Since the board loves conspiracy theories....

quote:

In this shocking piece, Greenwald publishes a copy of a spy training manual used entitled: “The Art of Deception: Training for Online Covert Operations.” Greenwald writes that agencies like the NSA are “attempting to control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse, and in doing so, are compromising the integrity of the internet itself.” Greenwald writes:

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.

Trolls Used by Big Pharma to Attack Vaccine Objectors

Have you ever been on an Internet forum, blog, or Facebook Page where all of a sudden, out of nowhere, several people appear to contradict the main topic being discussed, especially if it is regarding a controversial topic like vaccines? Well it is entirely possible, and even likely, that it is not coincidence, and that it is a well-coordinated attack by “trolls”. As Greenwald reveals in his recently published article, there are definitely programs in place in government spy agencies to do just that.

This tactic of trained trolls can be used by those outside of government also, and Big Pharma seems to be one business sector that employs this tactic as well, especially targeting publishers who report on the dangers of vaccines.


Enjoy

I've long suspected that many here are paid political operatives.

Don't know if this forum drives enough traffic to actually warrant a paid troll.......but there are certainly a few that would fit the description.

Sock-puppet campaigning has been a thing for years.

And recently it became legal for the gov't to run direct propaganda on US citizens.

So 1+1=?

Maybe that's where all the PC outrage over everything is coming from.

Nope, it comes from the brainwashed. Too unorganized and grabastical to be paid trolls.

This explains TT9's daily bullshite rhetoric. I've said far too long that no one could be as stupid as that guy displays.

If I'm reading this all correctly, only people left of center can be trained government agents?

I guess.
And hopefully some of that power changes in November. It will not change much, but every little bit helps.
