George Soros is probably paying for this madness.

If I was him, I would have tried to extract as much info from her as possible. Who is financing them, where are they based, what is her history. Too bad he didn’t.

"They [Good Information Foundation] boast on their homepage that good information is the lifeblood of a democracy."

Indeed, they do. The Good Information Foundation, an IRS designated not-for-profit charitable organization, engages in what they call The Civic News Initiative, which is likely what their reach out to Moore was in support of. "Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office," the IRS specifies.

"The Good Information Foundation will build a network of local freelance editors, reporters, content producers and community organizers," they write, "committed to producing and distributing factual, value-driven news and content to the communities in which they live. The Good Information Foundation will compensate them to publish their original reporting online and offer the content free of charge to any global, national, state or local news organizations looking to bolster their reporting capacity and coverage within those communities and geographies."

Additionally, they claim as their mission that they intend "to increase the flow of good, factual information online to counter and rebut the spread of misinformation and disinformation. We do this by creating, incubating, funding and lifting up fact-based solutions, voices, programs and initiatives that can be quickly developed, tested and deployed at scale. We are on offense against disinformation."

Hopefully someone with more time than I will investigate Rick Stengel and the GIF as it pertains to where the other money went. Just as many here suspected, it seems that the 'disinformation bureau' went underground.

And Rick Stengel has his own website: https://richardstengel.com

Richard Stengel is the longest serving Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs in American history (2013-16). While at the State Department, he helped modernize State’s communications and led the department’s counter-disinformation efforts. He helped create and oversee the Global Engagement Center, the United States’ only stand-alone anti-ISIL messaging entity. He spearheaded the creation of the Sawab Center in Abu Dhabi, the first joint American and foreign counter ISIL messaging hub, which has become a template for others around the world.

He also led department-wide efforts to counter the global rise of disinformation. In addition, the Under Secretary oversees all communications from the podium and beyond. He also oversaw the modernization of all embassies websites and pioneered the use of social media at the Department. He also led the creation of English for All, a government-wide effort to promote the teaching of English around the world and oversaw the departments extensive educational exchanges, including the Fulbright Scholarship.

State’s ...counter-disinformation efforts.

Bwahahahaha......

As Greg House said: Everyone lies.

That's why we have a constitution. The founders built a government based on the fact that power corrupts and you can trust no one.

How long until this particular whistleblower attorney’s state Bar Association goes after him the way that New Mexico has been going after Professor David Clement?

I would bet that it is American taxpayers who are paying for it.
