Documents obtained by The Intercept prove that Department of Homeland Security has been censoring stories with the help of social media outlets in a big way. You wanna know who the big players are? These two women right here. One of them, one of them is with the government. The other one right here we think is working for Twitter. No, she's working with the government and they're making arrangements for the CIA, the FBI, whatever the agency is of the day, to tell them what they can and can't put on social media. This story, I urge everybody, everybody should read this story. It's by Lee Fang.
And Ken Klippenstein.
And Klippenstein, exactly. Both of them are extremely talented journalists.
Amazing, yeah.
From The Intercept. I think, I think they're two of the really talented journalists of our time, investigative, along with people like Matt Taibbi. They uncovered it, didn't they?
They did. And, and just so to give everybody the background here, what we've got starting in 2018, the government with the best of intentions says, well we gotta do something about foreign misinformation. So they give the Department of Homeland Security all of this power. They create what is essentially a disinformation board, although it didn't have that name yet.
So propaganda board.
Yeah. So they said, look, all we're trying to do social media outlets, we just wanna make sure that you guys know and have the tools to root out this foreign information. Oh, also keep an eye out for terrorists because we've always gotta be on the lookout for that. And then within two years, again, it started in 2018, within two years, this thing had ballooned into, oh, well we gotta fight Covid misinformation. Noble cause, give them that. There was a ton of misinformation about Covid. And then things went completely off the rails because their true intentions came out. Now you can't talk about Hunter Biden. You can't talk about Ukraine. You can't talk about Afghanistan. These are all in the documents from the Homeland Security.
Okay. Let me, let me be more specific about that. You can talk about Afghanistan, but you can't talk about the screw up of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. You can talk about Ukraine, but people who disagree with the fact that we should not, people who agree we should not be there at all, the, the government says no, we're gonna censor that. And it's you, you can talk about Covid, but, or the vaccine. But you can't talk about the fact that it may be, it's not efficacious in some situations. So here it is, Vijaya Gadde, this is this woman right here with Twitter meets with, what's her Laura Dem, Dehmlow, Laura Dehmlow with the government. And they have an arrangement and the arrangement is a portal that the government can actually use and change the stories or actually censor the stories. Did, did I get that right?
You, you did. They even, I mean literally in the piece here, they have the website that the government goes to to log in to their back end of Facebook to go in there. That you, you're not talking hyperbole. They literally have the website right here.
And, and you're not talking about, you're not talking about supposition because they have the documents.
Right.
Lee Fang, they actually got the documents.
Well, and here's the, here's the scariest part too. Okay. So you've got Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Verizon Media. They're having monthly meetings, currently still, monthly meetings with the FBI, the CIA and the CISA.
Yeah.
So they're still meeting.
Talk, talk about what the CISA. Viewers may not know what.
Yeah.
