Judicial Watch: New Documents Reveal CDC Coordinated with Facebook on COVID Messaging and Alleged “Misinformation”

On Wednesday Judicial Watch announced the CDC coordinated with Facebook on COVID messaging and alleged “misinformation.”

The CDC and Facebook targeted media outlets, mostly conservative, that posted any factual information that differed from the CDC propaganda.

Via Judicial Watch:

Judicial Watch announced today that it received 2,469 pages of new documents from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which reveal that Facebook coordinated closely with the CDC to control the COVID narrative and “misinformation” and that over $3.5 million in free advertising given to the CDC by social media companies…

…The documents show collusion between the CDC and Big Tech on Covid-19 message and misinformation:

In an email exchange beginning on January 26, 2020 with the subject, “Data for Good | CDC intros,” a Facebook representative sends the “FB coronavirus narrative” to the CDC.

It states the following:

Facebook is taking a three pronged approached to the global response for the coronavirus:

Limit misinformation and other harmful content on our platforms. Our third-party fact-checkers have been rating information on this topic as false, including the AP, Politifact, AFP Hong Kong, Rapple IQ in the Philippines. As a result, we show people who come across that false content accurate information from our fact-checking partners and strong warning labels. We also send notifications to people who already shared this content alerting them that it’s been fact checked.

Provide accurate and helpful information on our platforms t our partners. Partners are already using our platforms to share accurate information about the situation, including ono Pages. We have also provided ad credits to the World Health Organization and the Philippines’ Department of Health to enable them to run coronavirus education campaigns on Facebook in-region, which we will continue to do. We’re continuing to explore additional steps we can take, including dedicated information modules on relevant search queries and improved search ranking.

Empower partners with data tools. We’re sharing aggregated mobility data and high resolution density maps with various partners (e.g., National Tsinghua University (Taiwan); Harvard School oof Public Health) to help inform forecasting models for the spread of the virus as part of our broader Data for Good program. We’re exploring doing this with a broader set of partners (e.g., WHO, US CDC) and also helping partners understand how people are talking about the issue online through tools like Crowdtangle to inform their efforts.

DoD to require everyone to wear masks regardless of vaccination status on Pentagon properties

The Department of Defense statement comes a day after the CDC recommended people wear masks indoors.

The United States Department of Defense announced Wednesday that everyone would be required to wear masks indoors at facilities "owned, leased or otherwise controlled by DoD in the Pentagon Reservation" regardless of vaccination status.

The DoD made the announcement in a statement after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday had updated its guidelines recommending that everyone, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks indoors as the new delta variant of the COVID-19 virus spreads.

"Effective immediately, in accordance with CDC guidelines and DoD direction, the Director of Administration & Management has directed that service members, federal employees, onsite contractor employees, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask in an indoor setting in installations and other facilities owned, leased or otherwise controlled by DoD in the Pentagon Reservation," the statement read.

The DoD's announcement follows the recent trend of resuming COVID precautions in many government entities. Masks and other lockdown-related moves have been making a comeback, such as in cities like Los Angeles and St. Louis, which have already reinstituted mask mandates.

Facilitating Disaster: An Overview of 11 September Finance, 22 August 2002

“The financial transactions that supported the 11 September attacks in many ways reflected the overall nature of the operation, relying on ostensibly legitimate activities carried out in the United States and Western Europe over the course of more than two years. The hijackers and their financial facilitators appear to have been well coached by an organizational leadership with lengthy experience in moving funds unobtrusively. In the pre-11 September atmosphere, the plotters’ clean personal histories and close adherence to an unobtrusive system of financial interaction that supported the plot could not-absent additional cause for suspicion have alerted US officials or financial sector observers to the impending disaster.”

The below document was referenced in the 9/11 Commission Report. Prior to the posting of it here, on The Black Vault, it appears it has never been released before to the general public and has never appeared online. It should be noted, other individuals did go after its declassification as well, and The Black Vault’s request was not alone in the effort to see this record declassified, even in part.

Although partially redacted, you can find the document below.

Google mandates vaccines for employees returning to office

Tech giant Google has declared that all of its employees returning to work in its offices will need to be vaccinated. Google’s decision comes as President Joe Biden mulls mandatory shots for all federal workers.

As the coronavirus pandemic took hold, Google sent the majority of its almost 140,000 employees home last March to work remotely. Now though, the tech giant’s campuses are reopening, and workers are returning to the office, but only once they’ve been vaccinated, CEO Sundar Pichai told his employees in an email on Wednesday.

“Anyone coming to work on our campuses will need to be vaccinated,” Pichai wrote, adding that the policy will be rolled out in the US in the coming weeks, and worldwide afterwards.

Staff who do not wish to return to in-person work will be able to work from home until October, he continued, and the company will also allow some staff to work primarily from home through the end of the year.

Google is the largest private corporation so far to make inoculation mandatory for its staff, but the entire US government might soon follow suit. President Joe Biden told reporters on Tuesday that a vaccine requirement for federal workers is “under consideration right now,” and media reports suggest that an announcement on the topic could come as early as Thursday.

Both Biden and Google apparently have the power to ask their workers to get jabbed. A review by the Justice Department concluded this week that both private and public entities can order workers to get vaccinated, even if the vaccines in question are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, as the current crop of coronavirus vaccines are not.

Google, however, has offices in 50 countries worldwide, and legal challenges against the vaccine mandate could be mounted in some of these locations. Pichai’s email noted that the mandate “will vary according to local conditions and regulations,” though no further details were provided.

Shortly after Pichai’s statement, Netflix announced that it will require all actors working on its productions in the US, and the staff in close contact with them, to be vaccinated.

Prime Minister says all Australians will have access to vaccine by Christmas but they won't stop lockdowns

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says every Australian will have access to the coronavirus vaccine by Christmas.

However he added higher vaccination rates won't necessarily stop lockdowns.

"We have caught up a lot of ground on this program and Australians are responding really well. We need that to continue not just in NSW but right around the country," Mr Morrison told Today.

"That's why I think the boosting of the AstraZeneca vaccine, the new advice from the immunisation advisory body is very important. It's a strong vaccine. It's an effective vaccine.

"It's the most recognised COVID-19 vaccine in the world and it saved millions of lives. And it can do the same here in NSW and across the country.

"So lifting those AstraZeneca vaccine rates in NSW will be incredibly helpful.

"(Vaccines) will certainly help the efforts with the lockdown. But on its own it won't stop the lockdown."

The Prime Minister said authorities and the community "have to make sure this lockdown is effective" as Sydney begins another four weeks of stay at home orders.

"I can't guarantee there won't be more lockdowns," Mr Morrison said.

Whistleblowers Say They Were Told To Downplay COVID Outbreak At Biden Child Migrant Camp Operated By Servpro

Two additional whistleblowers have come forward, accusing federal contractors and senior federal employee managers at a Department of Health and Human Services migrant shelter in Fort Bliss, TX of mistreating children and telling them to downplay hundreds of COVID-19 infections among the children detained at the facility.

"Covid was widespread among children and eventually spread to many employees. Hundreds of children contracted Covid in the overcrowded conditions. Adequate masks were not consistently provided to children, nor was their use consistently enforced," whistleblowers Arthur Pearlstein and Lauren Reinhold alleged in a federal whistleblower complaint filed on Wednesday, according to NBC News.

According to the complaint, workers at the camp were given regular written instructions from HHS public affairs that told them "when asked, to make everything sound positive about the Fort Bliss experience and to play down anything negative."

At a town hall with employees, a senior manager from the U.S. Public Health Service refused to share the rate of infections, explaining that he did not want the number to end up reported by the media, they said.

Pearlstein and Reinhold are federal employees who volunteered to be detailed to the shelter when the Biden administration ramped up staffing to accommodate the influx of unaccompanied children crossing the border by building emergency intake shelters like Fort Bliss and others.

NBC News previously reported that Servpro [!?], a company that specializes in disaster cleanup and has no child welfare experience, oversaw the care of nearly 5,000 children in Ft. Bliss in early May and June.

In their complaint, which was filed by lawyers from the Government Accountability Project, Pearlstein and Reinhold said two other contractors in addition to Servpro — Chenega Corporation and Rapid Deployment Inc. — also handled the close to $1 billion in contracts the federal government paid to operate Fort Bliss. None of the three companies had child care experience and they did not properly vet applicants to be sure they had relevant experience, they said.

As a result of the government using contractors with no childcare experience, federal detailees with no background in child psychology were tasked with interviewing over 5,000 children to determine whether they need special attention due to sex or labor trafficking, or a history of other abuse.

"They did their level best, flagging those who required special attention," reads the complaint.

A spokesperson for Servpro said on July 7 that a franchise holder operated the contract and that the company "immediately advised the franchise operator that these are not approved Servpro offerings," adding "We have been informed by the franchise operator that it is no longer providing these services through the Servpro franchise."

Woke Corporations Are ‘Apparatchiks Doing Propaganda for the Beijing Regime’

Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow, author of Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption, said Wednesday on Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight” that American corporations like Coca-Cola have essentially become “apparatchiks doing propaganda for the Beijing regime.”

Schmitt said, “Yeah, sure. Coca-Cola, one of the companies that condemned the Georgia voting law standing up for China now, I mean, what a moment this is.”

Marlow said, “This is such an important moment. I’ll tell you, when I wrote the book, really one of the major parts of it was just realizing how embedded our media conglomerates are with the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing. We’re seeing that the woke corporations that are guiding so much of our culture at this time, that are forcing places like you know, Major League Baseball to move the All-Star Game from majority Black Atlanta to Denver, Colorado.”

He continued, “These exact corporations are the ones you could take a bold stand, a brave stand, stand up to Communist China that is genocide in human beings, that is interning people, that is organ harvesting, there’s no human rights, that imprisons or disappeared journalists, they could take a stand right now with these Olympics and say we will not participate if they take place in China. Instead, you get this lying, lying straight through their teeth. These people are essentially apparatchiks doing propaganda for the Beijing regime.”

He added, “They’re so afraid of losing access to the Chinese market that they are willing to sell their souls, and that’s literally what they’re doing. And if you work for these corporations, here is the harsh reality, you are sadly part of it. This is something where there needs to be internal pressure the same way there’s been internal pressure for these organizations to not, you know, advertise on conservative websites or things like that, or stand by things that go against the woke social justice warrior status quo of 2021. The Chinese people are suffering, and people can stand up to these businesses right now and do something very meaningful.”
