Fired Trump speechwriter appointed to lead US Institute of Peace

A senior state department official who was fired as a speechwriter during President Donald Trump’s first term and has a history of incendiary statements has been appointed to lead the embattled U.S. Institute of Peace.

It is funded by Congress to promote peace and prevent and end conflicts across the globe. The battle is currently being played out in court.

The actions come as #Trump & his top aides seek to bend #academic institutions to their #ideological beliefs. The #State Dept’s public *diplomacy* office is run by #DarrenBeattie, a political appointee who was fired from a job during the first Trump admin after he gave a talk at a #WhiteNationalist conference. He has made social media posts on white grievances, including one saying “competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.”…

Everything Is the ‘#TwitterFiles’ Now

The #State Dept is using #ElonMusk’s playbook.

by Charlie Warzel

“Let’s be clear about what’s really happening here. A high-ranking member of the #Trump administration is turning federal-government #data—in this case, State Department communications—into a political weapon against perceived ideological enemies.”

Everything Is the 'Twitter Files' Now

The State Department is using Elon Musk’s playbook.

#State Dept staffers say they fear a selective disclosure of documents…could be distorted to fit any…narrative #DarrenBeattie, #Rubio, or others create.

Weaponizing any speech…by deeming it #disinformation is not only ironic, says Jankowicz—it will also have “chilling effects” on anyone who conducts disinformation #research, & it will result in “less #oversight & #transparency over #tech #platforms, …adversarial activities, [&]…people who are legitimately trying to disenfranchise US voters.”

This is what #DarrenBeattie — & #MikeBenz —have long called for. Many of the names & keywords he included in his request reflect #ConspiracyTheories & #grievances promoted by Revolver News—which Beattie founded after being fired from his job as a speechwriter during the first #Trump admin when CNN reported that he had spoken at a conference with #WhiteNationalists.
