Rubio, recently, was Hawkish about fighting foreign impact campaigns. In 2023, a second diplomatic source with direct knowledge said, “He supported the re -ordering GEC for funding in the 2030s.” “It’s not just Russia – Iran, China, North Korea and even Cuba are disrupting in the US,” they posted in the last September. But after being confirmed as the Secretary of State, Rubio appeared to do some of the 180s. While the department will continue to compete with the “promotion of the enemy”, he wrote in a cable, the programs of any foreign department stated that “the lead or in any way American people will end opening the door for censorship.”
The state spokesperson said, “The secretary believes that the closure of GEC was a long time.” “It gave taxpayers a cost of $ 50 million per year, and the Biden administration used the money that was done for silence and censors Americans. What started years ago was exploited by partisan bureaucrats as an attempt to counter terrorist organizations.
For the first 60 days, the nominee, the Pard-Down Global Engagement Center reduced the American agency for international development and other programs, promoting the US standing abroad. But the employees there knew that it was best, a temporary migration of execution. In his federalist up-ed, Rubio wrote, “Today, we are finishing it. Whatever goes by name, GEC is dead. It will not return.”
Stories about GEC will continue, Rubio promised in a vibrant conversation with former state department official Mike Benz, who has both a well-recorded anims to foreign-help and counter-disinformation programs, both as well as a long history of promoting external conspiracy principles.
Benz asked Rubio whether this time a kind of Twitter files would be sequel for GEC. “Yes. So I think what we have to do now, and Darren [Beattie] It will join, as well, what happened like a document, ”Rubio replied.
The state secretary promised to reach another even more, “Cross-Jurisdictional” efforts to see who got “deputyforms” for disintegration or foreign promotion and whether the US government could be blamed for this. “If we somehow, with internal reviews, can create a relationship between some information, which came from a real -affected party paid to the state department, it is important,” Rubio said.
