I would say not. Looks like there is no one left in the department to organize and use funds.

But what if the people that were originally hired, took all the information with them, got a Soros or Koch benefactor or even a Chinese or Russian benefactor to ramp up operations again and start working the solution directly with Twat, FB, Google YT etc etc.

That book The Center's CTO Nash Borges recommended before he left his position was called "First Break All The Rules" after all.

So what rules did this guy and his people break?

Thanks for staying on top of this. Real life is relentless today.

From its own web page:
"The GEC is currently led by Acting Coordinator Daniel Kimmage."

"Acting"? As in no full fledged coordinator was ever appointed or approved?

What I'm reading from your post is that their CTO Nash Borges thinks the place is a clusterfuck, and the staff can't manage their way out of a wet paper bag.

And "three team members" left?

Kek, they're letting this debacle die from inattention.

Analysts Are Quitting the State Department's Anti-Propaganda Team
The Global Engagement Center is struggling to keep up with its missions: countering ISIS recruitment and Russian disinformation.

The chief technology officer at the U.S. State Department's anti-propaganda center left last week, along with two other members of its analytics team, Defense One has learned. The departures raise new questions about the Global Engagement Center , the two-year-old office that remains leaderless nine months into the Trump administration.

The State Department would not say how many data analysts remain at the Center, but one former senior official described the three team members as "the whole enchilada" and added "things are bad."

The Center's CTO Nash Borges departed on Friday, leaving behind a goodbye email. "Today is my last day and in sticking with recent [science and technology] efforts to share important ideas to keep the GEC marching forward to accomplish its important mission, I thought that I would begin with a review of bureaucratic politics theory," Borges wrote. ( Defense One obtained a copy of the email.) "What follow are excerpts from A Glossary of Political Economy Terms by Dr. Paul M. Johnson of Auburn University. Any familiarities that you observe are purely coincidental ;)."

In his email, Borges does not explicitly say why he quit. (Nor did he respond to requests for comments on the record.) But he cheekily quotes Johnson's writing on bureaucracy and " bureaucratic politics " at considerable length, and suggests that GEC managers read a book subtitled "What the world's greatest managers do differently."
