In a desperate attempt to salvage its existence amid scandal after scandal exposing it as a deep state operation wearing a government cloak, the U.S. Department of State is waging war on reporters.

After Matt Taibbi and Gabe Kaminsky, among others, blew the lid on the State Department’s media blacklisting operation, the State Department suddenly shifted gears by deciding to go after Taibbi and Kaminsky directly, accusing them of spreading “misinformation.”

Taibbi, who helped lead the “Twitter Files” release, and Kaminsky, an investigative reporter at The Washington Examiner, essentially pulled the curtain back on what the State Department really is: a hive of villainy and corruption that seeks to silence any and all who would dare to come against it.

The State Department has gone so rogue in recent years that it is now blacklisting right-leaning media outlets like The New York Post, which dropped the bomb concerning the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, and Fox News, which is notorious for leaning conservative.

Rather than address the substance of the allegations made against it by Taibbi and Kaminsky, the State Department turned on these messengers and doubled down in defense of its own corruption.

“With all the grace of a bad high school debate team, they put their press people on the case, hoping to quash the fire Taibbi and Kaminsky had lit under them,” writes Christina Maas for Reclaim the Net.

“The timing, of course, is impeccable. Just as public trust in the government’s overreach into media and social media is hitting rock bottom, and the Twitter Files revelations are still making waves, the State Department thinks it can throw out the word ‘misinformation’ and watch the problem disappear.”

Silencing skeptics and detractors

The State Department is also going after members of Congress who speak out about its corruption. The very people whose job it is to keep an eye on the federal government for accountability purposes are under attack by the State Department for what they are uncovering.

During the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic” when everyone was stuck at home staying “safe,” the State Department was busy orchestrating all sorts of “disinformation” raids on the media, Congress, and anyone else who dared to speak the truth during that difficult time.

“Thanks to Taibbi’s relentless social media sleuthing, the GEC’s shadowy activities were exposed for the world to see,” Maas says, the GEC referring to so-called Global Engagement Center.

“During the early days of COVID-19, when uncertainty was at an all-time high, the GEC didn’t just sit on the sidelines – they actively pressured U.S. social media giants to suppress certain discussions, especially around the origins of the virus. The term ‘disinformation’ became a catch-all excuse to silence anyone daring to deviate from the official script.”

It apparently matters not that Taibbi personally testified before Congress to lay out all the evidence showing that the State Department is corrupt to the core. This is not simply his opinion; it is a documented and undeniable fact.

“Turns out, there was an entire formal protocol in place among major tech companies and almost every government department that has an acronym – FBI, DHS, HHS, DOD, and yes, our old friend the GEC,” Maas says.

“Even the CIA wanted in on the action. These agencies, in the name of public safety, were sending moderation requests – essentially a government-sanctioned ‘please delete this’ letter – to the tech overlords, asking them to flag, suppress, or outright remove posts and people who dared challenge the mainstream narrative.”
