One Thing, Jesus Christ Fr. Ben Daghir Will Post Weekly Articles HERE Every Monday! Article 1 - Second Series - December 19th, 2022 by Fr. Ben Daghir Ed Sheeran’s song “Perfect” became an instant success upon its release in 2017. The song has well over 3 billion views on YouTube. I wonder why? Maybe because the song articulates authentic love and we are naturally oriented toward love in the most natural and adventurous way. In my opinion, the song is quite Catholic at heart. It describes a young man’s joy in finding the love of his life but he soon realizes that she also found him. The song also describes his desire to remain in love with her and his dream of having a family with her. The first line states “I found a love” which indicates that he isn’t in charge of this love story. He neither invented nor created it. He found something which indicates a greater, mysterious hand is at play. Then he sings “Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead.” There is a reason why we have the phrase “falling in love.” Like diving right in, it implies that we must loosen our firm grip of trying to control everything. Love demands a risk, a diving into the deep, and a letting go of control. A few lines later, Sheeran sings “Baby, I’m dancing in the dark with you between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song.” The imagery, which literally could be taken as two people outside dancing on the lawn to a song, could metaphorically mean something much deeper. Love demands an adventure. It demands a willingness to enter into the unknown. It demands that two people become vulnerable. Finally, it demands that both of them listen to a higher voice than their own. Could it be that “dancing in the dark” implies the two lovers being willing to enter together into the unknown of the future? Could it be that “with you between my arms” implies not only a physical embrace but also an embrace of dreams, hopes, fears, anxieties, aspirations, goals, and worldviews? Could it be that “barefoot on the grass” implies a state of vulnerability like that of Moses on holy ground? (Exodus 3:5). Could it be that “listening to our favorite song” implies both of them listening to a higher voice as opposed to just their own voices? Sheeran also adds “She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home.” Beautiful! The trajectory of authentic love is on display. Their love is built upon friendship. They know one another well. The two lovers share one another's passions, hopes, and dreams long before one another’s home. The foundation of love is always built upon a sturdy friendship. The song is also fundamentally pro-life. Sheeran sings, “I found a lover, to carry more than just my secrets, to carry love, to carry children of our own.” The singer doesn’t see the woman as a mere object of pleasure but rather as a woman, a friend, a spouse, and a mother. Unfortunately, pro-life has been reduced to mere political language but it’s so much more than that. Pro-life is a fruit of authentic love. In other words, authentic love is naturally oriented toward life, toward the building up of family, of society, of culture, and of the human race. Sheeran also sings, “When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful…I don’t deserve this.” Only now does the singer describe her physical attributes. He has mentioned that she is a stronger woman than anyone he has ever known. He has stated that she shares his dreams, that he desires to share a home with her, a future, and a family. It is obvious that when the singer says “looking so beautiful” he is referring to much more than her physique. In fact, he is referring to her whole being. Then, he humbly admits “I don’t deserve this.” How true it is that the overwhelming reality of one’s vocation leads to “I don’t deserve this.” God’s gifts for us, especially our respective vocations, is overwhelming. As a Catholic priest, I have officiated at several weddings. It is always a great privilege and honor to be with the groom just minutes before his wedding. Many of these soon-to-be husbands are overwhelmed with the sheer gravity of how blessed, how lucky they are. “I don’t deserve this” is exactly how they feel. Interestingly, young men preparing for the priesthood often experience the gravity of “I don’t deserve this,” the overwhelming reality of God’s love for them. The words “Baby, I’m dancing in the dark with you between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song” is a poetic way of describing authentic love. It is adventurous. It demands vulnerability, friendship, and listening to a higher voice. It is also directed toward life in the fullest sense possible. ======================== Fr.

1.THREAD: Twitter Files Supplemental 2.In July of 2020, San Francisco FBI agent Elvis Chan tells Twitter executive Yoel Roth to expect written questions from the Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), the inter-agency group that deals with cyber threats. 3.The questionnaire authors seem displeased with Twitter for implying, in a July 20th “DHS/ODNI/FBI/Industry briefing,” that “you indicated you had not observed much recent activity from official propaganda actors on your platform.” 4.One would think that would be good news. The agencies seemed to feel otherwise. 5.Chan underscored this: “There was quite a bit of discussion within the USIC to get clarifications from your company,” he wrote, referring to the United States Intelligence Community. 6.The task force demanded to know how Twitter came to its unpopular conclusion. Oddly, it included a bibliography of public sources - including a Wall Street Journal article - attesting to the prevalence of foreign threats, as if to show Twitter they got it wrong. 7.Roth, receiving the questions, circulated them with other company executives, and complained that he was “frankly perplexed by the requests here, which seem more like something we'd get from a congressional committee than the Bureau.” 8.He added he was not “comfortable with the Bureau (and by extension the IC) demanding written answers.” The idea of the FBI acting as conduit for the Intelligence Community is interesting, given that many agencies are barred from domestic operations. 9.He then sent another note internally, saying the premise of the questions was “flawed,” because “we've been clear that official state propaganda is definitely a thing on Twitter.” Note the italics for emphasis. 10.Roth suggested they “get on the phone with Elvis ASAP and try to straighten this out,” to disabuse the agencies of any notion that state propaganda is not a “thing” on Twitter. 11.This exchange is odd among other things because some of the “bibliography” materials cited by the FITF are sourced to intelligence officials, who in turn cited the public sources. 12.The FBI responded to Friday’s report by saying it “regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign influence actors’ subversive, undeclared, covert, or criminal activities.” 13.That may be true, but we haven’t seen that in the documents to date. Instead, we’ve mostly seen requests for moderation involving low-follower accounts belonging to ordinary Americans – and Billy Baldwin. 14.Watch @bariweiss and @ShellenbergerMD for more from the Twitter Files.

I hope they ALL GO DOWN!!

A BIG Thank You to "The Grinch" who took the time out of his busy schedule to visit our grandson Atti on Friday evening.

1. THREAD: The Twitter Files, Part Six TWITTER, THE FBI SUBSIDIARY 4:00 PM · Dec 16, 2022 1. THREAD: The Twitter Files, Part Six TWITTER, THE FBI SUBSIDIARY 2. The #TwitterFiles are revealing more every day about how the government collects, analyzes, and flags your social media content. 3. Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary. 4. Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth. 5. Some are mundane, like San Francisco agent Elvis Chan wishing Roth a Happy New Year along with a reminder to attend “our quarterly call next week.” Others are requests for information into Twitter users related to active investigations. 6. But a surprisingly high number are requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts. 7. The FBI’s social media-focused task force, known as FTIF, created in the wake of the 2016 election, swelled to 80 agents and corresponded with Twitter to identify alleged foreign influence and election tampering of all kinds. 8. Federal intelligence and law enforcement reach into Twitter included the Department of Homeland Security, which partnered with security contractors and think tanks to pressure Twitter to moderate content. 9. It’s no secret the government analyzes bulk data for all sorts of purposes, everything from tracking terror suspects to making economic forecasts. 10. The #TwitterFiles show something new: agencies like the FBI and DHS regularly sending social media content to Twitter through multiple entry points, pre-flagged for moderation. 11. What stands out is the sheer quantity of reports from the government. Some are aggregated from public hotlines: 12.An unanswered question: do agencies like FBI and DHS do in-house flagging work themselves, or farm it out? “You have to prove to me that inside the fucking government you can do any kind of massive data or AI search,” says one former intelligence officer. “HELLO TWITTER CONTACTS”: The master-canine quality of the FBI’s relationship to Twitter comes through in this November 2022 email, in which “FBI San Francisco is notifying you” it wants action on four accounts: 14.Twitter personnel in that case went on to look for reasons to suspend all four accounts, including @fromMA, whose tweets are almost all jokes (see sample below), including his “civic misinformation” of Nov. 8: 15. Just to show the FBI can be hyper-intrusive in both directions, they also asked Twitter to review a blue-leaning account for a different joke, except here it was even more obvious that @ClaireFosterPHD, who kids a lot, was kidding: 16. “Anyone who cannot discern obvious satire from reality has no place making decisions for others or working for the feds,” said @ClaireFosterPHD, when told about the flagging. 17.Of the six accounts mentioned in the previous two emails, all but two – @ClaireFosterPHD and @fromMA – were suspended. 18.In an internal email from November 5, 2022, the FBI’s National Election Command Post, which compiles and sends on complaints, sent the SF field office a long list of accounts that “may warrant additional action”: 19.Agent Chan passed the list on to his "Twitter folks": 20. Twitter then replied with its list of actions taken. Note mercy shown to actor Billy Baldwin:21.Many of the above accounts were satirical in nature, nearly all (with the exceptions of Baldwin and @RSBNetwork) were relatively low engagement, and some were suspended, most with a generic, “Thanks, Twitter” letter: 22.When told of the FBI flagging, @lexitollah replied: “My thoughts initially include 1. Seems like prima facie 1A violation 2. Holy cow, me, an account with the reach of an amoeba 3. What else are they looking at?” 23.“I can't believe the FBI is policing jokes on Twitter. That's crazy,” said @Tiberius444. 24.In a letter to former Deputy General Counsel (and former top FBI lawyer) Jim Baker on Sep. 16, 2022, legal exec Stacia Cardille outlines results from her “soon to be weekly” meeting with DHS, DOJ, FBI, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence: 25.The Twitter exec writes she explicitly asked if there were “impediments” to the sharing of classified information “with industry.” The answer? “FBI was adamant no impediments to sharing exist.” 26. This passage underscores the unique one-big-happy-family vibe between Twitter and the FBI. With what other firm would the FBI blithely agree to “no impediments” to classified information? 27.At the bottom of that letter, she lists a series of “escalations” apparently raised at the meeting, which were already “handled.” 27.at | Buy Domain NamesPremium Two-letter Brand-able Austrian Domain Name For Sale | 27.athttp://27.At 28. About one, she writes: “Flagged a specific Tweet on Illinois use of modems to transmit election results in possible violation of the civic integrity policy (except they do use that tech in limited circumstances).” 29.Another internal letter from January, 2021 shows Twitter execs processing an FBI list of “possible violative content” tweets: 30.Here, too, most tweets contained the same, “Get out there and vote Wednesday!” trope and had low engagement. This is what the FBI spends its time on: 31. In this March, 2021 email, an FBI liaison thanks a senior Twitter exec for the chance to speak to “you and the team,” then delivers a packet of “products”: 32.The executive circulates the “products,” which are really DHS bulletins stressing the need for greater collaboration between law enforcement and “private sector partners.” 33.The ubiquity of the 2016 Russian interference story as stated pretext for building out the censorship machine can’t be overstated. It’s analogous to how 9/11 inspired the expansion of the security state. 34.While the DHS in its “products” pans “permissive” social media for offering “operational advantages” to Russians, it also explains that the “Domestic Violent Extremist Threat” requires addressing “information gaps”: 35.FBI in one case sent over so many “possible violative content” reports, Twitter personnel congratulated each other in Slack for the “monumental undertaking” of reviewing them: 36.There were multiple points of entry into Twitter for government-flagged reports. This letter from Agent Chan to Roth references Teleporter, a platform through which Twitter could receive reports from the FBI: 37.Reports also came from different agencies. Here, an employee recommends “bouncing” content based on evidence from “DHS etc”: 38.State governments also flagged content. 39.Twitter for instance received reports via the Partner Support Portal, an outlet created by the Center for Internet Security, a partner organization to the DHS. 40.“WHY WAS NO ACTION TAKEN?” Below, Twitter execs – receiving an alert from California officials, by way of “our partner support portal” – debate whether to act on a Trump tweet: 41.Here, a video was reported by the Election Integrity Project (EIP) at Stanford, apparently on the strength of information from the Center for Internet Security (CIS): 42.If that’s confusing, it’s because the CIS is a DHS contractor, describes itself as “partners” with the Cyber and Internet Security Agency (CISA) at the DHS: 43.The EIP is one of a series of government-affiliated think tanks that mass-review content, a list that also includes the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Research Laboratory, and the University of Washington’s Center for Informed Policy. 44.The takeaway: what most people think of as the “deep state” is really a tangled collaboration of state agencies, private contractors, and (sometimes state-funded) NGOs. The lines become so blurred as to be meaningless. 45. Twitter Files researchers are moving into a variety of new areas now. Watch @bariweiss, @ShellenbergerMD, and this space for more, soon.
