Exposing The CIA's Secret Effort To Seize Control Of Social Media

"Hire the Alethea Group..."

By Tyler Durden

While the CIA is strictly prohibited from spying on or running clandestine operations against American citizens on US soil, a bombshell new "Twitter Files" report reveals that a member of the Board of Trustees of InQtel - the CIA's mission-driving venture capital firm, along with "former" intelligence community (IC) and CIA analysts, were involved in a massive effort in 2021-2022 to take over Twitter's content management system, as Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag report over at Shellenberger's Public.

According to "thousands of pages of Twitter Files and documents," these efforts were part of a broader strategy to manage how information is disseminated and consumed on social media under the guise of combating 'misinformation' and foreign propaganda efforts - as this complex of government-linked individuals and organizations has gone to great lengths to suggest that narrative control is a national security issue…

JPMorgan Chase Rolls Back Policy of ‘Debanking’ Conservatives

JPMorgan Chase, America’s largest bank, has just rolled back its policy that led to the “debanking” of conservative and Christian customers.

by Nick R. Hamilton

JPMorgan Chase, America’s largest bank, has just rolled back its policy that led to the “debanking” of conservative and Christian customers.

In recent years, major corporations have blatantly discriminated against Americans with certain viewpoints, most of those being conservatives and Christians.

According to Fox News, JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the U.S., recently “rolled back” its “social risk issues” policy, which resulted in the “debunking” of several Christian nonprofits and conservative individuals…

Men like Scott Disick on Ozempic-like drugs are 3.5 times more likely to suffer embarrassing sexual side effect, first major study shows

Taking Ozempic makes you three and a half times more likely to suffer life-wrecking erectile dysfunction, a new study suggests.

The researchers found that, not only did semaglutide users have a three and a half times increased risk of the sex problem, they were also almost twice as likely to develop testosterone deficiency

By Caitlin Tilley

Taking Ozempic makes you three and a half times more likely to suffer life-wrecking erectile dysfunction, a new study suggests.

Researchers from the University of Texas studied more than 1,500 obese, non-diabetic men on the blockbuster drug and found a staggering number experienced sex problems within as little as a month after starting a prescription.

While other research and anecdotal accounts have noted erectile dysfunction as one of the many unpleasant side effects of the drug, this is the first study to assess the degree of risk.

Weight loss drugs like Ozempic are taken by more than two million people in the US, including reality star Scott Disick, who was recently outed when eagle-eyed viewers of The Kardashians saw packets of similar shot, Mounjaro, in his fridge...

World Court Orders Israel To Halt Military Operations in Rafah

Tel Aviv said the ruling would not stop it from continuing to destroy Gazaby Kyle Anzalone

Antiwar.com News Updates

by Kyle Anzalone

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel must halt military operations in Rafah. The court made the ruling after South Africa appealed to the court to take action as Israeli military operation in the southern region of Gaza has displaced nearly a million people and prevented aid deliveries. Tel Aviv said the court’s decision will not stop Israeli forces from achieving their objectives in Gaza.

On Friday, ICJ President Nawaf Salam announced the court had ruled 13-2 that Israel must halt military operations in Rafah, open border crossings to aid deliveries, and allow investigators into Gaza. The ruling came after oral argument from South Africa, who requested the ICJ order Tel Aviv to halt the offensive, and Israel.

Late last year, Pretoria initially filed accusations of genocide against Israel at the World Court. In January, the ICJ issued a preliminary ruling that it was plausible that Israel was committing a genocide against the people of Gaza but stopped short of ordering Israel to halt military operations in the Strip.

After Israel launched an assault on Rafah earlier this month, South Africa asked the court to issue an explicit ruling ordering Israel to halt the offensive. Prior to the court issuing the ruling, Israeli officials said they would not comply with any demand to halt the offensive…

Business Titans Privately Urged NYC Mayor to Use Police on Columbia Protesters

Some of the members, Daniel Lubetzky, Daniel Loeb, Len Blavatnik, and Joseph Sitt

by Washington Post and Young Turks

The Washington Post reported that an group of more than 100 high-profile wealthy Jewish businessmen joined a private WhatsApp group with the stated purpose of shaping Americans’ public opinion to “change the narrative” to favor Israel in its war in Gaza by focusing on atrocities, some of which have been debunked. In addition, they used their money and power to influence the actions of political leaders, along with business and academic leaders. Critics have accused the group of bribery and conspiracy. 

Some of the members, Daniel Lubetzky, Daniel Loeb, Len Blavatnik, and Joseph Sitt, participated in a Zoom call with New York Mayor Eric Adams on April 26 and urged him to use police to suppress protests at Columbia, which he did. They also discussed giving political donations to the Mayor and pressuring Columbia’s president and trustees to permit NYPD police on campus…

CIA Targeting Smartphone App Data

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Avril Haines, who oversees 18 separate agencies comprising the wider “intelligence community”

by Kit Klarenberg

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Avril Haines, who oversees 18 separate agencies comprising the wider “intelligence community” - including the CIA, FBI, and NSA - has released a “policy framework for commercially available information.” It is not only the very first public confirmation by a US government official that Stateside spying entities acquire extensive data on private citizens from third party brokers, but admission this yield is deeply sensitive. While purportedly setting limits on the use of this information by spooks, the details are vague or non-existent.

“Commercially available information” (CAI) refers to data collected on individuals, typically by their smartphones, and the apps they use, sold by third parties. Via various sleights of hand and ruthless exploitation of regulatory loopholes, US intelligence obtained information not accessible by average citizens, which would typically require a court-approved search warrant to access. Yet, by purchasing this data from private brokers, spying agencies can still claim this snooping is “open source”, based on “publicly available” records…

The Fed's "Doomsday Book" Has Been Revealed

Back in 2011, shareholders of insurance giant American International Group (AIG) filed a $40 billion class action lawsuit against the US government

by James Corbett

Back in 2011, shareholders of insurance giant American International Group (AIG) filed a $40 billion class action lawsuit against the US government over the terms of its controversial bailout of AIG during the 2008 financial crisis.

In 2014, the trial case came to focus on an intriguing oddity. In cross-examination, the plaintiffs learned of a set of documents that the New York Fed—the heart of America's Federal Reserve central bank and the primary wheeler-dealer in the chaotic days of the global financial collapse—dramatically refers to as its "Doomsday Book."

This book, it was discovered, contained the various legal opinions and memoranda that the Fed used to determine what power it has to manipulate the financial system in the event of a large-scale crisis. And, it seemed, there was a good chance that the central bank broke its own rules with all its bailout shenanigans and financial sleight-of-hand during the 2008 collapse…
