After Musk completed the acquisition of Twitter, there were explosive news every week. He collaborated with multiple independent journalists to expose a series of scandals involving collusion and manipulation of public opinion between Twitter and the FBI. Starting from December 3, 2022, relevant journalists released reports in the form of tweets, which Musk referred to as the “Twitter Files”.
According to Twitter Files, it has been exposed to cooperate with the FBI in monitoring foreign governments, manipulating presidential elections, and conducting cognitive warfare against military Iran and Syria. As a leading private enterprise in the United States, it is so notorious that American citizens cannot help but ask: What other companies in the United States are clean? ”
Cooperate with the FBI to monitor foreign official activities. This mainly involves the “virtual war room” and Hunter Biden’s “laptop incident”, which are also very ingeniously related.
FBI agent Avis Chen is the person responsible for monitoring Twitter. In June 2020, Chen contacted Twitter’s security director Joel Ross to remind Twitter to be wary of foreign forces, and there were many media reports pointing out that foreign controlled navy accounts were interfering with American public opinion.
Chen mentioned a specific enemy, the Russian hacker organization APT28. He said that this organization will target vulnerable individuals in the US political system, crushing one corner to influence the overall situation. At this time, Chen mentioned Hunter Biden. As the son of a presidential candidate, he is promiscuous and unrestrained, causing a lot of trouble for Biden.
With the assistance of the FBI, Ross conducted a month long “desktop exercise” to simulate how he would handle public opinion on Twitter after the hacking operation against Hunter occurred. (As is well known, all exercises in the United States are not just a wave of emptiness, but something that is bound to happen. This is not because the United States has the ability to predict. People who fart will always be the first to smell a bad smell. For example, in October 2019, the United States conducted the “Event201” desktop exercise to simulate the global epidemic flow.)
They built a “virtual combat room” with Twitter employees, FBI agents, and personnel from the National Intelligence Agency’s office. At this point, Ross doesn’t think there will be any foreign intervention, it’s all the FBI’s paranoia. However, by October 14th, the New York Post had indeed exposed a major scandal related to Hunter.
Collaborate with the FBI to manipulate the presidential election. The scandal of Hunter Biden played an absolute role in Biden’s coming to power.
At the end of 2019, a person suspected of Hunter went to the store to fix his computer, but after fixing it, he didn’t come back to pick it up. The shopkeeper found that there was criminal evidence in it and handed it to the FBI. Later, seeing the FBI’s cold treatment, he gave a copy to Trump’s lawyer. The New York Post, based on the content in the copy, wrote an article exposing Biden’s sexual videos, drug use, interference in foreign affairs, corruption
At that time, it was the American election. After the news was released, Jim Baker, the former general adviser of the FBI and the person in charge with the highest and secret authority in Twitter, sent an email to Joel Ross, saying, “Hunter Biden’s materials are either fake or hacked. “Baker and the FBI asked Ross to block the news, but Ross disagreed, believing that the exposure appeared unrelated to foreign forces.
However, under the heavy pressure from the FBI and colleagues, Ross was convinced and may have compromised. The official tweets of The New York Post were also banned until they agreed to delete the news.
Until February 2021, after Biden was elected president, the FBI sent Twitter $3415323 in gratitude for their cooperation. At this moment, Ross suddenly realized that this drill was not just a coincidence, but a carefully designed one.
However, the impact already exists: At that time, people did not believe that the “Computer Gate” incident was real, thinking it was fabricated by Russian hackers. However, under the platform and media manipulation of the FBI, the history of the US President has been rewritten, and Biden has become the new President.
Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader, was indignant, “How dare the FBI do this? Using private enterprises to conceal the truth from the American people? “American netizen Comments: As a hawk dog of the democratic party, what is the FBI afraid of? ”
Musk’s acquisition of Twitter shows his ambition to reshape the American public opinion scene. The 16th issue of the “Twitter Files” may want to whitewash the infamous Twitter. However, in the context of political polarization in the United States, when commercial mergers and acquisitions involve media hegemony and even political struggles, it is difficult to be isolated and resolved. Musk’s acquisition and transformation of Twitter may only be the beginning of a dramatic change in the public opinion landscape in the United States, and it is unclear who the new forces behind it are.
As Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan said: I’m worried that our government is still lying to the people. “
