Intel community seduces Twitter
By Terry A. Hurlbut
Yesterday afternoon, Matt Taibbi released two more Twitter Files threads. The first concerned the intelligence or “intel” community and how it frankly seduced Twitter. The intel types accomplished this by the oldest method known to tyrants: convince the other person that an external enemy exists and is manipulating them. Twitter staff had a double incentive, because they did not like who won the Election of 2016. But the tale of this seduction goes beyond a rogues’ gallery of professional spooks. It includes at least one United States Senator.
How the intel community did it
As ever, no one can properly understand any Twitter Files thread without some background. During the 2016 election campaign, Vladimir Putin made several splashes in American and worldwide news. He declared George Soros persona non grata – and issued a warrant for his arrest should he set foot in Russia. Naturally that provoked Soros to use all the tame media he had at his command. The result was the narrative of modern and definitely post-Communist Russia as the enemy of the rest of civilization. Then Putin did one better: he abruptly canceled a trip abroad and issued a ukase that all his people should arm themselves. And he named Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for President, as the enemy of Russia and Russians.
Against nearly all odds and predictions, Trump won the election. Hillary Clinton, dumbfounded and infuriated, refused to accept it. She has consistently refused to accept defeat and maintains to this day that the Russians put Trump in power. More to the point, the Democratic Party at the time answered to the Clinton Foundation and Machine.
Bear this in mind as you read Twitter Files Part 11.

Earlier installments of the Twitter Files showed that Twitter behaved like a State actor. This thread now shows how Twitter became a State actor, and when that happened in earnest.
CNAV’s latest contributor has shown that this behavior is legally actionable. What, then, possessed Twitter to acquiesce in these obviously unlawful and unconstitutional orders? Two things. First, all the pressure on Twitter was pressure to censor and report – i.e., snitch. Second, Twitter staff were simpatico with the basic theory.
Indeed, Twitter staff had two motives to cooperate with the intel community in the service of a shared ideology. First, they hated Trump, and many of them (most no longer with the company) still do, and indeed always will. Second, the Russian Federation represents everything they despise, and a threat to everything they hold dear. Russia is a civilizational state, the last kind of state that would ever acquiesce in rule by a one-world government. Furthermore, Russia stands against “woke” values, including alternative lifestyles, and for civilizational values, like religion and moral virtue. And – the kicker – Russia encourages its own people to arm themselves. The American left believes that no person, except a law-enforcement officer, an active-duty military, a Very Important Person, or his bodyguard, should own, carry, or so much as touch, much less discharge, a firearm.
The intel community are our enemies
For all those reasons, the American people must consider its intel community to be its enemies. George Washington was right: government is a dangerous servant and a fearsome master. This government became our masters. The release of the Twitter Files, especially this latest thread, opens the way to reclaim our freedom.
