DOGE investigations reveal mysterious Defense Department payments to Reuters for "large scale social deception" project between 2018-2022.

While DARPA claims it was for cyber defense, questions swirl about why a news agency received millions for "social engineering."

The revelation comes as other media outlets face scrutiny over federal funding.

They never really shut down Operation Mockingbird. They just found ways to hide it.

Whoever made that order never believed it would be seen by the public.

This was initiated in 2018, during the first Trump administration.

I wonder what it was about.

Whatever little faith Trump had in the agencies before is gone now...until he has everyone HE wants in place.

Good catch btw.

I am just numb as to everything they are finding out.

Just wow.

We need people who at least LIKE their country to be in positions of power.

I think that is the major difference between the Progressives from 1900 - 1960 and from 1960 to present. The early Progressives liked the United States, or at least, most of the people in the U.S. government did.

Later “Progressives” despised the United States and its people.

These media groups get pallets of money and will happily dance for their pimp masters. Anyone wonder why President Trump has been piled on so horrifically? It is because these paid whores are on their knees fellating for their masters.

The money needs to be returned and those b@stards need to be held to account.

Any media entity who goes after our President needs to be brought to heel.

That “Covid” was ever a spreading disease, let alone a killer “pandemic”, was one such deception, but there are so many more this could have been funding.

DOD and DARPA were massive funders to the Peter Daszak Eco-Health NGO / cutout..... Which then funded US and Chinese gain of function research. Now it turns out that USAID was doing the same.

All these millions (50-70 milions) for gain of function research were basically welfare programs for kooky, failed, bottom feeder scientists. Same as global warming research

“DOGE investigations reveal mysterious Defense Department payments to Reuters for “large scale social deception” project between 2018-2022.”

It should be noted that the Zeepers often post from Reuters.

Perhaps he wanted it public...if he wanted to keep it hidden, he would have called it something like “Feeding the Starving Children in Biafra”, for example.
