Obama crea un nuevo órgano de manipulación de la información
RED VOLTAIRE | 17 DE MARZO DE 2016
El presidente estadounidense Barack Obama ha decidido reemplazar el «Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications», creado en 2011, por un «Global Engagement Center». Un decreto en ese sentido fue firmado por el presidente el 14 de marzo de 2016. Aunque se trata de un decreto secreto, ya circula una copia de ese texto (ver el documento adjunto al final de esta información).
La función del nuevo órgano estadounidense consistirá en luchar contra el trabajo de reclutamiento de los grupos que Washington clasifica como terroristas. Al igual que su predecesor, estará bajo la autoridad del secretario de Estado. Encabezado por Michael D. Lumpkin (ver foto), estará «integrado», o sea bajo la administración de un consejo que reúne representantes de diversos ministerios estadounidenses y de agencias de inteligencia o de propaganda, y dispone de un presupuesto anual de 20 millones de dólares que no serán utilizados para producir mensajes sino para subvencionar, lo más discretamente posible, a blogueros y líderes de opinión cuyos mensajes sean considerados eficaces. El «Global Engagement Center» estadounidense trabajará única y exclusivamente en el extranjero.
Es importante recordar que Estados Unidos considera oficialmente como «terroristas» una serie grupos a los que sin embargo respalda de manera no oficial, así como toda organización o agrupación de resistencia contra el imperialismo. Es por eso que el nuevo centro depende del Departamento de Estado y se halla bajo la dirección de Michael D. Lumpkin, alto funcionario del Departamento de Defensa, actual asistente del secretario de Defensa a cargo de las Operaciones Especiales y Conflictos de Baja Intensidad.
