Journalists Paul Thacker and Matt Taibbi revealed internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) planning to “kill Musk’s Twitter.”
CCDH also hopes to strengthen ties with VP Kamala Harris and other Democrats.
CCDH’s founder, Morgan McSweeney, is already advising Harris’s campaign.
“Our mission is to protect human rights and civil liberties online,” according to CCDH’s website. “Social media companies erode basic human rights and civil liberties by enabling the spread of online hate and disinformation.”
In other words, CCDG wants censorship.
The CCDH moved to the United States in 2021.
Hmmm…who took office in 2021? Yes, President Joe Biden. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
“The Disinformation Dozen” report coincided nicely with a Biden administration campaign to beat back American fears of the COVID vaccine and was referenced by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki in a warning that social media companies should censor the accounts.“There’s about 12 people who are producing 65% of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms,” Psaki claimed, citing the CCDH’s work. Three years later the truth finally caught up with [CCDH’s current CEO Imran] Ahmed’s misinformation. In recent months, Forbes, The Independent, and The Guardian have all issued corrections to articles on CCDH’s 2021 report noting that Facebook investigated CCDH’s allegations and found them baseless and without proven methodology.According to documents provided to both publications along with interviews with CCDH whistleblowers, an invitation-only conference held this past summer in Washington underscores the group’s priorities. Attendees at CCDH’s private event included a slew of liberal groups now organizing against Musk including a senior advisor at the White House, a Democratic Party staffer in the office of Congressman Adam Schiff, Biden/Harris State Department officials, Canadian MP Peter Julian (recently tweeted “Boycott all advertisers on Twitter”) and Media Matters for America (a Democratic party-aligned watchdog now locked in a lawsuit with Musk).The second annual CCDH priority on the document reads, “Advertising focus.” This likely references the group’s apparent strategy of publishing reports that claim Musk allowed hate to proliferate on X, followed by efforts to drive away the company’s advertisers.
CCDH hides its donors and employees. Yes, it’s a dark money organization.
In 2021, Ahmed raked in $1.47 million in donations.
One donor from that year gave CCDH $1.1 million. A whistleblower claims the anonymous donor is Aleen Keshishian, actor Mark Ruffalo’s agent.
Selena Gomez, another Keshishian client, supposedly has donated to CCDH.
I believe this is what we call foreign election interference:
The Center for Countering Digital Hate is the anti-disinformation activist ally of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, and a messaging vehicle for Labour’s neoliberal think tank, Labour Together. Both the CCDH and Labour Together were founded by Morgan McSweeney, a Svengali credited with piloting Starmer’s rise to Downing Street, much as Karl Rove is credited with guiding George W. Bush to the White House.The CCDH documents carry particular importance because McSweeney’s Labour Together political operatives have been teaching election strategy to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, leading Politico to call Labour and the Democrats “sister parties.” CCDH’s focus on “Kill Musk’s Twitter” also adds to legal questions about the nonprofit’s tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organization.—In the last two months, the Washington Post and Politico, among others, have run a series of features about British advisors from Labour Together rescuing the distressed political damsel that is the Harris/Walz campaign. Politico casts McSweeney as the “election mastermind” who first helped Keir Starmer defeat leftist Jeremy Corbyn to become the head of Labour, all the way to Starmer’s “landslide” win over Conservatives to become Prime Minister this past July, implying that McSweeney and his team can perform a similar miracle for Harris.
UK’s Labour government wants Harris to win so she could stand with Starmer.
We’ve already seen Labour staffers knocking on doors for Harris over the summer.
However, Thacker and Taibbi disclosed that McSweeney’s groups started infiltrating themselves into America years ago:
In the U.S., a now-defunct CCDH offshoot called Stop Funding Fake News led multiple successful boycotts of media figures across the spectrum, from Zero Hedge during the BLM riots to The Federalist. The formula often involved collaborating with a mainstream media outlet to level an accusation of bigotry, followed by a pressure campaign against advertisers to shut off revenue to the target.“CCDH went directly after us and he worked with Google when they briefly suspended all advertising on Zero Hedge, our primary source of revenue then,” recalls Zero Hedge editor Tyler Durden, noting that the boycott came after CCDH worked with NBC on an article depicting them as racist for claiming damage from BLM riots was under-covered. Similar tactics led to demonetization of The Federalist, whose apparent crime was a June 3, 2020 piece called, “The Media Are Lying to You About Everything, Including the Riots.” Like Zero Hedge, The Federalist criticized mainstream coverage of BLM protests, including calling not-yet-fired CNNanchor Don Lemon a “not very bright man.”“NBC News colluded with a foreign left-wing group in an attempt to destroy us because it disagrees with our political commentary and media criticism,” The Federalist editor Mollie Hemingway told The Wall Street Journal at the time.
CCDH attempted to take down Substack over supposed vaccine disinformation.
The group failed when Substack “essentially told them to fuck off” when they demanded the removal of Alex Berenson and Dr. Joseph Mercola.
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign filed a complaint with the FEC claiming foreign interference due to the U.K. Labour strategists advising the Harris campaign.
However, as far as we know, the Labour Party staff have not made any financial contributions.
