Timcast IRL #648 DHS Leaks EXPOSE Government Conspiracy To Subvert Election, Censor w/Jake Bequette
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 648 from November 1, 2022, featured an in-depth discussion about leaked DHS documents revealing alleged government collusion with Big Tech companies to censor information and potentially manipulate elections. Tim Pool opened the show with coverage of an Intercept story based on documents released through a Missouri Attorney General lawsuit, which provided what Tim called 'hard proof' of executives at major tech companies working with DHS and the FBI to manufacture consent and influence public opinion. The discussion included analysis of text messages showing DHS officials coordinating with Microsoft executives, as well as reports that Twitter's former trust and safety head was meeting with government officials monthly. Tim connected this to Elon Musk's Twitter acquisition and suggested the timing of the leak may have been intentional. The episode also touched on the Paul Pelosi incident, with Tim discussing various theories about what occurred. Guest Jake Beckett, a former NFL player with the Patriots and Army veteran, joined the discussion along with co-hosts Luke, Ian Crossland, and Serge.
