🔥🔥Breaking! Obama linked Google is involved in censorship in Brazil! Also, Brazils Alexandre de Moraes TSE is involved! And so is the US embassy. The US DHS is linked also. This is part one, Brazil, Comprova, Meedan and the Alexandre de Moraes Superior Electoral Court. X is under fire in Brazil partly by a censorship apparatus started by First Draft News, and seed funded by Google. With DHS and spook city connections also. Meet the First Draft News, Crosscheck program which is called Comprova in Brazil. Which still lives on past First Drafts demise and rebirth at Brown University. Since 2016 First Draft has promoted collaborative reporting and cross-checking experiences around elections in the United States, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Nigeria, Spain, Uruguay, Argentina, Australia and the European Union. Brazils began in 2018. Also recall First Drafts heavy connections to Integrity Initiative orgs such as the Atlantic Council, and included the founder of the 77th psyop brigade in its first days. Now let’s move forward to Comprova Brazil which has been and still is partnered with Alexandre de Moraes Superior Electoral Court (TSE). I was waiting to see what happened for 2024 and sure enough they are involved again and launched this month. US embassy and Comprova: US Embassy in Brazil financed the + Communities project, allowing eight journalistic collectives to participate in Comprova. US Embassy in Brazil financed the +Redações project, which allowed six media organizations (one from each region and the other from the Federal District) to have a journalist dedicated to Comprova. See the institutions that participated in the creation of the TSE 2024 campaign to confront lies: - TSE - Superior Electoral Court - Comprova Project - Lupa Agency - Abraji - Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism - Abert - Brazilian - Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters - Ajor - Digital Journalism Association - Alright - Aner - National Association of Magazine Editors - ANJ - National Association of Newspapers - To The Facts - Coar - Open Word Institute - Projor - Institute for the Development of Journalism Another from this list is LUPA. “U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Brazil launch, together with Agência Lupa, ran a free fact-checking training for journalists and students.” Also, on June 13, 2022, Lupa and the Google partner, Hacks/Hackers, convened Brazil's first-ever MisinfoCon. Recall MisinfoCon was started at Google and Knight foundations Newsgeist with Hacks/Hackers involvement. This led to the creation of the DHS Disarm framework aka CTI League Files. The above event brought together journalists, representatives of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), and other professionals. Meedan, an original founding partner at First Draft News, is also partnered with Lupa. ———————————— Meedan Meedan has been partnered with the Brazil Superior Electoral Court for multiple things. Also involved in Comprova was Meedan. “Estadão Verifica’s (Brazil disinfo org) strategy to address misinformation in Brazil works with Meedan CHECK.” The newspaper, O Estado de S. Paulo, that runs the Estadão Verifica disinfo org, helped in the creation of Comprova. This was initiated by their editor and First Draft News member Daniel Bramatti. He was also Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji). Comprova now claims that Abraji is now running it. Although it was started by First Draft News. Meedan check is pro Palestine, and partnered with Palestinian fact-checking platform Kashif to respond to claims through a Whatsapp channel. Ed bice, founder of Meedan, belongs to the credibility coalition. Which created the disarm framework used by our DHS CISA. Meedan also gets USA NSF Track F funding. Meedan has other disinfo ties in Brazil. Meedan will be involved in fact checking for both the US and Brazil 2024 elections. We will get into Meedan further in part 2. All sources to follow.
