The State Department has officially dismantled its controversial “Global Engagement Center” (GEC) — a taxpayer-funded “disinformation” agency long accused of acting as an ideological filter for the regime.
The GEC, founded under the Obama administration in 2016, was originally designed to counter “foreign propaganda” and “malign influence.” In practice, it became a domestic censorship tool — coordinating with tech companies, NGOs, and intelligence-linked entities to monitor and suppress speech that strayed from the establishment line. From conservative journalists to vaccine skeptics, from election integrity advocates to critics of globalism, those questioning official narratives often found themselves flagged, shadow-banned, or deplatformed. It worked in tandem with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the FBI, and academic programs like Stanford’s Internet Observatory — a revolving door of intelligence, academia, and tech power.
The Stanford Cyber Policy Center, on Sept. 24, hosted a secret dinner between its leaders and top censorship officials from Europe, UK, Brazil, California and Australia. The Stanford Cyber Policy Center is run by Michael McFaul. He was U.S. Ambassador to Russia under — wait for it — President Obama. Obama and McFaul have been working to make free speech the enemy of democracy, when in fact, true democracy can’t exist without free and unfettered speech. The left is committed to censorship for the long term and is looking past the current Trump term. It's got its sights set on ramping up a global censorship infrastructure that sees the current Trump years as a speed bump, not a barrier to its vision.
