LISTEN Pamela Geller on Russia Radio: US’ Bill on Info War Against Russia Has Soros’ Fingerprints All Over It

I gave a lengthy interview with Radio Sputnik World Service, Moscow.

We discussed a bipartisan initiative led by Republican Sen. Rob Portman and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy, who has authorized $160 million over two years to fight propaganda state actors through a little-known interagency office housed at the State Department called the Global Engagement Center. Bipartisan Russian sanctions legislation, proposed last month by Sens. Ben Cardin and John McCain, would expand it even further, dedicating an additional $100 million for the GEC and others to counter “fake news,” and support research on the effects of information warfare. The inter agency office, when it enters operation later this year, will mark the first centralized counter-propaganda push-back against the Russians since the 1990s.

Long after the Cold War has ended, the American Left — after ignoring, denying and downplaying the Soviet threat, and ridiculing those who called attention to it — has fastened upon Russia as its all-purpose bogeyman.

This may be because they see Putin as a genuine threat to their globalist, internationalist program. He has helped Russia recover its national pride. If the same thing happened in Europe and the U.S., all their work will have come to naught.

The endeavor to stamp out so-called fake news is funded by Soros, as is McCain himself. Clearly Soros wants to prevent a US/Russia rapprochement and cooperation on counterterror operations.

Their sanctions would be the end result of the relentless Democratic hysteria and fearmongering over Russia during the election.

US’ Bill on Info War Against Russia Has Soros’ Fingerprints All Over It

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.

Ministry of Truth: US Policymakers Embarking on Crusade of Information War Against Russia

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.

LISTEN HERE:

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.

Commenting on the matter Pamela Geller, founder, editor and publisher of The Geller Report and President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, highlighted that the US globalist establishment is taking every effort to prevent a potential détente between Washington and Moscow.

“It’s amusing to me — demusing, I should say — that long after the Cold War ended… after ignoring, denying and downplaying the Soviet threat and ridiculing those who called attention to it,” US policymakers have turned Russia into their “all-purpose bogeyman now,” Geller told Radio Sputnik.

“This maybe because they see [Russian President Vladimir] Putin as a genuine threat to their globalist internationalist program,” she pointed out.

Geller underscored that the Russian President “helped Russia recover its national pride.” She noted that if the same thing happened in Europe and in the US, all efforts of globalists will be nullified.

“This endeavor to stamp out so-called ‘fake news’ is funded by George Soros, ” Geller highlighted, “Clearly Soros want to prevent US-Russia rapprochement and cooperation on counter-terrorism operations.”

She agreed that the US billionaire could have been behind the recent anti-Trump protests in the US.

“We know that he has funded upwards of fifty groups behind these violent riots against [US President Donald] Trump,” Geller said.

US-based journalist and geopolitical analyst Gilbert Mercier shares a similar stance. In his recent interview with Sputnik Mercier pointed out that the anti-Trump protests were professionally orchestrated.

According to Mercier, American magnate Soros and his liberal counterparts could have had a hand in ongoing protest movement against Trump.

“George Soros and his Open Society Foundations, which is a network of more than 100 foundations, and still has offices in countless countries including one in Afghanistan, has his finger prints all over the pseudo spontaneous anti-Trump protests, not only in the United States, but worldwide,” he said.

But that’s half the problem, according to Geller. Soros has been also sponsoring US policymakers from Republican and Democratic parties for years.

“These sanctions against Russia are part of Democratic hysteria and fear-mongering that was used during the [US presidential] elections. Look, it would be better for us [the US] to get along with Russia,” she stressed.

However, the US scholar noted that the recent bipartisan effort aimed against so-called “fake news” is targeting not only Russia but also the newly elected American administration and President Trump.

“The ‘Fake News’ is really a new device, it’s a new media spin device [used] by the Left. It’s not against Russia per se, it’s against Trump and the Right in power,” she opined.

Geller pointed out that in addition to attacking Trump the liberal media is trying to discredit the country’s conservative media sources and independent outlets. Still, according to the US scholar Americans “don’t buy it.”

She recalled that at the same time the US mainstream press “adored” ex-president Barack Obama whom she dubbed a “massive marketing machine.”

Geller believes that the recent counter-propaganda initiative was not authorized by Trump.

“I don’t think this is a Trump initiative and he would like to make friends with Russia. He sees strategically that clearly in the Middle East we would be all better served by an alliance with Russia, when it comes to Syria, and Iran, and Iraq. Would it be possible? I don’t know, but certainly it’s a right approach,” she told Radio Sputnik.

McCain I’ve read met Islamistisis & armed’em under Boko Haram-promoter, Iran-, Fatah-, Egypt Muslims-, mosques- & worldwide Islam-funder Barack Hussein Obama.
They should get arrested.
Russia should stop the senseless, picking on Israel , instead ban Islam & Russia should support English. Many people in Russia like U.S. Hip Hop-music.

Agree absolutely. United States always stand with Israel in many ways. Russia (former USSR) in fact created and financially supported the international terrorism. Starting with a “free Palestine” Arafat’s mobs. The list is endless. Russia has been always traditionally antisemitic up to insanity. In the times of tzarizm Jews were casually killed through the “pogroms” When the whole families and even a small villages (Shtettles) were massacred by the drunk plebs inspired with a insane government antisemitism.That’s why in the beginning of the 20 Century Russian Jews exodus took a place. When later they had a few other waives of the emigration to America and Israel. I wish I can wright a book, if anybody would read it:) God Bless America!

It’s a nonsense. If Russian Jews would love the Russian government, why they would emigrate? I’m a Russian Jew, refusenik. I know the drill. American Jews have no clue about the persecution of Jews in Russia, Ukraine and all other broken peaces of the former USSR. Stop spread the BS please

If your brain concludes that the word ‘Americans’ requires you to insert an apostrophe, as if it were a contraction of some sort, how does it decide to not do so with the words ‘leaders’ and ‘documents’?

Your thought process seems to be somewhat lacking in thought…and wholly devoid of process.

Nine Lessons of Russian Propaganda

Lesson # 8. Pollute the information space.

http://smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/nine-lessons-of-russian-propaganda

One of the strangest examples of Russian disinformation is the Columbia Chemicals Plant Explosion Hoax in which it seems that either the Kremlin or a close ally orchestration a chorus of reports about an unfolding terrorist attack in the United States that never actually happened:
“It was a highly coordinated disinformation campaign, involving dozens of fake accounts that posted hundreds of tweets for hours, targeting a list of figures precisely chosen to generate maximum attention. The perpetrators didn’t just doctor screenshots from CNN; they also created fully functional clones of the websites of Louisiana TV stations and newspapers. The YouTube video of the man watching TV had been tailor-made for the project. A Wikipedia page was even created for the Columbian Chemicals disaster, which cited the fake YouTube video. As the virtual assault unfolded, it was complemented by text messages to actual residents in St. Mary Parish. It must have taken a team of programmers and content producers to pull off. And the hoax was just one in a wave of similar attacks during the second half of last year.”
Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny said about the polluting strategy in Russia:
“… the paid trolls have made it impossible for the normal Internet user to separate truth from fiction. The point is to spoil it, to create the atmosphere of hate, to make it so stinky that normal people won’t want to touch it. You have to remember the Internet population of Russia is just over 50 percent. The rest are yet to join, and when they join it’s very important what is their first impression.”
Domestically, they want to ruin the one media which they don’t control. Internationally, they want to sow confusion and paranoia.

They did in fact. Victoria Nulland (Obozo’s Sr. Adviser, his brains and dirty hands) in person delivered food for the paid “protesters” in Kiev on Maidan. They even called it “Nulland cookies”. Ukrainian “revolution” was supported and paid by obozo’s administration and probably Soros. All this thousands of “protesters” occupied Maidan squire for the month. In a cruel winter (January-February) Many of them just come for the free food, cigarettes and booze. If not ovomit’s support, all these “protesters” would be shot on the spot or squeezed by the tanks within a few hours. Follow the money.

One way to put Soros out of business permanently is for Putin’s KGB to go to work. Or, Israel’s Mossad.

There is nothing fake about annexing Crimea, parts of Georgia and entering Ukraine illegally with its forces, on the spurious excuse it is assisting pro Russia separatists. We have a lot of Russians here in Finland, is Russia going to annexe Finland also? After all it was part of the Russian Empire until 100 years ago!
We who have Russia as a next door neighbour are not so enthusiastic about Russians as you are Pamela

Let’s straight it out. Crimea has been ALWAYS RUSSIAN TERRITORY. Before Nikita Khrushev made a “gift” to Ukraine and just gave the whole peninsula to Ukraine without any doubt. In fact it was a big reason for it. The fact of the matter is that about 100+ yrs ago Russian tzar Nikolay II made the concession with US for the certain amount of money for Crimea. Close to the time Khrushev seized the power, Russia supposed to return the money to US after 100 yrs of this agreement. Being the scumbag and the shameless communist, Khrushev found how to avoid the payment. He transferred Crimea to Ukraine. Since Ukraine was not even the separate country before the Bolshevik revolution in 1917 and was mostly owned by Poland, they obviously couldn’t make any agreement with US regarding Crimea and were free from any kind of liabilities. If was a total scam from the Soviet Union in order to avoid a large payment. That’s it. So all these hysterics regarding the “Crimea occupation” is a total bullshit. I’m not trying to defend Putin’s actions, but particularly this aspect is absolutely wrong. Also just to mention the details – the population of Crimea is increadable happy to become Russian territory again in many ways.

Agree. Putin is only one who can keep this messy country up and running at this point. I’ve experienced their former “leaders” on my own skin. Since the former Russian empire has been always suppressing it’s people, they have no clue what the real liberty and freedom means. In their scenario it is an equivalent to the anarchy. We’ve seen it at the time when the Soviet Union felt apart. After 1991 putsch. Gangsters shoot each other on the streets, racket, armed robberies and the total distraction. I’m not a fan of the KGB in any form, but Putin at least has some common sense and I’m sure is not looking in any military confrontation with US. Hopefully criminally insane libertads will eventually shot up (sweet dreams) and stop bothering Donald Trump to maintain some kind of the normal relationship with Russia. The poor peace is always better when the great battle
