The U.S. admission followed a June 14 Reuters investigation that revealed how the Pentagon launched a secret psychological operation to discredit Chinese vaccines and other COVID aid in 2020 and 2021, at the height of the pandemic. As a result of the Reuters investigation, the Philippine Senate Foreign Relations Committee launched a hearing into the matter and sought a response from the U.S.
According to the June 25 document, Pentagon officials concluded its anti-vax campaign was “misaligned with our priorities.” It says the U.S. military told Filipino officials that operatives “ceased COVID-related messaging related to COVID-19 origins and COVID-19 vaccines in August 2021.”
... so Trump?
I imagine Biden had a lot of fires to put out once he became President in January 2021, but it would have been nice if this scheme ended sooner.
God you people drive me insane, presidents do not drive policy. Capital does. How many times do we have to tell you to stop pinning all the sins of this demonic country on one guy?
You have the understanding of a child. In fact I bet any random 9 year old could understand this better than you willfully ignorant liberals.
They only ended this small portion covered by the limited hangout because getting BACK TO WORK and killing yourself for profit meant that they had to slow down the anti-vax portion of their propaganda. The expose itself on this issue confirms that it was much larger than just this alone, the anti-mask psyops likely never stopped, and Biden gave this same company HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS MORE TO KEEP DOING THIS.
The fire isn't put out. It's burning in your balls, bone marrow, and meninges. You either have the virus fucking with you and causing chronic immune activation or are getting infected until you do.
edit: unless you stop catching it as much, which you can kinda do at any time despite the government encouraging spread
No, but I think he likes to order the military around and might give a rambling 'order' like, 'China bad. China vaccines bad. Why send good vaccines to those sh-thole countries for free?' -- and then in so many words telling the Pentagon to make them all f-off and die.
Edit: ok, I laughed, but I wanna be clear: not at you. I don't think any of it SHOULD work like that, but in my imagination, I can visualize it happening, and some of the crap that went down what with the National Weather Service agreeing with a sharpie edit to their map... I just can't exclude the idea that such craziness could have happened.
-- but I totally admit I was just riffing on a concept
DOD psyops have been deployed against China and their neighbors for decades, is all I'm saying. The presidents just step into and out of the stream of already existing behavior
yeah yeah yeah, and not just there and not just the U.S. DoD. I think we all understand that psyops are a common military tactic. We can't even be assuaged by the idea that the U.S. government isn't 'allowed' to run such campaigns on its own citizens because: why would they even worry about that when they can just ask a dark-money PAC or the media to do it for them?
This is of course true, but the massive scale of US interventionism compared to that of other countries can’t be papered over. The US has been the mob boss of the imperial core since the end of WWII.

And yet it does, often in collusion with corporate media.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump wasn’t even in the loop. The US military-intelligence-propaganda-industrial complex does shenanigans like this on the regular. The deep state is real, it’s just not anything like what far-right grifters say it is.

Please try not to immediately jump down people’s throats so I don’t have to remove comments I agree with in substance.
i'm sure he was just super busy ensuring roe v wade remained the law of the land, protecting trans rights, and successfully addressing covid

Do you think Trump even knows what The Philippines is?

That's not how any of this works
lol!

I thought that the ban on domestic psyops was lifted under Obama
