==The Democracy Integrity Project==

[[The Democracy Integrity Project]] (TDIP), was a multimillion-dollar stealth organization launched in late January 2017, just days after [[President Donald Trump]]'s inauguration, that provided a daily "research" bulletin known as "TDIP Research" to recognizable Washington journalists, and congressional staff members, to keep the Russia "collusion" hoax alive.  Reports indicated "Social media titans including the founders of Facebook, Twitter and Google are indirectly funding the project through donations funneled through a Silicon Valley foundation."  The nonprofit, 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, ''Fund for a Better Future'' (FBF),<ref>Fund for a Better Future | About Us, http://fundforabetterfuture.org/</ref> donated $2,065,000 to TDIP in 2017.<ref>Georgette | Conservative Daily Post, 'Shadow Media's' Dark Money Funded $2 Million To 'Investigate' Donald Trump, https://conservativedailypost.com/shadow-medias-dark-money-funded-2-million-to-investigate-donald-trump/, March 11, 2019</ref> TDIP raised some $7 million mainly from Silicon Valley tech executives and hired computer researchers, as well as [[FusionGPS]] opposition researchers and [[Christopher Steele]], the foreign author of the discredited ''[[Steele dossier]]'', to “prove” the rumors in the dossier.<ref>https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/09/23/biden_security_adviser_sullivan_tied_to_16_clinton_plan_to_co-opt_cia_and_fbi_to_tar_trump_795498.html</ref>  In March 2019, it was reported that [[Paul Sperry]] had exposed TDIP, which is essentially a "Trump-Russia 2.0: Dossier-Tied Firm Pitching Journalists Daily news on Collusion" spreading lies and fake news to keep the "Trump-Russian collusion" false news narrative alive in main stream media reporting.<ref name=20190320PSPerry>Paul Sperry | Real Clear Investigations, Trump-Russia 2.0: Dossier-Tied Firm Pitching Journalists Daily on 'Collusion", http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3736082/posts, March 20, 2019</ref><ref>''The Federalist'', Soros-Funded PR Shop Constructing Media Echo Chamber To Push Impeachment, https://thefederalist.com/2019/03/21/soros-funded-pr-shop-constructing-media-echo-chamber-push-impeachment/, March 21, 2019</ref>  As they sought new dirt on Trump, they fed their information to [[fake news]] [[media]] outlets, leading [[Democrat]]s on the [[Senate Intelligence Committee]], namely Sens.

TDIP raised some $7 million mainly from Silicon Valley tech executives and hired computer researchers, as well as [[FusionGPS]] opposition researchers and [[Christopher Steele]], the foreign author of the discredited ''[[Steele dossier]]'', to “prove” the rumors in the dossier.<ref>https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/09/23/biden_security_adviser_sullivan_tied_to_16_clinton_plan_to_co-opt_cia_and_fbi_to_tar_trump_795498.html</ref>  In March 2019, it was reported that [[Paul Sperry]] had exposed TDIP, which is essentially a "Trump-Russia 2.0: Dossier-Tied Firm Pitching Journalists Daily news on Collusion" spreading lies and fake news to keep the "Trump-Russian collusion" false news narrative alive in main stream media reporting.<ref name=20190320PSPerry>Paul Sperry | Real Clear Investigations, Trump-Russia 2.0: Dossier-Tied Firm Pitching Journalists Daily on 'Collusion", http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3736082/posts, March 20, 2019</ref><ref>''The Federalist'', Soros-Funded PR Shop Constructing Media Echo Chamber To Push Impeachment, https://thefederalist.com/2019/03/21/soros-funded-pr-shop-constructing-media-echo-chamber-push-impeachment/, March 21, 2019</ref>  As they sought new dirt on Trump, they fed their information to [[fake news]] [[media]] outlets, leading [[Democrat]]s on the [[Senate Intelligence Committee]], namely Sens.

''RealClearInvestigations'' revealed that the organization ran an elaborate media-influence operation intent on driving and shaping daily coverage of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, including the pushing of stories regarding Trump in the national main stream media, intending to tie the president or his associates to the [[Kremlin]] and [[Vladimir Putin]].  TDIP then provided the same "research" to the [[FBI]] and congressional investigators and then informs news reporters that "authorities" are investigating those items.  Thus, mirroring a strategy federal authorities used to secure [[FISA]] warrants that were then used to spy on the Trump presidential campaign, in which, FISA applications would cite published news reports that were leaked to the news media to gain credibility.<ref name=20190320PSPerry />
