Since TechCamp was founded under President Barack Obama’s State Department during the tenure of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the opaque group has led dozens of events across the planet, and since the election of President Trump a disproportionate number of the events focus on fighting “fake news.”
While TechCamp’s purpose was vague at its inception, it was allegedly first used to foment dissent and eventually civil war in Ukraine in 2013.
Following this allegation, the organization seemed to keep a relatively low profile until 2017.
However, in 2015 TechCamp taught Latvian journalists how to “counter misinformation and propaganda” at one of its events.
TechCamp seemed to increase its activity after President Obama infamously signed the National Defense Authorization Act on December 24, 2016, which included the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act of 2016.
According to ZeroHedge, this allowed President Obama’s federal government to potentially form its own “Ministry of Truth.”
The CDPA offered a massive $160 million for the purpose of fighting what would later become known as” fake news” in the United States and globally.
While it is unclear where this funding was dispersed, the timeline appears to coincide with TechCamp beginning its fight against “fake news” globally.
In short, as former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took the reigns of the State Department, the group was allowed to flourish.
During February of 2017, only a month after President Trump’s inauguration and after the media had already blamed “fake news” and Russia for the 2016 election results, the group began holding events in Europe with “fake news” as a major focus.

You mean like 45 million on the muller report?
Like that??
I remember FraudCo’s factcheck.org site and his 0-hole kissers at Snopes working overtime to obscure any truth about the inelgible 44.
“Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took the reigns of the State Department, the group was allowed to flourish.”
Now aint that a kick in the head!
I stopped reading when the author cited ZeroHedge.
That bill, co-authored by Rob Portman (R), was put forth in March of 2016, a time when Hillary was considered a shoe in. It didn't pass until December, after Trump had won. But the congress was fine with giving Hillary Clinton a Federal agency dedicated to calling everything that doesn't agree with her "hate speech" and "Fake news"
So after whining hysterically about not doing anyting about “Russian interference in 2016” the Leftist scum machine is now whining hysterically that the US Govt is fighting back?
What a bunch of total ass clowns
This reads like fake news from this outfit.
Sounds like a good investment to me. Not sure how obunghole used it (to sell the iranian deal) but Trump does have a misinformation campaign running against him from within and without.
ZH may bat under 50% but it’s still far and away exceeding the true-positive rate of anything in the MSM.
That and much more.
You do know there is censorship on Social media?
Feel the same way.
Although what did we expect. D.C. is a swap.
Well then you have been successful brainwashed by the Deep State.
Try sticking to facts, logic and critical thinking. You will get more respect.
Exactly!
So you do not think there is any censorship against President Trump and conservatives?
