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 Sunsteins 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 Sunsteins 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 thats 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. Thats 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 GCHQs 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,

Do it. That needs visibility.
I can see persons of that type on FR already.
Some screen names come to mind......

Unfortunately what happens all too often is if someone disagrees with your viewpoint they will immediately start calling troll or disinformation. Kind of kills the ability to discuss anything at that point
But I guess you already figured out I was the one ;)

I can't tell you how many times (on other forums) I posted to other posters, 'so, how much have you sold your soul for in order to come on here and post this ridiculous drivel in support of your dear leader?' I remember specifically it was horrendous when it came to the Dems denial of problems with accounting at Freddie and Fannie. Despite actual evidence in the form of Congressional testimony, they would deny it and claim the testimony was clipped together and taken out of context.
I do remember one specific thing they all had in common; their supposed 'picture' next to their screen names. As if having a picture made them more believable as opposed to an avatar.

To trigger a 'forum slide' and 'flush' the critical post out of public view it is simply a matter of logging into each account both real and fake and then 'replying' to prepositined postings with a simple 1 or 2 line comment. This brings the unrelated postings to the top of the forum list, and the critical posting 'slides' down the front page, and quickly out of public view. Although it is difficult or impossible to censor the posting it is now lost in a sea of unrelated and unuseful postings. By this means it becomes effective to keep the readers of the forum reading unrelated and non-issue items.
Long post but will get through it. However, up front and early the above tactic is used on the RF quite often. I think you know what I mean:)

This has definitely been used effectively here.

Go for it. It will just get lost in this thread. Someone else had already posted it... but did an excerpt for some odd reason. I reposted the whole thing on that thread, with better formatting.

That long post of tactics looks like the author took it from a textbook explaining counseling techniques. Lots of using human nature psychological thinking in those methods.
