from WND:
‘It weaponized itself in the name of partisan politics, targeted innocent people, and sought the censorship of American citizens’
The federal government’s Global Engagement Center, a division of the State Department, long has made Republicans and conservatives angry over its tax-funded censorship schemes that it launched under Democrat leadership.
Now it’s apparently going to be put out of business.
WND previously reported the center was responsible for sending money to a London group, Global Disinformation Index, which used the $100,000 American tax money, to “pressure advertisers to boycott conservative media.”

A few weeks ago, Congress issued a subpoena for information about that agenda.
Now, the Washington Examiner is reporting the State Department has told Congress it plans to end the agency entirely.
In a court filing regarding the censorship scheming, lawyers for State said the staff at the Global Engagement Center, and funding for it, will be assigned to other parts of the department.
The report noted the information came in a filing that is part of a lawsuit by conservative media outlets over the tax-funded bias they are fighting.
The center was launched in 2016, and has repeatedly faced criticism and opposition for its ideological agendas.
Especially enraging for conservatives was the fact the London group, supported by the center organized under the umbrella of the State Department, got $100,000 to make a blacklist of conservative media and then fed it to advertising companies in an attempt to hurt those organizations, the report said.
