INFORMATION LIBERATION — “Influencers” on TikTok, Twitch, YouTube and Instagram are being paid $1,000 a month by state and local governments working together with the White House to shill Big Pharma’s experimental injections to their child audiences.
The potentially illegal government-funded propaganda program targeting children was detailed Sunday in a glowing article from the New York Times.
In addition to the efforts by the White House, state and local governments have begun paying “local micro influencers” — those with 5,000 to 100,000 followers — up to $1,000 a month to promote Covid-19 vaccines to their fans. https://t.co/5f0CC3x50K

To Fight Vaccine Lies, Authorities Recruit an ‘Influencer Army’
The White House has teamed up with TikTok stars, while some states are paying “local micro influencers” for pro-vaccine campaigns.

Aug. 1, 2021LOS ANGELES — Ellie Zeiler, 17, a TikTok creator with over 10 million followers, received an email in June from Village Marketing, an influencer marketing agency. It said it was reaching out on behalf of another party: the White House.
Would Ms. Zeiler, a high school senior who usually posts short fashion and lifestyle videos, be willing, the agency wondered, to participate in a White House-backed campaign encouraging her audience to get vaccinated against the coronavirus?
“There is a massive need to grow awareness within the 12-18 age range,” Village Marketing wrote to Ms. Zeiler’s business email. “We’re moving fast and have only a few available slots to fill, so please let us know ASAP.”
Ms. Zeiler quickly agreed, joining a broad, personality-driven campaign to confront an increasingly urgent challenge in the fight against the pandemic: vaccinating the youthful masses, who have the lowest inoculation rates of any eligible age group in the United States. […]
This is problem that has been long in the making, that I’ve often (long-windedly) referred to as the Influencer-Industrial Complex. It seems to have primarily got its boost in one of those key ‘Agenda 21 Years, in 2010, whether that’s a coincidence or not- I tend to doubt it is. Primary reasons I doubt it are two key factors, and their domino effects. One, the release of the Smartphone, which put Facebook, Twitter, and a ton of ‘Behavior Tracking Apps,’ Celebrity News etc on people, with ‘Notifications,’ i.e. Behavioral-reinforcement-alarms, 24/7 (good book on this- ‘Military History of the Iphone’). It also made already austerity, hour-cutting, greedy businesses become even more sadistic with putting employees on shit wages ‘On Call,’ putting them on absurd, part time hours in three different jobs just to make ends meet (where they’d be totally willing to work 40 hours, instead of 60 in shapeshifting schedules, on call, not on salary). It really drove in the ‘disciplinarian’/’Communitarian’ enforcement nature that would later come from ‘Cancel Culture,’ where people would not trust their employers to respect their own private, off-work time.
The other was the Citizen’s United Ruling, which moved a ton of lobbying money into the digital sphere, the NGO/Laundering-front sector, and created that entire bourgeoning class, under the excuse/umbrella that ‘corporations are people’ and NGOs/Think Tanks, hired and weaponized en mass on Twitter, were just ‘their speech, as people,’ protected in the first amendment. Soon after, hiring spooks in High School- a fav of Russ topics, the whole ‘actors at the scene’ false flagging scenarios, became more frequent- scouting them out, like with the ‘Sunrise Institute,’ and finding abusive, wealthy, greedy families who will hand over their children for political causes- like Greta Thunberg, who was ‘created’ online, weaponized ‘as a brand,’ in order to be able, as a child, to get you fired from your (adult) job- in turn, preventing you from feeding your own family, if you have one.

2.) Huge Expose on this, and just how much effort can go into pruning a child into becoming an ‘influencer’ for this kind of initiative- written by someone I don’t agree on a ton with, but it’s a damning critique

It is a full scale psychological psyop for sure. It comes at us from every direction. All children need to be taught what controls this world, that ((group)) and how their absolute control of the cash is the reason for all the misery on this planet. No more fake history NO more savior programs. The knowledge would help all to recognize these demonic trolls and not be played by their lies.
