. Backsliding happens when people elect populist, America-first leaders or vote against corruption.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

This is a definition that is used almost universally across universities, media, and foreign policy officials. They have effectively re-defined democracy to mean themselves and their network of NGOs. Trump's election and re-election means the United States is "backsliding." Doesn't matter if he was democratically elected- he is automatically an enemy of democracy because he isn't for Open Societies.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

Also from the article: "Backsliding is less about a failure of democracy to deliver than about a failure of democracy to constrain — that is, to curb the predatory political ambitions and methods of certain elected leaders." Translation: Democracy is backsliding when courts, media, NGOs, and bureaucracies fail to stop elected populists from exercising their mandate.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

Think a minute about what that means. NED / CIA is outright saying that in order to save democracy, you have to use anti-democratic approaches to subvert the will of the people. They're actively writing articles about how to take away our vote, how to ban the Republican party, and so on. As I've said many times, active members of Congress sit on NED. This is is what our politicians think of us. They hate us to their core.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

The article proposes a barrage of media coverage, NGOs, courts to stop backsliding. Sounds a lot like exactly what is happening today. https://t.co/g1Fd38y7ah

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)

🔥 Think about what this really means. NED is openly arguing that to "protect democracy," we must override democratic elections, weaken voter power, and use unelected institutions to block political outcomes they don't like. They are publishing articles on: 🔹Whether to end voting rights for populists, 🔹How to ban anti-establishment parties, and 🔹How to channel foreign money into media and NGOs that manipulate the political process. These strategies are being funded and implemented globally on your tax dollars, and it is also happening right here in the United States. Members of Congress sit on NED's board. This is how our political class thinks. Let it sink in: They do not want you to choose your leaders. And when you vote the "wrong" way, they call it backsliding, and look for ways to stop it. In short, they despise you. And if you despise them back, you are the threat to democracy. 🧨 This ends Drop 1️⃣, but more to come. 🧵end

*USAID funds ELECTION FRAUDSTERS like LARRY GARBER, who’s its MISSION DIRECTOR for the WEST BANK/GAZA PROGRAM and the CEO of NEW ISRAEL FUND, at the NATIONAL TASK FORCE ON ELECTIONS CRISES. (At NTFEC, Garber works with Mossad-tied 9/11 co-conspirators like Michael Chertoff [States United], ADL [Mossad] spies like Yasmin Green over at JIGSAW [Google] and NED terrorists like Rachel Kleinfeld [States United].) *Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department gives $315,000,000+ per year to the AIPAC (Mossad)-run terrorist organization known as National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which has Jules Kroll (9/11 co-conspirator) operative and Vatican “fixer” Juan Zarate (K2 Integrity Global Co-Managing Partner) as its Treasurer, and COVID/NATO/CNAS bioterrorist and election fraudster, Victoria Nuland as a member of its Board of Directors. (NED receives $350,000,000+ in annual federal [U.S. TAXPAYER] funding.)

USA's tax dodging 1% is 66% Jewish. USA's NGOS are the most robust funded surpassing anything given to the goyim. While Trump, Musk & co are slashing funds for vets and homeless and vets? The tax dodging 1% which happens to be Jewish in just the USA has stolen trillions using the US military, mercenary groups and NGOS as their foot steps in 'third world' governments.

Since 1960, the Global North has extracted $152 trillion from the Global South, quadrupling inequality. Philanthropy and foreign aid are presented as solutions, but for every $1 given, $14 is extracted. Critics argue that aid sustains colonial power structures, perpetuates the "white savior" complex, keeps countries in debt, and sets their agendas. Palestine, for example, has received $45 billion in aid since 1993, yet conditions have worsened because the aid did not address settler colonialism. Decolonization, undoing colonialism's political, social, economic, and psychological effects, is proposed as a solution. The debate is whether to overhaul the system or reform it from within, but investing in the sovereignty and self-determination of the Global South is a point of consensus. Structural problems require structural solutions, acknowledging the colonial nature of the world.

Speaker 0: Colonization didn't end, but changed form. $152,000,000,000,000 have been extracted from the global South by the global north since 1960. In that time, inequality has quadrupled between the two, and one of the scams we have been sold to fix this is philanthropy and foreign aid. For every $1 the global north gives the global South an aid, it extracts $14 in return. The aid and philanthropy industry is rife with criticism from sustaining these colonial power structures, perpetuating the white savior complex and gays, to keeping countries in debt and setting their agendas, to many others. For example, since 1993, Palestine has received 45,000,000,000 in aid, but things have only gotten worse because that money was never used to address the actual root causes of oppression, settler colonialism. So what's the answer to this? Many say decolonization, which is the process of undoing the effects of colonialism politically, socially, economically, and psychologically. In the context of foreign aid, the debate is whether you need to overhaul an inherently colonial system or if you can reform it from within. What seems to be a point of consensus is investing in the sovereignty and self determination of the global South. These structural problems need structural solutions and cannot be addressed without acknowledging the colonial nature of the world we live in.

All while these same traitors (Jews) rob Medicare/Medicaid programs blind, bribe nursing homes to foster the DEATHS of NON-JEWISH ELDERLY PATIENTS and fraudulently deny Medicare claims of AMERICANS using AI-based platforms with a ~90% fail rate as the pretext to deny (go against) patients’ primary healthcare provider prescriptions, treatments and recommendations under the guise of “treatment not medically necessary”. NOTE: This is done via their DIRECT COLLUSION with UJA-FEDERATION (Mossad), AIG/UHC/UHG/Optum, BCBS, Anthem, the ISRAELI MINISTRY OF HEALTH and its “FORMER” DIRECTOR GENERAL, EITAN HIYAM, so they can KILL AMERICAN NON-JEW PATIENTS (who’d otherwise SURVIVE) and use them as “ORGAN DONOR VESSELS” for JEWS all over the world — whom they quietly allow to SKIP THE LINES of AMERICAN ORGAN TRANSPLANT WAITLISTS and fly into and out of America for ORGAN TRANSPLANTS at a moment’s notice, as AMERICAN TAXPAYERS COVER 100% OF THE COSTS (all travel, organ transplant surgery, recovery, medications, etc.).

People say I talk about Soros too much, so let me explain exactly why. Soros the man is old, and frankly, not long for this world. What matters is the ideology he's spent decades building and embedding deep inside our federal institutions. That ideology says: the only path to "national security" is to force other countries to adopt globalist-style "democracies," whether they want it or not. The same policy elites who shape our foreign interventions abroad are also the ones wrote essays on how to keep Trump from winning again... openly, proudly, and using your tax dollars. They fly under the banner of "protecting democracy," but what they're really doing is suppressing populism, both here and abroad. Now look at the video below. Cold, hard data.

🔥💥 EXPOSED: Soros, the Deep State & the Shadow Network 💥🔥 Today, I launched a powerful new tool that indexes the National Endowment for Democracy journal... and here's what it uncovers: 🔍 Dozen-plus Open Society Foundation staff, funded by George Soros, are writing in a U.S. government-backed journal. 🇺🇸 That journal is part of our taxpayer-funded National Endowment for Democracy, a quasi-government operation tied to foreign "democracy" missions- and Congress sits on its board. No conspiracy theories. This is hard data. 📎 This proves Soros and our intelligence apparatus are deeply intertwined.

Speaker 0: So my daughter, Data Republican, released a tool which indexes the National Endowment for Democracy Journal. It aggregates all the authors, articles, and NGOs together. Here is the page for Open Society Foundation, which is George Soros. Now Data Republican has been saying that George Soros and the government work together, and this journal proves it. Remember, the National Endowment for Democracy is our government financed NGO, which does a lot of our intelligence operations, and we have congressional representatives sitting on there. You see the people here? These are all the authors in the journal who belong to the Open Society Foundation. So we have people who work for George Soros who are writing for this journal. You can see there are many, many Open Society Foundation people writing for this journal. Now these are the articles in the journal where Open Society Foundations is mentioned. You see how many mentions there are? Again, this is a quasi government publication. This is not a conspiracy theory. This proves our government is very deeply involved with George Soros. He is a deep insider within our intelligence community.

More importantly, note the AFL-CIO sponsorship. AFL-CIO through the quasi-governmental "Solidarity Center" NGO is one of our core "soft power" NGOs. Bluntly: AFL-CIO is one of the key taxpayer-funded organizations in effecting regime change all over the world. That AFL-CIO is openly involved in sponsoring the No Kings rally should raise extreme concerns as to the rally's true purpose.

Did you know that Rachel Kleinfeld -- who publicly led the charge to arrest Trump, mass arrest Trump supporters, bankrupt pro-Trump conservative news orgs with lawfare, and coerce social media to censor your speech -- is, right now, as we speak, on the board of directors at NED?
