USAID-funded Internews went from funding media organizations with George Soros to overthrow governments in Eastern Europe to calling for advertising boycotts to censor free speech online. This is a textbook example of U.S. regime change tactics being redirected against domestic populism and American citizens. In the 1990s, Internews partnered with the Soros Foundation to fund media organizations in post-Soviet nations, playing a pivotal role in the color revolutions of the 2000s in Serbia, Georgia, and Ukraine. During Georgia’s Rose Revolution, Internews funded and trained journalists at Rustavi-2 TV, the leading channel driving the uprising. “Media was very good at informing the public about what was going on, and it had a huge role in calling people onto the streets.” – Marc Behrendt, former Internews director for Georgia By 2003, in Ukraine, Internews had conducted 220 media training programs, trained over 2,800 journalists, and produced more than 220 television and 1,000 radio programs. It also funded Telekritika, an online outlet that played a central role in the 2004 Orange Revolution. After Brexit and Donald Trump’s election in 2016, Internews—now working with the USAID-funded World Economic Forum (WEF)—shifted its focus to pushing advertising boycotts to suppress online dissent. What was once a U.S.-funded operation to overthrow foreign regimes is now being used to silence American citizens and dismantle Trump’s populist MAGA movement. The Price Tag? USAID has funneled over $470 million in taxpayer dollars into Internews.

🚨BUKELE: TAXES CREATE THE ILLUSION YOU ARE FUNDING THE GOVERNMENT “The real problem is not the high taxes themselves, but the fact they are not even really funding the government. The government is financed by Treasury bonds - and who buys the treasury bonds, mostly the Fed - and how does the Fed buy them, by printing money. So basically, you finance the government by printing money out of thin air. If the government can print the limited amounts of money, why would they need taxes? You pay high taxes only to uphold the illusion that you are funding the government, which you are not.” Source: @nayibbukele, @BitcoinNewsCom
