Democrats have converted an AI project that was initially funded by the department of defense to combat propaganda from ISIS and other extremists, into a tool to track down and counter Trump supporters on social media. The “Defeat Disinfo” group is being advised by retired Army General Stanley McChrystal.
The project is called “Defeat Disinfo,” a creation of entrepreneur Curtis Hougland. It was initially funded by the Pentagon’s top-secret DARPA research agency, when the goal of the technology was to identify and counter online narratives from Islamic extremists. Founded by technology entrepreneur Curtis Hougland, it is still advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who led U.S. forces in Afghanistan until 2010.
Now Democrats are using the state-funded technology to defeat Trump.
As initially reported by the Washington Post:
A new Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, is planning to deploy technology originally developed to counter Islamic State propaganda in service of a domestic political goal — to combat online efforts to promote President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The group, Defeat Disinfo, will use artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media. It will seek to intervene by identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president.
According to the Post, retired army general McChrystal stopped short of endorsing Trump’s opponent, Joe Biden, even though he is advising a digital effort to defeat the former and elect the latter.
The retired general told the Post that “his interest in the PAC is about ensuring the accuracy of information..

Democrats led by General Stanley McChrystal, with taxpayer funded A.I. from the Pentagon, are using this information weapon system to defeat President Trump in 2020.
Why is Barr allowing this?
Where is Barr?
Setting himself up to work under a DEM administration.
How are online efforts to promote President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic “disinformation”?
This clown’s approach sounds very ....Soviet.
McChrystal??
He of the joe “bite me” biden fame and the guy who made up the whole story of Pat Tillman’s death in afgahnistan???
Haha!
You are probably correct.
I forgot about that made up story of Pat Tillman’s death.
Thanks for the reminder.
Is there any part of the government democrats can’t weaponize? Kudos to the handful of Republicans who stand up to them.
Just remember the majority of Republican’s will not come out and denounce this kind of behavior publicly.
It should be obvious to all Americans, that we are under attack by the savage Marxist anti-Americans planted within our government.
It is precisely because our government does not arrest, detain, jail and hang the traitors within our midsts that we must conclude that our government does not work for us Americans, but only for the globalist big interests.... the global Marxist new world order.
Joe McCarthy was right.
it won’t work,
Styx explains why:

Fear not! These idiots haven’t yet realized we have our own News Reporters (yes ones that actually go out, get a story and then report the facts) and sources of information. All they have is propaganda, russia russia russia, Brett Kavanaugh ia a rapist, Impeachment was successful an Joe Fingers Biden.
This is like giving a “ray gun” to a blind man.
Why can’t the Pubs use the technology to do the same thing?
Far Left wing trash being all they will ever be.
Exactly
.
More names to go to the top of the New Nuremberg Trial lists for after the Constitutional Reformation takes place.
.
Unreal.
McChrystal was also famously humiliated by Obama after he gave a Rolling Stone interview. Obama recalled him to Washington from Afghanistan to personally fire him at the White House. Yet here McChrystal is playing for Team Democrat. The behavior of the military brass in the Age of Trump is mind boggling.
Joe Biden’s brain is our secret weapon.
Dems can’t win in the public arena of ideas. Cheating is their only hope.
