Spooks in Silicon Valley: Flow of U.S. intelligence analysts into Big Tech jobs raises alarm

The Spooks-to-Silicon Valley Pipeline

  • At least 200 former workers of the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Security Agency, and National Security Council have landed Silicon Valley jobs, many within content moderation units regulating supposed "disinformation" and disproportionately okthrottling news and opinion deviating from approved, left-tilting norms.
  • There is little consensus about what should be done and what is legal.

Some of the federal intel veterans are less inhibited about expressing biases

  • Nick Rossmann, former CIA analyst and current senior manager of Trust & Safety at Google, overtly supported defeated 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
  • Said Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner should be strangled and declared, "Anti-vaxxers are like Nazis"

Jacqueline Lopour, a Hillary Clinton supporter and former CIA analyst, is currently Google Senior Manager, Intel Collection, Trust & Safety

  • In that capacity, she manages “Intel operations spanning multiple threat verticals, including violent extremism, cyber threats, misinformation, hate speech, spam, fraud, security and privacy, and more.”
  • Recent reporting shows the FBI and other rogue agencies have been systematically colluding with former national security officials placed in high positions at Twitter and likely other companies to advance their censorship regime.

The suppression of dissenting doctors and health experts had nothing to do with science or saving lives

  • Trump called on the new Congress to investigate the FBI and other federal agencies in censoring lawful speech
  • Former high-ranking Trump administration national security aide Kash Patel told the John Solomon Reports podcast that any elected officials colluding with Big Tech for censorship purposes need to be held accountable

Twitter currently employs at least 10 former FBI agents

  • Just the News reached out to several former members of the intelligence community now employed by Big Tech for comment but has received no replies.
  • Facebook, Google, and Twitter, along with the FBI, NSA, and DOD, declined to comment.
