Terrorist-Friendly Propaganda Aggregator Reuters Took $9 Million from Biden's DoD For... "Large Scale Social Deception" and "Active Social Engineering"

Happy Friday, and Happy Valentine's Day.

I would guess that this money was granted not to do these things, but to stop "Right Wing Russian Extremists" from doing them.

But of course, the left has justified its government-sponsored censorship and propaganda on the claim that Right Wing Russian Extremists are A Threat So Threatening that the Constitution is basically repealed until the emergency is over, which is never, because tyrants never declare an emergency over.

So we're paying foreign leftwing propaganda networks to censor the American citizenry.

Again.

The news that Reuters had a multimillion-dollar contract with the Defense Department for "large scale social deception" has reignited concerns about government influence over media organizations. The contract, covering a period from 2018 to 2022, was uncovered through a purchase order posted by Elon Musk, raising eyebrows over the scope and purpose of the arrangement.
When asked about the contract, Reuters did not directly respond to whether the federal government routinely collaborates with the organization to deceive the public. Steve Rubley, CEO of Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS), claimed that TRSS is a "separate U.S. legal entity" from Reuters News and operates independently. However, this explanation has not quelled skepticism, particularly given longstanding allegations that Reuters has worked to advance government narratives in the past.
President Donald Trump weighed in on the controversy, calling for Reuters to "GIVE BACK THE MONEY, NOW!" He pointed to the contract as further proof of left-wing media's entanglement with government interests. Musk, who has been outspoken against corruption and misinformation, called the revelation "a total scam" and vowed to investigate Reuters' financial ties with the government.
Reuters has long promoted itself as a neutral and ethical news agency, claiming to uphold "the values of integrity and freedom." However, this contract raises significant concerns about whether its coverage has been influenced by financial ties to government agencies. Journalist Carl Bernstein has previously reported on Reuters' alleged links to intelligence operations, further fueling doubts about its independence.

Reuters was paid millions of dollars by the US government for “large scale social deception”.

That is literally what it says on the purchase order! They’re a total scam.

Just wow. https://t.co/GGxoVQSwN8

Because that is supposed to be a counter to the idea of an out of control bureaucracy that is working against the interests of the American people, I guess.

28 There is no legal or constitutional basis for unelected judges to stop the executive branch from carrying out its functions. Notwithstanding they are inferior courts, the judiciary has no power over the execution of duties.

At best this is a stall tactic meant to distribute more taxpayer money to the Democratic Party. At worst it is grounds for impeachment of judges.

I would completely ignore any injunction as unconstitutional right up until SCOTUS.

I watched most of it on a YT stream. Magnificent. Not only the content, but the delivery was pitch-perfect. Those 'effers needed some criticism and direction, and JD spoke over them to the people of Europe, Britain included. Reform in Blighty, RN in France, and AfD in Germany, all of them with significant voter support, must be heard. Now the US has kindred spirits in the US to champion their cause. Well done, DJT and JD!

39 I encourage everyone to watch JD's speech. He addresses this sort of thing directly, with no punches pulled. IMHO, Trump is going around the Europe's leaders directly to the people of Europe. He's telling them "If you like what we're doing in America, you too can do that in your country". Reform, AfD, and National Rally will all benefit.

JD Vance went to the Munich Security Conference and roasted the entire continent of Europe for being petty tyrants and criminalizing freedom of speech, including a British man arrested for praying at an abortion clinic.

‘If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you, nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump.’

I didn't know that much of it. But I consistently saw something.

And I've had the opinion that the left funds themselves by diverting our tax dollars for some time now.

It's all narcissism. Not that we can't have narcissists in traditional and conservative ranks, but leftism IS narcissism.

83 BREAKING: In final days, Biden awarded $50 million to self-dealing charity leader

“During President Joe Biden‘s last 20 days in office, his administration issued at least $1 billion in grants to hundreds of nonprofit groups scattered throughout the United States. A slice of that pie, $50 million, was awarded by the Department of Energy to a little-known charity in New Mexico called the Tribal Energy Consortium.”
Question
If Biden can unilaterally award multi million dollar contracts and billions to Ukraine on his own authority, why can't Trump cancel them?

Europe was told the game is up. We don't respect your soft power and if you keep it up we are prepared to bury you up to your necks, dump honey on your head and let loose an ant colony on you.

He said it a bit nicer than that - but he pretty much said just that.

The secret sauce is that Trump took over the Republican Party.

There'd be a LOT more grinding of gears to a halt if the Senate were publicly setting up committees to look into Trump's actions.

Democrats screaming about nonsense is par for the course. Republicans joining them is what turns normal political disputes into actual action.

What we are learning is that, in addition to the media's natural lefty bias, they were getting paid tons of cold hard cash as bribes to say nice things about Democraps and attack the Dum's political enemies.

That's why most of the leftwing media outlets -- CNN, etc -- didn't seem to care much about their ratings. They would pimp relentless leftwing talking points, even if it cost them viewers. Who needs actual viewers when you're getting cash under the table?

Actually, it's the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. It requires presidents to spend all appropriations. It changed appropriations from a maximum to a minimum.

I'd be surprised if the Act survived Trump's second term, either directly repealed by Congress or overturned as unconstitutional by SCOTUS.

143 Reuters? Propaganda? Unpossible!

Reuters, 6am today: What Musk and Trump are doing is worse than Project 2025. Trump’s early actions in office have in many cases expanded upon proposals from Project 2025's conservative policy blueprint that the Republican tried to distance himself from on the campaign trail, a Reuters review found.

From actions halting U.S. aid abroad to fortifying the southern border and restrictions on transgender athletes, Reuters identified more than a dozen Trump executive orders or other policy moves that exceed in ambition or scope what Project 2025’s 900-page “Mandate for Leadership” book advocated in a series of detailed policy proposals.

Overt white supremacy has overtaken the covert white supremacy of the Turner Diary days. It’s gone mainstream.

It fully explains (not that I needed an explanation)why Sky News *UK* was delivering nightly talking points from the DNC disguised as news for all of 2016 and beyond.

It makes sense to deliver the Hillary version of completely fake events to influence voters in America but why the hell would a UK news outlet need or for that matter have direct immediate access to OUR phony news and DNC buzzphrases? And why would they want to distribute them when they were constantly being proven lies or wrong?

It's one thing to be commie leftarded and have that take on every event, quite another to literally be an unquestioning mouthpiece up the manpussy of the DNC.

160 143 From actions halting U.S. aid abroad to fortifying the southern border and restrictions on transgender athletes, Reuters identified more than a dozen Trump executive orders or other policy moves that exceed in ambition or scope what Project 2025’s 900-page “Mandate for Leadership” book advocated in a series of detailed policy proposals.

Overt white supremacy has overtaken the covert white supremacy of the Turner Diary days. It’s gone mainstream.
The three main ideologies playing out in the Trump Administration are

1. So, the 900 page Project 2025 was a laundry list of conservative-like things, a wishlist that had been appended to for decades. The sort of list of things that any Republican would be expected to follow through on. This means that women are now required to report their periods to Trump personally, I think.

Not only was he excellent in tone & delivery but also the message.

A message I haven't seen delivered by any Western politician in a long time, if ever.

The looks on the faces of the EU ministers, officers, and bureaucrats faces said it all.

Common sense is making a comeback.

Listen to that audio of Jamie Dimon cracking the whip at JP Morgan over the same kinds of bureaucratic issues.

A lot of people have had it with the corruption, idiocy & insanity we've been putting up with for decades from the self-interested, over-educated, Cultist, mid-wits who deigned themselves our "leaders" & saviors.

They are going to fight hard for this power they've attained over most of the globe.

The "war" began in 2016 (it could easily be argued much earlier).

229 I noticed in the prior thread that some mentiond JD Vance's speech in Munich.

I watched most of it on a YT stream. Magnificent. Not only the content, but the delivery was pitch-perfect. Those 'effers needed some criticism and direction, and JD spoke over them to the people of Europe, Britain included. Reform in Blighty, RN in France, and AfD in Germany, all of them with significant voter support, must be heard. Now the US has kindred spirits in the US to champion their cause. Well done, DJT and JD!

Posted by: mrp at February 14, 2025 12:18 PM (rj6Yv)

His speech was obviously prepared, and whoever put it together, well done. JDV was a good vehicle for the speech, and he did a good job calling out their actual tyranny against their own people.

Listen to Mike Benz on Rogan where he talks about how USAID and other cut outs have been funding most of our music for decades.

The CIA openly admits to "Jazz Diplomacy" (promoting black singers in the '50s to show African despots that the US wasn't racist, and they should work with the US not the USSR.) Benz says it's still going on to this day. Taylor Swift, for example, is mentioned in some CIA cut out NGO documents.

Which clears them up to use the actual politics of it!

Still, how would you differentiate somebody who said "Call somebody a Nazi, to punch them" from a "fascist"/"bully"?

So they not only use the politics of fascism, but they also feel free to act as bullies because "they're not fascists".

The word means nothing to them. Because they don't understand that most of the "10 Rules for Radicals" is about political bullying.

Wait until we find out what State and DoD are funding. Plus god knows how many other agencies.

It never was anything but propaganda, but it's been internalized by everybody who didn't grow up conservative and rural.
Posted by: Axeman at February 14, 2025 01:01 PM (krQz2)

Is it though? Or is it just ... all fake?

The Deep State / intelligence agencies have been doing this shit since the 1940's all over the world. Building fake consensus, promoting unpopular candidates with unpopular positions, imprisoning / lawfareing opposing candidates, cheating in elections, controlling media, rigging polls ...

Why would we believe anything we see in the media is organic or real?

(This, by the way, is why the Russians are so fucked as a culture. The USSR was not as good at propaganda, everyone knew they were being lied to, and to this day, no one believes anything. Because it's hard to build trust back.)
