Gerard (@GKH) ‘over there’,
“Nothing to see here, just the Reuters news agency getting paid over $9 million by the US Department of Defence for “active social engineering defense large scale social deception””: x.com
Link: The Lifeboat News: See this re: Reuters
Well spotted, G!
I went chasing a source link as it came via Pravda who cited a Canadian link on Telegram which doesn’t open for me.
Found this - official US govt I presume.
Yes, even the title and official purpose is genuine.
Definitive Contract
PIID FA865018C7886
Includes COVID-19 Spending
The start date for the contract is…2018.
Hmm. Covid? This could be an addition. Was scheduled to run till end Nov 22.
If covid was added later, what other ‘deceptions’ were the money used for.
Russiagate probably! Hunter Biden’s pyjamas, laptop, drugs or guns. Trump being the target.
Hopefully Trump will add Reuters to his Rename frenzy, and the result will become their tag.
Or others will do it for him.
Ah well - that’s the media sorted!
