Andrew Lowenthal spent more than two decades defending digital rights, and watched as peers and partner organizations switched to an opposite mission called "anti-disinformation." An inside account racket.news/p/an-insiders-gu… (https://www.racket.news/p/an-insiders-guide-to-anti-disinformation)

Intelligence veterans — all of them — need to get out of domestic politics, leave cable, and go back to living off overpaid no-show jobs at the Rand Corporation or Raytheon, as God ordained.

I would love to continue. It’s not up to me, although I’m not done reporting the material I have.

There isn’t one thing in the Twitter Files that “runs cover” for the current company. It’s all about past incidents and overwhelmingly more about other actors — groups like Hamilton 68, agencies like GEC and the FBI, and “anti-disinformation” NGOs — than Twitter itself.

Jesus Christ. This is about whether or not I would move from Substack to Twitter. I refused to do this to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, publicly defying Musk, and you’re all acting like I did the opposite. How dishonest can you be?

You people are shockingly dishonest. This is referencing my refusal to leave Substack and move to Twitter subscriptions. The full quote is: “This whole business of me maybe moving to Twitter or using this new subscription service - I was trying to protect Elon in this situation……

If the FBI’s mandate is to counter “foreign interference,” why were we looking at spreadsheets sent by the FBI to Twitter with the names of thousands of flagged Americans?

That’s not true. The statement said the story has the “classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

The laptop story in itself is likely less meaningful than the censorship of it and, now, the possibility that the Biden campaign worked with intelligence officials to foist a major media deception — that it was Russian disinformation — on the public.

“Cherry-picked” — in sudden massive overuse by both parties — joins “misleading,” “needs context,” and “malinformation” as derogatory ways to describe true-but-inconvenient information.
