The following is from Children’s Health Defense.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), known for its “Disinformation Dozen” list, reportedly set out to dismantle Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) and conduct “black ops” against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Leaked internal documents shared by Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi show CCDH’s coordinated plan to pressure advertisers and target critics of vaccine mandates. Thacker stated he received “minutes from internal CCDH staff meetings” held from January to October.

 Documents outline plans to push a US censorship law, modeled after Europe’s “Digital Services Act.” According to reports, CCDH founder  Morgan McSweeney—a political operative with ties to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US Vice President Kamala Harris—spearheaded the effort. Harris reportedly supported CCDH’s agenda to establish stricter US regulations on “harmful content” through a proposal called the “STAR framework,” which would create an “independent digital regulator” to enforce penalties for content deemed harmful.

The documents further reveal CCDH planned to “kill Musk’s Twitter” by applying financial pressure through advertisers. They reportedly strategized to weaken X by urging companies to pull ad dollars and allegedly aimed to erode Musk’s influence and reduce X’s reach by fostering narratives that X enabled “hate” content.

CCDH also reportedly planned “black ops” targeting RFK Jr., citing his anti-vaccine stance and potential influence in the election. Kennedy, listed as one of the “Disinformation Dozen,” was viewed as a significant threat due to his reach and anti-establishment messaging. Internal minutes from CCDH meetings mention efforts to curb his influence through “direct attacks” intended to discredit and marginalize him.

“Kudos to Thacker and Taibbi for this important investigative report. To see ‘kill Musk’s Twitter’ as one of the primary objectives of CCDH, an intricately politically connected organization, is an outrage. We know for certain that ‘killing information’ was one of the critical ways people were indeed killed in the COVID era.

CCDH’s effort is one of many to ‘kill free speech’ in the name of ‘eliminating misinformation.’ Without a doubt, the First Amendment’s freedom of speech and freedom of the press are on the ballot this November.

Let’s remember German Jewish poet Heinrich Heine’s famous admonition of the 1820’s: ‘Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.’”

Thacker’s tweet sharing the leak has amassed over 35 million views. The documents have raised questions about CCDH’s nonprofit status, with some speculating whether its political actions could violate tax-exemption laws.
