The Biden administration’s State Department kept dossiers on Americans accused of acting as “vectors of disinformation.” This was a side activity of the now-defunct State Department Global Engagement Center (GEC). It secretly funded a London-based NGO that pressured advertisers to adhere to a blacklist of conservative publications, including The American Spectator, Newsmax, the Federalist, the American Conservative, One America News, the Blaze, Daily Wire, RealClearPolitics, Reason, and The New York Post. Now we know that the blacklisting went beyond publications to include prominent individuals. At least one of them, Secretary Rubio said, was a Trump official in the Cabinet room when the secretary made this announcement. “The Department of State of the United States had set up an office to monitor the social media posts and commentary of American citizens, to identify them as ‘vectors of disinformation,’” Rubio said on Wednesday. “When we know that the best way to combat disinformation is freedom of speech and transparency.” Comments are closed.
