Elon Musk posted a very concerning revelation on X. It depicts the Department of Defense, through DARPA, paying Thomson Reuters Special Services for “Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED) Large Scale Social Deception (LSD).”
Sounds ominous. What makes it worse is that this was established in 2018… for Covid. Wait, what?
Here’s Musk’s post:
Reuters was paid millions of dollars by the US government for “large scale social deception”.
That is literally what it says on the purchase order! They’re a total scam.
Just wow.

He was referencing a post by Mario Nawfal:
DOD PAID REUTERS $9M FOR “SOCIAL ENGINEERING” PROGRAM
DOGE investigations reveal mysterious Defense Department payments to Reuters for “large scale social deception” project between 2018-2022.
While DARPA claims it was for cyber defense, questions swirl about why a news agency received millions for “social engineering.”
The revelation comes as other media outlets face scrutiny over federal funding.

Many of the proposed Community Notes cite references to programs coordinated by Reuters that focus on fighting “disinformation” and inappropriate social engineering. But just because they claim their motives are positive doesn’t change the fact that they’ve participated in spreading disinformation in the name of “stopping” disinformation.
This has been demonstrated clearly by the push to promote ineffective and dangerous Covid jabs. Conspicuously, the contract was for 2018 (before Covid) through 2022 (peak injection time).
Why did they have a program set up to fight Covid disinformation before Covid was known to exist? Why were they tasked with social engineering and “large scale social deception” by DARPA? What will DOGE and the Trump administration do about this?
The program may be ended but the deception is ongoing.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
