FOIA Files: Garry Kasparov Resigns from Aspen Institute Commission, Compares it to Soviet Committee
Racket News ^ | MAY 23, 2024 | MATT TAIBBI

"If I'm being honest...This type of approach was common practice in the USSR."..

On April 22, 2021, the Aspen Institute — an influential civil society group that draws funding from several federal agencies and in recent years has become an odd hodge-podge of boutique-left ideas and hardcore security-state rhetoric — announced that a “Commission on Information Disorder” would be preparing a major report, one that:

Aims to identify and prioritize the most critical sources and causes of information disorder and deliver a set of short-term actions and longer-term goals to help government, the private sector, and civil society respond to this modern-day crisis of faith in key institutions.

The Institute released names from its anti-disinformation Hall of Justice. Their technical advisors were digital censorship all-stars, a group including Stanford’s Renee DiResta, Harvard’s Joan “Deplatforming Will Work” Donovan, Senate Intel Committee consultant and Johns Hopkins Russia hawk Thomas Rid, Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth, his Facebook opposite Nathaniel Gleicher, and others.

The list of Commissioners was headlined by Katie Couric, Prince Harry, and Chris Krebs, the founding director of the DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Kate Starbird of the University of Washington, a central figure in recent high-profile media features condemning congressional and journalistic investigations of anti-disinfo programs, would join as well. Thanks to a FOIA request Racket submitted to Starbird’s employers, we know world chess champion Garry Kasparov was at some point on the Commission. He would not remain on it for long:

I guess this shiws that even people who are exceptionally brilliant in some areas can have a complete lack of common sense.

“information disorder”

Another 1984 euphemism from the Ministry of Truth word factory.

I guess “orderly information” is only that approved by the ministry.

'savants' are often stereotyped as being deficient in other areas, including social skills or having disorders. Wasn't Kasperov's opponent Bobby Fischer paranoid schiophrenic?

It’s going to take a flood of epic proportions to clean out the manure accumulated in the Augean stables of myriad institutes and committees hidden away by the feds.

Here’s to hoping it comes when the fed government has to declare bankruptcy.

Garry Kasparov is late, by many years, in this wake up call about the Aspen Institute. I saw the handwriting on the wall many years ago, as I am sure did many others.

Kasparov never played Fischer. Different eras. You’re thinking of Boris Spassky.

This committee sounds pretty damn un-American. I hope the Trump admin. takes a nice long look at them.

I knew it after I posted and looked up Fischer to see if he was ever diagnosed with anything or if it was more just color for drama, and I noticed it wasn’t Kasperov that Fischer played. D’oh! Those russians all seem alike. LOL just kidding

I have no idea what the hell this “Aspen Institute” is, but as soon as I read the names in the bucket full of @ssholes who are involved in it I would know that it’s up to no damn good.

“information disorder”

Another 1984 euphemism from the Ministry of Truth word factory.

Information disorder is a global phenomenon that refers to the spread of misleading or harmful information in the digital environment.

It can include:
Misinformation: Sharing false information without intending to cause harm.

Disinformation: Sharing false information with the intent to cause harm.

Malinformation: Sharing genuine information with the intent to cause harm.

Aspen Institute made up of the same type of scum and villainy that mandated the lethal COVID jab while they themselves were exempt (or received a saline solution).

A hard correction is coming in 2025 along with a French Revolution style of cleansing.

All those Deep State Globohomo’s (looking at you Joe Scarborough and your adulterous wife) will be in front of the line awaiting their turn with the guillotine. /spit
