Biden DHS spent counterterrorism funds on anti-conservative ‘counterpropaganda'
|
[Washington Examiner] While the Department of Homeland Security has allowed as many as 10 million immigrants to flood the southern border, the domestic surveillance state has prioritized something as a more important matter. According to documents unearthed by the Media Research Center, DHS paid $700,000 from a counterterrorism program to a self-described propaganda network to attack conservatives.
The source of the funding was the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program, which was created under President Barack Obama to target al Qaeda, put on hold, and then clandestinely revived by then-acting DHS head Kevin McAleenan and Miles Taylor, the infamous and insufferable "Anonymous" resistance within the Trump administration, with funding that "circumvented" the White House budgeting process. The beneficiary of the grant under President Joe Biden is the (already taxpayer-funded) University of Rhode Island’s Media Education Lab.
"Propaganda can also be used for socially beneficial purposes," the application read as it outlined its own counterpropaganda model.
| A few years ago it was called nudging. |
"Indeed, because the public has long been recognized as being suggestible, the United States has long made use of beneficial propaganda during WWI, WWII, and the Cold War." The university’s Media Education Lab would then work with a partner activist organization to write blog posts equating "MAGA supporters" to antisemite Louis Farrakhan
and blaming former President Donald Trump for creating a "darker, scarier, angrier, less hopeful country," offer cash incentives to children to post social media demands for increase "media literacy," and expand anti-conservative seminars established by the State Department. These seminars, known as Courageous RI, are based on a manifesto that claims "political extremism, rage, and anti-government theories ... can lead to targeted violence and domestic terrorism."
