Media Matters Chief Shares ‘Capitalists Lined Up Against the Wall and Shot in the Revolution’ Tweet, Denies Endorsing Violence

 

Media Matters Editor-at-Large Parker Molloy shared a post from former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo which read: “Me-first capitalists who think you can separate society from business are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution. I’ll happily provide video commentary.”

 

Following a backlash on social media, Molloy – who was born biologically male but “transitioned” in 2012 – has claimed she was not endorsing the call to revolutionary violence, despite originally adding the comment: “Thinking about a world where @dickc was still CEO of Twitter and not @jack“. Molloy, 34, is a radical left activist who previously attracted national attention for calling another activist a “Stupid c*nt” and telling her to “Cut yourself…Drink bleach…Die in a fire…” At the time, her publication, The Advocate, suspended Molloy without pay for a month. Molloy later resigned with a public tantrum.

 

Molloy has attempted a reverse ferret over the retweet, since claiming: “fell asleep after sending a tweet, woke up and saw that some people think I was endorsing violence? No. No, I was not. Hope that clarifies things.” Media Matters has become increasingly unhinged on the run-up to the election, assigning Grindr-obsessed, dog show reporters to run interference for the Transition Integrity Project – the group attempting to hand Joe Biden an election victory no matter what happens on November 3rd.

U.S. intel agencies failing to counter threat from China, says House Intelligence Committee report

 

"Absent a significant realignment, [the] intelligence community will fail [to enable] U.S. competition with China on the global stage," says the report.

 

WASHINGTON — After two decades of prioritizing counterterrorism, U.S. intelligence agencies are failing to sufficiently understand and counter the national security threat posed by China, the House Intelligence Committee concludes in a new report issued Wednesday. The report, based on hundreds of hours of interviews with intelligence officers and thousands of analytic assessments, finds that the intelligence community must change how it does business — not only to improve its insights into China, but also to better address "the growing importance of interlocking non-military transnational threats, such as global health, economic security, and climate change." The report recommends that spy agencies make better use of open source data, modernize hiring practices and reorient spending priorities. Although the committee's Democratic majority wrote the report, the full committee approved it Wednesday morning in a bipartisan voice vote. "The United States' Intelligence Community has not sufficiently adapted to a changing geopolitical and technological environment increasingly shaped by a rising China," the report says. "Absent a significant realignment of resources, the U.S. government and intelligence community will fail to achieve the outcomes required to enable continued U.S. competition with China on the global stage for decades to come, and to protect the U.S. health and security."

 

In addition to critiquing U.S. spy agencies, the report offers a stark portrayal of China as a rogue nation that threatens global security, underscoring how dramatically the bipartisan foreign policy consensus about China has changed in the last decade. "The People's Republic of China (PRC) has increasingly sought to revise the international order and global norms in a way that furthers its own strategic interests and undermines those of the United States specifically, and the West generally," the report says. "Militarily, China has embarked on a massive modernization drive — creating a 'blue water' navy, investing heavily in hypersonic weapons, developing its own fifth-generation fighter, militarizing a series of atolls and islets in the South China Sea to strengthen its claims in the region, and building its first overseas military base in Djibouti." Also disturbing, the report says, is China's use of technology to create "a post-modern authoritarian state in which the country's population is monitored around the clock through their phones and an ever-growing network of surveillance cameras equipped with facial-recognition technology. This 'digital authoritarianism' has not only been deployed at home, but has been increasingly marketed to aspiring authoritarians abroad."

Facebook Regulatory Counsel Joins Biden Transition Team As Zuckerberg Commits to Silencing Trump Victory Claims

 

Jessica Hertz, a former Associate General Counsel for regulatory matters at Facebook, has joined the transition team of Democratic Presidential campaign Joe Biden.

 

The hire speaks to the close relationship between the Biden camp and big tech platforms such as Facebook which frequently weaponizes its service to censor and suppress conservative users and content. In lockstep with narratives pushed by the Transition Integrity Project, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently declared the social media platform would aim to convince Americans that “there’s nothing illegitimate about this election taking additional days or even weeks” to identify the winner. Hertz is part of the campaign’s recent hiring spree for its transition team and joins the effort as a staff member carrying out day-to-day operations. She identifies herself as having “handled a wide range of government inquiries and regulatory investigations” while at Facebook, holding the position of Associate General Counsel for regulatory affairs starting in 2018 before being promoted to Director of the branch in 2019. And during Hertz’s tenure at the company, Facebook was embroiled in a host of controversies where conservatives – including President Trump – saw their content censored and, in some cases, de-platformed. A former partner at law firm Jenner & Block, Hertz assisted the company with “clients dealing with regulatory or other disputes with the government,” perhaps providing insight into the capacity she’ll be assisting the Biden campaign with: pushing social media platforms such as Facebook to echo the desires of the Biden campaign.

 

Hertz’s links to Biden, however, transcend her position on his transition team. She worked in the Obama White House from 2009 to 2014, where, from 2012 to 2014 she served as Principal Deputy Counsel to then-Vice President Biden. She’s also donated over $5,000 to Democratic candidates since the 2016 election cycle, with $2,000 being funneled directly to the Biden campaign. And Facebook is expected to play a larger role than usual in the 2020 election, with the platform, which nearly three-quarters of Americans use, vowing to suppress “premature claims of victory by candidates.” Echoing the Soros-funded Transition Integrity Project report, which insisted “the concept of election night, is no longer accurate and indeed is dangerous,” Zuckerberg remarked: “We may not know the final result on election night. One of the things I think we and other media need to start doing is preparing the American people that there’s nothing illegitimate about this election taking additional days or even weeks to make sure that all of the votes are counted. In fact, that might be important to make sure that this is a legitimate and fair election.” Twitter’s top lobbyist, Carlos Monje, also departed the social media company to join the Biden transition team.
