My colleague and Federalist contributor Ben Weingarten recently wrote an article for the New York Post, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/12\/09\/inside-revolving-door-between-democrat-deep-state-and-big-tech\/\">Inside revolving door between Democrat Deep State and Big Tech<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In addition to covering what was happening at Twitter, Weingarten details a broader number of suspicious links between Silicon Valley and U.S. intelligence agencies. Given the near-constant string of deep-state scandals and social media censorship we\u2019ve endured in recent years, a big question we should all be trying to answer right now is, \u201cWhat exactly are all these spooks doing at tech companies?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So far, the answer appears to be: \u201cThey\u2019re almost certainly up to no good.\u201d After the first batch of \u201cTwitter Files\u201d dropped, it was revealed that Elon Musk fired Twitter Deputy General Counsel James Baker. Prior to going to work at Twitter, Baker was a top lawyer at the FBI from 2014 to 2017. In that capacity, he played a significant role in shepherding FBI\u2019s baseless and illegal Russiagate investigation. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s probably safe to assume one of the reasons Baker exited the FBI was to dodge any accountability for the FBI\u2019s reckless and politically motivated attempt to investigate the president of the United States. Twitter was a pretty soft landing. <\/p>\n<p>Or at least it was, until it was revealed that Baker, who was still employed at Twitter as of a few weeks ago, got fired after he intercepted the internal company communications Musk was giving to journalists Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss to expose the censorship and misdeeds of the company\u2019s previous management. Nobody has quite figured out what he was doing, but there\u2019s widespread speculation Baker may have removed Twitter communications with the FBI or other damning info before it could become public. <\/p>\n<p>Yes, large global corporations need high-level, discreet corporate security, and potentially for benign purposes the particular skillsets that former law enforcement and intelligence personnel provide. However, the situation with Baker makes the problem plenty obvious. If you\u2019re inclined to automatically trust the professionalism and integrity of the FBI and CIA, please have your head examined. <\/p>\n<p>I want to know how many of these FBI and CIA agents are \u201csheep dipped.\u201d In the intelligence world, \u201csheep dipping\u201d is a term of art. It describes a tactic whereby a member of the military is \u201cofficially discharged from service\u201d to do covert work. In secret, they are still eligible for rank promotions and military benefits. <\/p>\n<p>I first learned the term from my father, because he was \u201csheep dipped.\u201d He worked for the CIA in Laos in the early 1960s lead-up to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That so few people are curious about the nexus between intel agencies and Big Tech should be a national scandal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":274,"featured_media":1781026,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[10504,4967,7362,6997,10505,5591,6919,4989,4253],"class_list":["post-1781023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-sheep","tag-agents","tag-cia","tag-companies","tag-dipped","tag-fbi","tag-federalist","tag-tech","tag-twitter"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1781023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/274"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1781023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1781023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1781026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1781023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1781023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1781023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
