Old Structural Devils: DHS’ Redundant Censorship & Surveillance ISEs Central to COVID-19 Governance Plan
Newest Installment of #TwitterFiles reveals central planning for Information Sharing Environments and the Senate Intelligence Committee's role in greenlighting the infrastructure.
Please try to imagine with me, being the fly on the wall of a Zoom connected Senate Intelligence Committee meeting during the height of the US Covid Pandemic in the transition bridge between 2020 and 2021. These meetings are almost like indoctrination sessions in-and-of themselves. Whatever your privacy hackles might have been for Chinese applications of Zoom technology, these committee meetings typically take place behind closed doors, for 1 – 2 hours. They meet twice weekly with top US Intelligence officials from the sprawling DNI agency tree.
These eight special people, decided all by themselves, with the help of forceful intelligence crisis agency actors, that we should finance an illegal, unconstitutional, emergency psychological operation aimed directly at the American people using part of the $1 trillion COVID pandemic budget.
Of course, the public didn’t know this is what the money was for.
IT WAS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA.
In this week’s #TwitterFiles drop from Matt Taibbi, we learned that it is no longer enough to have a yawning Intelligence Complex, to include: DNI contractors from any number of paramilitary consensuses, intelligence insight gathering agencies, political opposition research firms and data brokerages, like Palantir. They just had to have US social media.
DHS’ Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) grant program pays private NGOs, technology companies and individual organizations to produce actionable intelligence and to take orders from CISA once they are on the grant payroll. CISA produced an elaborate Misinformation, Disinformation & Malinformation How-To-Report-Your-Uncle Guide and purchased a $5 million central repository software for State, local and tribal accounts. This likely included HSIN grant recipients, to produce “tattles”, as they were dubbed at Twitter. CISA was an absolute high maintenance bee in Yoel Roth’s bonnet, as speech purist pests. This included reinvigorated employment of a formerly defunded, and still ineffectual US Fusion Centers.
The FBI, a Department of Justice criminal law enforcement agency, was intended to be the centralized node now known as “The Belly Button” to thread through all domestic intelligence gathering from Twitter. It is more than implied that speech violations were being played at very heavily as pre-crime sourcing, profiling non-criminal speech as though it were crime. Even though, there is not a court in this country who could prosecute a US citizen or resident for online speculation about COVID 19, making a joke or vocally refusing a vaccine based on medical history.
The FBI also asked Twitter to quash satire.
US State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), emerged as a domestically directed intelligence agency in February of 2020. The GEC wedged a “Russian Disinformation” narrative in order to control US speech online. One of their tools was a kind of shaming coercion at Twitter. To paraphrase, the GEC said they would tell the US public Twitter didn’t go along with their wishes to pull down private American accounts based on COVID. This terrified their simp at Twitter, Yoel Roth. While their presence and agenda was clearly perceptible, it is important to state the American people are not in any way beholden to conform to speech mandates from the US State Department, a foreign service agency to US citizens abroad. They have no enforcement powers over the American person. They were simply paid by our government to terrorize weak, myopic tech workers at social media companies into performative PR for them.
Facebook, a competing rival in the social media space, became a point of triangulation for journalists who seemed too close to the source. This became the means for Senator Mark Warner to brand himself right into infamy.
SO WHAT DID WE REALLY LEARN?
While DHS was being raked over the coals BY THE PUBLIC in late Spring for Nina Jankowicz’ cable news spectacle of her proposed approaches for misinformation and disinformation, Twitter was already working with an entire broad spectrum intelligence demand from DHS, the US State Department, the FBI, the CIA, NSA and relative agencies in the DNI tree.
Decisions like these indicate a leadership that is managing the country’s resources into irrelevancy. To ban Americans from their voluntarily adopted social media accounts at the request of the US government is shameful. There is no way our taxes are paying to represent our interests in these cases. There shall be no taxation without representation. Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of US speech.
DHS needs to stop this HSINful behavior. The DHS, DNI and the State Department need to stop paying Americans to report the legal online behavior of other Americans to the government.
Tell them to stop.

Good article, Sheila. For me, the lesson here is what I’ve long known: the Constitution is just a scrap of old paper at this point and none of these governmental agencies have any legitimacy. They have power, but that’s it. What we can do about it is beyond me.
