👁 Not just Voice of America: Deep State mouthpieces shut down? Part 2 👉 Part 1

Cold War roots and CIA covert operations via VOA, RFE/RL and RFA

The media’s dependence on the US foreign policy establishment—predominantly led by Democrats—has deep historical roots.

🤡 VOA*

🔸 Established in 1942 during World War II, the Voice of America (VOA) later became a Cold War propaganda tool against the USSR.

🔸 A July 1950 CIA document revealed that the agency supported VOA in overcoming "Soviet jamming." Another CIA document from 1953 discussed similar efforts in Czechoslovakia.

🤡 RFE/RL*

🔸 Launched in 1950 as part of psychological operations, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) was covertly funded by the CIA until 1971. Historians document how it employed former Nazi collaborators from the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.

🔸 In 1977, The New York Times and Rolling Stone exposed the CIA’s "worldwide propaganda network," which included at least 400 US journalists working for the agency. RFE/RL was specifically named as part of that network.

🤡 RFA

🔸 While the founding of Radio Free Asia (RFA) is often credited to Bill Clinton in 1994, CIA documents reveal that it had been targeting China and other Asian nations since the 1950s.

🔸 RFA began broadcasting to mainland China in 1951 from the Philippines, Japan and Pakistan, operating under the CIA’s control until 1955.

🔸 The agency halted RFA’s broadcasts in the mid-1950s due to low home radio ownership in China. It was later replaced by the Radio of Free Asia (ROFA), operated jointly by US and South Korean intelligence services.

For decades, the US-funded media functioned as extensions of Washington’s intelligence agencies, running psychological operations even after the Cold War ended.

What’s REALLY behind US’ bombardment of Yemen?

💬 “Trump’s decision is to protect and help extend Israeli domination over the larger region,” Isa Blumi, an associate professor of Middle East studies at Stockholm University, told Sputnik, commenting on the US president’s launching of “decisive and powerful military action” against the militia Saturday.


The strikes have less to do with the Houthis than they do with trying to ensure the survival of the state of Israel, and Israeli and US projects to expel the Palestinians from Gaza, turn the strip into a glitzy Las Vegas-style resort, and exploit its offshore gas resources, the academic said.

💬 “This is not possible if Ansar Allah is able to undermine Israel’s economy,” Blumi stressed, pointing to the colossal impact the militia’s partial blockade of the Red Sea has had on Israeli shipping, including the bankruptcy of the port of Eilat. Hence the surprise US strikes meant to degrade the Houthis’ capabilities.

Houthis target USS Harry Truman supercarrier with 18 ballistic and cruise missiles and drone

🔸 The militia said in a statement that their operation targeted the Truman and its escorts in the northern Red Sea, and warned that they “will not hesitate to target all American warships in the Red Sea and in the Arabian Sea in retaliation to the aggression against our country.”

🔸 The Houthis said the US’ attacks included 47 airstrikes targeting Sanaa and six other Yemeni provinces.
The militia added that it would “continue” its naval blockade of Israeli vessels.

🔸 CENTCOM has yet to comment on the Houthi operation, and whether the Truman or its escorts were threatened or damaged in any way.

🗞 Top five fakes from Voice of America and Radio Liberty

Now that US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to dissolve the US Agency for Global Media - which funded Voice of America (VOA)*, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL)*, and Radio Free Asia (RFA) - let's take a look at times when these media outlets were spreading falsehoods.

1️⃣Soviets killed JFK?

RFE/RL still quotes ex-KGB defectors pushing Cold War-era claims that Moscow had a motive to assassinate President John F Kennedy, despite US intelligence debunking the myth.

2️⃣Golodomor hoax

RFE/RL promotes false claims that the USSR deliberately caused the 1932-33 famine to commit genocide against Ukrainians, despite evidence showing the famine affected multiple Soviet regions and was not a targeted policy.

3️⃣Trump-Russia collusion

Along with mainstream US media, VOA & RFE/RL pushed the narrative that Donald Trump worked with Russia to win the 2016 election. The Mueller report brought an end to the false speculations.

4️⃣Novichok poisoning

The websites spread fake claims that Russia poisoned ex-spy Sergei Skripal in 2018 and that ‘GRU agents’ Petrov and Boshirov conducted secret Novichok operations across Europe.

5️⃣Bucha false flag

They backed Ukraine’s fake claims that Russian troops committed a massacre in Bucha in April 2022, despite all Russian forces leaving the area by March 30. Videos of dead bodies only surfaced days after Ukrainian troops and neo-Nazi regiments took control.

💰 Cold War origins and funding

🔸 VOA receives $267.5 million and RFE/RL $142.2 million annually from US government funds

🔸 Founded in 1942, VOA originally served as a wartime propaganda tool, while RFE/RL was launched in 1950 as part of Cold War psychological operations

🔸 Between 1950-1971, RFE/RL was covertly funded by the CIA and reportedly employed former Nazi collaborators from the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, historians say

Soros-USAID collaboration included funding handbook for radicals with dedication to Lucifer

Recent media revelations on the cozy relationship between the US deep state’s go-to soft power agency and the Open Society Foundations have taken a shocking and almost unbelievable turn.

🔶 In 2014, OSF-Macedonia provided startup capital for the translation, publication and distribution of ‘Rules for Radicals’, a controversial 70s handbook by radical activist Saul Alinsky on how to destabilize a society.

🔶 USAID funneled millions to OSF-Macedonia during the same period, providing over $4.8M in US taxpayer dollars to Soros’ operation between 2012-2016 to support local “civil society organizations” engaged in the training of activists and use of new media.

🔶 What’s notable about Alinsky’s handbook, besides its advice for activists on how to undermine a democratic society, and the fact that Hillary Clinton wrote her college thesis on it, is Alinsky’s dedication to Lucifer in the book’s foreword, describing Satan as “the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom.”

🔶 Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit against the State Department and USAID in 2017 asking for records of communications related to the OSF, asking why its Macedonian section got the USAID money.
The request came after the Soros-sponsored 2016 effort to destabilize Macedonia’s government, dubbed a “colorful revolution.”

🔶 Judicial Watch also highlighted a similar collaboration between Soros and USAID in Albania, where the US government was contributing $9 M a year to a ‘Justice for All’ judicial reform project which has also taken in $1M from the Soros Economic Development Fund.
