So I did some digging on the bill that Q’s reddit link to a twatter link
Its the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act that got into the 2017 NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act)
The $160 million amount seems to be FOR THE ENTIRE PROGRAM not ONLY paying off people
The act has a bunch of shit not related to the propaganda/censorship aspects like “INCLUSION IN DEPARTMENT OF STATE EDUCATION AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS OF FOREIGN STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS FROM COUNTRIES AND POPULATIONS SUSCEPTIBLE TO FOREIGN MANIPULATION” and other bureaucratic blah blah blah
This is the overseer of the programs: CENTER FOR INFORMATION ANALYSIS AND RESPONSE. This is what coordinates the propaganda and censorship WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND DEFENSE
the pic1 is what the twatt Q linked to meant (doesn't say how much in total can be payed out, assuming MILLIONS, but not all $160 million)
This is how they are payed from the $160 million: “All organizations that apply to receive funds under this section must undergo a vetting process in accordance with the relevant existing regulations to ensure their bona fides, capability, and experience, and their compatibility with United States interests and objectives.”
Want to make a side by side, thought I’d share some digging
