Where are the Left’s cries about foreign interference?
A British group calling itself “The Real Facebook Oversight Board,” which among its team of Soros-backed activists includes “pee dossier” author Christopher Steele, has vowed to influence “Facebook’s role in the US election” and claims its first campaign is to get former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon banned from the social media platform.
The group focuses on American elections and politics, despite being based out of the United Kingdom. Its ranks include several high-profile, far-left activists who have promoted disinformation in the past, particularly with regard to Brexit.
For example, Guardian newspaper activist Carole Cadwalladr, who is listed on the “Real Facebook Oversight Board, ”was recently forced to apologize after claiming Brexit financier Arron Banks had broken the law.

Cadwalladr’s history of spreading false information may be hurting the organization’s fundraising efforts; a new GoFundMe they rolled out has raised just £260 ($340) of a £100,000 ($135,000) goal.
Moreover, Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer who penned the fake dossier alleging links between the Trump Campaign and Russia (in which it was claimed that, prior to his presidency, Donald Trump hired Russian prostitutes to urinate on a bed that had been slept on by Barack Obama), is affiliated with the Real Facebook Oversight Board’s parent organization, known as “The Citizens.”
Another member of the group is Shahmir Sanni, a left-wing plant in Boris Johnson’s neoliberal ‘Vote Leave’ group, who later went on to condemn Brexit despite having worked on the campaign. Matt Rivitz, a far-left activist who founded the Sleeping Giants boycott group before falling out with his partner, is also part of “The Citizens.”
Again, although the group is based in the UK, one of its stated aims is to “Make sure the Biden/Harris White House doesn’t become another lapdog for big tech.”
The National Pulse describes The Real Facebook Oversight Board’s ties to NeverTrumpers and to globalist, left-wing billionaire George Soros:
The group appears to be funded by a start-up grant from the organization Luminate, which in turn praises the rise of “progressive attitudes” and is founded by Pierre Omidyar. Omidyar has donated sizably to Never Trump groups and is heavily involved with Lincoln Project grandees and neoconservative activists such as Bill Kristol.
Omidyar also gives to the Democratic Congressional and Senatorial Campaign Committees.
Luminate itself works with George Soros’s Open Society Foundation, recently pledging nearly $300,000 to the group and partnering alongside it on a host of philanthropic ventures.
The group views Facebook’s actual oversight board, 5 percent of whom can be identified as anti-Trump and over 75 percent non-U.S. citizens, as having failed to adequately censor election content. A document obtained by Axios shows that they consider Facebook employees to be “little more than a corporate whitewashing exercise.”
“We will use stunts, viral video, celebrity endorsement and skillful media management to throw a spotlight on the real-time threats to democracy from the misuse of social media platforms and big tech,” the group’s document reads. “We know how to make a noise. Democracy needs its own PR team and creative agency. We are it.”
It’s curious that they feel a need to have to pressure the major social media platforms when these companies are already so heavily on their side.
It was just announced this week, for example, that Google subsidiary YouTube will delete videos that question the 2020 election’s legitimacy.
“Yesterday was the safe harbor deadline for the U.S. Presidential election and enough states have certified their election results to determine a President-elect,” YouTube wrote in a blog post. “Given that, we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, in line with our approach towards historical U.S. Presidential elections. For example, we will remove videos claiming that a Presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors.”
Those who want to find the truth in video format will have to seek it out on BitChute and Rumble.
The global elites know that once truth is silenced, freedom perishes.
