.....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.”

Do you think Mchrystal supported killing Soleimani? I doubt it.

He has to be arrogant to believe he could use disinformation to dissuade people from voting for Trump. Trump’s supporters have not left him and many have already voted. Who does he think he is influencing? I am an Independent because the GOP does not represent conservatives anymore. I would crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump because the alternative is that bad. This article may be true, but it is a lot of noise about nothing.

This ahole poses a greater threat to us than our so-called enemies.

Remember that weird “Tore” chic that was on video with Millenial Mille? This sounds like it’s up her alley.

Ya, as if the military could run a better disinformation campaign than the DNC, MSM, etc. That would be like saying the Russians had a huge affect on the election because they spent $100,000 on Facebook adds. Pfft.
