Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter Inc., revealed via journalist Matt Taibbi on December 24, 2022 that the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) forwarded The American Report’s exposé on HAMMER and SCORECARD, published three days before the 2020 U.S. election, to Twitter executives, to have the article censored and shadowbanned.
Following Taibbi’s exposure that the FBI and Twitter censored The American Report’s HAMMER and SCORECARD reporting, a conversation among Twitter influencers, including Kim Dotcom, ensued during a December 24, 2022 Twitter Spaces conversation.
“If the U.S. government wants this to be removed there’s probably some truth to it. I mean, why else would they want to censor something that looks conspiratorial? … I’m going to do some reading about THE HAMMER,” Kim Dotcom stated during the Twitter Spaces conversation.
The FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) forwarded to Twitter executives The American Report’s October 31, 2020 exposé “Biden Using SCORECARD And THE HAMMER To Steal Another U.S. Presidential Election — Just Like Obama And Biden Did In 2012,” according to the December 24, 2022 “Twitter Files” drop by reporter Matt Taibbi, “THREAD: The Twitter Files TWITTER AND OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.”
The American Report’s October 31, 2020 article presented exclusive reporting regarding THE HAMMER, SCORECARD, and CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery.
During A December 24, 2022 Twitter Spaces LIVE Conversation Following Taibbi’s Twitter Files Drop, Kim Dotcom Reacted To The Discovery That The FBI And Twitter, Working With The CIA, Censored The American Report’s Exposure Of HAMMER And SCORECARD: “If the U.S. government wants this to be removed there’s probably some truth to it. I mean, why else would they want to censor something that looks conspiratorial? … I’m going to do some reading about THE HAMMER.”

Musk and Taibbi’s exposure of covert efforts by the U.S. government’s FBI, which unlawfully and unconstitutionally co-conspired with CIA officials inside the FITF (,Foreign Influence Task Force) to censor The American Report’s exclusive HAMMER and SCORECARD reporting, prompted Kim Dotcom, founder of New Zealand’s Internet Party, to comment “If the U.S. government wants this to be removed there’s probably some truth to it. I mean, why else would they want to censor something that looks conspiratorial? …I’m going to do some reading about THE HAMMER.”

On December 24, 2022, a virtual symposium of social media influencers methodically read through the December 24, 2022 “Twitter Files” drop by reporter Matt Taibbi, “THREAD: The Twitter Files TWITTER AND OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.
Cheong read Taibbi’s tweet #30 aloud to the group:
It seemed to strike no one as strange that a “Foreign Influence” task force was forwarding thousands of mostly domestic reports, along with the DHS, about the fringiest material.
Cheong went on to read the title and a few opening words from The American Report’s October 31, 2020 exposé “Biden Using SCORECARD And THE HAMMER To Steal Another U.S. Presidential Election — Just Like Obama And Biden Did In 2012,”
The reaction from members of the group to Taibbi’s tweet #30 and The American Report HAMMER and SCORECARD article was quite interesting.
KIM DOTCOM:
“You know what the funny thing is about this? If the U.S. government wants this to be removed there’s probably some truth to it. I mean, why else would they want to censor something that looks conspiratorial?”
IAN MILES CHEONG:
“Good stuff. Now everyone needs to look up HAMMER and SCORECARD. What the hell is that? Curious? I’ll bet it’s on Rumble somewhere, you know, or, or, or, what’s the other site, Bitchute. Yeah, I bet somebody did a video on it.
JIM PFAFF:
I’m looking it up. But, there was a General McInerney right after the election who was speaking to stuff like this related to Dominion. I could never validate that there was any truth from it. But he was a three-star general in the United States Army [United States Air Force] and was making claims to this. I’m looking it up now and maybe as we’re talking about it later we can flush it out. But there was some discussion on this…
IAN MILES CHEONG:
Right. Yeah. And why would they want that suppressed? Hmm. Makes you think. Makes you think.
KIM DOTCOM:
I’m going to do some reading about THE HAMMER.
IAN MILES CHEONG:
Right. yeah. I mean the site is probably just bullshit, but there’s probably something to it as well, right? Like, why else would they be concerned with this? Hmm. Very strange why they would want to ban this.
“The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government – from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA,” Taibbi tweeted on December 24.
The CIA A.K.A. OGA “Other Government Organization” Is Part Of The FBI Foreign Influence Task Force That Censored The American Report’s HAMMER And SCORECARD Reporting
Taibbi revealed in another December 24 tweet that “One of the most common forums was a regular meeting of the multi-agency Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), attended by spates of executives, FBI personnel, and – nearly always – one or two attendees marked ‘OGA.’”
“‘OGA, or ‘Other Government Organization,’ can be a euphemism for CIA, according to multiple former intelligence officials and contractors,” Taibbi explained in an earlier tweet from the same thread.
“It was an open secret at Twitter that one of its executives was ex-CIA, which is why [FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis] Chan referred to that executive’s ‘former employer,’” Taibbi added in another tweet.
Former Intelligence Community Officer Kory Edwards Discussed Executive Order 12333 During #TwitterFiles Drop LIVE COVERAGE, December 24, 2022 (Time Stamp 54:44)
Kory Edwards
KORY EDWARDS:
…None of you know who I am or what my background is, but if you look at my profile you can see I spent 23 years as a federal intelligence officer. I basically gave up my six-figure GS14 income … because I was sick of some of the things I was seeing in government. In a lot of these conversations, I’m watching you folks and I’m just, I want to pull my hair out. So many of you are so close to the truth, but you’re not, it’s kind of like hitting all around putting the tail on the donkey but you’re not going for where it’s at.
So, I just want to point out a few things and just kind of try to guide some of you in your research. First of all, does anyone know what governs collection of intelligence information for U.S. agencies? Who knows what document, or what statute, exactly what governs intelligence collection in the United States? And this is where I get frustrated because a lot of people who speak on these issues have no clue.
The answer to that question is Executive Order One, Two, Triple Three [12333].
So, if you want to get closer to the truth, look at Executive Order One, Two, Triple Three [12333].
It’s an executive order. It’s not a federal statute and all that. That is the primary document that governs intelligence collection. When you go from there and you read into it, look at the part that talks about collecting on U.S. persons. It’s U.S. citizens, anybody that works for a U.S. company, at home or abroad, anybody who is living within the United States. And then you look at where it talks about information freely given by a U.S. citizen. Well, shoot, that’s dang near everything posted on social media. It would be a person on social media posting that. So when digital talks about an illegal basis, I could see his point. An illegal standing. Because one is freely-given information that you’re putting out there. Two, the end-around to this is you are not supposed to collect or retain information on U.S. persons without the approval of the Attorney General. OK. I can tell you, having been in intelligence for 23 years, most of the stuff I know now, I did not know until I reached the GS14 level. I did not know until I worked certain operations and certain missions. Your average intelligence officer has no clue. They are out there, they’re doing their job protecting the country, believing all that, and in doing what they feel is right.
The minute you step outside that line, you are ostracized. I had my clearance, not taken away, but unable to renew it. You know, my TS/SCI. Basically, a code put on my records so that I can’t be hired again by the federal government because I stepped out of line. I called some stuff that, I’m like, “look, this isn’t right. Especially when I was asked directly by a governor to collect intelligence against protestors. Peaceful protestors. And when I refused because it’s a violation of civil rights and civil liberties, I was removed. I was basically ordered that I was going to be transferred up to DC to sit in a corner and color the See Something Say Something campaign.
You know, I’m like no. At this point in my career, I’m not going to go and basically screen gossip. Not doing that.
But look at Executive Order One, Two, Triple Three [12333]. When it talks about retaining information, where does the government retain most of their classified information anymore? You would think a government that’s so secretive, that wants to protect national security secrets, would keep it within the government, right?
Why is it going to Microsoft Azure? Why is it going to AWS [Amazon Web Services]? Why are they using those cloud platforms so heavily? Why? Why would they take that chance?
Because it’s not being hosted by the U.S. government. It’s not being collected by the U.S. government. How do you avoid, how do you end run around all these legal issues?
You buy data. You don’t collect it. You buy it. You buy it. You store it on a cloud. You store it on a stand-alone system, so if the stand-alone system needs to disappear, it disappears.
And one of the frustrating things from my point of view is nobody seems to care. I don’t have a huge following. I’m not a well-known commentator or anything.
The American Report Previously Published Two Articles About Executive Order 12333
We wrote in our December 17, 2022 article at The American Report ““Who Knew About THE HAMMER? Wendy Sherman, Kissinger Associates President, Obama’s CIA General Counsel On Obama WH Intelligence Advisory Board; AG Lynch’s 2017 EO 12333 Update Allows CIA To Use FBI “Special Collection Techniques”” — The American Report”:
According to The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines (emphasis added), Issued by President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch two days before President Trump’s January 2017 innauguration:
The use of special collection techniques is highly restricted. A special collection technique is any technique that would require a warrant if the technique were used in the United States for law enforcement purposes. Electronic surveillance or a search of a home or office are examples of special collection techniques. With narrowly defined exceptions regarding testing and training, the CIA may not use special collection techniques in the United States. The CIA is, however, permitted to ask another federal agency to perform special collection techniques in the United States under that agency’s legal authorities. The CIA may also provide technical equipment or knowledge to another federal agency in conducting authorized special collection in the United States with the approval of the CIA’s General Counsel. The CIA may conduct special techniques outside the United States that target a United States person only with the approval of the Director of the CIA (or his designee), the CIA General Counsel, the Attorney General, and (where applicable) the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
…Oregon Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who previously clashed with Brennan over the CIA’s illegal surveillance of Senate computers, is urging the FTC to investigate Neustar’s collection of DNS records from unsuspecting Americans and the subsequent transfer of those DNS records to a Department of Defense research project involving the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Wyden previously raised the alarm about Lynch’s update to EO 12333.
Bloomberg Law reported:
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is urging the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether a digital security company misled consumers by reportedly selling Americans’ web browsing data to a Department of Defense-funded research project.
Neustar Security Services may have breached privacy promises in violation of US consumer protection law, Wyden wrote in a Thursday letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan.
The senator’s request for a probe reflects his ongoing concern that government agencies are bypassing legal requirements for search warrants by purchasing data that the private sector has collected on Americans’ online habits.
Senator Wyden previously clashed with John Brennan over the shocking discovery that the CIA under Brennan illegally spied on Senate computers.
We also previously wrote in our February 13, 2022 article at The American Report “HAMMERING Out Their Cover Story Two Days Before Trump Inauguration: Obama’s AG Lynch, CIA Boss Brennan Suddenly ‘Updated’ CIA’s 1981 Executive Order 12333 Domestic Bulk Surveillance Guidelines; DURHAM: Clinton Campaign Paid ‘Tech Exec-1’ To Hack Trump Tower, White House”:
On January 18, 2017, just two days before President Donald Trump’s inauguration, President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan suddenly issued the CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines. Executive Order 12333 was initially issued in 1981…
…The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines were brought into focus on Thursday, February 10, 2022 when the Associated Press reported that U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) of the Senate Intelligence Committee wrote a classified April 13, 2021 letter to senior Biden Administration intelligence officials requesting declassification of the Deep Dive II report on illegal CIA bulk collection surveillance data about Americans…
…Was the Loretta Lynch – John Brennan January 2017 operation to issue the CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines only two days before President Trump’s inauguration an effort to provide a cover story for the illegal domestic surveillance that was being conducted by Brennan’s CIA and James Comey’s FBI that spied on President Trump via THE HAMMER?
There Were People On The Call Who Were Given Information About HAMMER And SCORECARD Long Before The Call
During The Twitter Spaces Conversation With Kim Dotcom, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton Said Absolutely Nothing About The FBI And Twitter Censoring The American Report’s HAMMER And SCORECARD Article, Despite The Fact That Fitton Appeared On Lou Dobbs Tonight In November 2020 While Sidney Powell Talked About HAMMER And SCORECARD In Detail
Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch
Tom Fitton never said a word to Kim Dotcom and the other participants on the Twitter Spaces live audio conversation regarding HAMMER and SCORECARD or The American Report’s censored article, despite the fact that Fitton had appeared on the November 8, 2020 broadcast of FOX Business Lou Dobbs Tonight during a segment with attorney Sidney Powell while Powell discussed HAMMER and SCORECARD in great detail.
Tom Fitton had also received a manuscript to the book “THE HAMMER is the Key to the Coup “The Political Crime of the Century”: How Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and the CIA spied on President Trump, General Flynn … and everyone else.”
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton Reacts To Sidney Powell’s Statements On Lou Dobbs Tonight On November 8, 2020 Regarding HAMMER And SCORECARD: “I mean, there have been noises about it on the internet, but I don’t know anything beyond what Sidney’s reporting now”
VIDEO: Sidney Powell, Tom Fitton, Lou Dobbs Discuss Hammer Scorecard:
SIDNEY POWELL:
I think there are any number of things they need to investigate, including the likelihood that three percent of the vote total was changed in the pre-election voting ballots that were collected digitally by using THE HAMMER program and a software program called SCORECARD. That would have amounted to a massive change in the vote that would have gone across the country and explains a lot of what we are seeing. In addition, they ran an algorithm to calculate votes they might need to come up with for Mr. Biden in specific areas. I think that explains what happened in Michigan, where the computer glitch resulted in a change of votes of about 5,500 in favor of President Trump just in one of 47 districts. All those districts need to be checked for that same quote “software glitch” end quote that would change the results in Michigan dramatically. The same thing is happening in other states. We’ve had hundreds of thousands of ballots mysteriously appear solely for Mr. Biden, which is statistically impossible as a matter of mathematics. It can all be documented. We are putting it into materials that we will file in federal court and we need to seek relief in multiple states to enjoin the certification of any election results.
LOU DOBBS:
Tom Fitton. As you listen to Sidney, that sounds like a strong case for a straightforward allegation of fraud. The two programs that she just mentioned [HAMMER and SCORECARD], I’m going to ask you right now, have you ever heard of them? Because I had not heard of them.
TOM FITTON:
I mean, there have been noises about it on the internet, but I don’t know anything beyond what Sidney’s reporting now…
LOU DOBBS:
Well Sidney, let’s go back to HAMMER and SCORECARD. Are those the names that you just used for those programs? What’s being done about it and how broadly were they used by vote counters in various states?
SIDNEY POWELL:
I think they were very broadly used, but not by the vote counters. They were used by the forces in the democratic operatives that had access to these programs through the government access points that they have and used it illegally to change votes in this country. It’s got to be investigated properly by the president’s trusted military intelligence officials who can get into the system and see what was done. But we do have some evidence that that is exactly what happened. And they’ve used it against other entities and other countries. It’s just been turned recently against our own citizens here to change election results. It’s absolutely appalling that that can be done. And whether it’s called “computer glitches” or something else, somebody has actually gone into the system and changed voting results.
LOU DOBBS:
That’s called intervention in our elections. Irrespective I guess, if they were Russia or China, we would refer to them as meddling. But it’s intervention, and it’s also crooked as hell, rigging this election, no matter the jurisdiction, whether it’s Michigan, Georgia, wherever it might be. What can we do about it, because the Department of Justice, I mean, if there is evidence of that program, why not just turn it over to the Justice Department and go to the courts and say “this has got to stop now, here is they way in which it was done”?
SIDNEY POWELL:
Well, we’ve been trying to get their attention and we’re going to try even harder and we’ll have to put it in the federal lawsuit, apparently, and get as much of it out as we possibly can. We have some excellent witnesses on the issue, but this is Coup 5.0 Lou.
“This is Coup 5.0 Lou.” — Sidney Powell
I mean, there was no reason to think that the democratic operatives who spent hundreds of millions of dollars creating the Russia hoax, the Steele Dossier, taking us through a special counsel operation for two years, trying an impeachment hoax, the apocalypse hoax, the obstruction hoax, wouldn’t go so far as to create every means of voter fraud they could come up with to steal this election. That’s exactly what happens. The president must fight back now in every way, shape, or form. We cannot let this Republic be stolen by the democratic operatives who want to destroy the Republic and make it a socialist country where they continue to line their pockets with these backdoor global deals like the Biden “Laptop from Hell” exposes.

The Legacy Media And FBI/CIA-Led Social Media Censors Discard HAMMER And Scorecard Information “The Big Lie” And “Election Denialism,” Despite That FBI Received Evidence From CIA Contractor-Turned-Whistleblower Dennis Montgomery
Elon Musk’s team has gradually been releasing Twitter’s internal communications via several reporters in a series of tranches known as the Twitter Files.
Musk’s decision to release evidence that the FBI’s FITF forwarded one of The American Report’s most significant HAMMER and SCORECARD articles to Twitter executives is earth shattering. The FBI’s censorship of The American Report has profound constitutional and legal ramifications..
The FBI’s censorship-fueled narrative about the illegal domestic surveillance and election cyberattacks has been consistently echoed and reinforced by legacy media organizations such as CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Reuters, which generally try to discredit The American Report’s disclosures about HAMMER and SCORECARD as conspiracy theories and Orwelian-sounding election denialism.
The Democrat’s narrative that the January 6th “insurrection” was caused by President Trump and purveyors of the so-called “Big Lie” that Joe Biden did not win the January 2020 election is quickly unraveling.
Ray Epps And The Unravelling Of The FBI’s January 6th ‘Insurrection’ Narrative
Ray Epps
On January 6, 2020 at 2:12 pm, according to a transcript included in the report issued by the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, Ray Epps sent his nephew a text message that read “I was in the front with a few others. I also orchestrated it.”
Ray Epps is the fellow who was caught on video multiple times telling pro-Trump protesters that they were going to have to storm the Capitol. Yet despite this clear evidence that he was a singular ringleader and instigator of what Democrats insist was an “insurrection” that threatened the very survival of our free republic, Epps has never been charged with insurrection or anything else, or even been arrested. Meanwhile, people who never told anyone to storm the Capitol have languished in prison without trial for nearly two years now, in shocking conditions. All this has given rise to the widespread and lingering suspicion that Ray Epps is a fed, a suspicion that Epps himself has just reinforced by telling his nephew that he “orchestrated” the events of that fateful day. Of course he did.
