If you have been following Glenn since his days at Fox News, you may remember the expose he did on Obama ‘regulatory czar’ Cass Sunstein and his nudge theory. One of Sunstein’s more disturbing ideas involved government operatives infiltrating online communities in order to disseminate false information. As Glenn describes it, the goal was to “pose, infiltrate, and discredit.” Anyone who actually took Sunstein’s words at face value were mocked and labeled conspiracy theorists. But, as it turns out, it was all true.
“The English version of the NSA is the GCHQ… The English NSA has now revealed that that’s exactly what our government is doing,” Glenn said on radio this morning. “What Cass Sunstein proposed in a purely academic setting – that was his excuse – the British NSA has now verified. That’s exactly what we are doing. And so there are operatives posing as regular citizens on our web sites and in our organizations. I mean how crazy is that? Wake up, America! Wake up!”
Glenn Greewald – the former Guardian reporter who worked to publish the material exposed by Edward Snowden – released a thorough report on his new website, FirstLook.org, dissecting the data.
Greenwald reports:
Over the last several weeks, I worked with NBC News to publish a series of articles about “dirty trick” tactics used by GCHQ’s previously secret unit, JTRIG (Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group). These were based on four classified GCHQ documents presented to the NSA and the other three partners in the English-speaking “Five Eyes” alliance. Today, we at the Intercept are publishing another new JTRIG document, in full, entitled “The Art of Deception: Training for Online Covert Operations.”
By publishing these stories one by one, our NBC reporting highlighted some of the key, discrete revelations: the monitoring of YouTube and Blogger,

FYI
Its no surprise.
Propaganda minister Cass Sunstein wrote a paper on the techniques when he was at Columbia university years ago.
FUNSA
The Government listening to our private phone conversations and email and using paid shills to manipulate public opinion on the Internet? Why, only tin foil hat wearing, moonbat kooks believe that rot! The nutters have been spouting that nonsense for years.
I wonder who the FR agent is...
Yeah, like that'll ever happen. We play too nice.....
America has become one big re-education camp.
FTA: “Ultimately, Glenn had a simple message for his listeners and viewers: When you come across someone who appears to be a troll – don’t engage.
“I’m not saying this for any other reason than you have to be extraordinarily careful on what you look at. When you read, especially comments sections, it is easy to get the view that ‘wow, I’m kind of alone,’” Glenn explained. So I want you to understand that’s what’s happening… You fight fire with water… If you know the game they are playing, when you see things like that, don’t engage. Just don’t engage… You have to understand it and then fight fire with water.”
I was just looking at the comments on an article about the terrorists who became an Obamacare navigator and noticed that the big troll there was almost totally ignored. No matter how obnoxious he barely got any replies and the 2 he did were to tell him to go away.
I’ve stopped a couple of trolls recently by asking them to list what fatass did at Secretary of State that would justify her being promoted to POTUS. No answer.
Somebody on this forum has been saying that I am paranoid. Now who is it?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Hmmm, I dunno… Thompson seems like such a stand-up guy, I think the better bet is on that Robinson fellow.
