We in alternative media have known about the manipulation of online content for a long time. We’ve talked about it and been called crazy conspiracy theorists for doing so.

Within the past two weeks, however, our complaints were validated when Elon Musk gave a few selected journalists access to huge amounts of data from Twitter, proving definitively how much federal agencies have been involved in the moderation of social media.

The fact is, an unholy goverment-corporate alliance has all but destroyed free speech and deployed a psy-op on the American people.

While Daisy wrote about the Twitter files previously, there are still a few things that I wanted to highlight.

We first learned how visibility was manipulated to fit an agenda.

Twitter’s staff is lousy with former FBI agents.

Security clearances are supposed to be a big deal. If you want a career requiring top security clearances, government representatives interview your family, friends, and even prior roommates to get a feel for what kind of person you are. They find out about what stupid stuff you did in college, how much international travel you’ve done, your foreign contacts, any dirty habits you might have that people could potentially blackmail you over, and above all your loyalty to the U.S. government. Security clearance is supposed to be something the government takes supremely seriously, and the FBI issued temporary clearances to the social justice warriors at Twitter?

And maybe they did think twice about it, because by August 2020, Twitter had hired so many former FBI agents that they had their own group within Twitter. Shellenberger provides a great deal of evidence about the increasingly close contact between the FBI and Twitter. Not only has the FBI given Twitter over $3 million since 2019, Twitter’s top executives are full of former FBI employees, as the New York Post recently reported.
Our military is also heavily involved with Twitter.

In Part 8, Lee Fang details the relationship between the U.S. military and Twitter. For years, Twitter had been committed to avoiding interference by state actors. In 2018, they closed accounts related to Russian propaganda efforts. In 2020, they closed almost 1000 accounts associated with the Thai military. The U.S. military has not been so scrutinized; fabricated accounts using deep fakes have been allowed, as long as they serve American interests.

And in a way this isn’t completely unreasonable; Twitter is an American company. Malign foreign actors such as ISIS do recruit online and it is not unreasonable that we would want to counter that kind of activity.

We’re all victims of a legalized psy-op.
