RT ✨Saurosaur✨ (@Nud3ants)A Benz 🧵 on the Censorship Industrial Complex and the Joaquin Castro/NED connection. ...

23) So I hope that explains how someone like Castro is on NED’s board. NED recruited him after 6 years of his censorship advocacy, then he sponsored bills in Congress as a NED director to pump more money into NED’s global censorship projects. A case study of how the scam works. ...

22) So once again, Castro's bill for Congress to up censorship funds & push gov't agencies to increase censorship ops was a NED Sandwich. Castro (NED board) pushes, DFR Lab (NED President-run) implements, flaggers like Comprova (NED-funded) get the money.https://t.co/vsurSJMVlXMike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber):Take this 45 mins of your life now to watch this segment from last week's stream for my X subscribers and you will never have to wonder that question ever again. https://t.co/xQOi8BMJAh ...

21) NED's President & CEO Damon Wilson was the boss of the Atlantic Council DFR Lab as it directly, literally, led the biggest election censorship operation in the history of humanity: the throttling of millions of posts & accts ahead of the 2020 electionhttps://t.co/TYYiGG6PbDMike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber):@joerogan 11. 100% of the "repeat misinformation spreaders" DHS moved to censor during the 2020 election cycle were pro-Trump. They even openly referred to Trump as "The Death Star Of Disinformation" while t ...

20) You'll notice that NED board member Castro, in his House Intelligence Committee bill, cites to Congress that the Atlantic Council DFR Lab is the ultimate independent expert to defer to on mis/disinformation. Well, the boss of the DFR Lab is the President & CEO of NED. https://t.co/QnGfGySHsm ...

19) And lo and behold, the same heat map of Spanish-speaking countries NED targeted for censorship ops were lobbied by Castro to pump censorship funds into. In all the below countries on Castro's censorship hit list, the targets were Trump-aligned movements or gov'ts at the time https://t.co/ensBbQyt4k ...

18) As NED was leading the coordinated attack on social media companies in these LatAm countries to force them to censor any speech supportive of a gov't or movement there Biden's CIA opposed, in stepped NED board member Castro from Congress to push more censorship funding there https://t.co/DoOe9iNVgm ...

17) NED's journal stressed the need for a more robust Spanish-language Censorship Industrial Complex, since from 2016-2020 most censors only spoke English & lacked the funds and ability to censor Spanish too. Spanish posts needed to be censored to rig elections in South America. https://t.co/4N5BvId7ID ...

16) While NED's censorship tech developer Meedan was censoring US elections, it received nearly $6 million in tax dollars from the Biden admin to censor "misinformation" and build a "claims and memes database" to pre-censor the sharing of memes on social media & in private chats https://t.co/9s2VEP7Vjr ...

15) I don't know if you caught that, but as I've illustrated with thousands of receipts, NED was created by the CIA, and thru NDI, NED's DNC arm, the CIA wing of the Democrat party directly partners with a censorship tech firm that censors US electionshttps://t.co/DeB5rWVWHL https://t.co/qU7k8EJxHUMike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber):The year before NED was created, the head of the CIA wrote to the head of the Justice Department, pressing him to support NED, while noting it was important to conceal the CIA's secret r ...
