A day after the release of internal communications showing the FBI used Twitter to censor an accurate story that likely would have led to President Trump’s reelection, a new Twitter Files edition Tuesday reveals the social media giant’s direct cooperation with U.S. military influence operations.
Titled “How Twitter Quietly Aided the Pentagon’s Covert Online PsyOp Campaign,” the ninth tranche is reported by independent investigative reporter Lee Fang.
“Despite promises to shut down covert state-run propaganda networks, Twitter docs show that the social media giant directly assisted the U.S. military’s influence operations,” he writes.
“Twitter has claimed for years that they make concerted efforts to detect & thwart gov-backed platform manipulation,” notes Fang.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
But he points to Twitter’s promise to Congress to rapidly identify and shut down all state-backed covert information operations and deceptive propaganda.
In September, the Washington Post reported Pentagon officials ordered a sweeping review of U.S. information warfare operations conducted through social media platforms. The order came after Twitter and Meta identified networks of fake accounts believed to be connected to the U.S. military.

On Monday, Twitter Files No. 7 released by new CEO Elon Musk revealed the FBI worked with the intelligence community to pressure Twitter and other social media and news media to censor the New York Post’s revelations of Joe Biden’s knowledge of his family’s influence-peddling operation while lacking any evidence of a purported Russian “disinformation” operation.
Factual information about the foreign business dealings was discredited by the FBI and the IC both after and before the Post’s blockbuster Oct. 14, 2020, story, according to a report by journalist Michael Shellenberger.
Significantly, in July 2020, the FBI’s Elvis Chan – assistant special agent in charge at the office in San Francisco, where Twitter is headquartered – arranged for temporary Top Secret security clearances for Twitter executives to enable the FBI to share information about “threats” to the upcoming elections.
Further, the latest release of internal communications revealed, the FBI paid Twitter at least $3.4 million for its work.
EDITOR’S NOTE: The “Climate Change Cult.” The “Anti-Racism Cult.” The “Cult of Wokeness.” The “LGBTQ Cult” and its predatory offspring targeting America’s children, the “Transgender Cult.” The “Cult of Abortion.” The “COVID Cult.” The “Cult of Globalism.” “TikTok Cults.” Every month the list grows.
To right-thinking Americans attempting to make sense of a nation seemingly gone mad, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the irrational, deranged – and often demonic – leftwing political and cultural movements currently capturing the minds of millions of Americans are nothing short of full-fledged cults.
Although the high priesthood of all these leftwing religious cults – i.e., university professors, academics and other Marxist ideologues and activists – may be true believers, the people actually wielding REAL POWER do not believe any of it. To them, these leftwing cults conveniently serve to disguise and distract “the rabble” from what the leader class is REALLY up to, which is the pursuit of ever more power, wealth and glory for themselves, and a total transformation of America and the world.
All of this and much more is explored in a powerful, insightful and absolutely unique way in the latest issue of WND’s acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “HOLY WAR: Defeating the growing cult of leftism and its total war on Christianity.”
