"This is an article about the worlds most powerful propaganda apparatus. It could be seen as a companion or continuation of ‘Two Wings, One Ugly Bird.’
In an era where information shapes perceptions and drives political outcomes, a sprawling network of organizations—rooted in U.S. government agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)—has emerged as a formidable force in the modern global information war.
Author’s Note:
Far from the shadowy espionage of Cold War lore, this modern machine operates in plain sight, leveraging quasi-independent entities like NewsGuard and Internews to influence narratives, destabilize governments, and promote American interests worldwide.
This article explores how this apparatus functions, its key players, and concrete examples of its impact."

"Financial backing of the Le Baron club featured in Rachel Chandler's Instagram posts shows that Andre Balaz is the key player. I can't believe I never knew it wasn't Epstein Island. But here's the thing.
This appears to be a front of “alleged” trafficking.
Look at some of the Instagram posts.
Balaz is in Epstein's black book. Close to the likes of Maria Abromovic, Naomi Campbell (black book), and Ghislaine Maxwell. He was called out for essentially being a rapist.
But it gets even more interesting. The club shut down shortly after Trump came into power. There was a Shanghai branch that featured guests like Kanye West and Pharrell."

I have collected a folder full of pics of the Chinatown Le Baron from different sources and pretty much can reproduce all of the Rachel Chandler security pics. One source that still has a hand full of pics online - scroll to the bottom:

Note the distinctive wall paper and octopus-shaped lights. The "buckets" are actually little leather covered stools.
"Picture this: two wings of the same sh**ty, diseased bird, flapping maniacally in opposite directions, yet somehow keeping the whole beast aloft. That’s the Democratic and Republican parties—or so the saying goes. But what if the bird itself is just a puppet, and the strings are held by a shadowy agency with a three-letter name we all know too well?
Welcome to the world of the CIA and its "cut-outs," the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the International Republican Institute (IRI)—two outfits that sound like noble champions of democracy, but might just be the gears in a machine designed to control the game, no matter who’s sitting in the White House.
For decades, whispers have circulated about the CIA’s meddling in foreign elections—toppling governments and propping up pro-US dictators, all under the guise of "spreading freedom" or “defending democracy.” But what if the real story isn’t just overseas? What if the same playbook has been running right here at home, shaping the very political parties we vote for?
The NDI and IRI aren’t just tools for foreign regime change—they’re the CIA’s way of keeping America’s political class on a leash, Democrat and Republican alike.
In this article, we’ll dive into how these so-called democracy promoters—funded by your tax dollars through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)—turned the two-party system into a controlled opposition, all while selling the world a story." ...
