25/ In effect, the left was allowed to discuss the vulnerabilities of voting machines after the 2016 election, and the right was banned from social media platforms for discussing those very same vulnerabilities after the 2020 election.

15/ In October 2018, Starbird told her Facebook followers to vote Democrat to hold Trump responsible for "corruption and collusion" and his "racist, anti-LGBT agenda." Starbird claimed Trump's “nationalism” didn’t stand for “patriotism” but instead stood for “white supremacy."

16/ Kate Starbird heads CISA's disinformation advisory panel with Vijaya Gadde, the recently fired top lawyer at Twitter, who famously banned the former President and opposed @elonmusk proposal to roll back Twitter censorship policies.

17/ Graham Brookie is the figure who led the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab and a previous Obama White House National Security Council member. The Atlantic Council is a NATO think-tank with seven living CIA directors as members.

18/ Brookie, a government-funded disinformation expert, dedicated much of his time during President Trump’s years in the White House to promoting the false narrative that the President of the United States was a Russian agent controlled by Vladimir Putin.

19/ In Oct. 2020, Brookie would call the #BidenLaptop “laundered unverified misinfo.” When DNI John Ratcliffe stated that the laptop was legitimate, Brookie publicly condemned Ratcliffe’s “credibility” and accused him of “politicizing intel.”

20/ Incredibly, the Atlantic Council's disinfo lab tasked by the DHS to censor the 2020 election tweeted its director's disdain for the President days before the election. "Trump is hands down the most significant accelerant and amplifier for disinformation in the election."

21/ Ben Nimmo, a Facebook exec, leads the censorship role at Graphika and is a Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council’s DFR Lab. He was a NATO press officer and was briefly listed as a senior fellow at the UK Institute for Statecraft.

22/ “Donald Trump is right that someone is trying to rig the US election, but it is not Hillary Clinton: it is the Kremlin, and Trump is an accomplice, whether or not he realizes it,” Nimmo lamented in 2016. The Pentagon awarded Graphika $5 million in 2021 for more censorship.

23/ In June 2019, at an Atlantic Council conference, Nimmo trained journalists on how to spot “disinformation” in Trump tweets and Brexit ads. Senior journalists were encouraged to hold up placards reading “Bullsh*t” to Trump tweets and Brexit slogans: @FFO_Clan

24/ The EIP defined "delegitimization" as speech that “casts doubt” on the election process or outcome. This accounted for 72% of the censorship tickets and targeted over 99% of the post throttled by narrative, focusing on voting machines and vote-by-mail. @MikeBenzCyber

26/ The EIP collaborated with its Big Tech partners to systematically censor any delegitimization of vote-by-mail as disinformation. In effect, they sided with the left and pre-banned criticism of vote-by-mail at the narrative level five months before the 2020 election.

27/ The political establishment and the left used the covid-19 crisis to push for nationwide mail-in voting, which increased the number of ballots cast by mail from 28.8 million in 2016 to 66.4 million in 2020, a massive 131% increase.

28/ The percentage of Democrats voting by mail rose from 26% in 2016 to 60% in 2020, while Republican voters only saw a rise from 21% to 32%. In short, the extra 37 million ballots cast by mail during the 2020 election swung the election to the EIP's preferred candidate.

29/ In Europe, 74% of nations ban mail-in ballots for citizens living inside their country. Brazil, Russia, Israel, Mexico, and a host of additional developed nations have also banned mail-in voting due to security concerns.

30/ In 2012, the NYT wrote, "all the evidence of stolen elections involves absentee ballots." In 2016, Slate wrote, "the only voting fraud schemes with the potential to actually swing elections involved mail-in ballots."

31/ Regardless of your opinion on voting machines or mail-in voting, it’s clear that this public-private censorship network conspired with big tech & big government to censor one side of the discussion. In Feb. 2021, the EIP expanded its focus to censor covid-19 disinformation.

32/ The DHS-backed censorship network launched the Virality Project, a collaboration between the EIP and the National Conference on Citizenship’s Algorithmic Transparency Institute, New York University’s Center for Social Media and Politics, and Tandon School of Engineering.

33/ The censorship consortium monitored “keyword-based queries and cluster-based community lists of key public figures and influencers” on all of the Big Tech platforms and mass-censored entire narratives that questioned the safety, efficacy, and necessity of the mRNA vaccines.

34/ Maddie de Garay, a 12-year-old girl in the Pfizer vaccine trial, went from healthy to paralyzed 12 hours after her second dose. Pfizer labeled it "abdominal pain." The VP said, "The claim that the daughter was harmed by the vaccine has not been proven."

35/ The Virality Project: “The idea that natural immunity from infection is superior to immunity from vaccination became a political talking point raised repeatedly by right-leaning political influencers, despite inconclusive scientific evidence.”

36/ The DHS-censorship network claims that there are no warning signs in regard to the safety of these mRNA vaccines in VAERS, the UK’s Yellow Card reporting site, EudraVigilance (used in the European Economic Area), and the World Health Organization’s VigiAccess.

37/ This authoritarian censorship network that operates in a constellation of NATO, DHS, and State Department-funded NGOs cannot be allowed to censor inconvenient truths, facts, & narratives under the guise of protecting the public from "misinformation."

38/ Earlier this month, the head of the EIP, @alexstamos, asked @elonmusk for “transparency” regarding the Tesla CEO tweeting, “the rules were enforced against the right, but not against the left.” Musk responded to the CISA censorship czar, “You operate a propaganda platform.”
