British Censorship Group Linked to Starmer and Kamala Harris Plots to “Kill Musk’s Twitter”, Leaked Documents Show
Leaked documents from the Centre for Countering Digital Hate – the censorship outfit founded by Keir Starmer’s new Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney – show the group plans to “kill Musk’s Twitter” while strengthening ties with the Democrats. Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi have the story in the DisInformation Chronicle.
In an explosive leak with ramifications for the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, internal documents from the Centre for Countering Digital Hate — whose founder is British political operative Morgan McSweeney, now advising the Kamala Harris campaign — show the group plans in writing to “kill Musk’s Twitter” while strengthening ties with the Biden/Harris administration and Democrats like Senator Amy Klobuchar, who has introduced multiple bills to regulate online “misinformation”.
Senator Klobuchar’s office did not respond to request for comment.
The documents obtained by the DisInformation Chronicle and Racket show CCDH’s hyperfocus on Musk — “Kill Musk’s Twitter” is the first item in the template of its monthly agenda notes dating back to the early months of this year.
The Centre for Countering Digital Hate is the anti-disinformation activist ally of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, and a messaging vehicle for Labour’s neoliberal think tank, Labour Together. Both the CCDH and Labour Together were founded by Morgan McSweeney, a Svengali credited with piloting Starmer’s rise to Downing Street, much as Karl Rove is credited with guiding George W. Bush to the White House.
The CCDH documents carry particular importance because McSweeney’s Labour Together political operatives have been teaching election strategy to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, leading Politico to call Labour and the Democrats “sister parties”. CCDH’s focus on “Kill Musk’s Twitter” also adds to legal questions about the nonprofit’s tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organisation.
According to the IRS, CCDH could lose its special tax status if “a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation”. Yet, CCDH’s third item on its annual priority list is “Trigger EU and U.K. regulatory action” and the group previously employed the firm Lot 16 to lobby congressional offices on “misinformation” in Washington.
Both the DisInformation Chronicle and Racket have sent multiple, extensive questions to CCDH’s current CEO Imran Ahmed, another British political operative tied to McSweeney’s Labour Together. Despite repeated requests for comment, Ahmed has refused to respond.
In the last two months, the Washington Post and Politico, among others, have run a series of features about British advisors from Labour Together rescuing the distressed political damsel that is the Harris/Walz campaign. Politico casts McSweeney as the “election mastermind” who first helped Keir Starmer defeat Leftist Jeremy Corbyn to become the head of Labour, all the way to Starmer’s “landslide” win over Conservatives to become Prime Minister this past July, implying that McSweeney and his team can perform a similar miracle for Harris.
McSweeney is an ascendant figure, having just been promoted to Starmer’s Chief of Staff in something of a palace coup after the abrupt resignation of longtime Labour fixture [sic] Sue Gray. McSweeney is lionised, not just for a Carville-style Rightward tilt within the party, but for mastery of fundraising and dark money, having reportedly pulled a host of new wealthy donors to Labour in the last two years.
After 25 years of the “special relationship” being essentially “one-way traffic”, with Washington politicos advising the Brits, the Democrats “now believe they actually have something to learn from Labour”, as Politico explained. Democrats will supposedly learn from Labour’s tactical brilliance.
Worth reading in full.
“Tactical brilliance” that convinced just 20% of eligible voters to cast their ballots for the party, gaining a paltry 33.8% vote share. I suppose it’s all relative. If the Democrat leadership can’t understand that Starmer only won because the Right was divided and the Tories utterly discredited then it seems they really do have a lot to learn – though not from Labour, obviously.
Stop Press: Musk, naturally, has declared war on CCDH and its donors, calling it illegal election interference. (The Telegraph has the story.) Popcorn time.
This is war https://t.co/tesncwEoXE
