USAID Money Used Against Moonbattery.com

Via USAID, leftist Swamp rats employ both carrot and stick to reward political correctness and punish dissent. Moonbattery.com was assigned the stick.

Politico isn’t the only liberal propaganda platform to be coercively yet furtively financed through USAID. Via Gateway Pundit:

The Columbia Journalism Review on Tuesday released a report on the importance of USAID’s donations to approved journalists at home and abroad.

According to CJR, USAID spent $268 million to fund over 6,000 approved journalists.

That was the carrot. Regarding the stick:

At the same time USAID was funding 6,000 approved journalists – USAID was also spending MILLIONS to silence populist and conservative outlets like The Gateway Pundit.

USAID money has found its way to the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which aspires to silence countermoonbat websites by cutting off their advertising. They prioritize 10 sites on their Defund Racism page (archived here); the second one listed is Moonbattery.com.

CEO Imran Ahmed is on video bragging that CCDH got Google to demonetize Gateway Pundit in 2021, costing it a fortune. Directly or indirectly, Google controls an outsize percentage not only of internet traffic but of internet advertising — as I learned when it put Moonbattery.com on its advertising blacklist the previous year.
