CIA-developed influence strategies kept showing up in the last 18 months

There are three types of “science” -- good science, bad science, and political science. Perhaps some of the recent confusion and conflict occurs when rational, ethical, and honest people assume others use good science when, instead, dishonest and nefarious people often use bad science or political science.

During the recent COVID outbreak we have repeatedly been told to follow their “science” and trust the experts even though their science changes at a rapid pace. COVID came from bat soup. COVID may have leaked from a lab. “Classified report with early support for lab leak theory.” Wear masks. Masks are not effective. Reports and revisions; more reports and more revisions ad nauseam.

If we ignore bad science and political science, perhaps we can see how the gullible are deceived about COVID and many things associated with it. But how could so many Americans be so gullible? We know that, as Lincoln reputedly said, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” But are there tactics that allow you to fool most of the people most of the time?

What if there were a well-established body of science for brainwashing and well-established techniques to achieve predictable results? The CIA believed it was possible, when it developed Project MKUltra in the 1960s, to discover ways to brainwash people. Merely mentioning MKUltra sounds like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory but the fact is that the project did exist.

Interesting, thanks.

A quote from the article:

“Maybe if more people understand that they’re on the receiving end of very sophisticated influencing tactics, some of which the government developed, they’ll be more cynical and suspicious about the information bubble that surrounds them.”

Science follows a trail. The good/bad science doesn’t exist because as soon as it is used for an agenda and not an answer it is no longer science, it is a scam that precludes integrity. A scientist is a child searching the wonder. He/she can be neither good nor bad, just informative.

However, contemporary political science traces its roots primarily to the 19th century, when the rapid growth of the natural sciences stimulated enthusiasm for the creation of a new social science. So is it a science, or a tool created for good or bad possibilities?

Good is self evident. The definition of good is someone or something that is efficient, useful, healthy, strong, happy or skilled.

Bad is defined as of poor quality or a low standard and not such as to be hoped for or desired; unpleasant or unwelcome. Sounds like politics.

Every Freeper should read the 1928 book Propaganda by Edward Bernays (the father of modern public relations). People in the West have been subjected to a constant stream of propaganda (government and corporate) for more than a century. A pdf file of the book can be downloaded for free at https://www.voltairenet.org/IMG/pdf/Bernays_Propaganda_in_english_.pdf

CNN is the propaganda arm of the Deep State

Virtually everything they tell us is a lie

Want the truth? Believe the opposite of whatever CNN says ... especially when their so-called “fact-checkers” (LOL!!) say something is “already debunked”

I believe it’s the opposite. I believe it is the media and those behind the scene driving the democrat party. It’s those folks putting the candidates in. It’s those folks driving the narrative. And they will destroy you in a nano second when they desire.

Clearly we have been gaslighted this entire plandemic. The next stratagem looks to be aliens. What is God Himself if allowing the deep state to orchestrate this delusion…?

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Excellent article.

We know for certain that the CIA, other alphabet agencies, along with the deep state use the now corrupt MSM to get their message out. It is well established the agencies have long used the NYTimes to plant stories that other national media organizations would follow. I believe what is different is how absolutely pervasive this has now become.

At some point the CIA and the deep state conjoined with the Democrat Party/Marxists and now we basically have a runaway terror organization in this country.

That point was the election of Barack Hussein Obama.

To: Kaslin; All
The CIA/Deep State are using a DARPA funded AI system which they've used overseas to overthrow governments.

I saw a demonstration of the software given by a man who had a slight struggle trying not to sound sinister. He would catch himself and choose his phrasing as he explained how the graphic user interface identified those spreading 'misinformation' about the Covid 'vaccines', how they were targeted, and how those whom they influenced were 'watched' or tagged online for possible retraining content (they would receive tweets and recommendations to 'correct' what they'd read elsewhere).

The AI software created 'networks' of information, tracking who knew whom (as do cell phones - "All your contacts R belong to us!")

DARPA's AI software provided an image that looked like different sized paint drops and the largest drops were the people 'most effective at spreading disinformation'. It was creepy.

I think he mentioned cell phones etc. Other DARPA projects using AI harvest social media as part of their input to see how well attitudes and speech were responding to CIA injected input.

FaceBook was actually built with DARPA funds. DARPA had a program called 'LifeLog' which it created to capture the digital lives of people, but they were concerned that the public would not willingly use LifeLog to keep a diary of their lives if people knew it was owned/operated by Fed Government intelligence agencies.

So the same day DARPA ended LifeLog, FaceBook was founded. Zuckerberg didn't really create it. For management of public opinion, to lead up to the coup government now installed, they had to capture the thoughts and speech of citizens.

Having grown dependent on DARPA funded social media Twitter, FaceBook etc., they can now turn speech on and off like a spigot. That's why FaceBook has been deleting Covid-19 'vaccine' side-effects groups over night. One Covid 'vaccine' side-effect ​group Facebook deleted had 74,000 members and one had 200,000..

Weaponized intel agencies in government outsourced data collection to the public by enticing them to share their lives online.

I know I saw articles on FR indicating DARPA software designed to manipulate elections in Iran were in use for the elections.

People like Zuckerberg, Gates, @Jack serve as the face of intell capture and suppression. They never built their empires from the ground up. DARPA funds (tax dollars) did that.

 


Recall Maxine Waters bragging that Obama was 'building a database like one never seen before in history. Obama didn't build that.
