The FBI operates an indoctrination program for selected candidates and civilians called the FBI National Academy. This is different from the “FBI Academy” where FBI Agents are trained. The National Academy is a 6 week intensive program to develop assets and sources inside industry and other agencies who can provide access to persons and resources off the radar scope of normal judicially authorized searches and warrants. Alongside these people, all former FBI agents are considered mobilized assets to aid and assist with off-the-record probes and investigative leads without the knowledge of official legal counsel inside companies and businesses. The graduates of this program are then considered trusted insiders who have been given backstopped assurances that any inquiries about their relationship with the FBI will be concealed and withheld, and that the DOJ would decline revealing them as they’re considered “sources” or informants.
The FBI does this for two reasons: first, any cooperation they get from their graduates is considered voluntary and non-binding on FBI investigative rigor per their rules of professional conduct, and second it gives the agency an out by refusing to reveal who these people are of what assistance they’ve provided by claiming naming them would “compromise” sources and methods. Even companies which find out about these relationships and demand disclosure from the FBI for what company information may have been transmitted to them are told that anything provided is now considered “FBI data” and cannot be disclosed or returned. FOIA requests are stalled.
When James Baker landed at Twitter, his first job was likely to survey all personnel within three degrees of separation and determine whose job was within the critical path to perpetrate influence, and then start opening up informal channels of dialogue to make them receptive to being approached by “friends” outside of official company channels in a casual way. This is done over a periood of months until direct phonecalls and emails can be sent without raising suspicion of some FBI agenda. Then, when those channels are open, the field office agents start their social engineering effort to personalize the interactions and tee up notions bebeficial for the agency to set a program in place. They’ll use basic technical assistance and data requests to strat, and seed in narratives of “disinformation” may be coming.
In Twitter’s case it was to subvert their platform’s data integrity by degrading information supporting the Trump agenda and bolster narratives which drive interest away from factual reporting. Both Trump and anti-COVID postings were part of that effort. That’s why none of the Twitter executives can say how many former FBI agents are in the company’s employ. They got hired into levels of the company where their infleunce is concealed. The company ignored their own risk management guidelines out of fear of not being in favor with what they think is a cool power base of FBI friendliness. In short, they got snookered.
Here’s what you do right this minute: Issue a subpoena to the head of the FBI to immediately freeze, retain and disclose all information relative to the FBI National Academy– budgets, curricula, course content, speaker and presenter identities, and a list of all attendees and graduates, and related operational notes one when these people have been contacted, by whom, and what they’ve been used for. Anyone refusing should immediately be removed and suspended under threat of prosecution. Then contact the executive leadership of all these co-opted companies and ask them if they were aware of program graduates in their midst, what the nature of their interaction with FBI was, and what safeguards they put in place to prevent the FBI approaching them under color of authority. Have the companies demand of their employees full disclosure of all contacts and all pretexts used to get them to aid informal FBI operations. Then put out a call for all persons who graduated from this program to contact your office to describe their experiences, especially the indoctrination part of being indemnified. And immediately suspend funding for the program and bar the FBI from establishing anything new which accomplishes the same effect.
This is the FBI’s dirty sinkhole of penetration without effort, and is tied directly to the FBI’s informal program referred to as Going Dark…
