Hidden Knowledge, US Politics, the History of Theosophy and the CIA

[MercurysBall2]

In a previous post I pointed out how Hubert Humphrey's son Robert Humphrey, Howard Hughe's personal advisor John H. Meier et al were connected to the CIA and Walt Disney.. https://files.catbox.moe/4tv82v.jpg ..Apparently Hubert Humphrey was influenced by Reinhold Niebuhr an American Reformed theologian, ethicist, commentator on politics and public affairs, and professor at Union Theological Seminary. Niebuhr also influenced the likes of Hillary Clinton, Hubert Humphrey, Dean Acheson, James Comey, Madeleine Albright, and John McCain, as well as Barack Obama. All over the internet Niebuhr is said to have written the Serenity Prayer which was given to WW2 soldiers on cards and distributed by The Federal Council of Churches (NCC). It turns out that the prayer came from a much earlier time and I wondered why its history would be obfusacted..

This writer thinks that the origins of the prayer were with Friedrich Christoph Oetinger, a German Lutheran theologian and theosopher. https://ourspecial.net/misc/sereneoetinger.htm



Friedrich Christoph Oetinger (2 May 1702 – 10 February 1782) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich ... h_Oetinger

Oetinger was born at Göppingen. He studied philosophy and Lutheran theology at Tübingen (1722-1728), and was impressed by the works of Jakob Böhme, and also devoted attention to Leibniz and Wolff.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakob_B%C3%B6hme

Jakob Böhme ( 24 April 1575 – 17 November 1624) was a German philosopher, Christian mystic, and Lutheran Protestant theologian. He was considered an original thinker by many of his contemporaries[3] within the Lutheran tradition, and his first book, commonly known as Aurora, caused a great scandal.

Jakob Böhme > Behmenism > Christian Theosophy

The Illumination of Jacob Boehme by Mark Jaqua http://www.ignaciodarnaude.com/espiritu ... 0Jaqua.pdf

H.P. Blavatsky in her Secret Doctrine claims that Boehme was under the tutelage of Genii or the Nirmanakayas-those beings who watch over the evolutionary progress of the Earth

Christian theosophy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_theosophy

Christian theosophy, also known as Boehmian theosophy and theosophy, refers to a range of positions within Christianity which focus on the attainment of direct, unmediated knowledge of the nature of divinity and the origin and purpose of the universe. They have been characterized as mystical philosophies.[1] Theosophy is considered part of Western esotericism, which believes that hidden knowledge or wisdom from the ancient past offers a path to enlightenment and salvation.

The foundation of Christian theosophy is usually attributed to the German philosopher Jakob Böhme. Jewish Kabbalah was also formative for Christian theosophy from Böhme on.. .. In 1875, the term "theosophy" was adopted and revived by the Theosophical Society, an esoteric organization which spawned a spiritual movement also called Theosophy.. Christian theosophy arose in Germany in the 16th century. Inspired to a considerable extent by the works of Paracelsus (1493–1541).

Böhme's work has been described as being "foundational" for Christian theosophy.[22] There were relatively few theosophers in the 17th century, but many of them were prolific.[23] Outside of Germany, there were also theosophers from Holland, England, and France. This group is represented by Jan Baptist van Helmont (1618–1699), Robert Fludd (1574–1637), John Pordage (1608–1681), Jane Leade (1623–1704), Henry More (1614–1687), Pierre Poiret (1646–1719), and Antoinette Bourignon (1616–1680).[24] Theosophers of this period often inquired into nature using a method of interpretation founded upon a specific myth or revelation, applying active imagination in order to draw forth symbolic meanings and further their pursuit of knowledge toward a complete understanding of these mysteries.[9][25] In Athanasius Kircher's Oedipus Aegyptiacus (1652), Kircher assigned the word theosophy to the metaphysics adhered to in ancient Egypt, and to Neo-Platonism, and thus he gave once again the word one of its most generally accepted meanings, that of divine metaphysics

Yale Alumni Magazine: Who wrote the Serenity Prayer? by Fred Shapiro https://yalealumnimagazine.com/articles ... yer?page=3

At least in the English- and German-speaking worlds, this is undoubtedly the most famous prayer originated in modern times, probably the only prayer ever to rival the Lord's Prayer in popularity. Billy Pilgrim hung it on his office wall in Slaughterhouse-Five; Bill Clinton ’73JD invoked it repeatedly when he campaigned for the presidency. It has given inspiration and solace to millions of people and has been very prominently employed by Alcoholics Anonymous.

Reinhold Niebuhr ’14BDiv, ’15MA, who died in 1971, was a theologian of towering importance who deeply influenced the political life of his time and courageously opposed Nazism in a period when most in his church backed U.S. neutrality.....

As searchable historical text collections continue to expand, new kinds of research on famous quotations are possible. Below are the earliest variants of the Serenity Prayer I have retrieved to date from the Newspaperarchive, ProQuest, and Google Books databases.

“We need new faith in our own highest ideals,” says Miss Mildred Pinkerton, executive secretary of the Syracuse Y.W.C.A. She calls attention to new determinations, new interests in her annual report recently submitted. Quotes the prayer—“O God, give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what cannot be helped, and insight to know the one from the other.”

—Syracuse Herald, January 16, 1936, page 22

Interesting that the earlier German sources were missed by the famous Yale librarian. So, according to Yale, Miss Mildred Pinkerton, executive secretary of the Syracuse Y.W.C.A was the earliest source of the poem/prayer, at least in the US.

National Council of Churches which distributed the Serenity Prayer in booklets during WW2 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_ ... f_Churches

Its member communions include mainline Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, African-American, evangelical, and historic peace churches. Together, they encompass more than 100,000 local congregations and 40 million adherents.[2] It began as the Federal Council of Churches in 1908, and expanded through merger with several other ecumenical organizations to become the National Council of Churches in 1950.[3] During the late 1950s and early 1960s (it is unclear from the reference how long this continued), the National Council of Churches was partially funded by the "Foundation for Youth and Student Affairs" which was a front funded by the CIA to oppose communism.

The council was the original anchor tenant in the 19-story Interchurch Center built in 1952 adjacent to Columbia University, Union Theological Seminary, and the Riverside Church in New York City. It vacated these premises in 2013 when it consolidated its offices in the building long used by its public-policy staff at 110 Maryland Avenue, NE, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C

Active Imagination https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_imagination ::

Active imagination is a conscious method of experimentation. It employs creative imagination as an organ for "perceiving outside your own mental boxes." For the first hundred years of active imagination, it was applied primarily by individuals for exploring their own sub- and unconscious; hence its value in psycho-therapeutic settings. Until the theme of the "inner child" in the 1970s, active imagination was most closely associated with C. G. Jung's experiments with himself and with clients emphasizing its therapeutic value.

The theosophy of post-Renaissance Europe embraced imaginal cognition. From Jakob Böhme to Swedenborg, active imagination played a large role in theosophical works. In this tradition, the active imagination serves as an "organ of the soul, thanks to which humanity can establish a cognitive and visionary relationship with an intermediate world"..

As developed by Carl Jung between 1913 and 1916,[3] active imagination is a meditation technique wherein the contents of one's unconscious are translated into images, narrative or personified as separate entities... Rudolf Steiner suggested cultivating imaginative consciousness through meditative contemplation of texts, objects, or images. The resulting imaginal cognition he believed to be an initial step on a path leading from rational consciousness toward ever-deeper spiritual experience.

Islamic tradition - The imaginal realm is known in Islamic philosophy as alam al-mithal, the imaginal world. According to Avicenna, the imagination mediated between, and thus unified, human reason and divine being. .. Through Averroes, mainstream Islamic philosophy lost its relationship to the active imagination. The Sufi movement, as exemplified by Ibn Arabi, continued to explore contemplative approaches to the imaginal realm

Henry Corbin considered imaginal cognition to be a "purely spiritual faculty independent of the physical organism and thus surviving it"..More recently, the imaginal concept was further developed in Communication Sciences domain. Samuel Mateus (2013) suggested a close link between imaginary, society and publicity. The "public imaginal" was named after the dynamic, symbolic and complex set of diverse and heterogeneous imaginaries that permeate societies.

Role in scientific and mathematical discovery - Hadamard (1954)[21] and Châtelet (1991)[22] suggest that imagination and conceptual experiment play central roles in mathematical creativity. Important scientific discoveries have been made through imaginative cognition, such as Kekulé's famous discovery of the carbon ring structure of benzene through a dream of a snake eating its tail.

The Last Futurist Exhibition of Paintings 0,10 was presented by the Dobychina Art Bureau at Marsovo Pole, Petrograd, from 19 December 1915 to 17 January 1916...

“The earth will be a heaven in the 21st century in comparison with what it is now.” – Madame Blavatsky

The artist and collector Katherine Dreier was a follower of Madame Blavatsky’s theosophy, along with many of the artists that she collected and exhibited, including Piet Mondrian and Vasily Kandinsky. Along with Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp, Dreier in 1920 set up the Société Anonyme, the focus of a startling exhibition now at the Dallas Museum of Art, as a way to promote modern art that held the potential for radical social and spiritual transformation similar to that espoused by theosophy.

Art, Theosophy, and Kandinsky - https://www.theosophyforward.com/theoso ... -kandinsky

The influence of Theosophy on modern culture is a well-kept secret, even from many Theosophists... Art historians sometimes assert that abstract art is nonrepresentational—depicting nothing, being just a pattern of colors and shapes. That, however, was not Kandinsky view. He believed that his art was esoteric. His abstract paintings certainly did not represent the outer or exoteric form of things; they were intended to represent in inner side of reality. Kandinsky thought such art is a way to transform oneself—both the artist who produces it and the viewer who contemplates it. In arriving at that conclusion, Kandinsky was greatly influenced by Theosophy.

He read Theosophical books, particularly those of H. P. Blavatsky and also those of Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater, whose book Thought Forms influenced his painting.

..Along with many other artists and thinkers of the time, Kandinsky believed that by the beginning of the twentieth century, western civilization had reached a crisis and was sinking under a crushing materialism. It was the artist's task to lead society out of this impasse and to open new avenues of meaning and significance. One vehicle for achieving this was Theosophy. The influence Kandinsky's occult reading had on his ideas of the coming "Epoch of the Great Spiritual" is clear in his influential manifesto Ãœber das Geistige in der Kunst, Concerning the Spiritual in Art (1912), one of the most important theoretical works in the history of modern art.

Kandinsky's occult library was considerable, but certain books in particular fuelled his speculation. Three key works were Man, Visible and Invisible (1902) by C. W. Leadbeater, Thought-Forms (1905) by Annie Besant and Leadbeater, and Rudolf Steiner's Theosophy (1904). Kandinsky was very interested in Steiner, and attended some of his lectures in Munich and Berlin. He was also a keen reader of Steiner's theosophical journal, Luzifer-Gnosis, and in his notebooks Kandinsky copied out several passages from a series of articles Steiner had written entitled "Von der Aura des Menschen" (On Man's Aura). Kandinsky was interested in a great deal of Steiner's thought [as was Einstein]. The interested reader might look to Ringbom's study or the internet for material about Kandinsky's interest in the occult, as well as informa-tion on his friend Arnold Schoenberg, who combined an interest in Steiner with one in the Swedish religious thinker Emanuel Swedenborg....

One can see such Theosophist influence as "active imagination" in a number of Netflix programs.. e.g. Behind Her Eyes.

You won't hear this from anyone else, but I've done deep autist-level research on vegan diet and the roots of it are with a group lucis trust, formerly lucifer trust and 2 occultist: CW Leadbeater who wrote vegetarianism and occultism, a 1918 book..

.... Bailey who formed the Lucifer Trust an NGO governance group that promoted occultism and theosophy used a lot of Leadbeaters work--they were very close contemporaries and influences of each other. They promoted the VEGAN diet, but it was just called vegetarian then. Lucis Trust (formerly lucifer trust) is a FOUNDING member of the UN and continues to this day AFAIK.

The whole vegan thing has some interesting links to the UK which I'll have to post about at some future date..

From

Böhme's work has been described as being "foundational" for Christian theosophy.[22] There were relatively few theosophers in the 17th century, but many of them were prolific.[23] Outside of Germany, there were also theosophers from Holland, England, and France. This group is represented by Jan Baptist van Helmont (1618–1699)...

Jan Baptist van Helmont https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Baptist_van_Helmont

Jan Baptist van Helmont (12 January 1580 – 30 December 1644) was a chemist, physiologist, and physician from the Spanish Netherlands. He worked during the years just after Paracelsus and the rise of iatrochemistry, and is sometimes considered to be "the founder of pneumatic chemistry".[4] Van Helmont is remembered today largely for his ideas on spontaneous generation, his 5-year willow tree experiment, and his introduction of the word "gas" (from the Greek word chaos) into the vocabulary of science...Van Helmont was a disciple of the mystic and alchemist, Paracelsus,..

While infused with Christian ideas, Van Helmont’s views are also deeply imbued with a philosophy inspired by medical alchemy...The term ‘medical alchemy’ must also be taken to imply a strong philosophical component. For Paracelsians, alchemy was more than a practice, or technē; it was a well-contoured ‘alchemical philosophy’, a scientia that included both a theory and a practical side. This view was fully embraced by Van Helmont, who called himself ‘philosopher by fire’. These two terms, ‘medical alchemy’ and ‘Christian thought’ are hence key elements that comprise the framework of Van Helmont’s ‘Christian Philosophy’..

Just 20 years ago I published an article in Theosophical History: A Quarterly Journal of Research on The Paracelsian Order and why we consider ourselves a theosophical organization. [1] This same article, "The Paracelsian Order is a Theosophical Organization" is available on the front page of the website of The Paracelsian Order (http://www.madregrande.org ). Establishing a Theosophical, religious organization is admittedly controversial, however, it is the express intent of the Mahatma KH and the Maha Chohan that their labors should result in a "…needed universal religious philosophy “[2] and be"…the cornerstone, the foundation of the future religion of humanity.".. We are now forming our second monastic, theosophical community in Central California.

..Our “religious” festivals are the solstice and equinoxes and we read The Four Sacred Seasons [12] and In the Temple [13] as they did at The Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society in Pt Loma, California [14] for many years at these significant turning points of the year. ..

I was doing some further research into the Paradise fires and the neighbouring town Chico came up. Apparently there are heavy occult overtones there... local occult researcher Cort Lindahl believes there are also clues to ancient mysteries—passed through the centuries by secret societies, religious orders and even a royal lineage that includes Chico founder John Bidwell—hidden in plain sight throughout the city...He further claims that several local landmarks, and even the city itself, are part of regional and international arrays of sacred sites that connect Chico with everything from Hearst Castle to The Vatican....

Beginning in 1995, Willie Dade with the help of her family and lodge hosted six annual weekend conferences with more than 60 people attending mostly from the West Coast, Europe and Arizona. Willie spent most of her life studying Theosophy with the United Lodge of Theosophists (ULT). She started lodges in places like Chico, California and Brookings, Oregon. After Willie passed away in the year 2000, many of her students got together over the phone and decided to continue the tradition by hosting conferences all around Southern California.

At the 2008 conference, at a small college near Philadelphia, our diversity increased as we welcomed a large contingent from the Theosophical Society Point Loma (Holland) and speakers from the Theosophical Society (Adyar), Free Masonry and Vedanta (a local professor). ..In 2010, the conference was hosted by our Point Loma friends at The Hague in Holland...

It’s now known that during the first two decades of the 20th century, Anthony Mann was raised in a bizarre utopian commune known as “Lomaland,” run by the Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society. It was located on 350 acres of Point Loma, a peninsula bordering San Diego Bay.

Shurlock’s bulwark against homosexuality is especially interesting when one considers that Katherine Tingley’s most aggressive weapon against her great rival in the Theosophical world, Annie Besant, head of the Adyar Society, was propaganda, widely distributed in a series of tracts, that denigrated Besant for the continued support within her organization of reputed pederast Charles Webster Leadbeater. To articulate the distinction between the American lodges and those led by Besant in the UK, Europe and India, Tingley vociferously campaigned against Besant’s harboring of an admitted homosexual. One early historian of Point Loma wrote that Tingley “doubtless hoped to establish in the public mind a distinction of Point Loma as the center of ‘pure’ Theosophy and Adyar as the disseminator of an ‘unpure’ brand.”

Naval Base Point Loma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Base_Point_Loma

Located in Point Loma, a neighborhood of San Diego, California, Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL) was established on 1 October 1998 when Navy facilities in the Point Loma area of San Diego were consolidated under Commander, Navy Region Southwest. Naval Base Point Loma consists of seven facilities: Submarine Base, Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command (previously Fleet Anti-Submarine Warfare Command), Fleet Combat Training Center Pacific, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), SPAWAR Systems Center, the Fleet Intelligence Command Pacific and Naval Consolidated Brig, Miramar.

The history of Point Loma Naval Base begins in 1795. The Spanish began building a fort at the base of Point Guijarros, opposite the tip of North Island (Coronado). This fort was built on the land which is today known as Ballast Point. Fort Guijarros was later finished in 1798 and then abandoned by the Mexicans in 1845. In 1846 United States Capt. Samuel Du Pont, entered the abandoned land where the fort once stood and raised the American flag. Shortly after in 1848 the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican–American War and the Americans claimed Point Loma.

Naval Training Center San Diego https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Tra ... _San_Diego

In the mid-1920s, the City of San Diego hoped to strengthen its economic ties with the military, and offered the Navy more than 200 acres (81 ha) of land in Point Loma at the north end of San Diego Bay, in an effort to entice it to move the Recruit Training Station from San Francisco. Then-congressman William Kettner is credited with key leadership in the effort to establish the Naval Training Center and other Navy bases in San Diego. Congress authorized the center in 1919, construction began in 1921, and the base was commissioned in 1923.

William Kettner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kettner

William Kettner set up an insurance business, and later became involved with real estate and banking. The next year the city was visited by the U.S. Navy's Great White Fleet - its first U.S. stop on a round-the-world cruise. Kettner was inspired by the visit and volunteered to organize the city's reception festivities for the fleet. He then became a member of the board of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, and served as its Director... He became friends with Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Roosevelt visited San Diego during the 1915 Panama-California Exposition and came away impressed with the area's potential as a Navy base. He helped Kettner's efforts to establish bases in San Diego as assistant Naval secretary and later as President.

Just Stumbled Upon One of the Strongest Pieces of Scientific Evidence I've Ever Seen that Ritual Abuse is Real. Of Course We all Know it is Real, But This is More Ammunition Against the Liars.. Here's a short bio of one of the authors. Interestingly, he worked as a clinical psychologist for the Air Force, where he met a RA survivor:..Randy Noblitt, formerly an Air Force clinical psychologist, is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Alliant International University in Los Angeles where he teaches ethics, adult interventions, and a fourth year advanced clinical elective, Trauma and Dissociation.


In February 2015, Alliant became a for-profit benefit corporation and part of the Arist Education System, a subsidiary of Bertelsmann..Bertelsmann is a German multinational corporation based in Gütersloh, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is one of the world's largest mass media companies

Bertelsmann https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertelsmann

During the Third Reich, the publishing house gained a prominent position with its affordable "Bertelsmann Volksausgaben" ("people's editions")...Especially in the years between 1939 and 1941, the revenues of the C. Bertelsmann Verlag skyrocketed.[20] Jewish slave laborers were not forced to work in Gütersloh, but in printing plants in Lithuania with which the C. Bertelsmann Verlag cooperated..

After the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler and World War II, the company portrayed itself to the Allied Control Authority as a Christian publisher that was part of the resistance to Nazism and allegedly persecuted. Ties to National Socialist organizations were initially denied. After it became known that erroneous, or at least inadequate, statements had been made, Heinrich Mohn stepped down as the head of the publishing house.[27] Reinhard Mohn, one of his three sons, took over the C. Bertelsmann Verlag, as Hans Heinrich Mohn had been killed in the war and Sigbert Mohn was still a prisoner of war.[28] In 1947, the Allies finally granted the company a publishing license.

In this German article on Bertelsmann the connections with the CIA are mentioned: Bertelsmann and DER SPIEGEL http://de.indymedia.org/2008/06/220177.shtml

Many people still don't know which companies all belong to the media giant Bertelsmann - above all the so-called news magazine DER SPIEGEL. The reason: Bertelsmann actively conceals the ownership structure in public. After all, Axel Springer had warned Bertelsmann owner Reinhard Mohn in good time that size also meant a danger for media companies...

[in comments :]

In the comment above, Reinhard Mohn is portrayed as a nice old man. This is remarkable because we all know the results of the work of this nice man and his wife Liz. About Reinhard MOhn, who still controls the company through the Bertelsmann Foundation, is the following in the party book Wiki :..

On April 7th, 2008, my party book referred to a forum post made by "Sterling Seagrave" as follows: "In the party book in the article“ On the history of media control ”yesterday, a“ Sterling Seagrave ”wrote in a forum post, later the CIA CEO Bill Casey was one of the key figures (in the US secret service) in the acquisition of media after World War II and a young German who was sent to Germany after the war and took over Bertelsmann was one of his protégés Who now thinks Bertelsmann is a front company of the CIA and Reinhard Mohn a CIA agent. "

There is only one very vague reference to this suspicion. So this suspicion does not have to be correct, but perhaps one or the other may check whether other actions in the story can be conclusively explained with this train of thought. There is something amazing to discover. According to his own account in his biography, Reinhard Mohn was in a prisoner-of-war camp in the USA. After the war, it was the American military administration that ensured that Reinhard Mohn was put in charge of Bertelsmann. Sterling Seagrave's forum post can be found here. The thread is about Operation Mockingbird, which the US government has since admitted and with which the CIA operated media control at home and abroad in the 1960s with a budget of more than 250 million dollars annually. The Operation Mockingbird googling times is certainly interesting in any case. Anyone who also knows the importance of propaganda for the military and knows the secret stay-behind armies of NATO may think that Bertelsmann's media is psychological warfare .

The company "booked Reagan's public appearances, research and sell his radio program, and ghost-write his syndicated column." Peter Dale Scott claims that "all this was arranged with an eye to Reagan's presidential aspirations, which Deaver and Hannaford helped organize from the outset".

In 1977 Deaver and Hannaford registered with the Justice Department as foreign agents receiving $5,000 a month from the government of Taiwan. It also received $11,000 a month from a group called Amigos del Pais (Friends of the Country) in Guatemala. The head of Amigos del Pais was Roberto Alejos Arzu. He was the principal organizer of Guatemala's "Reagan for President" organization. Arzu was a CIA asset who in 1960 allowed his plantation to be used to train Cuban exiles for the Bay of Pigs invasion....

...According to Barbara Honegger, a researcher and policy analyst with the 1980 Reagan/Bush campaign, William J. Casey and other representatives of the Reagan presidential campaign made a deal at two sets of meetings in July and August at the Ritz Hotel in Madrid with Iranians to delay the release of Americans held hostage in Iran until after the November 1980 presidential elections. Reagan’s aides promised that they would get a better deal if they waited until Carter was defeated...

William Casey was one of the key men in the acquisition of media after WW2. It was one of his proteges (a young German immigrant to the US) who was sent back to Germany after the war to take over Bertelsmann and build it up. Rupert Murdoch was very tight with Shackley, which is how he got launched on his global acquisitions and has now taken over the WSJ. Murdoch was running a failed national newspaper in Australia while Shackley was station chief in Oz. Then suddenly he becomes a US citizen literally overnight and goes on an endless buying spree. Shackley's pockets were infinitely deep.

EDELMAN LAUNCHES FIRST EVER GLOBAL OFFERING TO HELP COMPANIES FIGHT AGAINST DISINFORMATION https://www.edelman.com/news-awards/dis ... eld-launch

DISINFORMATION SHIELD UNCOVERS ILLICIT ACTORS ON THE FRINGES OF THE DARK WEB AND COMBATS DISINFORMATION, SANDER VAN DER LINDEN OF CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY AND GRAHAM BROOKIE OF ATLANTIC COUNCIL NAMED ADVISORS.. Today, Edelman announces the launch of Edelman’s Disinformation Shield, a global solution designed to help the private sector combat disinformation that could threaten their business interests.

"The International Fact Checking Network" Initiated by Facebook and spear-headed by Poynter, IFCN, is funded by Open Society

$1mil funding from Craig Newmark (craigslist), Poynter Journo School, Tampa Bay times, Politifact, Omidyar, Democracy now, Clinton Foundation, scrubbed news,

First picked up on this from https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1515874 about Tampa bay times removing a pedo article... [article: How pedophile trail led to a Largo man]

As the link above shows, an article about a pedo trail that led to a number of people domestically and internationally was available at the Tampa Bay Times...best we can tell a couple weeks ago by the OP...

Craig Newmark of Craigslist donated $1mil to Poynter Journalism School to fight "fake news" in their ethics department. News breaks December 12th same time as heavy #pizzagate stuff. Remember the coinciding dates of the Tampa By Times article going missing - sometime between 12-2 and 12-18. Remember the three articles the author put out at Washington Post: 12-6, 12-7, 12-7...

Poynter's chairman, Paul Tash, also runs Tampa Bay Times. So, Poynter gets the $, and the chairman runs both poynter and Tampa Bay Times, where the article went poof.
