My article has only been reposted on news aggregator sites (the Reddit ones are bots). At least one them (NewsNow) is funded by the U.K. Government, Soros, and Omidyar to combat so-called misinformation. 😹

Not long ago, I wrote an article about SeaLight that I intended to submit to Antiwar.com, but didn’t feel that it was good enough for publication. This morning, I decided to submit it as is, on a whim. I just heard back from the editor. They’re going to run it on Monday or Tuesday! I’ll publish it here and on my Substack as soon as they do.
Throughout the three-day course, we’ve looked at the strategic, operational and tactical levels. We’ve looked at the operational framework in which both nations work. Some of the considerations that we have to work together with. We’ve looked at media programs and media talent and preparing that talent and facilitating media embed programs. And we also unpacked and looked at photography workshop as well, where we’ve been able to have lots of fun looking at the kits and the tools, and taking some photography and vision in order to amplify key messages into the region.

Embedded journalism:
The original purpose of embedding was to control journalists, according to Helen Benedict, a professor at the Columbia Journalism School. Citing award-winning Australian journalist Phillip Knightley’s book “The First Casualty: The War Correspondent as Hero and Myth-Maker from the Crimea to Iraq” which describes how the U.S. government invented embedded journalism in response to critical coverage of the Vietnam War. As civilian casualties in Afghanistan reached 5,000, the Pentagon sought a media strategy that would bring attention back to the military’s role in the war, especially the role played by ordinary American service members. This would require bringing war correspondents on side.

Unlocking China’s “Media Unlocked” Propagandists
Recently, Media Unlocked unveiled its latest triumph–an interview with a former U.S. president’s brother, Neil Bush, whose George H.W. Bush Foundation For U.S.-China Relations has allegedly received millions of dollars from a group associated with CCP influence operations. Bush–apparently unconcerned that he was participating in Beijing’s propaganda campaign–helpfully sang the praise of China’s communist system, its electric vehicle industry and, incredibly, even announced that he was observing a “massive freedom movement” in today’s China.
Propagandists? Und das bist du nicht?
Now, let’s get into who’s funding the George H.W. Bush Foundation For U.S.-China Relations. Powell links to a Fox News article about its funding from the China–United States Exchange Foundation, based in Hong Kong. The Fox News article links to an Axios article (which is behind a paywall). Nowhere does Powell mention that the foundation also gets funding from the U.S. Department of State, The Rockefeller Foundation, etc.
