Global Engagement Center Fighting Russian Propaganda with American Propaganda
Basically, the GECr is allowed to fund organizations that will be able to counter state-based (i.e. Russia and China) and non-stated based propaganda with more propaganda, the big difference being that it will be the “right kind” of propaganda.
As you can see, the functions of the Global Engagement Center morphed significantly from March 2016 to December 2016, becoming a state-based propaganda/anti-propaganda tool of Washington rather than a tool that was originally designed to counter international terrorism for the global good.
Most of the missing links:
State Department: Global Engagement Center
S.2943 – National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017
Came across this video from the Global Engagement Center, a few weeks ago, and couldn’t find anything written about, it in alternative media, at the time. Accidentally came across this article, while looking up the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation. Already knew about the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, but not the GEC. 🤷🏼♀️
