Department of Defense (DoD) paid Thompson Reuters $9 million for Covid 19 "Large Scale Social Deception."



https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_FA865018C7886_9700_-NONE-_-NONE-

Most outlets reporting news can't afford to have a presence around the world. So they have to get a lot of their coverage of global news from a few companies that have extensive global networks of reporters, such as Reuters. So they'll get the story from Reuters and go from that. Since Reuters was getting paid to spread "large scale social deception" on the Covid-19 topic by the DoD, this social deception spread through out the news media ecosystem. If you were wondering why the news had bad information about Covid-19, it was because they were getting paid to deceive you. Here are the receipts.

So why is the military allowed to pay the news media to do large scale social deceptions on the American public? They work for us, they should be loyal and not deceive us. It's also interesting that this Covid-19 deception funding started in September, 2018 so exactly how long in advance were they planning this? The DoD has not publicly commented on the nature or objectives of the contract, and further details remain classified. Our tax dollars funded the global media response to the Covid virus, that our tax dollars paid to produce.

Now is the chance, now that you have seen the receipts to say, oh I was fooled by this deception campaign but now I know better or you can claim you were never fooled and this is all somehow "alternative information" because it wasn't on the news. Choice is yours.

I was never fooled by this large scale deception because I perceived it as bullschit from the beginning.

Congratulations to FP for perceiving this as bullsh!t, not from the beginning, but from before the beginning. The contract start date was Sept. 18, 2018, before anyone had ever heard of Covid 19. At least anyone outside the Wuhan laboratory. Covid 19 became known to part of the world outside the lab in November 2019, over a year after the contract began. Unless you're all knowing, even you would require more information to understand what this contract is really about. Exactly how do you know Reuters was getting paid to spread large scale social deception? Sounds like a great conspiracy theory. And maybe it's even true. Check the Mar a Lago boxes; maybe the classified information is in there.

Ben Hu had been getting money from USAID since 2014 doing bat coronavirus Sars COV research. Including infecting transgenic mice with humanized ACE-2 receptors. So obviously some people have heard about it back then.



The way I know Reuters was getting paid to spread large scale social deception is because it is line item billed in the report I linked above. It's what is written on the receipt as a description of the purpose of the transaction.

No it's pretty widely available online for those who bother to look. If they were trying to cover it up they'd probably at least take the initial step of deleting the entry on the government website.

Yeah well as long as you don't look at anything child porn related, like the epstein list or Hillary Clinton's frazzledrip dark web snuff film, you'll be OK.

Notice Salmo brings humor into the situation instead of admitting to his suspicions being wrong. Classic Salmo. Whenever he tries to make a funny… it means you got him.

i had noticed. That's why i dont bother with him. Anybody ever look at the back of a bottle of Lysol white. Its mentions 'it kills coronavirus' as far as i remember? The research isnt new. Been taxpayer funded for a long time.

As I’ve stated before, lots of claims made about covid, and a lot of it was made up bullschit.

Maybe, maybe not. The fact is that I don't know. I'm open minded, but that doesn't include swallowing conspiracy theories hook, line, and sinker. I do know enough to be skeptical of far right and far left information sources. I'd never heard of the info FP posted until reading his post. As far as I know, even the right wingnut media hasn't picked up on this and reported about it. I need a little more than an internet post by FP, who appears to be about as far right as one can get, basically an anarchist. That post needs more context to reach the level of "clear, cogent, and convincing."

Spoon, I'm sure that chlorine kills corona virus too, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to drink it. A lot of compounds can kill a virus, but they also kill the human while they're at it. An undesirable side effect, doncha' think?

Yeah. From both sides apparently. I'm not a biochemist nor an epidemiologist, so it won't be me who sorts it out.

I found out about it yesterday morning based on Elon Musk's X post. He currently has it stickied on his profile. I looked into it on the government website and that indeed "large scale social deception" tagged with Covid-19 was billed and funded from the DoD to Reuters.

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1889896827513868734

Trump also posted about it yesterday on Truth Social

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113996222032466903

Here is a story on Breitbart:

https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2025...cial-deception/

One on Liberty Daily:

https://thelibertydaily.com/darpa-paid-reuters-parent-company-large-scale-social/

RT did a story:

https://www.rt.com/news/612663-musk-reuters-funds-doge/

Another one on some blog:

https://patriotcommandcenter.org/profile...ocial-deception

So it's making the rounds in the right wing media.

Care to elaborate? The anti and hesitant crowds didn’t really make up anything, just called into question the mainstream BS and misinformation that was spread. There was of course the lunatics that thought the vaxxx contained 5G magnets, but only a fraction of people believed this one. I will wait for examples.

Give the guy (s) some time, as they are kinda slow on the interwebz research, so it’ll take a few hours to have your answer.

Btw, here’s a conspiracy to ponder. We believe that salmo and the flatbrim pescador (also known as the fish prince, we think, sort of) are indeed the same person. And we’re all being played.

There is proof, and the truth is out there. It’s all about the the boats...

salmo, if that's what you gathered from my statement. You should seek help for your delusion. Especially if you take it so damn serious that somebody joked about drinking bleach years ago. If you had an open mind, like you say you do, you would have taken it for the joke it is, instead of being a partisan hack. Im ready for the joke as the reply salmo.

Streamer,

No, I don't care to elaborate. We've gone over this stuff before and repetition gets us nowhere. If you think only one side expounded BS, then have at it. I'm not going to persuade you different.

Spoon,

How am I deluded in knowing that there are untold numbers of compounds that kill viruses and bacteria but also kill humans while they're at it? You're the one who mentioned Lysol. Only a limited number of compounds kill the virus without harming the person. Many of those compounds are known as vaccines.

Geez salmo, you been drinkin bleach today? Let me help. Even Lysol has mentioned coronavirus for as long as i can remember. We also know taxpayer money was used to fund gain of function research on covid. Point is salmo. Theres been some bad actors paid behind the scenes over this research. For a long time. This isn't new, if you'd look hard enough. Not about the compounds that kill covid, or whatever you said.

Spoon, on this I agree. It does look like NIH went off the rails with the research funding in Wuhan. And I thank you right wing nuts for bringing this to our attention.
