Are the Twitter Files a Limited Hangout? Looks that way.

"A limited hangout or partial hangout is, according to former special assistant to the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Victor Marchetti, "spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further."

Could it be that Twitter is actually an intelligence apparatus and propaganda tool?

Tucker Carlson hits the bullseye in a late show segment discussing the framework of the Twitter social media company. Stunningly, Carlson is the first person to ask the question that we have outlined for years, it is the essence of how Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop evolved.

"Jack's Magic Coffee Shop" is CTH author's metaphor for Jack Dorsey's Twitter.

(1) James Baker, former lawyer for the FBI, was recently fired by Elon Musk.

(2) But, more than a dozen intel officials remain at Twitter. (I'll see if I can retrieve a link to the article on this.)

(3) If Twitter is now freed from being a platform for the intelligence community and operating openly as a free speech platform, why hasn't Google and Apple removed Twitter from their app store, thereby destroying it like they did to Parler?

Exclusive: Bari Weiss didn't name too many names in #TwitterFiles part II, but she did detail how Twitter's Strategic Response Team carried out secret actions to stifle conservative accounts (like Libs of TikTok). Jeff Carlton, who worked on that team & now heads it, previously did work for both the CIA & FBI.

He deleted his LinkedIn as soon as Twitter Files Part II dropped. But I have an archive. https://archive.vn/2CCw9

Tucker Carlson has reported that Musk was asked how many are still at Twitter. He didn't answer.

Elon Musk half-delivered on his promise to tell all about Twitter’s censorship of The New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election. What was missing were details of specific warnings we know the FBI made to Twitter about a Russian “hack and leak operation” involving Hunter during their weekly meetings with top executives of the social media giant in the days and weeks before The Post published its exclusive bombshell.

It is not known whether Musk has withheld material in Twitter’s records after an intense pressure campaign from President Biden, the White House, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and threats that Big Tech compatriots Apple and Google would banish Twitter from their app store.

The Deep State masquerading as the right's narrative is: Elon Musk is not doing enough!

Again, I see you, Deep State...

Not saying YOU Dhyana, are deep state, but these are the agent provocateur arguments the Deep state is trying to infuse in the right to take down Elon Musk since apparently swinging from the left has not worked...

...um, and how did we get the receipts? Did we get them through the tireless work of the fearless right, including the millions that give a fly and Miranda Devine? Isn't it because the alleged double agent Elon Musk released these receipts through Twitter, his alleged tool of the DHS, CIA and FBI?

That sounds like a brilliant plan! Oh, Let me give my enemies ammunition against me, ammunition they would not otherwise get.

No, I am not buying your conspiracy theory, but of course you are free to indulge in it.

BREAKING: Following the #TwitterFiles, AFL [America First Legal] has obtained new documents uncovering a secret Twitter portal U.S. Govt officials used to censor dissenting COVID-19 views and violate the First Amendment.

On whether this secret portal has been shut down, Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch tweeted:

Tonight, @ElonMusk said he would look into status of special "portal" for feds and others to censor Americans on @Twitter.

I said it a year ago and I’l say it again because it’s even truer now: the real division today is no longer left/right, liberal/conservative, or Democrat/Republican. It is between those who will accept a technocrat biosecurity surveillance regime and those who will resist.

Matt Taibbi Discusses Ongoing ‘Big Picture’ Review of Twitter Files

---

quote:

---

During a podcast Matt Taibbi describes the big picture takeaway of the data they have been permitted to review so far.

Interestingly, Taibbi notes the silo effect within Twitter as the division in charge of taking action on requests is not necessarily the division that receives the requests. There is an inflection point between two silos. Taibbi notes the current data set does not include access to the inbound requests and instructions from government officials, they are limited to only seeing what happens after the request is received.

---

It's interesting that the spotlight in these Twitter revelations is on the communications and actions of Twitter, but the communications of DHS/FBI are omitted - now confirmed by Taibbi. The latter would be contained in the portal as the direct conduit between DHS/FBI and Twitter.

Musk says he's "looking into" the existence of this portal and whether it's been shut down. We'll see.

"4. Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth."

"5. Some are mundane, like San Francisco agent Elvis Chan wishing Roth a Happy New Year along with a reminder to attend “our quarterly call next week.” Others are requests for information into Twitter users related to active investigations."

"6. But a surprisingly high number are requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts."

Including the lie "Russian disinformation" and the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop?

#25 indicates the FBI shared classified information with Twitter. No details given.

"25.The Twitter exec writes she explicitly asked if there were 'impediments' to the sharing of classified information 'with industry.' The answer? “FBI was adamant no impediments to sharing exist."
