As #TikTok's CEO is being grilled by the US House Committee on Energy and Commerce, it's time to cut through the noise on what the issues are with TikTok and why the USG, through #CFIUS, seems trending toward a force divestiture.
First, I cannot disclose anything about this transaction that I learned while working on CFIUS matters in the USG. Everything on this thread is based on information that is publicly available through news reporting.
The issues with Tiktok is two-fold – data security and the ability to manipulate the algorithm for propaganda. I wrote an explainer about this in the Washington Post back in 2020: washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
I'm teaching my regular "Preparing and Delivering a Briefing" professional skills course tonight at @SAISHopkins.

@SAISHopkins I've accumulated quite a battery of (anonymized) stories featuring equipment failures, PowerPoint chart disasters, flubbed facts, and tough audiences -- both from my observations and from friends.
@SAISHopkins They're helpful to illustrate pitfalls but also to remind us that delivering information in a concise, analytical fashion -- whether for interagency policy deliberations, a commander's conference, a pitch meeting, or an earnings call -- is a lifelong skill.
"will Pence try to delay his appearance? I'm not so sure he will... he may have asked for this subpoena, which gives him legal cover. if he does try to delay, he will not succeed" @glennkirschner2 on @StephMillerShow
"let's look at the silver lining: Jack Smith has gone scorched earth... he sent subpoenas that Merrick Garland should have issued months ago" @glennkirschner2 on @StephMillerShow
on the "Bull Durham" Show: "nothing's more corrosive to law enforcement than investigators being wrongly investigated. I would have tried to convince them to change course or quit—as some of my friends on Roger Stone trial team did" @glennkirschner2
Siloed development of AI by nation-states as National Security threat mitigation as well as the weaponizing of AI to infiltrate, and affect policy & population sentiment in adversary nations is a significant malignant threat to peace & exponentially increases the risk of conflict
AI algos harness volumes of macro & micro-data to influence decisions affecting people in a range of scenarios, from benign movie recommendations to less benign black-box creditworthiness tests, to malignant use by Alphabet Agencies for regime change

As 2022 comes to a close, here’s a brief #cdnpoli year in review. In January/22 we saw the launch of a destabilization op (that just *happened* to coincide with the lead up to Putin’s attack on #Ukraine). #FreeDumbConvoy #FluTruxKlan
#FluTruxKlan #FreeDumbConvoy was pushed hard by multiple malign players & boosted by inauthentic activity, including by foreign threat actors. #Cdnpoli #CdnpoliYearInReview #goodbye2022
Feb/22 #NevrePoilievre officially launched his “prime minister” bid using #FluTruxKlan op, even though we’d just had an election months earlier & O’Toole was still #CPCldr.

I have more questions raised than answered but for the time a quick summary:
- Reservists (volunteer + conscript) are the new TDF (sort of)
- Conscripted soldiers to work w/ civil defense systems on criss response, disaster relief, security control, combat engineering...

Day 22 of testimony at the Emergencies inquiry starts today. Here’s where we are at after 21 days/ analysis by me and @aballinga
If you need a primer on how Canadian parliamentary democracy works (not the Canada Unity version), listen to the live webcast of the inquiry.
Otherwise, I'll wait until there's testimony in about 45 minutes from now.

When I saw scores of domestic & foreign adversary (including Kremlin linked) troll network accounts pushing #DutchFarmer op, I wondered, like the way #FluTruxKlan used 🇨🇦 as an op launching pad, if Netherlands were being used as a similar launching pad. Now enter this…#CdnNatSec
🧵 from February on this subject. #FluTruxKlan is & has always been an op. It was a destabilization operation that just *happened* to coincide with the lead up to #UkraineInvasion. Not a coincidence. There is a global autocracy project to topple democracy. #cdnNatSec #cdnpoli

Hunter Biden's PE firm Rosemont Seneca led the $30M Series A round for #metabiota, a firm that also raised $ in '17 from In-Q-Tel aka the #CIA's VC arm.
Metabiota has ties to the '16 #Ebola crisis, #EcoHealth (cv19) & they're a subcontractor for Black & Veatch (#biolabs ops)

What Does Vladimir Putin Have on Joe Biden? Joe and Hunter Biden’s seedy involvements in Ukraine may have given the Russian leader all the ‘kompromat’ he needs to keep America at bay! 🔍 Tablet Magazine #Cybersecurity #Forensics #NatSec tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
Vladimir Putin didn’t need the green light that Joe Biden gave Russian forces during his marathon press conference last Thursday for a “minor incursion” into Ukraine. The Russian president already knew the U.S. commander in chief couldn’t stop him even if he wanted to.
You don’t need a secret dossier authored by a British ex-spy for hire like Christopher Steele to understand the possible weird real-world mirror version of Russiagate. This time, it’s basically all out in the open—or at least it was …
Incoming monster thread: y'day my @Carleton colleague @leahwest_nsl argued the Govt “must believe the protests rise to the level of a national emergency” to invoke the #EmergenciesAct for the 1st time since its creation by a @CPC_HQ Govt in 1988 1/X
While #natsec law is outside my wheelhouse of expertise, my work regularly bumps up against such issues & has forever focused on Qs about coms, society & democracy. As such, I want to weigh in with a few thoughts of my own & hope that I have something worthwhile to say. 2/x
TLDR: While I disagree w/ her provisional conclusion, I do agree that we must be very vigilant that this precedent setting use of the #EmergenciesAct remains ltd in time, targeted in terms of geography, subject to Parliamentary review & snuggled tightly within the 3/
