Video Transcript AI Summary

One of the 8,376 Department of Treasury employees launched an investigation into me the day I released one of the Twitter files. Months later, while I was testifying, some of those same employees made an unannounced visit to my home, even though they owed me money. A judge ruled that political appointees can't access certain information, but thousands of government employees can. USAID is involved in censorship efforts, too, using information operations to manipulate the media. They train NGOs to flag misinformation and strategically leak intelligence to control the news process. The values of Western civilization, like free speech, are worth fighting for. I have lived in countries where speaking your mind can send you to prison, and now I'm seeing that happen in the West. If we can't settle our disputes with debate, the alternative is frightening.

Speaker 0: Mister Taybeh, do you have any idea how many people work at the United States Department of Treasury? Oh, I don't. I'm sorry. 108,376. And part of the Department of Treasury, of course, is internal revenue service. Is that right? Yes. It is. Yeah. Big park, frankly. Big park. Thousands of people work there too. And on 12/24/2022, '1 of those 8,376 employees at the Department of Treasury decided they were gonna start an investigation into you. Is that right? Yes. That's my understanding. And that just happened to coincide with the day you did one of the Twitter files, One of them Portland. I think it might maybe in the second one if I'm second or third. But one of those important Twitter files. Is that right? Yes. It was. It was And then a few months later, you're sitting in that same seat testifying in front of this committee. And the very time you're testifying, another one, there's a 8,376 people knocked on your door, unannounced visit to your home, which, by the way, they've discontinued because of this issue and a bunch of other crazy things they were doing. Is that right? That's right, mister chairman. And just for the record, they actually owed you money. Right? You didn't do anything wrong. Is that is that accurate? They did. They owed me quite a lot of money. Yeah. Okay. I just wanna make that clear. But, obviously, a way to intimidate someone who is focusing on this issue we're discussing today. Right? Yes. We just got an we just got an order from a judge. The judge in the Southern District Of New York said that no political appoint appointees or special government employees can have access to information. A 8,376 people can have access to information, but the people the president of The United States selects. The guy was elected by 77,000,000 people. He can't preliminary enjoining the a preliminary injunction against the defendants during dependency of this from granting any political appointees, special government employees, from any access to that information. I just I don't know about you, mister Selenberg. I find that kinda troubling. 8,000 people can do it, at least one of them, Christmas Eve. We got a federal government employees working hard on Christmas Eve, probably remotely working, going after mister Taibbi, but the president of The United States can't have people go in and look and see if we can save some money for the taxpayers. He can't do that according to this judge. You think that makes sense, mister Scelberger? Speaker 1: It doesn't. I mean, my understanding is that the president controls executive branch and Speaker 0: the executive branch. Article two, section one, very first sentence. Executive power shall be vested in the present not the. In a president of The United States Of America. First sentence. Yep. Yeah. But this judge says, no. No. No. We gotta trust the bureau. This is the fundamental issue. You trust the unelected bureaucrats, I think what mister Tiffany and mister McClintock, or do you trust the guy who was elected by the people? And that's that that's where I would rather put our trust in the people who they put in office to do these kind of things. Now you mentioned earlier, mister I'm gonna jump around here and try to get to all of you. Mister Schellenberger, you mentioned that USAID, which has been in the news of late, spending, taxpayer money and all kinds of stupid things, is also involved in the censorship effort. And I want you to just elaborate on that a little bit because this is going on as we speak. I want you to elaborate on that for the committee, if you would. Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I think it's important to understand that USAID viewed this very holistically. And it's important that if you look at the Hunter Biden laptop case, which is an extremely important case to understand because the FBI was weaponized, then it weaponized the Aspen Institute to brainwash the entire media, it wasn't just that they censored it. It was that they changed the perception of the laptop. They they they they created the perception that it was something other than what it obviously was. And that's what these guys are trying to do. These are called information operations. And USAID has been in the process of taking over so called independent investigative journalism around the world, and at the same time then, training NGOs how to demand censorship. For example, mister Aaron's organization has been working to train organizations to so called flag misinformation behind the scenes. By the way, it's one thing to criticize somebody publicly, which we should all be engaged in. Yeah. Speaker 0: But this Speaker 1: thing where you're skulking around You do that all the time. Secretly yeah. That's that's what that's what OpenDemocracy is. This thing of going out and, like, secretly flagging information behind the scenes and demanding censorship, that is such a that's completely an abomination. That is not what I was talking about. Speaker 0: Clear. You you're saying USAID, your investigation is now engaged in this prebunking kind of concept and and and process that they did with the laptop story in the fall of twenty twenty. Speaker 1: And it's the exact same approach as well, where often what they're doing, for example, with USAID, OCCRP, is that they're they're leaking intelligence Speaker 0: from the Speaker 1: intelligence agencies, in a very and not like WikiLeaks where they just dumped it, I think, probably too much without without the proper redactions. But they're strategically leaking it and then manipulating places like The Guardian and The New York Times to publish certain stories and control the whole investigative news process. Speaker 0: And we saw this from from Yolrof's testimony. He testified during these weekly meetings that they communicable. Federal law enforcement communicated to us there was gonna be hack and leak operations before the presidential election, likely in in October. We had these so that what's gonna happen, when it's gonna happen, and then they said here who it's gonna involve, that the rumors that the hacker leak operation would involve Hunter Biden. So they set them all up. And then to say them, they'd set them all up because they had the laptop and they knew what was coming. And when it happens, everyone buys into what the 51 former intel officials say. That's right. Mister Zuppramanian, I wanna give you the last word. RFK, I just want you to I appreciate the historical perspective you brought when you testified last congress, but one of the statements that stuck with this last congress was actually a statement made by RFK Junior When he said, when you look at history, it is never the good guys who were for censorship. And that's what we're trying to keep in mind and stop it from both sides, from all sides. We just don't we want the first amendment. I'll give you the last thirty seconds here to respond. Absolutely. Speaker 2: I mean, as as you mentioned earlier, and when I was here the last time, I think it was a throwaway comment to a representative. It was not even part of my testimony. I don't think so. And I said, the values of Western civilization are worth fighting for, going back to the enlightenment and the reformation. That is what gave us free speech. That's what distinguishes us from the rest of the world. And the first amendment in America distinguishes America from the rest of the world. I come from India originally. I live in Canada. I'm from Canada. But I've lived in India. I've lived in The Middle East. I've lived in places where just speaking your mind can send you to prison. You cannot criticize anything that goes against the government or certain religions for that matter. And when I came to the West, it was, you know, refreshing to finally be able to express myself. And, unfortunately, unfortunately, what I left behind has come to me in Canada, has followed me to Canada. And I'm seeing that happening in The United States. And it's very worrying because it's happened so quickly, and I don't know where this is gonna lead us to. Speaker 1: Yeah. If we if Speaker 0: we can't settle our disputes with debate, the alternative is frightening, and we never wanna get there. So I appreciate all of you. I appreciate the the from both sides. I mean, we we we wanna embrace the first minute.
