The Rebranding of a Censorship Unit

Despite Congress’s efforts to dismantle the GEC, its core operations appear intact under a new name and nearly identical mission.
The way things stand right now, the shutting down of the US State Department’s disgraced Global Engagement Center (GEC) doesn’t appear to equate to the GEC actually being dismantled.
Rather, the unit, notorious for its role in flagging social media posts during the outgoing administration, seems to have simply undergone a rebranding. Now, the State Department has the Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (R/FIMI) Hub. Matt Taibbi of the Twitter Files describes what happened here as an “absurd prank” that defies Congress, which moved to force the end of the GEC. One reason for this conclusion is the result of checking the former and the newly founded unit’s mission statements for any differences. And there are virtually none. The GEC Mission was officially, “To direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate US Federal Government efforts to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations.” And here’s what R/FIMI Hub is supposed to do: “To direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate efforts of the Federal Government to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations.” The difference between the two texts is R/FIMI Hub going for, “(…) efforts of the Federal Government” – rather than GEC’s “US Federal Government efforts.” Not only that – and the fact that this alleged focus on foreign threats turned into a smokescreen for going after online speech at home – R/FIMI Hub is also reportedly set to keep about 50 GEC staff, and continue to be funded, as before, with just under $30 million via grants and contracts. Shuttering the GEC was a cause championed by Congress Republicans through a number of investigations, essentially suspecting that its role was to facilitate, through obfuscation, what is otherwise illegal government involvement in censorship. They are now, even though coming to power at all levels, presented with a case that illustrates the functioning of what many of them like to call “the deep state” – a permanent power structure underlying elected ones, where a brazen “rebrand” of this kind can happen right in front of everyone. Former GEC staff are reportedly planning to carry on their work, dispersed across the State Department, thus creating the illusion of the unit being disbanded, but with R/FIMI Hub seemingly envisaged as just that – a hub for their continued activities. The activities included the GEC teaming up with third parties like the Global Disinformation Index that would “score” content for advertisers, to the detriment of conservative media. |

Deep State Deconstruction: DOGE and Treasury

Who is Robert Malone
Robert W Malone MD, MS
This is a game changer, and it’s scalable worldwide!
“Follow the money” takes on a new meaning when the bloodhound is an algorithm-powered web crawling bot designed to drill through internal government firewalls and map out redundancy, waste, and longstanding hidden internal influence networks established over decades.
What am I talking about?
Algorithmic Corruption Mapping
To the best of my ability, I am describing a key part of the DOGE toolkit based on the fragments of information that have recently been made public. If I understand correctly, what has been developed is almost infinitely scalable and could be readily deployed by allied governments to root out corruption. DOGE appears to be engaged in a truly radical experiment in government spending transparency and accountability by applying modern information technology tools to a problem set long believed to be intractable.
We will probably learn more during the DOGE Super Bowl commercial airing soon.
But before we go further down this particular rabbit hole, please take a moment to listen to Mike Benz describe the USAID disinformation program:
Getting back to DOGE and using algorithmic computational tools to map financial relationships, influence networks, and waste/fraud and abuse within the Federal Government by following the money.
To understand how this works, watch this video:

Frankly, my sense is that the video above is at least in part a PsyOp, designed to scare the pants off of DeepState/Administrative State “Senior Executive Service” minions within the Treasury Department and across the Federal Bureaucracy.
But it lays out strategy and tactics that could well become transformational, and could not only provide a means to uncover organizational corruption but also to enable a level of transparency that will lead to an unprecedented support by citizens for the US federal government.
This vision looks to me like it could play a big role in Making America Great Again.
For more insight into what this all means, the changes it might bring, and the forces at play, I recommend this final video of a recent interview with internet/web browser pioneer Mark Andreessen:
Marc Andreessen: Trump, Power, Tech, AI, Immigration & Future of America | Lex Fridman Podcast #458
With the election of Donald Trump and his alliance with Elon Musk, there has been a power shift in the Matrix.
I can hardly wait to see what happens when these types of tools are let loose on the NIH, BARDA, FDA, CDC, USDA and the whole Federal Research and Development Enterprise. It will abruptly become much more difficult to build and sustain the types of mafia-like power networks that have sustained the likes of Anthony Fauci and his band.
MAGA/MAHA is bringing a new Sheriff to DC town. Expect the wailing to continue to increase for the foreseeable future.
Let’s go Bobby!

Report recommends government surveillance to monitor “disinformation”

From The Democracy Fund
Written by TDF’s Legal Team
The Hogue Report recommends the creation of a government surveillance department to monitor Canadians for online disinformation.
TDF is troubled by comments in the Hogue Report that “disinformation” is an “existential threat” to Canadian democracy. Disturbingly, the Report recommends that the government consider creating a separate entity to “monitor the domestic open-source online information environment for misinformation and disinformation that might impact Canadian democratic processes.”
Problematically, while the report claims that “disinformation is difficult to detect,” the report does not sufficiently define “disinformation.” It assumes that there exists people in government capable of infallibly discerning truth from falsehood.
No government has been able to defend or articulate its claim 1) to a superior theory of knowledge or 2) that government agents have extraordinary truth-seeking cognitive skills. In fact, history demonstrates that governments are often the biggest purveyors of falsehood. TDF lawyers have repeatedly raised this issue, particularly during a 2023 meeting with UNESCO representatives.
Additionally, the Hogue Report claims that “information manipulation (whether foreign or not) poses the single biggest risk to our democracy.” It even acknowledges that online disinformation campaigns could be used to create conflict and amplify division.
However, the Liberal government’s Bill C-63 would require social media companies to create a system whereby anyone in Canada can flag and report “harmful content.” As outlined in TDF’s Online Harms Brief this would, unwittingly, allow for mass reporting of content by bad faith actors, human or AI, domestic or foreign (through a domestic proxy). Rather than strengthen the information environment against manipulation, Bill C-63 would weaken it. It is a contradiction for the government to complain about the manipulation of the information environment while simultaneously pushing a law that makes it easier to do so.
Litigation Director Mark Joseph said: “The Report laments that Canadians are exposed to disinformation, as if this is something new: people have always been exposed to ambiguous or false claims. Canadians have simply used basic human discernment to differentiate between truth and falsehood. It is perilous for citizens to surrender their role as final arbiters of civil, political and moral truths to the government since government censors have no special claim to truth-seeking or infallibility.”
