US State Department Paying Polish Media for Favorable Ukraine Refugee Coverage

I guess to some people it would be new news that the US State Department pays media outlets all over the world to publish certain news stories.

It’s not news to me.

I’ve been trying to explain this to people for years.

The State Department, particularly through NED, has been running foreign media since forever, but it is much more blunt and straightforward – basically just saying the US is good and everyone else is evil, and attacking any politician or group that opposes this agenda.

RT:

The US Consulate General in Krakow is soliciting Polish outlets to write about Ukrainian refugees “returning and rebuilding,” it emerged on Wednesday. Washington is offering $50,000 for the year-long project.

The project “to promote coverage in Poland by local and regional media representatives of stories in Ukraine” was first spotted by a Telegram channel based in Belarus. It can be found at the website of the US embassy in Poland, under the designation WAW-NOFO-FY23-05.

It was unclear when the solicitation was originally posted. However, the deadline for submissions is end of the day Friday, September 15.

According to the post, the goal is to “promote in-depth reporting by local and regional Polish media of the return of Ukrainian families from Poland to Ukraine and their social and physical rebuilding efforts, particularly those built on partnerships between Poles and Ukrainians.”

The articles should fuel “public understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by Ukrainians” as well as interest in Ukrainian “efforts to return and rebuild” and the “enduring impact of support provided by Polish society to Ukrainian refugees.”

The solicitation suggests the project would actually be given to a Polish NGO, with US embassy staff having “substantial involvement in the grant implementation, including reviewing and approving selection of participants, trainers, and award decisions within the project.”

The NGO would get a grant of $50,000 (about 215,500 zloty at the current exchange rate) and then have Polish journalists compete for portions of the money. The embassy would evaluate their success by the “quality and reach of reports generated.”

The project also includes at least one workshop teaching the reporters “culturally sensitive and trauma-informed manner and how to create compelling human-interest stories in this context,” taught by “experts in the intersection between mental health and journalism in war zones” and others with the relevant experience.

The entire project is slated to run for a single year, though Washington reserves the right to extend that if it’s judged to be “in the best interest of the US Department of State.”

You can look at the purpose of this story…

The Poles are unhappy about the Ukrainian refugees, who behave very badly and cause bad problems in their country.

The US State Department feels a need to micro-manage stuff like this, so they go in with propaganda saying the refugees are leaving soon (which is obviously untrue) and praising the Poles for their generosity.

I am so disgusted with the fakery, lies and waste of taxpayer money spent on deception.

Zeepers will believe these stories are real - just as they believe the “war news” showing glorious victories and Russian agonies reflect the true situation.

Classic definition of Operation Mockingbird, initiated just after WW2, with first major exposure by the 1975 Church Committee.

I'm just guessing, but I will say there's probably very little in the political circles that is free.. In that part of the underworld, everybody's gotta pay the bite....

The State Department is helping Zelensky keep the grift going by paying Poland to write stories about Ukrainian refugees returning to the Ukraine to ‘rebuild.’ Nothing about the threats the Ukraine is making to forcibly return fighting aged men, the letters sent to host countries stating those Ukrainians are no longer authorized to remain but must return to the Ukraine.

Now, Biden will say he needs to send them another 100 Billion taxpayer dollars to the Ukrainian wasteland so returning/forcibly returned refugees can go to Ikea and buy new furnishings when they move ‘home’ to the smoking craters where their villages once were (cue the music, the Carpenter’s singing, “We’ve only just begun....”).

"US State Department Paying Polish Media for Favorable Ukraine Refugee Coverage"

Because of my financial situation, I've been in 'shared accommodation', in other words, a rooming house, for six years. Currently, there are two Eukers in the house, two who were here previously, have moved.

Three of these four don't seem to have even rudimentary intelligence or people skills. Of the two that moved on, one was reasonably intelligent and polite. He had worked for several years on a cruise line. The other one was apparently trained as a nurse. Her people skills were such that she must have been a nurse at a morgue in Youcraint.

In 2BC (2 years before covid) there was a Russian living in the house, who was a trucker. His HO was Toronto, but he did much driving out of Alberta. He explained how, in a number of ways, there was much more freedom in Russia than PRC (Politically Repressive Canaduh). Of course, this guy was in his mid to late 30s and all these Eukers are 25 or less.

This brings up the point: Why TF aren't these two losers not back in Youcraint, 'defending' the globalists, Blackwater and WEF, like XiJinBiden, Cockwomble True-dolt, et al? Oops, my bad! I guess that should be Zelenskyy's Youcraint, rather than the globalists, et all. We (NATO) are spending $billions to defend the globalists, give 'Big Guy' his 'taste', and buy 'fat little dancer' Zelenskyy and family, yet ANOTHER mansion, this time in Egypt!
