SILENCE DOGOOD EXCLUSIVE:
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT BOUGHT THE MEDIA—AND NOW WE HAVE THE RECEIPTS
By Silence Dogood
For years, Americans have suspected that the mainstream media is little more than a mouthpiece for the government. Now, thanks to newly uncovered federal spending records, we can prove it.
Taxpayer dollars—your money—were funneled directly into media outlets like Politico through backdoor “subscription services,” creating a massive, state-controlled propaganda machine.
And it gets worse.
This wasn’t just an informal relationship between the press and government. This wasn’t just a case of journalists being “cozy” with bureaucrats. This was a coordinated financial operation designed to ensure that government-approved narratives dominated the media while dissenting voices were systematically silenced.
And it all started with Barack Obama.
💰 THE MONEY TRAIL: HOW THE GOVERNMENT PAID FOR PROPAGANDA
In the past three weeks alone, one government watchdog project uncovered over $16 billion in savings from canceled federal contracts.
Among those contracts were millions of dollars spent on media “subscriptions” to Politico Pro.
🚨 Here are just some of the payments made to Politico Pro from U.S. government agencies:
• CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau): $635,375
• USDA (Department of Agriculture): $1,152,839 across multiple contracts
• DHS (Department of Homeland Security): $345,045
• HHS (Health & Human Services): Nearly $5 million across multiple contracts
• Treasury Department: Over $600,000
• EPA, DOJ, DOE, SEC, NASA, and even the Executive Office of the President also paid Politico for “news services.”
🧨 THE BIG QUESTION: WHY IS YOUR GOVERNMENT PAYING FOR CORPORATE MEDIA?
This isn’t a few hundred bucks for government employees to read the news. This is millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded contracts—being funneled into media outlets that push government-approved narratives.
It raises serious questions:
📌 Why is HHS, the agency responsible for public health, giving millions to Politico at the same time that Politico was fear-mongering COVID mandates and vaccine compliance?
📌 Why was the USDA spending millions on Politico while the media was running “ban cows to stop climate change” narratives?
📌 Why did DHS—an agency involved in domestic surveillance and censorship—pay Politico while “misinformation” crackdowns ramped up on social media?
📌 Why did the Executive Office of the President have contracts with Politico? Was this a direct White House-to-media funding pipeline?
This isn’t just media bias. This is media corruption at the highest level.
And we can now prove that the government didn’t just “influence” the media—they BOUGHT it.
🚨 HOW OBAMA LEGALIZED STATE PROPAGANDA
If you’re wondering “How was this even legal?”—look no further than Barack Obama’s 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Hidden within the NDAA was the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, which overturned a 1948 law that prevented the U.S. government from using propaganda on its own citizens.
Before 2012:
❌ The Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 made it illegal for the U.S. government to fund or distribute propaganda inside the country.
❌ Government-funded media like Voice of America could only be used internationally.
❌ Federal agencies could not pay U.S. media outlets to push narratives.
After 2012 (Obama’s NDAA):
✅ Government-funded propaganda was legalized inside the U.S.
✅ Federal agencies could now pay media outlets directly.
✅ Mainstream media suddenly became more aligned with government narratives than ever before.
At the time, critics warned that this would open the floodgates for state-controlled media in America.
And now, we have the financial records proving that’s exactly what happened.
📌 THE EVIDENCE IS UNDENIABLE
What we’re seeing isn’t just a conspiracy—it’s a fully operational, taxpayer-funded media control system.
💰 The government passed a law allowing state propaganda (Obama’s NDAA, 2012).
💰 The government funneled millions of taxpayer dollars into mainstream media outlets.
💰 Those media outlets pushed government-approved narratives while censoring dissent.
This wasn’t just “bias”—this was a state-funded takeover of the free press.
🚀 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
The system is now exposed.
📌 Congress must investigate these contracts and force full transparency on federal media funding.
📌 The Smith-Mundt Act must be reinstated to ban government-funded domestic propaganda.
📌 Taxpayer-funded media manipulation must be criminalized.
If we do nothing, this system will only grow stronger.
They started with Politico.
They paid NPR, The New York Times, CNN, and others.
They used Big Tech to amplify their voices and silence everyone else.
And they’ll do it again—unless the people wake up.
This isn’t just about stopping government-funded fake news.
This is about saving what’s left of a free and independent press.
The truth is out. Now it’s time to act.
