Report on the Censorship-Industrial Complex

The two new threads collectively show the wide political range of revelations in the #TwitterFiles material, which have been slandered absurdly as a partisan exercise. Lowenthal, who in his Insider s Guide to Anti-Disinformation describes himself as a progressive-minded Australian, printed a series of exchanges between journalists who attended a summer tabletop exercise at the Aspen Institute about a hack-and-leak operation involving Burisma and Hunter Biden, weeks before the actual event. When the actual scandal broke not long after, the existence of that tabletop exercise clearly become newsworthy, but none of the journalists present, who included David Sanger of the New York Times and current Rolling Stone editor Noah Schactman said a word. Perhaps, as was common with anti-disinfo conferences, the event was off the record. (We asked, and none of the reporters commented). It doesn t matter. Lowenthal showed how another anti-disinformation conference featured the headline speaker Anthony Blinken. He s currently suspected of having triggered the infamous letter signed by 50 intelligence officers saying the Hunter Biden laptop story had the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.

As Lowenthal writes: See how it works? The people accusing others of disinformation run the biggest disinformation campaigns themselves.
