“UK Files” Exclusive, Part 2: The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) Told the IRS It Was A Charity. Documents Say Otherwise The influential UK-based “anti-disinformation” group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, told American tax authorities it was a registered charity. Were they telling the truth? PAUL HOLDEN JAN 31 ∙ OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW: With a little help from friends, Sir Keir Starmer (R) has replaced Jeremy Corbyn (L) as leader of Britain’s Labour Party. Explosive documents from the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) show that one of the world’s most powerful “anti-disinformation” groups, the Center for Countering Digital Hate Inc.

In Britain, the leading figures in the CCDH are perhaps best known for a relentless campaign to tie former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to accusations of antisemitism, while worldwide the group gained renown during the pandemic for efforts to remove the so-called “Disinformation Dozen” from Internet platforms, a group that included Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. In reality, the CCDH was and is a pioneering effort in a new form of “non-governmental” pressure group that hides its ties to major-party politics as it pushes for the removal of “hate” speech, often the critics of mainstream politicians. CCDH Inc.’s IRS misstatements form part of a larger narrative of obscurantism and regulatory mix-ups on the part of a group whose origins are intertwined with Britain’s Labour Party...

We Should Have Paid More Attention MATT TAIBBI · JAN 26 The Anti-Democratic Movement Targeted Ralph Nader First. We Should Have Paid More Attention In the summer of 2004 Theresa Amato, campaign manager of presidential candidate Ralph Nader, took out a notebook in preparation for an important phone conference. Her candidate, Nader, had already been subject to an extraordinary — and extraordinarily underreported — campaign of litigious harassment at the hands of the Democratic Party. John Kerry told Nader he had 2,000 lawyers at his disposal and would do “everything within the law” to win. In Arizona, Nader opponents filed a 650-page challenge to his attempt to get on the ballot, forgetting social justice concerns long enough to complain that Read full story Listen to subscriber only audio in your podcast app: https://support.substack.com/hc/en-us/articles/4519588148244-How-do-I-listen-to-episodes-on-my-podcast-app- Share the free versions of Racket To Go on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts Racket To Go Matt Taibbi 123 episodes Racket To Go Matt Taibbi Podcast Racket News © 2024 Matt Taibbi 548 Market Street PMB 72296, San Francisco, CA 94104 Unsubscribe
