🚨 EXECUTIVE BRIEFING
Between 2017 and 2021, a shadow conflict unfolded inside America’s publicly funded international media network. The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), once touted as a beacon of freedom, became a hotbed of whistleblower reprisals, contractor intimidation, and buried misconduct reports.
Over 70 pages of correspondence reveal:
- 📉 Suppressed whistleblower claims at Voice of America, RFE/RL, and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting
- 🧑💼 Pattern of retaliation against journalists and producers who exposed internal corruption
- ⚖️ USAGM and State Department officials ignored or denied protections under the 41 U.S.C. § 4712 Whistleblower statute
- 💻 Evidence manipulation: fake restructuring, “blind” tests used to terminate dissenters
- 🧩 Targeted firings of foreign journalists critical of the agency’s political entanglements
- ❌ Multiple abuses of authority confirmed by General Counsel… quietly settled or buried
🧬 INTELLIGENCE FINDINGS
🗂️ Operation “Broadcast Silence”:
🟥 Codename for the internal pattern of identifying whistleblowers within USAGM entities and removing them via “restructuring.”
🧠 Key Target Profiles:
- Tajik service journalists at RFE/RL
- Independent Cuban broadcasters
- Middle East Broadcasting Network (MBN) producers
🧾 Mechanism:
- Initiate internal investigations after protected disclosures
- Stage blind reviews or content quality tests
- Selectively “fail” targets
- Deny retaliation by claiming “organizational restructuring”
🕸️ Cover Narrative:
“Modernization” of services — despite internal emails showing pretextual firing plans.
🎙️ SHOCKING CASE HIGHLIGHTS
📻 RFE/RL Tajik Service
- A whistleblower was terminated after reporting favoritism and editorial bias.
- Internal restructuring tests were used to disguise targeted retaliation, while the accused Director claimed ignorance.
- OIG: “Clear and convincing evidence” shows retaliation was masked as performance review.
🇨🇺 Office of Cuba Broadcasting
- Reporter dismissed after exposing “rigged” hiring processes.
- FOIA reveals BBG (predecessor to USAGM) had full knowledge, yet followed orders to eliminate critic.
- Legal loophole used: “contractors cannot appeal if action was agency-directed.”
🛑 Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN)
- An Arab-American producer was fired after revealing his boss forced subordinates to do her college homework on USAGM time.
- Agency claimed “insubordination” and “restructuring” while filling his role days later.
📡 STRATEGIC INTERPRETATION: PSYOPS INSIDE U.S. MEDIA DIPLOMACY?
These findings imply more than internal HR chaos. Analysts at BerndPulch.org believe the following:
- ⚠️ Global narrative shaping agencies are not immune to manipulation
- 🧨 Whistleblowers are eliminated to preserve alignment with foreign policy priorities
- 🧠 Journalists in high-influence positions were often foreign-born, fluent in languages used for foreign propaganda — and easily scapegoated
🧩 Red Flag: Many of the retaliated employees were the exact type of multilingual, deeply embedded cultural connectors that are valuable in psychological operations.
📎 UNANSWERED QUESTIONS (FOR INVESTIGATORS):
- Why did the State Department allow this systemic retaliation pattern to persist under multiple CEOs?
- Were any of the whistleblowers feeding intel to foreign press or allies?
- Who ordered the video editing “blind” testing policies at RFE/RL?
