If you’ve ever wondered if the uniparty is real, just take a look at what your GOP Senators are up to in their spare time. Take RINO Senator John Cornyn, who’s been deeply involved in a left-wing “disinformation” group that uses the old Russia, Russia, Russia nonsense to run a so-called foreign disinformation department. Elon Musk suspects it’s actually a front to control social media behind the scenes, and he’s probably right.
This group, called the Global Engagement Center, claims to work on exposing and stopping disinformation from foreign governments like Russia and China. Too bad no one’s stopping the steady stream of lies coming from our own US government, right?
The good news is that time may be up for the group. According to a new report, Cornyn’s pet project is on track to close down.
WASHINGTON—A State Department office that uses high-level U.S. intelligence to combat Russian and Chinese information operations abroad faces a possible shutdown at the end of the year, just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House.
Its fate is seen as an early sign of the willingness of the second Trump administration and its congressional allies to push back against foreign disinformation plots, which intelligence officials say went into hyperdrive during the 2024 election season, powered in part by artificial intelligence.
The office, known as the Global Engagement Center, has vocal backers including retired Army Gen. Paul Nakasone, the former head of the National Security Agency and the U.S. Cyber Command, who says it has been an important tool for stymieing foreign disinformation directed at overseas audiences. But its most acerbic critics include Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X who backed Trump during the election and is now expected to head a commission that would recommend ways to cut government bureaucracy and spending.
Musk alleged last year the center has sought to shape social-media content.
We’ve been following this story and McConnell wannabe John Cornyn’s ties to it.
These RINO globalists have absolutely nothing in common with the values of the American people; in fact, standing up for the country is the last thing they’re here to do. Ideally, we’d vote every last one of them out, but they’ve attached themselves to power like mold—establishing layers of checks and balances that keep them in place, working against us like a pack of wolves devouring everything good from within. And now, another one of these dark forces is looking to gain power—anti-Trump establishment hack John Cornyn is looking to take over where Mitch McConnell left off.
And if you thought Cornyn was just a gun-grabbing liberal in Republican clothes, you’d be wrong. Unfortunately, he’s so much more than that. Not only does he feverishly push the left’s agenda, but he’s also working behind the scenes to help run left-wing “disinformation” groups. That’s right…
The name of the group is “Global Engagement Center,” and it supposedly acts as America’s ground zero to combat foreign-backed disinformation campaigns in other countries—and yes, you guessed it, their main focus is Russia, Russia, Russia.
Now, the Global Engagement Center, which acts as America’s nerve center in combating foreign, state-backed disinformation campaigns in other countries, is itself under threat — not from foreign capitals but from within the halls of Congress.
In late December, the GEC’s congressional authorization is set to expire, potentially dismantling this specialized unit at a time when its architects argue it’s needed most.
A bipartisan pair of senators is working to extend the center’s mandate into the next decade. But they’ll need to muscle past several skeptical Republican colleagues, who have accused the center of overstepping its ambit to coordinate U.S. counterterrorism messaging to foreign audiences, alleging it has turned its gaze toward American shores to silence conservative voices.
A Democratic victory in the House in November could breathe new life into the center during a lame-duck session, however. But if Republicans continue to hold on to the lower chamber, the center is all but dead.
“[The GEC] has played an indispensable role in combating Russian and Chinese disinformation. It would unnecessarily undermine U.S. national security if we eliminated this tool,” said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who co-led the bill that helped create the center in 2016 and who is now leading the effort to save the center from extinction alongside Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).
This group is like a who’s who in Deep State politics—a veteran of the Clinton-era State Department is at the helm of this “disinformation group.” Look, we’re all for national security, but this sounds like yet another red-tape bureaucratic group aiming to turn its political guns on the American people—which seems to be the norm for these “deep state” operations. This is exactly the kind of group Trump should have Elon Musk dissolve. Their obsession with all things “Russia” only fuels the left’s hysteria, which is driving most of the lies and fake news they’re spreading.

Mitch McConnell’s wannabe replacement is part of a liberal-run ‘disinfo group’…
The truth is, Musk and Vivek—who are leading the charge to trim down our bloated US government—will likely shut down this department fast if it’s not already closed by the time Trump takes office.
Adding to the mix, Mike Pompeo, who’s been trying to weasel his way back into the Trump administration, also kicked things up a notch before he left the CIA to head to the State Department. Now, we’re not saying foreign actors don’t launch campaigns against us—of course they do, just as we do to other countries and even our own people. But in the wrong hands, a department like this could easily be weaponized against the American people, all under the convenient guise of “national security.”
We’ve seen this happen countless times under the Biden regime.

When the government says “manage public perception,” all we hear is “spread left-wing propaganda.” The bottom line is this: when a US department supposedly tasked with battling foreign bad actors and disinformation starts meddling with American speech under the banner of “protecting democracy,” red flags immediately go up.
The Global Engagement Center was one of the worst offenders in the federal government when it came to pushing the online censorship of Americans.
Big news that they might be shutting down. https://t.co/3aiYqkKIt9

This is why critics like Elon Musk believe this group is really about censoring dissent and gaining control of social media.
Big win for free speech. One of the major organs of the censorship industrial complex goes down.
No government agency should be in the business of policing speech. Nebulous terms like “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation,” really mean any speech which goes against the elite consensus in DC and Silicon Valley.
In 2022, the FTC issued a report that praised the Global Engagement Center for “defend[ing] against foreign disinformation and propaganda,” and suggested the GEC was best “positioned to advise Congress” on how to counter disinformation. But Congressional investigations revealed the GEC funded the Global Disinformation Index and NewsGuard, which led collusive ad-boycotts—possibly in violation of our antitrust laws—to censor the speech of conservative and independent media in the United States.
