Anne Applebaum's credibility should be nuked to zero after she got caught red-handed serving as a secret "Inner Cluster Cell" member of a busted British intelligence operation set up for covert censorship & political warfare operations known as the Integrity Initiative.
These secret "cluster cells" were set up by British intelligence to have "cluster members" spanning all key positions of political influence in a region
The clusters specifically sought as recruits: journalists, politicians, military, academic & business leaders in each country
Want to know what a real "organized online influence campaign" looks like? Welp, Anne Applebaum can tell you. She helped create them for her MI6-backed, UK Foreign Office funded political dark arts op
Here's her UK cluster secretly activating a Spain cluster to carry out a hit
Cluster members, like Anne Applebaum, were told not to tell anyone about their cell unless they could be trusted.
Since it was an intelligence cut-out, they were coy: "If asked about money for funding activities of a cluster, always be firmly vague and helpfully uninformative."
The Integrity Initiative, run out of Anne Applebaum's UK Inner Cluster Cell w/ a supporting cast from British intelligence, was utterly fixated on killing the Nordstream pipeline.
In 2018 they plotted: "Start a campaign to prevent construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline"
When the Nordstream pipeline mysteriously blew up & serendipitously accomplished Anne Applebaum's Integrity Initiative high-priority goal of killing the construction, Radek Sikorski (Polish defense minister) famously thanked the US government for blowing it up:
Radek Sikorski is Anne Applebaum's husband.

BREAKING 🚨 The US State Department has just placed all 30 full-time staff at the Global Engagement Center’s remnant known as R-FIMI on leave, eliminated all 50 full-time staff positions and delivered a notice to Congress ending R-FIMI’s existence and $65 million in funding 🧵👇
This historic development today was made possible by @SecRubio and Acting Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy @DarrenJBeattie, as part of a complete restructuring of the State Department’s activities and capacities to prevent the abuses and weaponization of the past.
@SecRubio @DarrenJBeattie The development today is the State Department’s initiation of a RIF (Reduction In Force) that will permanently end the positions at GEC / R-FIMI, so there is no more reshuffling of positions or simple renamings of the office to carry out the same malign censorship efforts.
Bad Kitty has published a very important series here, with a lot of details that I think need to be cleanly organized and sense-made for a wider audience so what she’s uncovered really hits home. I’ll be going over these on tonight’s sub stream at 10pm ET
2/ Remittances are when a migrant or refugee has money or makes money here in the US, and then sends money back to friends and relatives in their home country.
So, for example, Ukraine refugees who flee then have their lives paid for here by aid programs will send cash back home
3/ And indeed, this is one of the main reasons we import masses of refugees from conflict zones or war zones as part of a Pentagon effort to fund one side of a war or paramilitary struggle. The refugees’ network back home is one we want to financially capacity-build
If it weren’t for USAID’s censorship funding and NED’s censorship operational network, there would still be a free Internet in Brazil. And Jair Bolsonaro would still be its rightfully elected President.
The “Benz breaks news that seems too crazy to be true” to “Bombshell Congressional report showing everything is true” 2 years later pipeline remains undefeated 👑
The link for the original FFO report on all this (25 pages long, 250 hyperlinks, 15 embedded videos with confessions from all key actors involved) migrated to this new link since we first posted the above thread: foundationforfreedomonline.com/dhs-censorship…
2 weeks after Tucker interviewed Pavel, the CIA-founded Radio Free Europe (run directly by the CIA for its first 20 years), ran a long piece insinuating Russia was secretly controlling Telegram & Ukraine must seize control of it instead as a military intelligence imperative.
Straight out of a Benzpill lecture, the piece begins by lauding how wonderful Telegram is for (CIA-backed) rent-a-riots in Belarus, Iran, & in Russia itself. It applauded Telegram’s 2014-2020 era bc Pavel never gave in to the foreign gov’ts the CIA was using Telegram to topple.
72% of Ukraine uses Telegram. It was only 20% 2 years ago. So now everyone, including Ukraine’s military & high-level politicians, are all there using it for war & business. If Russia has a Telegram backdoor, the CIA-founded media org argued, Ukraine is totally, totally screwed.
