๐จ EXECUTIVE BRIEFING
Between 2017 and 2021, a shadow conflict unfolded inside Americaโs 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:
- ๐ Suppressed whistleblower claims at Voice of America, RFE/RL, and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting
- ๐งโ๐ผ Pattern of retaliation against journalists and producers who exposed internal corruption
- โ๏ธ USAGM and State Department officials ignored or denied protections under the 41 U.S.C. ยง 4712 Whistleblower statute
- ๐ป Evidence manipulation: fake restructuring, โblindโ tests used to terminate dissenters
- ๐งฉ Targeted firings of foreign journalists critical of the agencyโs political entanglements
- โ Multiple abuses of authority confirmed by General Counselโฆ quietly settled or buried
๐งฌ INTELLIGENCE FINDINGS
๐๏ธ Operation “Broadcast Silence”:
๐ฅ Codename for the internal pattern of identifying whistleblowers within USAGM entities and removing them via โrestructuring.โ
๐ง Key Target Profiles:
- Tajik service journalists at RFE/RL
- Independent Cuban broadcasters
- Middle East Broadcasting Network (MBN) producers
๐งพ Mechanism:
- Initiate internal investigations after protected disclosures
- Stage blind reviews or content quality tests
- Selectively โfailโ targets
- Deny retaliation by claiming โorganizational restructuringโ
๐ธ๏ธ Cover Narrative:
โModernizationโ of services โ despite internal emails showing pretextual firing plans.
๐๏ธ SHOCKING CASE HIGHLIGHTS
๐ป 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: โClear and convincing evidenceโ shows retaliation was masked as performance review.
๐จ๐บ Office of Cuba Broadcasting
- Reporter dismissed after exposing โriggedโ 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.”
๐ 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 โrestructuringโ while filling his role days later.
๐ก STRATEGIC INTERPRETATION: PSYOPS INSIDE U.S. MEDIA DIPLOMACY?
These findings imply more than internal HR chaos. Analysts at BerndPulch.org believe the following:
- โ ๏ธ Global narrative shaping agencies are not immune to manipulation
- ๐งจ Whistleblowers are eliminated to preserve alignment with foreign policy priorities
- ๐ง Journalists in high-influence positions were often foreign-born, fluent in languages used for foreign propaganda โ and easily scapegoated
๐งฉ Red Flag: Many of the retaliated employees were the exact type of multilingual, deeply embedded cultural connectors that are valuable in psychological operations.
๐ 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 โblindโ testing policies at RFE/RL?
