Michael Shellenberger, one of three independent journalists tasked by Twitter CEO Elon Musk to investigate and expose the contents of the “Twitter Files”, joined Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan last week to discuss what the trio has discovered about the infiltration of social media platforms by U.S. intelligence agencies. One of Shellenberger’s most illuminating revelations involved a June 2020 “tabletop exercise” conducted by the Aspen Institute, a progressive nonprofit whose stated mission is the realization of “a free, just, and equitable society”. This organization is funded by donors such as the Carnegie Corporation, the Gates Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and yes, your tax dollars.
According to Shellenberger, the exercise involved role-playing on how to respond to a Russian “hack and leak” operation regarding Hunter Biden. The timing is especially interesting considering the FBI had taken possession of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop six months prior.
Noting that the Aspen Institute is funded by the U.S. government, Shellenberger told Rogan, “The thing that really freaks me out was this thing that the Aspen Institute had. They called it a ‘tabletop exercise’ but it was actually a Zoom call, to role-play how to deal with a Russian hack and leak around Hunter Biden, months before Rudy Giuliani gives the laptop to the New York Post. Why in the hell is the Aspen Institute holding a tabletop exercise to pre-bunk? Basically, they are training, or brainwashing, all these journalist. You’ve got CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, Wikimedia Foundation, the networks, all of the social media companies, coming together to say if something is leaked, we should not cover it in the way that journalists have traditionally covered it. We should focus on the person that leaked it.”
News that the Aspen Institute had deliberately convened a group of media influencers to set the framework for a disinformation campaign of their own — one designed to alter the outcome of a U.S. presidential election — takes the FBI’s complicity to an entirely new level.
Every step of the way, the Biden campaign was aided and abetted by the FBI, Big Tech executives, and the national press, who all shared a common goal: to ensure a Biden victory in 2020.
Who’s to say 2024 will be any different?
The “election deniers” are proven right again!
And there’s no doubt 2024 will be a repeat of the same collusion and fraud.
The way those powers that be manipulated public opinion with censorship and disinformation is one thing, but in most ways it’s hard to quantify the effect those kinds of things would have on the election outcome. 17% of Biden voters say they would not have voted for him had they known about the incriminating Hunter laptop, and that would have turned the tables if that polling is at all accurate. But the much larger and more concrete facts of the election theft have to do with fraudulent mail-in ballots and delays in counting and certification (waiting for more votes to come in), etc. It also seems to me that the censorship and disinformation campaign is not as dispositive a proof of election tampering as the several grotesque statistical anomalies one has to ignore in order the believe that Biden actually won that election legitimately. Several articles from late 2020 and beyond explore those impossible numbers. I have those articles catalogued but have not yet collated the findings, procrastinating like there’s no tomorrow, as usual.
I have had the same thought about those unbelievable numbers. So many wanted Biden to be president? When he couldn’t get more than three (bribed?) people and a (pre-paid) television crew to any of his “rallies”? (And the three people stayed in their cars and drove away before he’d finished rambling about his hairy legs.)
