Biden/Harris Team Systematically Manipulated Voters Into Thinking Biden's Mental Decline Was "Disinformation"
I invite you to imagine what the reaction would be like if the Trump White House did this.
In a Zoom recording recently discovered by Matt Orfalea (shared on X), the Biden/Harris team revealed how they manipulated voters into thinking Biden’s mental decline was “disinformation.”
Biden/Harris Digital Director Rob Flaherty said that the DNC created a program to detect, track, and censor what it deemed “misinformation” (like Biden’s mental decline). He called it “critical” and “one of the more important decisions” made by the Democratic Party in recent years.
Emails show Flaherty carrying out this “counter-misinformation” program in the White House, pushing Facebook to censor Tucker Carlson for correctly saying that the COVID-19 vaccine didn’t stop transmission, and Tomi Lahren for her strong “my body, my choice” stance.
Despite leading the Biden White House’s efforts to censor “misinformation,” when asked under oath to define “misinformation,” Flaherty refused.
But in the Zoom call, Flaherty said “misinformation narratives” include “conversation online about corruption or mental fitness...or [Biden’s] record on the Crime Bill”—effectively defining “misinformation” as anything that the Biden team found inconvenient.
Becca Rinkevich, Biden’s Rapid Response Director (later White House Deputy Director of Digital Strategy), also classified talk of Biden’s mental decline as “disinformation”— in this case, “disinformation around his mental acuity.”
The Biden/Harris team micro-targeted voters exposed to the “disinformation” of Biden’s mental decline. They used psychographic targeting, a tactic that Cambridge Analytica was highly scrutinized for after the 2016 election.
RINKEVICH: “We targeted folks based on online behavioral cues, building out personas, based on the type of content they were consuming, what they were searching, the kinds of websites they were visiting so that we could target folks in real-time as they were exposed to that disinformation.”
“Flaherty and Rinkevich saw the opportunity to grab a voter at a moment of curiosity and then, essentially, keep badgering her as she traveled across the internet,” writes journalist Sasha Issenberg in his book Lie Detectives.
If you typed the words “Biden” and “senile” in a search bar, you’d be shown short videos of Biden speaking clearly. Upon hearing this, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes exclaimed, “Wow.”
Biden’s team also deployed an army of online influencers to fight “disinformation.” When asked for an example of “disinformation” countered with this “digital organizing,” Flaherty said the “question about [Biden’s] mental fitness.”
Joining Flaherty and Rinkevich on Zoom was the DNC Counter-Disinformation Program creator and lead analyst, Tim Durigan. His reports, according to Flaherty, “went to the highest levels of the [Biden] campaign.”
The #TwitterFiles showed Durigan tried to censor many posts, including a video mashup of Biden coughing that was posted by Jack Posobiec. Durigan failed in the one instance, but it seems other such efforts were successful. According to Lie Detectives, he also “cultivated ties” with Google and Facebook.
The Zoom host asks about the “big problem” of “true misinformation.” Durigan says that it’s a “huge problem” and wants social media to suppress “true misinformation” to promote “authoritative” news sources like The New York Times.
A month later, the “authoritative” NYT celebrated the Biden/Harris team and called concerns about Biden’s mental health “baseless rumors” and “misinformation” pushed by “right-wing influencers.”
But the Biden team didn’t just get the media to forward their deception, they changed real votes. According to Rinkevich, “concern around [Biden’s] mental acuity in particular went down by 8 points over the course of our campaign,” resulting in “about 200K” votes for Biden.
For perspective, Biden won by fewer than 200K votes in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin…combined.
Today, Rinkevich runs the Institute of Rebooting Social Media at Harvard; Durigan leads DNC disinformation analysis; and Flaherty is Deputy Campaign Manager overseeing digital ads and social media for Kamala Harris despite her past criticism of the intrusive data collection he exploits.
Look at how young, earnest, dedicated and passionate for Justice™ our ambitious Lie Detectives are. They don't need to read, think or debate to parse the difference between an undeniable fact and a brazen lie, they know for certain that they literally incarnate Truth in their blood and bones.
A lie is simply something stated by the other party and its evil members—Hunter's laptop, Covid vaccines, Joe's yearslong senility were all obvious lies because the claims were stated by the wrong people, who have the wrong beliefs, went to the wrong schools and vote for the wrong candidates.
The Truth™ is always only whatever the Party needs to be true on that day, in that moment, to win the day's skirmish in the eternal war of Red v Blue and lead us all to the "right side of History". (Insert obligatory Orwell quote here.)
There's only one thing for certain: our Lie Detectives already have golden resumes with Harvard, Google, the DNC, McKinsey etc sprinkled liberally throughout—none of them will ever miss a meal or a promotion or ever be caught with an unapproved thought inside their heads.
Their ability to gaslight relies upon a massive and certainly illegal income stream via Act Blue and others, and the inherent stupidity of collectivists. We need control of the Executive at a minimum to do anything about the former.
If Trump survives, wins and is inaugurated, the DC psychopaths have already mapped out what they will do if they have either House or Senate. They know Trump admin will investigate and expose the election 2020 steal, this will end the Democrats, possibly forever, and it should. Treason should have a serious price. GOP Congress could now be exposing the weaponization of the FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc. but they are owned almost as much as the Dems by all the usual suspects, AIPAC, China, etc.
Best case scenario at this point is massive asteroid obliterating DC, nothing else will dislodge these demons.
