This is the shit my team and I were trying to hold back or at least mitigate in time for the 2020 elections. We've been fighting this since 2017 at least. It's motivated a lot of my decisions since Myanmar made me realized the awful possibilities inherent in weaponized disinfo https://twitter.com/realchriswilson/status/1304157786704670720
I cannot emphasize enough that my speaking out about disinformation, Facebook algorithms, personality data, DHS, border surveillance and cruelty, my own driver's license and passport flags, and climate change are all part of the same story: a massive, audacious power grab.
Many people named in this story have links to the Tanton network, the "passive eugenics" and "population control" maniacs I've spoken about at length. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosiegray/peter-thiel-donald-trump-white-nationalist-support
Hmm, the white nationalist-linked Facebook board member whose surveillance tech company literally directly profits from border fearmongering considered Trump an investment.
And which social media platform has been spreading disinformation about the border, up to and including hijacking a popular Honduran personality's account to ensure more people would join up with a caravan projected to arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border during U.S. midterm elex?
You know what else? A bunch of white supremacists and their collaborators and supporters were in Tijuana to try to gin up violence against the people within the caravan. It made international news, but no one seemed to notice who the "concerned locals" actually were.
I tried to give my research to anyone who would take it but only one reporter would. I think it's relevant to bring this up now. Remember, this is all my research and I gave it to him to do this story with my blessing. He did a great job https://hillreporter.com/leaders-anti-caravan-marche-tijuana-exposed-as-nazi-sympathizers-15165
Paloma Zuniga of Latinas for Trump was also there, acting as a correspondent (?) for Infowars https://twitter.com/brooklynmarie/status/1077272176997220352?lang=en

Does this rhetoric sound familiar? It should! They only can sing one-note songs.
Just maybe something to keep in mind as you read this story about what a guy -- who literally directly profits from racist fearmongering about the border pushed by the social media company he's a board member of -- has been up to. https://twitter.com/RMac18/status/1304463036883718144
The Tanton network (referenced upthread) is the one that's wormed its way into DHS during the Trump administration. Peter Thiel is linked to these population control groups with major influence over DHS -- the gov agency using Palantir tech. These guys. https://twitter.com/brooklynmarie/status/1242219946861449216?s=20
And remember too that Peter Thiel is a highly influential Facebook board member who has been instrumental in getting in the way of or corrupting Facebook's fact checking initiative. https://www.wsj.com/articles/peter-thiel-at-center-of-facebooks-internal-divisions-on-politics-11576578601
In this context, what purpose do you think QAnon serves?
I realize this sounds batshit, but in case you haven't noticed, things have been batshit for a while now. I'm just glad I spent so long as a border reporter so I could become comfortable with seeing, experiencing, and saying completely insane shit and then being called nuts lol
