A nefarious left-wing British advocacy group linked to the Biden Regime and Harris-Walz Campaign plans to “kill Musk’s Twitter” by harassing his advertisers and spurring regulatory action against the popular free speech platform.
The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3)nonprofit’s organization that was founded in 2017 by Imran Ahmed, a former British Labor political advisor who wrote a book attacking free-market thinker and Nobel-laureate economist Friedrich Hayek.
CCDH initially focused on pressuring big tech firms such as YouTube, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Instagram, and Apple to stop providing services to individuals or websites whom CCDH claimed promoted hate and misinformation. In mid-2020, CCDH began aiming its fire at critics of the regime’s COVID policies and the COVID “vaccines.”
At one point, American Greatness appeared on CCDH’s list of “racist fake news sites” in the number one spot. The group has also led boycotts against the Federalist, Breitbart, and Zero Hedge.
In March 2021, the group created a list of 12 social media accounts—dubbed “the disinformation dozen”—and claimed those people, who included Robert Kennedy Jr, were responsible for 65 percent of vaccine “misinformation.” The Biden-Harris White House coordinated with CCDH to censor these and other COVID “vaccine” critics on social media.
Now the group is apparently scheming with Democrats to “kill Musk’s Twitter” through “EU and UK regulatory action.”
Documents obtained by The DisInformation Chronicle and Racket reveal that the group’s top objective in 2024 was to destroy Musk’s free speech platform. Last May, the group set of meeting with Senator Amy Klobuchar’s staff, the documents show.
According to the documents and CCDH whistleblowers, the group held an invitation-only conference this past summer in Washington D.C.
Attendees at CCDH’s private event included a slew of liberal groups now organizing against Musk including a senior advisor at the White House, a Democratic Party staffer in the office of Congressman Adam Schiff, Biden/Harris State Department officials, Canadian MP Peter Julian (recently tweeted “Boycott all advertisers on Twitter”) and Media Matters for America (a Democratic party-aligned watchdog now locked in a lawsuit with Musk).
CCDH’s 2024 strategy has been to attack X’s advertising revenue, and impose broader regulatory changes in the direction of platform censorship.
“60 meetings on the Hill,” reads one CCDH task assignment from early 2024. “Meeting with 16 congressional offices over the next two weeks to give updates on the Elon lawsuit,” another said, referring to Musk’s since-dismissed lawsuit against CCDH accusing it of manipulating data.
CCDH also held meetings with federal legislators while pushing for “change in USA” toward a censorious proposal it calls the “STAR framework,” which would create an “independent digital regulator” that could “impose consequences for harmful content.” STAR’s core concepts are similar to Europe’s just-instituted Digital Services Act and Britain’s even more stringent Online Safety Act, which puts the national media regulator Ofcom in charge of determining fines for uncooperative platforms.
The latter law has been the basis for Starmer and Ofcom threatening Musk with “strong action” in the wake of this summer’s riots, which the UK claims were fueled by disinformation.
CCDH somehow maintains its special tax exempt status despite the group lobbying activities on Capitol Hill, the DisInformation Chronicle noted.
Last year in the Guardian, Ahmed credited CCDH for being “at the forefront of reporting on the hate proliferating on X/Twitter since Musk completed his takeover in late October 2022.”
Far-left British political operative Morgan McSweeney, a former CCDH board member, and current chief of staff for Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, founded the Labor party’s neoliberal think tank, Labour Together, which is now reportedly advising the Kamala Harris campaign.
According to Politico, political operatives from Labour Together “have been teaching election strategy to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”
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 Sue Gray. McSweeney is lionized, 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. For example, Starmer countered former Conservative PM Rishi Sunak’s accusations of being soft on immigration by promising to “smash the criminal boat gangs” bringing migrants across the English channel.
The new British government also believes that a Harris defeat would leave Starmer “alone” as the “keeper of the center-left flame” and in “worrying isolation” as “the Grand Atlantic Alliance’s last hope.” On top of providing election strategy, over 100 “current and former Labour staffers” have begun knocking on doors for Harris this summer, drawing howls from Trump surrogates such as Sebastian Gorka, who called it a “bloody outrage.”
During the George Floyd riots in 2020, a now-defunct CCDH offshoot called Stop Funding Fake News led multiple successful boycotts of media outlets in the U.S., including Zero Hedge and the Federalist.
“CCDH went directly after us and he worked with Google when they briefly suspended all advertising on Zero Hedge, our primary source of revenue then,” recalls Zero Hedge editor Tyler Durden, noting that the boycott came after CCDH worked with NBC on an article depicting them as racist for claiming damage from BLM riots was under-covered. Similar tactics led to demonetization of The Federalist, whose apparent crime was a June 3, 2020 piece called, “The Media Are Lying to You About Everything, Including the Riots.” Like Zero Hedge, The Federalist criticized mainstream coverage of BLM protests, including calling not-yet-fired CNN anchor Don Lemon a “not very bright man.”
“NBC News colluded with a foreign left-wing group in an attempt to destroy us because it disagrees with our political commentary and media criticism,” The Federalist editor Mollie Hemingway told The Wall Street Journal at the time.
Meanwhile, CCDH launched a separate campaign against Substack claiming the company profited from vaccine disinformation. It failed, as the firm “essentially told them to fuck off” when asked to ban contributors like Alex Berenson and Dr. Joseph Mercola from the platform, as a person with ties to the company put it. Berenson’s crime was the headline, “Vaccines don’t stop Covid hospitalizations or deaths,” an article based on a Journal of the American Medical Association report.
“At Substack, we don’t make moderation decisions based on public pressure,” wrote Substack’s then-PR Director Lulu Meservey. CCDH then reportedly “backed off.”
In August 2023, U.S House Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to CCDH demanding it release a list of its funders as well as communications it has had with social media companies and federal agencies accused of attempting to censor Americans. After failing to do so, Jordan sent a subpoena to the organization while accusing the latter of colluding with the Biden Administration.
“This was a political project from the beginning by Labour Together that hid its political origins, which is especially ironic as it’s created its own exercise in fake news and disinformation, said DisInformation Chronicle’s Paul Holden. “It’s extremely disturbing that Imran has influence in the US, considering his key aim is to censor speech he disagrees with.”
Musk responded to the report on X, posting “this is war.”
In a subsequent post, Musk wrote: “Freedom of speech in the West is at stake in this election – vote for @realDonaldTrump to keep your rights!”
