One of the many pressing stories that remains to be told from the Snowden archive is how western intelligence agencies are attempting to manipulate and control online discourse with extreme tactics of deception and reputation-destruction. It’s time to tell a chunk of that story, complete with the relevant documents.

y publishing these stories one by one, our NBC reporting highlighted some of the key, discrete revelations: the monitoring of YouTube and Blogger, the targeting of Anonymous with the very same DDoS attacks they accuse “hacktivists” of using, the use of “honey traps” (luring people into compromising situations using sex) and destructive viruses. But, here, I want to focus and elaborate on the overarching point revealed by all of these documents: namely, that these agencies are attempting to control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse, and in doing so, are compromising the integrity of the internet itself.

Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable

To see how extremist these programs are, just consider the tactics they boast of using to achieve those ends: “false flag operations” (posting material to the internet and falsely attributing it to someone else), fake victim blog posts (pretending to be a victim of the individual whose reputation they want to destroy), and posting “negative information” on various forums.

This thread should be titled "Things Anyone Not in Complete Denial About Reality Already Knew"


good thing we have dickrolls to keep gov't agents on WF in check.
 
Why hasn't this greenwald story been on anyones radar the last couple days? Could this be a prime example of social manipulation in progress?

it's interesting the top story is about the potential war with Russia. This supposed war games are all because the US is looking to make a billion dollars in loans to Ukraine (Russian pawn).

Because everyone knew it has been going on for years. In TV, newspapers and now online. Complete scam.
 
Pretty interesting slides, at least in terms of marketing. Two things that popped out at me where "constructing experience in mind of target which should be accepted so they don't realize it" (people doubt what they are told, but never doubt what they conclude on their own when they piece together what they believe are facts) and the entire gambits of deception slide (you can't control your attention, you don't know your attention is gone until it's already been captured).

Both of those I read nearly 8 years ago in a pdf called the forbidden keys of persuasion which is basically a layman's analysis and opinion on influence in the context of cults/charismatic leaders and their followers.

It's an interesting little pdf for anyone curious:

It's easy to say 'i told you so', but try to actually take in the idea that government agents are running xrumer and other spambots, along with offices full of disinfo agents.

The heat has been turned on slowly so we didn't notice.

Tell me again how government is by the people for the people. We're absolutely living 1984 and Brave New World.

Would make for an interesting project for a group of gay webmasters
 
Just gonna say this.

Am in a position to know several serious fucking whistleblowers in various industries. These range from whistleblowers on government, on military sub-contractors, and even various cults/religious groups or multi-media entities.

Some years back these folks could actually occasionally post about some of what they knew various places, and trolling was kept to a minimum.

Within just the past year one of these people had serious, multiple attempts on his/her life; another was driven underground after a concerted series of things that happened at the same time (DDOS attacks, identity theft, reputation attack online, you name it, all came down at once); another has dealt with people formerly being open to his/her information and passing it around so that others could learn from it/benefit from it to everybody suddenly going batshit crazy/paranoid/insane, like they were taken over or compromised by something or bullied into shutting up.

There IS an artificial manipulation of authentic discourse online; it goes way beyong gay webmasters getting drunk and posting tits as a distraction from complex discussion and has moved into something very obvious and scary, in terms of the only possible explanation starts to be real conspiracy theory territory.

And it fucking sucks.

That is all I have to say about this.
*edited* And all these folks were anonymous poster types so the fact that a world of hurt came down upon them means that they were tracked, monitored, profiled, etc.

The government is by the government for the government. We are nothing but a crop to them, pets, like cattle. We produce taxes, goods, we are their lifeline. When they push things like mass flu shots, its not more different than injecting a cow with a flu shot. They heard, they train, they correct and discipline. They control what we eat, where we eat, where we go, what we do, what we are taught.
 
Glenn Greenwald: the one gay peep against the agenda. Good for him.

I'm sure with their vast technology experience + technology never even known to mainstream, manning any forums or content isn't a problem including these posts for gaining info.

Question: how do you find outside of the internet this topic of conversation is being viewed or reacted to by those hearing it ?

If you go to the Sandy Hook you tube videos they're easy a fuck to spot.

Cliches, diversion, ad hominems, using a maximum number of words to make a simple point. They all sound the same & use the same writing style.

Can't the gov't pay for decent writers and not morons? They'd do a better job hiring stooges from fiverr.

But if it's the JIDF, well that would explain it (they're too cheap).
