US agency focused on foreign disinformation shuts down
A leading US government agency that tracks foreign disinformation has terminated its operations, the State Department said Tuesday, after Congress failed to extend its funding following years of Republican…
weeeeeeeeee its starting..... Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
The "1984" Ministry of Truth will have to wait a few more generations, until a new set of totalitarians gain a foothold. We have only stopped it FOR NOW.
I believe the light shining on the old mechanisms of tyranny and betrayal will be the beginning of a new age of Peace and Cooperation. I dont see this as simply another swing of the pendulum. Where the Truth once took months and years to get its boots on, it now sweeps the world in minutes and hours. This war is to pave the way for humanities ascendance. It will not so easily be overcome.
From your keyboard to God’s ears. Let us hope
Well said, anon.
LOL!!!
This made me laugh out loud for real 😧
Me too.
Amen.
"Foreign propaganda campaigns".
I'm assuming this doesn't include Reuters, A.P., CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, NYT, WAPO, The Atlantic, LA Times, etc, etc.....
course not
One down, ??? to go. It couldn't have happened to a better agency. THANK YOU LORD.
I think 3 down already.
Keep up with that list. Others will love to see the progress we've made. Thank you.
Sure.
Influence and Perception Management Office, Defense Military Deception Program Office, Foreign Malign Influence Center, Countering Foreign Influence Task Force, Foreign Influence Task Force, US Agency for Global Media.
Whew! That's definitely a lot.
Now that's a great Christmas present for The People!
Amen. I have something else but I am not 100% sure about it so I am not posting it. If true, it's the best Christmas gift we have been given.
Intriguing...
It's a testament to how far State has drifted from it's core mission that it needs a "Global Engagement Center". I mean, isn't global engagement the whole reason State exists? What the hell else were they doing that they needed a special department just for this?
It's called Censorship Department so they can hide their crimes.
$61M budget with a staff of around 120 people. Do the division and it equates to around $500,000 per employee. Think about that!
I just posted your first sentence....and another comment. Removing it.
Wow. Some cushy jobs.

TYVM!
That is a great link to additional information. So, some of the workers have apparently moved to other organizations, where they do the same thing. This hydra has many heads.
Federal Reserve closed and they won't have fund soon.
Huge win.
Yes.
Merry Christmas GEC. This is but the beginning...
Amen.
Now do their stupid art program which has stuck hideous pieces throughout the world, for money-laundering and mocking America.
I do not remember any of the pieces, it was HRC time frame.
Oh that's right. I remember hearing that.
....and nothing of value was lost....
Major value to the DS though
Washington's Farewell Address 1796
Neutrality in Foreign Affairs: He emphasized that the U.S. should avoid becoming involved in the political conflicts of Europe. Washington saw the European powers as constantly at war with one another and cautioned against getting caught up in these struggles. Avoiding Permanent Alliances: Washington advised that the U.S. should make temporary, situational alliances only when absolutely necessary for national defense, but not to enter into long-term or binding commitments. He feared that such alliances might pull the country into unnecessary wars. The Importance of Unity and Independence: He also linked foreign entanglements to internal division, suggesting that a united nation would be better able to protect its interests and remain neutral in international affairs. Washington's advice had a lasting influence on American foreign policy, especially in the early years of the Republic. The idea of avoiding permanent foreign entanglements became a cornerstone of American isolationism, though it was later modified as the U.S. became more involved in world affairs, particularly during the 20th century.
Thank you for the history lesson. The Chinese always said U.S acted like a world police and that's not necessary a good thing.
We don't need to police everyone else, just our own. Tackle some of our blue cities first.
Anything 'Global' is EVIL and must be extirpated.
Great word...extirpated. I was not familiar with it; thanks for using it!
We have a truly great language that we don't use the half of, and the derivation and etymology of many words has a lot to tell us about the wisdom of history 🤗🤗
I love our language. It's quirky, a hodgepodge of derivations, and .......homonyms, which I find especially fun. I salute you!!
Definitely.
And there was much rejoicing...
Best Christmas present.
Wasn’t this the agency with one person who did it all?
Yes, send in Elon.
They’ll just go dark
They and the Federal Reserve could all go dark for all I care.
I just love how the tone of the article makes it out like this is a bad thing that this fascist organization is shutting down.
Try reading through headlines on Yahoo and all that. Oh, all the good stuff that happened sounded bad.
