Public records requests have revealed that a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initiative aimed at censoring social media users during the 2020 election was funded by hardline ‘Never Trump’ figure and Biden donor Pierre Omidyar.
Omidyar, a French-born, Iranian-American billionaire founder of eBay, provided money to the Center for Internet Security (CIS) nonprofit to create its Misinformation Reporting Portal (MiRP), according to investigative reporter Lee Fang.
This portal was used by what Fang describes as a “coalition of liberal-leaning research groups,” including the Democratic National Committee – and excluding the Republican National Committee.
It operated under the supervision of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) which unlike the CIS itself, is a U.S. government agency answerable to the Department of Homeland Security.
Content flagged through its portal, “predominantly” posted by conservatives, was forwarded to moderation teams at Twitter and Facebook to be censored, at a 61 percent success rate.
Fang, who collaborated with journalist Matt Taibbi on the “Twitter Files,” stressed that his documentation confirms the “CIS and CISA worked together” to flag content, describing the arrangement as a “public-private partnership”.
The Never Trump Billionaire.
While accurately described as a major funder of organizations backing Biden’s bid for the presidency by Fang, Pierre Omidyar has also put money into well-known “RINO” (Republican In Name Only) groups.
As reported by The National Pulse in 2022, he put substantial sums into the Defending Democracy Together initiative founded by Never Trump commentator Bill Kristol.
Omidyar was also connected to the so-called Real Facebook Oversight Board affiliated with Russia Hoax ringmaster Christopher Steele, funding it via his George Soros-partnered Luminate foundation.
The news is certain to raise suspicions over far left money and it’s deployment in the upcoming 2024 election.
