British also demanded censorship
The British government had its CISA equivalent, called the Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU), in “hourly” contact with Facebook and Twitter.
The British government had its own censorship demand unit, like the American CISA that made State actors of social media. That big reveal happened in The Daily Telegraph last night.
The British CISA equivalent
The Telegraph reported on a “secret government COVID unit” tasked with suppressing challenges to the COVID narrative in the United Kingdom. This agency called itself the Counter Disinformation Unit, or CDU. Its alleged head, one Sarah Connolly, says CDU was in “hourly” contact with social media organs, including Facebook and Twitter. Already MP David Davis (Tory-Haltemprice and Howden) has called on the government to shut down the CDU.
Social media censored 90 percent of posts the CDU flagged for takedown, according to Mike Shellenberger’s digest of the article. Furthermore, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) now stands accused of unbalanced reporting. The Telegraph quotes three “journalists” as saying the Beeb’s reporting “lacked balance.” They further said a “climate of fear” existed at the Beeb to stop anyone from challenging its policies.
Beeb “presenter” Lisa Shaw famously took an AstraZeneca COVID vaccine to demonstrate her “patriotism.” She then died a month later – and came to autopsy. The Final Anatomical Diagnosis in her case was damning: multiple strokelets due to widespread blood clotting. This was due in turn to the mechanism of action of the vaccine. “Clot shot” has become a common nickname for vaccines by all manufacturers, especially AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson in America. (The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently took the Johnson and Johnson preparation off the market. But the Pfizer and Moderna preparations remain.)
A new exposé
Mr. Shellenberger used his brief thread, not only to share the Telegraph article, but to make a programming announcement. He, Russell Brand, and Matt Taibbi will appear at Central Hall, Westminster, London on Thursday, June 22, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. (Presumably, that’s British Time.) They will discuss the “Censorship Industrial Complex” before a British audience.
Shellenberger spoke of “an international effort to dismantle it.” Details will presumably come in that program.
