The US bipartisan initiative to launch information warfare against Russia has George Soros’s fingerprints all over it, Pamela Geller, US journalist and President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative told Radio Sputnik. According to Geller, Soros wants to prevent a rapprochement between Russia and the US.
It appears that US policymakers are continuing to push ahead with their “counter-propaganda” efforts aimed against state actors and, most notably, Russia.
According to the Daily Beast, $160 million will be allocated for the Global Engagement Center (GEC) to counter “foreign propaganda;” an additional $100 million will be spent to “support objective Russian-language journalism, counter ‘fake news,’ and support research on the effects of information warfare.”
The GEC was initially created under the Obama administration to fight Daesh (ISIS/ISIL) propaganda.
The initiative was kicked off by Republican Sen. Rob Portman and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy in late 2016 and was signed into law by then President Barack Obama on December 23 as part of the FY 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Conference Report.
