.....General Stanley McChrystal is a certified military brass swamp creature deep in the bowels of the military-industrial complex. His specific business ventures are disturbing, even by swamp standards. According to a Fox News report, General McChrystal was involved in a venture that aimed to redeploy information warfare tools–originally designed to combat ISIS–against Trump supporters:
An anti-Trump Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that reportedly received initial funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon’s secretive research arm — transforming technology originally envisioned as a way to fight ISIS propaganda into a campaign platform to benefit Joe Biden.
…
The Washington Post first reported that the initiative, called Defeat Disinfo, will utilize “artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media,” and then attempt 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.”
Social media guru Curtis Hougland is heading up Defeat Disinfo, and he said he received the funding from DARPA when his work was “part of an effort to combat extremism overseas.”
After this article was published, the Post updated its reporting to clarify that Hougland was “using open-source technology initially incubated with funding from DARPA.” The Post originally reported: “The initiative is run by Curtis Hougland, who received initial funding for the technology from DARPA, the Pentagon’s research arm, as part of an effort to combat extremism overseas.”

“In a 2010 profile in Rolling Stone, McChrystal was quoted making fun of Biden, who was then vice president. He and one of his aides responded to a question about Biden and their remarks quickly became a major news story.
“Are you asking about Vice President Biden?” McChrystal reportedly laughed. “Who’s that?”
McChrystal’s adviser added: “Biden? Did you say: Bite Me?”
The general later apologized but was forced to resign the day after the profile was published.”
Maybe McChrystal can get a position at the US Embassy in Iraq, he should feel right at home.
This after Obama humiliated McChrstyal by ordering him to return to the White Hut in DC from Afghanistan just to fire him. President Trump’s second order of business, after firing Wray and Haspel, is a massive military budget cut. These Quisling Generals and their sponsors need to feel real pain for supporting the destruction of this country.
It really doesn’t matter to him who he betrays, as long as gets to keep his globalist gravey bowl full.
Or he could really come out of the closet
and go to
IRAN
Guess the warmongers are looking for a bigger payday than the past four years of non-engagement.
Biden is just the chump to vote bomb ‘em if the dark powers say so.
Nah... we’re told all of the time everyone in the military supports Trump and would never turn against citizens.
My plan was Pompeo closes the Embassy in Iraq and leaves him there.
He was already on the list.
But highlight his name in pink.
How many of McChrstal’s troops in Afghanistan were killed due to Obama’s restrictive ROE? We do know Iran killed 600 Americans in Iraq and Obama then sent them pallets of cash to continue their terror.
It’s genuinely frightening McChrystal and his ilk couldn’t care less about those dead All-American boys and girls.
America’s China Class Launches a New War Against Trump, Lee Smith, Tablet, 9-15-20"The source of the purposeful disinformation pouring into the American public sphere like untreated sewage is the American elite, led by its tech oligarchs, who own the platforms on which information campaigns are staged and laundered to protect their core interests—foremost among them being cheap Chinese labor and access to Chinese markets.
Then there’s Stanley McChrystal, a retired four-star Army general who is reportedly advising a Democratic PAC called “Defeat Disinfo” on how to use Pentagon software to wage information warfare operations against the Trump campaign. McChrystal resigned his post in 2010 after a magazine reporter documented how he and his aides savagely mocked then-Vice President Biden, the man his information warfare campaign is now supposed to install in the White House.
McChrystal’s beef with Trump is something more than just greed or ego. He has been openly critical of Trump for wanting to get American forces out of the Middle East. He ripped the president when Mattis left his Pentagon post because the Marine wanted to keep more troops in Syria. McChrystal was head of operations in Afghanistan and thinks Trump should stay there, too. The problem is, he’s not sure why. As he told Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, he thinks the best option is to stay in Afghanistan and “muddle along.” And now he’s getting paid by Silicon Valley, too.
Trump is right that top military brass has it out for him and probably for the reasons he states—because pointless engagements like Afghanistan advance them personally and land them lucrative seats on the boards of defense and technology companies. But the personal ambitions of Pentagon officials are finally no more relevant here than those of the FBI, DOJ, CIA, and State Department bureaucrats who played a role in the first installment of the Russiagate franchise. They’re walk-on parts, as are the various media operatives and outlets like Bob Woodward and the Atlantic, in a much larger corruption of our politics.
The central pillar of the corrupt new order is the American elite’s relationship with China. To be clear, the issue is not that former media organizations like the Post and the Atlantic are pro-China. Both publish articles about the Chinese military, intelligence services, propaganda campaigns, human rights abuses, etc.—at the same time as the Post runs a regular insert produced by the Chinese Communist Party called China Daily."
Arrogant sucker
FLIP HIM. FLIP HIM RIGHT NOW. WITH A SPATULA.
Let him walk away FREE for flipping on Comey and Strzok and Weissmann. Build the 'theory of the case', build the goddamn ladder.
Walk it up to Comey, the dude is a COWARD, he will not burn for Bobo and Biden. Start something the Left cannot FINISH.
So to get at a few high ranking officers who could just be fired or forcibly retired, you’d de-fund the military which is just beginning to recover from the 0bama years? All that while China and Russia keep building out their mils? Great thinking!
The crud who couldn’t keep his pants zipped
Ditto that.
people, the deep state is AI enhanced and guided.
And has been since late in the Bush II admin.
They are already deploying all the tools they have.
