And it was shadowy forces from all different parts of our society.

It came from certain

government agencies, it came from certain private corporations, it came from certain university centers, it came from certain international NGOs, it came from certain foreign regulatory authorities.

Well, who's coordinating all of them was one of the big questions that haunted many of the people who could feel that something was doing this, something was coordinating this, but couldn't name what it is.

And I'm here to tell you, once again, it's the National Endowment for Democracy.

That's what it was.

In 2016, when Russiagate got started, when Hillary Clinton hatched her plan to frame Trump as a Russian agent and the CIA and the FBI and the ODNI and the Obama White House went along with it and poured gasoline all over it and set up a special prosecutor as soon as Trump stepped into office in 2017.

The National Endowment for Democracy began working on the problem of Russian disinformation online, don't you know?

Trump is an illegitimate president, don't you know?

And Russian disinformation and bot farms and fake accounts are everywhere.

It's fake news spreading fake accounts.

Well, the National Endowment for Democracy using its then 40 plus year pastiche of network connections in civil society, in NGO world, in the US government, in foreign governments, in the corporate affairs worlds, and within the social media companies who they had worked with to help overthrow foreign governments like they did during the Arab Spring.

the National Endowment for Democracy together with Twitter and Facebook, same thing as they did in the Crimea revolution, same thing as they did in dozens of countries.

They were already in the business of social media influence for CIA rental riot operations.

Now they had to do the censorship counterinsurgency play, but they already had all the network connections.

And so they were first movers in space.

And because they had the backing of the US government and every embassy in the region,

And basically every aspect of the Pentagon, the CIA, the State Department or USAID that hated Trump but didn't want to get caught being duplicitous at their desk could outsource the dirty ops to a Ned Grant.

And that's what happened.

I'll give you a great example.
