Head Of USAID Funded Deep State Propaganda Network: “Follow The Money…”

…to understand how “disinformation” is spread.
Good advice:
Wikileaks reveals US spent $472.6M for covert censorship, media control: 87 percent of the funding for Internews Network, an NGO accused of censorship which claims it reaches up to 778 million people globally, reportedly came from USAID...
…
Wikileaks has revealed that the United States allegedly transferred $472.6 million through Internews Network, a global media non-governmental organisation (NGO) suspected of promoting covert censorship and media control.
USAspending data shows that in the last 17 years, 87 percent of the funding, equivalent to $415 million, came from USAID, while the US Department of State awarded an additional $57 million in the same period.
Internews claims to have “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing 4,799 hours of broadcasts in one year alone, reaching up to 778 million people globally. Wikileaks also said in a series of posts on X that it “trained" over 9,000 journalists in 2023 and supported social media censorship initiatives.
Reports suggest that Jeanne Bourgault earns $451,000 annually as the leader of Internews. Bourgault, a vocal advocate for global advertising “exclusion lists,” has pushed for censoring what she deems “disinformation.”
Critics argue this amounts to subjective censorship, as her definitions of “good” or “bad” content remain contentious. Social media users have labelled the US government's support for the organisation as a "literal state propaganda network."

Internews’ ties to George Soros’s Open Society Foundations have raised further questions.
According to information on its website, Internews partnered with Soros to establish the Balkan Media Network during the siege of Sarajevo in 1994, connecting independent media organisations in the former Yugoslavia.
Soros is known for his role in the collapse of the Eastern Bloc and alleged interference in domestic affairs.
WikiLeaks’ revelations included key figures linked to Internews, such as Democratic donor Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, wife of NVIDIA billionaire Trench Coxe.
In 2023, Jeanne Bourgault launched a $10 million fund at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), supported by Hillary Clinton.

This nondescript & dull gray building in Northern California next to a Postal facility was the apparent headquarters of a global Deep State agitprop campaign:
Yet despite it’s unobtrusive facade, this dark-funded propaganda outlet had a massive reach and apparently instigated political turmoil in hotspots across the globe, including the Ukraine, Afghanistan and Myanmar among others:
U.S. taxpayers are funding an obscure news agency through USAID called Internews Network…
…
This is way bigger than the Politico scandal.
U.S. taxpayers have been funding an obscure news agency called Internews Network for years.
Internews is funded heavily by the U.S. government, primarily through USAID. There are 467 grants for Internews totaling a whopping $476.4 MILLION on the USASpending.gov website.
These massive figures track with Internews’ Form 990s, where it discloses tens of millions of dollars in government grants every year.
What is Internews? The organization claims to be an “international nonprofit” that supports “independent media” in emerging democracies and uses media as a tool to reduce conflict.
A government supporting “independent media” is obviously a contradiction in terms so something else must be going on here.
The National Endowment for Democracy, founded in 1983 by Ronald Reagan to promote “democracy” worldwide, but since hijacked by globalists and leftists, has also given significantly to Internews through its Center for International Media.
NED was briefly defunded in 1993 by Republicans, but currently its budget is estimated to be a massive $330 million a year. Trump had proposed slashing NED’s funding in 2018.
Internews is listed as a recipient of NED’s contributions. For example, the NED’s media initiatives through CIMA was at least $18.7 million in 2015 and Internews was one of the listed recipients.
NED has been strongly associated with engineering “colored revolutions” around the globe, and by extension, so is Internews. They are both involved in nearly ever hotspot on the planet: Venezuela, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, Cambodia, Afghanistan… the list goes on and on.
Who used to sit on the Board of Directors for National Endowment for Democracy? None other than Victoria Nuland, who was the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs from 2021 to 2024.
Who ran USAID from 2021 to 2025, which funded Internews? Samantha Power.

That news organization is a front. The USAID is nothing more than a tool to steal taxpayer money and funnel it to liberals and liberal causes. People need to go to prison.

It is more than this... it is a hidden arm of the CIA utilized to push propaganda in this country and across the world...

The street violence and political unrest we saw in the streets during the long, hot summer of 2020 had all the telltale signs of the CIA sponsored color revolutions we saw throughout Eastern Europe and the Middle East during the early 2000s.
Civil libertarians long argued that the CIA would soon unleash it’s regime change operations upon the American people yet were ridiculed as tin-foil nutters.
Who is laughing now?
