WhatsApp and telegram were were put in the crosshairs of this usaid program to kill you know and state usaid state department program to to kill political support for bolsonaro and WhatsApp bent the knee within two and a half weeks because WhatsApp is very vulnerable it is owned by Facebook and Facebook is a major major s has a is a major surface attack area for WhatsApp if you recall Jim Jordan subpoenaed these emails from Facebook a few months ago the you know the Facebook files and in the Facebook files it came out that Nick CLE the head of public policy the head of the censorship terms of service at at Facebook did not want to cooperate with the Biden administration's demands to censor covid but urged his team to do so anyway because we have bigger fish to fry with the Biden Administration so we need to think creatively about ways to be receptive to their censorship demands because Facebook is totally dependent on the US state department the the the intelligence services and and to some extent the the longrange threat of the Pentagon to protect Facebook's data monopolies to protect its advertising Revenue to protect it from laws like the EU digital markets act and Digital Services act which is so and and this has come out as well and I was at the state department when I was called by nine Google lobbyists you know who told me that the that the the number one threat to Google's business model over the next five years is the EU digital markets act and Digital Services act they need the protection of Big Daddy State Department for favors for their profit and so they play ball with the state department censorship demands in order to preserve that but they are under the barrel of it and people like Mark Zuckerberg right now are feeling like they're at their they're at their wit's end because they gave the state department and they gave the B Administration everything they asked for in terms of censorship demands and they're still being bullied by them so just yesterday Mark Zuckerberg wrote this letter to Chairman Jim Jordan where he came out in the strongest statement yet that you know that the Biden Administration for Facebook effectively to do the censorship that they that they pressured them strongly and that and that the only reason they did these censorship actions whether that was the Joe the uh the hunter Biden laptop or whether that was the uh the covid censorship censoring covid Origins censoring you know all issues around uh you know the covid regime was because of pressure from the Biden Administration and not only that he said that he regretted doing it and would and now has as structures in place to stop Facebook from relenting from such government pressure in the first place and while this is great to hear Zuckerberg say it would have been a lot more useful four months ago when there was a Supreme Court case under deliberation where the Supreme Court effectively argued that there was there was an insufficient causal relationship between government pressure and platform censorship action so having a you know having a direct letter from Mark Zuckerberg uh unequivocally saying that it that there was as the head of of Facebook would have been very useful to establish a supreme court president but leaving that aside in the sort of you know uh too little too late nature of that uh this is something that had been percolating you know for for a while Facebook you Mark Zuckerberg said that he regretted the censorship act actions five months ago on Joe Rogan so it's no surprise that you know that Zuckerberg expressed that in writing but the fact that he would do it to the Republican chairman of the house weaponization committee and the fact that he said he's no longer supporting Democrats in this election cycle uh signals to me that he fears The Blob now and and feels like the Harris administration's continuity of the Biden Administration pressure policies that there's no amount of Flesh that he can give up as a pound to satiate their blood lust and and that he's turning if not towards Trump then towards something that's against that and trying to provide whatever moral support to that without making a direct contribution to the to the other side sort of maintaining the sort of patina of neutrality on financial and and uh messaging grounds he's not doing what Elon is doing by voicing explicit support he's not you know providing financial support but he is he is very strongly motioning there because I think he thinks that the neutrality of a Biden of a trump administration because Trump was neutral Trump was completely neutral frankly to the point where he he should not have been I mean you had American platforms who were censoring the American people who had voted for that government and and you know blasting away at our first amendment and doing so you know the fact is is all of the government you know how can you protect government how can the government protect platforms that are censoring the speech of Americans this would be like the state department you know supporting exgon mobile and overthrowing governments to get oil and gas for Exon Mobile while Exon Mobile was cutting half of Americans off at the pipe you know at at the pump at a gas station if they voted for you know Eisenhower I this is this is it's such an abuse it's honestly the end of this sort of idea that this favors or favors relationship between big government and big big corporations has a trickle down effect to help the welfare of the American people this has always been the justification for the national champion policy at the state department that when the big when big government when the Pentagon and state department CIA and usaid and the whole swarm of soft power institutions do favors for Exon Mobile or Microsoft or Walmart or Pepsi then that means cheaper retail products for us we have the export markets because we control that government we have the natural resources so we have cheap gas middle class living but this has completely inverted that because it's big government teaming up with big corporations specifically to deprive Americans of access to those platforms but again it's to protect the institutions against the individuals it's to protect this you know this this constellation of cloistered foreign policy institutions and their and their International agenda installed at a regional level on every plot of dirt on Earth from being opposed by people who might vote against them organically in a free and open information Market what happens to pav durov it's unclear what kind of pressure may be mounted to set him free um there have been suggestions that potentially the UAE may take some steps unconfirmed the one player in the room who could exert enough pressure to set pavle free is unfortunately potentially one of the players who may be implicated in his arrest in the first place and again this comes back to the US Embassy in France uh and which is why I believe that questions need to be asked by the house Foreign Affairs committee to Ambassador Denise Bower were there previous Communications previous emails previous meetings previous dialogue with French intelligence French law enforcement uh or or members of the French government and when I say were there you know meetings or Communications or dialogue I don't just mean directly by the US Embassy I also mean through the us embassy's back channels which is that many times this is done directly by the US Embassy but many times it's done by a back Channel which is that instead of the US Embassy talking with French law enforcement directly a back Channel someone from uh a civil society institution funded by the state department you like an an Atlantic Town Council type organization or a or uh you know a a former member of the state department has these conversations does this lobbying does this coordination and then reports to the state department for you know updates on the conversations about the the anti-corruption uh prosecution and the state department provides guidance to the back Channel and the back Channel continues the negotiations of pressure and so you know the sweep has to be total here because the implications of the US Embassy either coordinating or at the very least approving this are are seismic because again of telegram's critical Military Intelligence role in countering Russia and statecraft role in everything that the state department does because again if Russia does have a backend access to telegram whether they cracked it through their cyber hackers or whether pavle had some secret agreement that means every rent a riot Revolution that the CIA does using telegram all over the world is also being you know secretly monitored by the Russians thanks for watching our YouTube channel we hope you'll subscribe to it and by the way you can hit the little Bell on there and get notifications every time
