Episode description

Michael Shellenberger, journalist, author and founder of PUBLIC discusses his investigative reports on the USAID's role in censorship and political interference.

Shellenberger highlighted USAID's counter-populism efforts, including funding investigative journalism through OCCRP to undermine President Donald Trump.

He also explains the Panama Papers and the Hunter Biden laptop controversy and how the deep state funded the Russia Hoax.
