How Covert Agents Infiltrate the Internet to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations

The latest from Glenn Greenwald:

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.

This sort of thing must make you wonder 'Why can't these people go out and get a real job' ?

Online warfare, disrupting, deceiving, creating tension; this is the opposite of what we need as a civilization. We need a Glasnost revolution in the West of openness, a grass roots movement of non-secrecy, full disclosure of truth.

Also you need to consider the motive of those who are paying people to do this type of anti-social asymmetric warfare? What is their motive, why would they spend scarce money on ilth, what Lester Brown calls as the opposite of wealth?

I only have pity for those stupid and ignorant enough to waste their lives doing things like this.

Good ones, Newfie. That's a good example of a state media stooge relentlessly hammering away with pure nonsense to get the masses moving away from the truth. It's an old twist on the classic ancient Big Lie scam.

Advertising 101....endless repitition.

In a culture where most give the MSM the benefit of the doubt, to the point of falling for obvious propaganda narratives, one does not need agents. There will be plenty of regime defenders acting out their faith naturally. That is why the system is stable and does not need to use hamfisted tactics.
