Thread: Since the start of 2021, The National Science Foundation has issued 64 government grants on the science of “countering” social media “mis/disinformation,” totaling $38.8 million for scientific censorship. 42 of them were to Universities. #CISA

That pic is from a U of Washington “Disinfo Lab” presentation you can watch here to get a sense of how this censorship regime operates. They received 3 unique grants, cumulatively totaling $3.52 million.

Here is a description of one of the grants that George Washington University received worth 200K. Note the overtly political nature of it.

“PANDEMIC COMMUNICATION IN TIME OF POPULISM: This project uses several methods to study how populist politicians distorted Covid-19 pandemic health communication to encourage polarized attitudes and distrust among citizens, thus making them more vulnerable to misinformation..”

“The research studies four areas of communication: government-led pandemic communication, media policy, media coverage, and public attitudes towards the media.”

“The project makes an important contribution to research on populist communication and political polarization by bringing two fields of expertise — populist communication and public health — together.”

Populist seems to be a euphemism for Target.

“The project will also study how best to counter these populist narratives and develop more efficient and reliable communication. The focus is on four countries — Brazil, Poland, Serbia, and the US — all led by populist leaders during the pandemic.”

This last part is especially rich, in how they justify ways of understanding their political opposition using taxpayers money:

“By helping to improve the quality of health communications, this research will help to improve the health, hence living standards of US citizens.”

So remember this taxpayer funded censorship industrial complex that has been erected is for your health because according to the national science foundation, censorship raises living standards. INGSOC couldn’t have made a better piece of doublethink.

Check out FFFO who is writing extensively on the expanding censorship industrial complex (CIC)

YOU are the so called Populist they are targeting. For your health of course.
