I created a custom GPT with all 17,000 pages of the Weaponization of Government document that was just released.

You can use it yourself here: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-676718a7dd988191aff4125d419d1abd-weaponization-of-government-report-analyst

I asked it an interesting question. What do you think about the answer?

Based on the thorough review of the documents, here is a detailed summary of some of the most obscure yet concerning findings related to potential misuse of power, hidden actions, and their implications, organized with context, affected parties, and alleged wrongdoers:


1. CISA’s Role in Covert Censorship

  • Context: The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) engaged in extensive operations to censor domestic speech under the guise of countering misinformation. They collaborated with third-party entities to sidestep constitutional limitations.
  • Details:
    • Established partnerships with NGOs and academic institutions to monitor social media for election-related speech deemed "misinformation."
    • Funded the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), enabling indirect censorship by flagging thousands of social media posts for Big Tech, including verified jokes, political commentary, and true statements.
    • Created a nonprofit "front" to continue such operations after lawsuits challenged their constitutionality.
    • Proposed deploying "anti-misinformation rapid response teams" across the country.
  • Affected Parties: American citizens who shared political opinions or jokes online.
  • Alleged Wrongdoers: CISA leadership and associated partners.

2. The “Prebunking” of the Hunter Biden Laptop Story

  • Context: Before the 2020 Presidential election, the FBI reportedly worked with social media companies to preemptively discredit stories about the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation, despite already authenticating the laptop.
  • Details:
    • Conducted over 30 meetings with Big Tech to warn about potential "hack-and-leak" operations related to Hunter Biden, priming platforms to suppress legitimate news.
    • Suppressed a New York Post story that revealed alleged influence-peddling by Hunter Biden involving access to then-Vice President Joe Biden.
    • Social media platforms complied, preventing millions of Americans from accessing this information before voting.
  • Affected Parties: Voters unaware of potential conflicts of interest regarding a leading presidential candidate.
  • Alleged Wrongdoers: FBI agents involved in the campaign, Big Tech executives.

3. AI-Powered Censorship Funded by NSF

  • Context: The National Science Foundation (NSF) funded AI technologies to censor online speech under the guise of combating misinformation.
  • Details:
    • Granted millions of taxpayer dollars to develop tools capable of censoring dissenting opinions on a large scale.
    • Focused on shaping public opinion during COVID-19 and the 2020 election by suppressing disfavored narratives.
    • Attempts were made to hide these activities from public scrutiny, including strategic decisions to obscure the government’s involvement.
  • Affected Parties: Individuals expressing dissenting views on COVID-19 or political issues.
  • Alleged Wrongdoers: NSF leadership, collaborating academics.

4. Misuse of Security Clearance Adjudications by the FBI

  • Context: Whistleblowers exposed the FBI’s retaliatory use of security clearance processes to silence internal dissent.
  • Details:
    • FBI whistleblowers were suspended without pay, denied alternative employment opportunities, and purged for exposing waste or misconduct.
    • Evidence suggests targeted employees were identified based on perceived political leanings.
    • Security clearance suspensions were used as a tool of retaliation rather than for legitimate security concerns.
  • Affected Parties: FBI whistleblowers and conservative employees.
  • Alleged Wrongdoers: FBI leadership.

5. Involvement in Election-Related Propaganda

  • Context: Efforts to control narratives about election integrity by collaborating with tech companies and media influencers.
  • Details:
    • Coordinated meetings between the FBI and Big Tech on handling election-related content.
    • Internal discussions highlighted how the FBI sought to shape the digital narrative on controversial topics, including election fraud.
    • Strategies included influencing policies on "hack-and-leak" materials and disseminating official narratives through trusted channels.
  • Affected Parties: Voters exposed to curated narratives, undermining informed decision-making.
  • Alleged Wrongdoers: FBI personnel managing digital influence campaigns.

These findings, while based on evidence within the reports, often involve deliberate obfuscation of direct responsibility. Many of these actions reflect attempts to balance political outcomes, often at the expense of constitutional liberties or electoral integrity.

Walking through New Orleans

I’ve got a few hours to walk around before my flight. Walked from the hotel to the French Quarter, found bourbon Street, and made my way back to the French Quarter

I spoke with the lady serving coffee. She says New Orleans, and bourbon Street area in particular, is just getting worse and worse. She said she wants to move. Can’t stand the tourists.

And when you appreciate the type of tourist that comes to Bourbon Street, and the reasons for which they come, you can pretty much understand the sentiments.

She said an Uber driver was killed just off Bourbon Street the other week.

The coffee was very good at least

Bourbon Street feels like Vegas, only dirtier. And I didn’t think that was possible. Lol.

The architecture is beautiful. Aesthetically, it’s somewhat picturesque. It kind of feels like 1600s France. Except instead of cafés lining the streets, it’s bars and strip clubs. not my cup of tea.

They are literally cleaning the sidewalks. Apparently they do it at least every Thursday. Cleaning up ...

A picture is worth 1000 words

A video is worth 1000 pictures.

And a time lapse is worth 1000 videos?

Here’s the flight from Florida to New Orleans.

The Barnes Brief: Halloween, 2025

I.   INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

  • As harvest ends, we commence the remembrance of death itself, recognizing its role in the cycle of life, as All Hallows Eve awaits the All Souls Day to follow. Our Celtic ancestors, and many contemporary Mexican celebrants with their Day of the Dead, see the sun set into winter’s moon, and the souls of those alive and past dance in the foggy merriment, with the light & the darkness competing for the souls of us all.

B. Wisdom of the Day

  • “I have to study politics and war so that my sons can study mathematics, commerce, and agriculture, so their sons can study poetry, painting and music.” John Quincy Adams.

C. Cultural Recommendation

B. Wisdom of the Day
