1. 🧵Why has Meta hired more than 160 individuals from the US Intelligence Community since 2018?
Is the Global Engagement Center (GEC) directly providing funding to Meta? Is this a modern-day version of Operation Mockingbird?

This is an update to my previous thread from December 2022. The primary focus here is to provide a comprehensive list of the most notable individuals, currently working at Meta, with backgrounds in intelligence.
The hallmark of a successful foreign influence operation? The operatives are either so skilled you don’t see it—or you refuse to believe it.
Who’s the beard? Who’s the handler? Who’s the honeypot?
…Or these two nice Jewish people just randomly met on Twitter.
Is @mikebenzcyber running an influence or infiltration op on X?
– 2016-2018: Secretly ran “Frame Game,” an alt-right Gab account that pushed antisemitic talking points, racial IQ theories, and Holocaust denial. Claimed it was a “Jewish deradicalization project,” but analysis of 200+ videos suggests otherwise (Mossad?).
– Used “Frame Game” to manipulate online discourse, positioning himself as an insider to both redpill and monitor extremists.
– Deleted Frame Game content before reinventing himself as a censorship expert.
– Joins Twitter in Dec 2022, right as the Twitter Files drop.
– No prior online footprint—who was Michael Adam Bruno Benz before this?
– Deletes LinkedIn profile before emerging as a “censorship expert.”
– Alters his appearance to seem more professional.
– Spends 10 months undermining independent censorship research. (cc @sparklingruby)
– A Google search for “Michael Benz” before 2023 yields nothing.
– Skillfully redirects Twitter Spaces discussions to push his narrative.
– Has inserted himself into key censorship investigations, gaining trust from Taibbi, Shellenberger, and Jim Jordan’s Weaponization Committee.
Something doesn’t add up.

1. 🧵Google & Meta function as extensions of the US Intelligence Community. With Jacqueline Lopour, Google's Head of Trust & Safety, and Aaron Berman, Meta's Head of Elections Content/Misinformation Policy, both being career CIA officers, it underscores the CIA's substantial control over online censorship.
Why is this CIA-Big Tech revolving door, where career CIA officers wield power to censor & decide what misinformation is, purposefully suppressed in the broader conversation about censorship?
Why are career CIA officers like Jacqueline Lopour & Nick Rossmann, who both have a history of spreading misinformation & promoting the RussiaGate conspiracy theory, now in senior roles in Trust & Safety at Google, deciding what is misinformation & overseeing content moderation?
The cumulative number of former Intelligence Community personnel hired by Meta & Google since 2018 is staggering. Before 2018, there were only a handful. Here are the combined hires by both companies:

1. 🧵Meta's Misinformation & Fact Checking Policy is controlled by former career CIA & USAID operatives
I’ve previously written about former CIA officer Aaron Berman, who heads Misinformation Policy at Meta. He is joined by Mike Bradow, a former USAID official, who leads Fact-Checking Policy at Meta.
Berman & Bradow didn’t join Meta to protect free speech—they joined to control content, censor speech, and amplify U.S.-backed narratives, all with the goal of manipulating elections, both domestically and abroad, notably in Brazil.
On X, @mikebradow describes himself as a “democracy champion,” while Berman has previously bragged about championing “diversity & inclusion” while at the CIA—a classic example of intelligence officials using buzzwords to mask their true objectives.
As of today, both are still at Meta, actively running these operations. So, who really controls Meta?
The rest of this thread will expose how Berman and Bradow have used Meta to interfere in elections…

10. These are just a few examples of the election interference operations run by Aaron Berman and Mike Bradow.
Beyond elections, they played a major role in Meta’s online censorship during COVID, the Ukraine war, and even launched the Facebook Climate Science Information Center to control climate-related narratives.
Who really controls Meta?
Another example of the illegitimate 'investigations' led by @Jim_Jordan & @Weaponization
They selectively unmask specific Meta employees while protecting the career CIA officer who controls censorship & defines 'misinfo’
Aaron Berman is the redacted author of this email.
@Jim_Jordan's @Weaponization Committee is a complete sham that has accomplished nothing

“Trust & Safety”
6. Nick Rossmann spent over 5 years at the CIA before joining Google in 2022 as Senior Manager of Trust & Safety. His activity on Twitter/X is troubling, especially considering his current position in content moderation.
Why does Nick Rossmann have a problem with white people?
Here are some examples of Rossmann’s unhinged behavior on Twitter/X (all archived):
*Negative tweets about white people:

*Hoping Trump voters cough on their grandparents (giving them COVID) & “get to rot”- archive.is/rppqw
*Asking Trump if he is an agent of a foreign power - archive.vn/xi7t8
*Calling Trump “a lunatic & a racist”, tagging Keith Olbermann & using the hashtag “Resist” - archive.vn/Pk5Kh
*Calling anti-vaxxers Nazis & Confederates - archive.vn/YWMDD

The Frame Mike Benz is Running on Politicians & Members of the Media:
People who continue to engage with & promote Mike Benz should be aware of the following facts:
**Mike Benz is lying about his employment history, falsely claiming to have worked for the State Department in a high-level cyber-related role. But he didn’t. There is a bigger story behind his abrupt transfer to an 'in name only' role for 7 weeks at State after being an entry-level speechwriter at HUD. He has claimed to be a “Diplomat” & "the head of all things Cyber." These are lies.
**Between 2016-2018, Mike Benz was a member of the Proud Boys & operated an alt-right account under the pseudonym 'Frame Game,' where, on numerous occasions, he expressed his views including holocaust denial & endless antisemitic rhetoric. It's worth noting that Benz's 'Frame Game' account existed just 6 years ago.
Those who are aware of these facts yet continue to support Benz are on notice. There is more to this story - which will be revealed in time.
We are monitoring those who choose to ignore these facts & continue promoting Benz.
For further details, refer to my attached thread from October. I highly recommend watching the entire video (listen to Benz's own words) & reading the entire thread, which includes sources for his 'Frame Game' videos.👇
1. THREAD: MIKE BENZ – FROM PROUD BOYS TO FRAME GAME’S ANTISEMITISM
@mikebenzcyber has disclosed, that in 2016, he was a member of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group.
Benz admits to being 'Frame Game', a prominent alt-right & antisemitic account on Gab from 2016-2018. Although he describes it as a “Jewish project to deradicalize the alt-right,” a thorough examination of over 200 videos suggests otherwise.
Is Mike Benz an FBI informant?
It's concerning that despite Benz's antisemitic rhetoric & Holocaust denial, influential figures continue to support him, especially after NBC's @BrandyZadrozny unveiled these revelations. In his response to the NBC story, Benz showed no remorse for his antisemitic rhetoric; instead, he expressed pride in his 'Frame Game' operation.
I hope that after reviewing this thread & the audio evidence, individuals like @elonmusk, @shellenberger, @KyleSeraphin, & @Timcast will reconsider their endorsement of Benz & publicly condemn his antisemitism.
Recently, Elon Musk declared his stance against any form of antisemitism. Does this sentiment extend to Mike Benz?
19. I could list over 100 more examples of individuals whose sole work history is within the Intelligence Community or career State Department diplomats.
Many of these individuals hold positions as content moderators and policy managers. Most of them joined Google/YouTube after 2018.
Is it merely a coincidence that censorship has increased aggressively since then?
20. If you are a “journalist” who covers the censorship issue but chooses to ignore the revolving door, you lack integrity.
If you are a notable figure who’s been censored on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube, it's crucial to start questioning why career CIA officers are employed by these companies as content moderators.

18. Candice Bryant joined Google in 2021 as Executive & Internal Comms Manager. Her only other work experience was 17 years at the CIA.
She led the CIA's social media team with the goal of boosting the agency's public image.
