Government funds being employed against citizens to conceal the truth.

Author and environmentalist Michael Shellenberger has recently accused military contractors from the US and UK of employing advanced psychological operations and disinformation tactics aimed at manipulating public perception.

As citizens become increasingly aware of these allegations, questions arise about the ethical implications of such actions and the impact on democratic principles. The need for a thorough investigation and public discourse on the matter becomes apparent to ensure the responsible use of government funds and to safeguard the integrity of information available to the public.

Movements.org is an online platform working to connect activists worldwide. It was founded when The Alliance for Youth Movements rebranded itself in 2011. It is an online marketplace that connects dissidents in closed societies to individuals in open societies with experience in such areas as legal work, mathematics, science, media, PR and technology. When activists post requests for assistance, experts and professionals respond with offers of assistance.

In October 2008, Columbia University, the US Department of State, Google, Howcast Media and other media companies sponsored the inaugural Alliance of Youth Movements Summit. This event brought together digital activists, technology and media leaders, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and governments to convene, share best practices, and create a network of socially responsible Grassroots activists using technology for their movements and campaigns.

Following the inaugural summit, Jason Liebman (CEO and co-founder of Howcast), Roman Tsunder (co-founder of Access 360 Media), and Jared Cohen (Director of Google Ideas at Google) co-founded the Alliance for Youth Movements. This organization was dedicated to identifying, connecting, and supporting digital activists at the annual summit and throughout the year.

In December 2009, The Alliance for Youth Movements hosted its 2nd annual summit in Mexico City. This summit was sponsored by the US Department of State as well as other sponsors. The event convened activists and supporters interested in how social media and connection technologies were helping to combat violence, with a special focus on Latin America.

In March 2010, The Alliance for Youth Movements hosted its 3rd annual summit in London, which was sponsored by the UK Home Office and other media companies. At the end of the summit, it was announced that the Alliance for Youth Movements was launching a new online hub for digital activism, Movements.org.

In February 2011, Movements.org officially launched and the Alliance for Youth Movements re-branded itself as Movements.org.
…
In August 2012, Movements.org in collaboration with Al Jazeera launched an interactive tool that tracks the defections of senior Syrian military officials, members of parliament and diplomats of Assad’s regime. The tracker was released on Al Jazeera.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton records a video message for participants of the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit in Mexico City, Mexico October 16, 2009.

Hillary:
I want to congratulate all of you that have come to Mexico City in person and online to be part of this ground breaking summit. You are the vanguard of a rising generation of citizen activists who are using the latest technological tools to catalyze change, build a movement and transform lives and I hope this conference provides an opportunity for you to learn from each other and discover the tools and techniques that will open new doors for activism and empowerment when you return home.

All over the world young people like you are driving progress. In Columbia two young college graduates fed up with violence in their country used Facebook to organize 14 million people into the largest anti-terrorism demonstration in history. In Iran we saw young people using Twitter and Youtube to communicate with each other and the world. Despite a government crackdown designed to keep them quiet. In India a 14 year old high school student from Mumbai used social networking to link together half a million people that sought solidarity and support in the aftermath of the November 2008 terrorist attack.

You have all traveled … paths to get here today, you come from different cultures and countries and speak different languages but you all share a common commitment to engaging with the world using every tool at your disposal to bring people together to solve problems. And that makes you the kind of leader we need.

As we work to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of the 21century, government can’t do it alone, citizens organizations, businesses, universities everyone with a stake in our shared future must take responsibilities for shaping it. That’s what we call 21st century statecraft. So thank you for being on the front line of progress and I can’t wait to see what all of you do next.

Hillary OMG, did I do that?

Here is a TED Talk with Sharyl Attkisson.

Sharyl Attkisson
“I did a little digging and I traced the effort to a non-profit called “First Draft”, which appears to be about the first to use the phrase ‘fake news’ in its modern context.” On September 13, 2016 “First Draft” announced a partnership to tackle ‘malicious hoaxes’ and ‘fake news’ reports. The goal was supposedly to separate wheat from chaff, to prevent unproven conspiracy talk from figuring prominently in internet searches.”

Attkisson told her audience that she decided to “follow the money” to see who was funding the non-profit “First Draft” and it’s effort to take down “fake news” websites. Attkisson quickly found out that Google was funding “First Draft” and Google’s CEO Eric Schmitt (sb Schmidt), who had devoted himself to Hillary Clinton’s campaign as a multi-million dollar donor, and one of Hillary’s campaign advisors. His company funded “First Draft” around the start of the election cycle. Hillary’s surrogate, David Brock then convinced Facebook to join the effort.

Sharyl Attkisson resigned from CBS News on March 10, 2014, after 21 years with the network. Her book Stonewalled reached number 3 on The New York Times e-book non-fiction best seller list in November 2014.

In May 2013, while still employed at CBS, Attkisson alleged that her personal and work computers had been “compromised” for more than two years.

In March 2015, Attkisson and her family filed a suit against Holder, Patrick R. Donahoe and unnamed agents of the US Department of Justice, the US Postal Service and the United States in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia claiming to have been subject to illegal surveillance activities.

“First Draft” and Eric Schmidt’s funding them is only another piece of the puzzle. A December 22, 2017 article by Jerome Corsi and QAnon speculated that Schmidt resigned as CEO of Google due to a sex scandal and the fact that President Trump updated the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act that allows our government to confiscate wealth from companies involved with human suffering. In the article they remind us of the close relationship that exists between the Clintons and Schmidt that date back to 2008 when Schmidt loaned the Google jet to members of Clinton’s presidential campaign staff.

In the 2016 presidential campaign, leaked emails from Clinton campaign manager John Podesta published by WikiLeaks made clear that Schmidt wanted to play the role of Clinton’s “head outside advisor,” ready to lend to the Clinton campaign Google’s powerful micro-targeting data to develop software to be used in “get out the vote” (GOTV) and campaign fundraising efforts.

Julian Assange of Wikileaks wrote a book and gave a preview where he detailed how close Schmidt was to the Clintons. He had to go through Google to talk to Hillary.

Hillary Clinton had in her employee a guy named Wael Ghonim, another Google executive. She also hired Gehad el-Haddad.

Protesters in Cairo’s central Tahrir Square say Wael Ghonim, a marketing manager for the Internet company (Google), was one of the main youthful organizers of the online campaign that sparked the mass protests on Jan. 25.

Jared Cohen, a Google executive, was a member of the U.S. Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff under the Bush administration and then Obama’s.

https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/
Here is an excerpt from Julian Assange:

“In the same piece they argued that “this technology is overwhelmingly provided by the private sector.” Shortly afterwards, Tunisia. then Egypt, and then the rest of the Middle East, erupted in revolution. The echoes of these events on online social media became a spectacle for Western internet users. The professional commentariat, keen to rationalize uprisings against US-backed dictatorships, branded them “Twitter revolutions.” Suddenly everyone wanted to be at the intersection point between US global power and social media, and Schmidt and Cohen had already staked out the territory. With the working title “The Empire of the Mind,” they began expanding their article to book length, and sought audiences with the big names of global tech and global power as part of their research.”

The key words below are “the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit”.

Nick O’Neill of Adweek writes: “This morning I had the privilege to sit in on a panel for the Washington, D.C. Economic Partnership, in which everybody in the room was excited about two things: the new administration’s full embrace of technology, and how social technology is transforming the political realm. It is no longer required for a group of people to get together in a room and make change happen.”

“Inspired by this change, “Facebook, Access 360 Media, Columbia Law School, Google, Howcast, MTV, YouTube, and the U.S. Department of State are bringing leaders of 17 pioneering organizations from 15 countries together with technology experts next month for the first-ever conclave to empower youth against violence and oppression through the use of the latest online tools. ” The event is called the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit.”

Cohen said:

“We are seeing movements across the world use a diverse set of technologies. The simplest is Television, where we are seeing groups that have the means put their videos and images on screen in the form of commercials. But we are seeing a lot of activities using mobile phones and the Internet.”
“With mobile phones, there is a tactic called “smart mobbing,” where mobile phones are used to assemble young people around a cause. On the Internet, we are seeing online social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, and Orkut serve as important forums for young people to assemble together, build a cause, a mission, and organize events.”

In Cohen’s capacity working for Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State, he focused on counter-terrorism, counter-radicalization, Middle East/South Asia, Internet freedom, and fostering opposition in repressive countries. Right before his departure Cohen was one of the participating architects of what was labeled in 2010 as “21st century statecraft” along with Richard Boly and several foreign service officers in the Department of State’s Office of eDiplomacy In 2013, Cohen was named by Time Magazine as one of its 100 most influential people.
