US used fake Twitter accounts for psyops

 PJ Media:

The latest Twitter Files drop shows us that the feds were using fake accounts on Twitter for psyop and propaganda purposes in the Middle East, and Twitter allowed it to happen, despite testifying to Congress that they would not.

Rather than thwart these state-run accounts, Twitter gave blue checks and “whitelist” status to 52 Arab-language accounts at the request of the Department of Defense (DoD).

FACT-O-RAMA! The Twitter propaganda network was used against Russia, China, and other countries. It was also used to spread the lie that Iran was planning to poison Iraq’s water with crystal meth.

Like every other Twitter Files drop, this one can be hard to follow, especially considering that thousands of people respond to each tweet.

Here are some takeaways from Twitter Files, Pt. VIII:

  • One of the fake accounts used an AI-generated fake image of a supposed user as its profile pic.
  • Though Twitter allowed the DoD to keep fake profiles operating, it shut down propaganda profiles from countries such as Venezuela, Thailand, and Russia.
  • Twitter assisted the Pentagon for at least five years.
  • Some of the fake DoD accounts promoted U.S.-supported militia fighters in Syria. One now-deleted account spread news that drone strikes killed terrorists but not civilians.
...

It should not be surprising that Twitter was also helping Democrats' shut down relevant information in this country too.  It was their propaganda device too.

Leaked Email Alleges Contact Between Hobbs, Twitter Staff to Censor ‘Election Related Misinformation’

...

 According to reports, the internal Twitter emails reveal that Arizona Democratic Gov.-elect and current Secretary of State Katie Hobbs allegedly teamed up with former Twitter staffers and executives to flag certain users and accounts. The bombshell revelation comes on the heels of Twitter boss Elon Musk, via journalist Matt Taibbi last week, revealed internal company communications showing the platform worked with the Democratic Party to censor conservatives

 Cleansing Twitter’s Augean Stables

Even if he steps down as the platform’s CEO, Elon Musk has already struck a resounding blow for free speech.

 However clouded Twitter’s future may be at this point, Elon Musk has accomplished a seismic shift in the media world by exposing the old regime’s left-leaning roots and its propensity for covert censorship. If both faults can be remedied, the new Twitter has at least a shot at becoming a global forum for neutrally moderated free speech and discussion.

...  Turns out that not only was the FBI pressuring Twitter to censor things, but according to the files, Twitter was getting paid for it by the FBI. So if you were talking about acting as an arm of the state — and making bank in the process — the new release nails them to the wall.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
