J. Michael Lehman

I feel terrible grief that my once kind and gentle brother has become a miserable, depraved murderer, like our creep father. Ben orders kills for no reason, just to cause horror and puff himself up.

It's unbelievable to me that the world allows this to happen. They must be stopped somehow.

btw, actual spies are nothing like the mythology we see in books, movies, and tv

Most "intelligence" officers are soft, Ivy-League twerps who've had everything handed to them on a silver platter and who celebrate a workplace culture of sexual abuse and recreational criminality.

Like Ben A. Lehman.

We talked a long while, but he only really seemed interested in my allegations that my brother was behind "Signalgate."

My allegations that my dad and brother are involved in terrorism, and that they sexually abuse, stalk and harass family members, did not seem to surprise or concern him.

When I spoke with the NSA OIG, the guy (scroll down this feed to hear a sample of his voice) said, "NSA does not conduct domestic operations."

I was like, yeah, right.

He rephrased, "NSA is not *legally authorized* to conduct domestic operations."

I said, "That’s a more accurate statement."

Thanks, I'm doing the best I can.

Anything people can do to tell others about my story is greatly appreciated.

I wrote my 'true history of Twitter' to send a message of love and acceptance to the world.

Instead I open up a can of worms of the brutal realities of money and power, and my voice was silenced.

That doesn't change the love I felt and feel for people in the world. Love is real, too.

. . . to tell people about it, which is all I know how to do.

I hope you, the person reading this, will also tell somebody. Knowledge is power.

. . . of terrorist acts and senseless murders, which has now continued for almost three years.

It's heartbreaking to me that we live in a world where he (and my brother) can get away with doing that. It's something I can't accept and must work to change.

I'm doing everything I can . . .

. . . yet to come.

Not long after the Twitter "takeover," I confronted my dad about stealing the company from Evan; sexually abusing me, and everyone else in our immediate family; and about some past acts of terrorism in which I suspected he had been involved.

He retaliated with a rampage . . .

There was a time when Twitter seemed like the Main Street of the whole world. I don't think it will ever be like that again. Even if it were resorted to its former functionality, people have moved on.

As someone who was there at the very beginning, this makes me sad.

But there was far worse . . .

. . . who used treachery and deception to take over the company that became Twitter from Evan Henshaw-Plath, who co-created the original concept with me.

It was while I was working on and sending out my 'True History' that Twitter was "bought" and effectively destroyed by the Musk "takeover" . . .

I started sending my 'True History of Twitter' to journalists in Sept 2022, and my dad and brother began a campaign of demonstrations of their corrupt influence and power, to attempt to intimidate me into silence.

That was when I learned, shockingly to me, that my dad was behind Jack Dorsey . . .

Refreshing perspective…makes this gramma think there is hope for our future. Keep it up!

will do my best, thanks for reading

Part of why it was so easy for him to lie to me back then is that I was uninterested in him.

All I ever wanted was to get away from him, to be influenced by anyone else.

I had no idea how rich, powerful and dangerous he is, but I could easily see his emptiness, his cruelty, and his misery . . .

Back in the day my dad, Peter A. Lehman of Arcata, California, used to fly to Washington, DC all the time, sometimes at the drop of a hat, sometimes twice in one week.

He told us it was all for the "National Hydrogen Association." His cover story was as an alternative energy researcher . . .

I was surprised and horrified to find out how much wealth and power my dad (and brother) actually have.

I wouldn't have believed it, but they were able to demonstrate to me their ability to corruptly influence politicians and public figures, and to direct cyberattacks and acts of terrorism . . .

When I wrote my 'True History of Twitter,' between Jan and Sept of 2022, I actually thought it would help me get away from my abusive dad.

I knew he was a liar, and a creep.

I didn't know he was the money and power behind Jack Dorsey's takeover of Twitter and lies about its origins . . .

This is excellent writing my friend.

oh, thank you! I worked hard on it

There was so much I didn't know then about the story of Twitter, and about my own family's involvement, and about the very bad things my dad and brother have done.

How I found out about all that is an interesting story in itself, which will take time and patience to write about well . . .

thank you very much!

Keep living and telling your story. You’re strong and brave and it seems that scares them. 💙

. . . of it, unless people like you, people reading this post, tell other people about it.

I really appreciate the people on this platform, and the internet, and irl, who've taken the time to read my stuff and pass it along.

Thank you for saving my voice from being completely silenced.

. . . when I wrote the Twitter piece, I hoped it would be picked up by the media, and I learned some ugly lessons about who actually gets to speak and who doesn't in this supposedly free society. I hope I will be able to write in detail about what I learned.

But no one is going to read any . . .

. . . excavating dinosaur fossils with a paintbrush.

But I'll do what I can, and then once it's written, I don't expect the mainstream will publish it. What I have to say is too much at odds with the power structure of our world for anyone with position or money to admit that it's true . . .

. . . powerful, abusive family wasn't spying on me and messing with me every day, trying to manipulate me into keeping quiet about them and my story, and punish me for speaking out.

Those are hardly ideal conditions for writing memoir, which can be a painstaking process like . . .

Ha, you know when I was a teenager, the cool Gen Xers who were twenty something said our cohort was too young to be Gen X. Now we're all old and it doesn't matter and we're lumped together.

I'm doing my best to write my story, I write every day. I'd be a much better writer if my . . .

thank you!
