Hersencontrole middels elektromagnetische frequentie: geen sprookje of complottheorie

Via een
Twitterbericht van Joost van der Zwan werd ik gewezen op een
uitgebreid artikel over de controle op hersenen middels meerdere
technieken, waaronder elektromagnetische frequentie, schrijver is
Soleilmavis Liu, zelf slachtoffer van wat je het best als geestelijke
marteling kan zien (een marteling die ook een groot aantal fysieke
klachten opwekken…..)

De
eerste natie die een dergelijke techniek ontwikkelde was
nazi-Duitsland, waar men proeven deed op concentratiekampgevangenen
uit Sachsenhausen. Doel was het fabriceren van een ‘wonderpil’ genaamd D-IX, genoemd naar het
experiment met diezelfde aanduiding…… De werking van deze ‘worderpil’ was gebaseerd op die van cocaïne en moest de prestaties van frontsoldaten verbeteren……* Na WOII gelastte VS
president Truman dat de verantwoordelijke wetenschappers niet in
handen van de Sovjet-Unie mochten vallen en haalde deze
wetenschappers naar de VS waar ze werkten aan Project Paperclip…..
Deze uiterst misdadige wetenschappers waren verantwoordelijk voor een groot aantal
doden en ontliepen zo berechting voor hun vreselijke oorlogsmisdaden en misdaden tegen de menselijkheid……

Intussen
kan men middels elektromagnetische frequentie, hersenimplantaten en
op andere manieren mensen manipuleren en zelfs voorspellen wat
slachtoffers zullen doen, ofwel men kan als het ware de hersenen
lezen en sturen……..


Ik heb
een deel van de tekst overgenomen, waaraan o.a. het deel met een groot aantal
fysieke klachten ontbreekt, dit zijn er 44 in totaal, klachten die men middels manipulatie kan
veroorzaken, je moet dan denken aan plotselinge
hoofdpijn, misselijkheid, slapeloosheid, of juist het veroorzaken van slaperigheid, extreme vermoeidheid, dan wel manipulatie van het geheugen,
verder het veroorzaken van pijnen in diverse delen van het lichaam, tot zelfs het ontwikkelen van kankers……..**

Ik moet
eerlijk zeggen dat ik eerder al eens over deze zaken had gehoord,
maar ze nooit serieus heb genomen, echter na het lezen van het
artikel zijn me de schellen bij wijze van spreken van de ogen gevallen……..

Zoals hiervoor al gemeld over de nazi’s die e.e.a. in gang hebben gezet, zal het je
duidelijk zijn dat vooral het militaire apparaat en geheime diensten zeer
geïnteresseerd zijn in deze technieken en daar geld en menskracht
voor inzetten……

Hoe ziek
en gewetenloos kan de wetenschap zijn en hoe ongelofelijk gewelddadig
kan de mens in het algemeen zijn……. Als dit op grote schaal zal worden ingezet had zelfs George Orwell hier niet van kunnen dromen in z’n ergste nachtmerrie…….

Ongelooflijk en onverdraaglijk……….

Soleimavis Liu presented this
paper at the recent E-Leader conference held by Fudan University
and Chinese American Scholars Association in Shanghai, January
5-7, 2015.

Recent years, the words
“mind control abuse and torture” and “target individual”
appears frequently online. Thousands of people in groups or
individually cries attention to the abuses and tortures with
electromagnetic mind control technologies through internet and all
other channels. The scale of the ongoing crimes is large, and hidden.
People are asking for the worldwide attention and an international
investigation of enormous human rights violations that are silently
taking place worldwide at this moment.

Abstract:

One of the twenty-first century’s
greatest violations of human rights is the proliferation of mind
control technologies and their accompanying abuse and torture.
Thousands of innocent victims across the globe have become activists
for their freedom. 

Electromagnetic mind control
technologies are weapons which use electromagnetic waves to hijack a
person’s brain and nervous system and subvert an individual’s
sense of control over their own thinking, behavior, emotions or
decision making. This article is a brief introduction to mind control
technologies, the grave situation of hidden mind control abuses and
tortures, and victims, including Soleilmavis Liu, whose work is to
expose mind control technologies and their torturous abuses, and to
urge governments worldwide to investigate and halt these egregious
violations of human rights.

Introduction

Thousands of people in groups or
individually cries attention to the abuses and tortures with
electromagnetic mind control technologies through internet and all
other channels. The scale of the ongoing crimes is large, and hidden.
People are asking for the worldwide attention and an international
investigation of enormous human rights violations that are silently
taking place worldwide at this moment. 

This article will briefly introduce
mind control technologies, current data of mind control victims,
Soleilmavis’ case summary, and their work to expose mind control
abuse and torture. Soleilmavis’ case summary and her work will
hopefully bring more public awareness to the secret crimes of mind
control abuses and tortures. 

Brief introduction of mind
control technologies

Mind control technologies are
weapons which use electronic microchip implants, nanotechnologies,
microwaves and/or electromagnetic waves to subvert an individual’s
sense of control over their own thinking, behavior, emotions or
decision making by attacking the brain and nervous system. The
development of these methods and technologies has a long history. 

  1. Nazi Wonder Drug

Nazi researchers used concentration
camp inmates to test a cocaine-based “wonder drug” they hoped
would enhance the performance of German troops. Hamburg-based
criminologist Wolf Kemper believed that D-IX pills were Hitler’s
last secret development. The so-called Experiment D-IX started in
November of the year 1944 in Sachsenhausen concentration camp. The
results of all those tests inspired their initiators to supply D-IX
drug to the entire Nazi Army. However, they failed to launch the mass
production of the substance. The allies’ victories at both fronts
in winter and spring of in 1945 resulted in the collapse of the Nazi
regime. The absurd dream of the wonder drug was crushed. [1] 

According to the “Want to Know”
information site, “After the end of World War II, German scientists
were held in a variety of detainment camps by the allies. In 1946,
President Truman authorized Project Paperclip to exploit German
scientists for American research, and to deny these intellectual
resources to the Soviet Union.” Some reports bluntly pointed out
that they were “ardent Nazis.” They were considered so vital to
the “Cold War” effort that they would be brought into the US and
Canada. Some of these experts had participated in murderous medical
experiments on human subjects at concentration camps. A 1999 report
to the Senate and the House said “between 1945 and 1955; 765
scientists, engineers, and technicians were brought to the US under
Paperclip and similar programs.” (
Bluebird
Report

  1. Mk-ultra, America’s
    Central Intelligence Agency mind control project.

The Central Intelligence
Agency’s Fact Book

states the NSC (National Security Council) and the CIA were
established under the provisions of the National Security Act of
1947. In December 1947, the NSC held its first meeting. James
Forrestal, the Secretary of Defense, pushed for the CIA to begin a
“secret war” against the Soviets. Forrestal’s initiative led to
the execution of psychological warfare operations (psy-ops) in
Europe. CIA personnel were not opposed to working with Nazi doctors
who had proven to be proficient in breaking the mind and rebuilding
it. In some cases, military bases were used to hide these covert
activities. It was decided that the communist threat was an issue
that took priority over constitutional rights. 

One of the areas to be investigated
by the CIA was Mind Control. The CIA’s human behavior control
program was chiefly motivated by perceived Soviet, Chinese, and North
Korean use of mind control techniques. Under the protection of
“national security,” many other branches of the government also
took part in the study of this area. The CIA originated its first
program in 1950 under the name BLUEBIRD, which in 1951, after Canada
and Britain had been included, was changed to ARTICHOKE. MK-Ultra
officially began in 1953. Technically it was closed in 1964, but some
of its programs remained active under MKSEARCH well into the
seventies. In 1973, tipped off about forthcoming investigations, CIA
Director Richard Helms ordered the destruction of any MK-Ultra
records. (
MC 10, 17

There is an overwhelming body of
evidence that confirms the existence of MK-Ultra. More than 250
people who claim they were the victims of “brainwashing” by
America’s Central Intelligence Agency were set to win a
multimillion dollar legal battle for compensation. Nine already had
each received $67,000 (£33,500) compensation from the spy agency,
which had admitted to setting up an operation codenamed MK-Ultra
during the Cold War. [Mike Parker,

Bourne Identity Plot (Mkultra)

  1. Implantable electronic
    chip mind control

Many researchers, using
nanotechnologies had developed implantable electronic chips that
established new nerve connections in parts of the brain that
controlled movement or even altered emotion and thought. Researchers
at the University of Washington (UW) had been working on an
implantable electronic chip that might help establish new nerve
connections in the part of the brain that controlled movement. Their
study, to be published in the November 2, 2006, edition of Nature,
showed such a device could induce brain changes in monkeys lasting
more than a week (Leila Gray,
Tiny
Electronic Chip, Interacting with the Brain, Modifies Pathways for
Controlling Movement
,
University of Washington News, October 24, 2006). [3] 

On March 18, 2008, the Central
Intelligence Agency responded in writing to a Larson Media Freedom of
Information Act request. The document disclosed that the CIA’s use
of biomedical intellectual property developed at the Alfred Mann
Foundation, Second Sight LLC, Advanced Bionics, and under Naval Space
Warfare (SPAWAR) contract #N6600106C8005, was “currently and
properly classified pursuant to an executive order in the interest of
national security,” and applied to the CIA Director’s “statutory
obligation to protect from disclosure, intelligence sources and
methods.” The technology, developed under the DARPA programs of
Tony Tether, Col. Geoffrey Ling and N.I.H programs of William
Heetderks, had been protected as a Defense “Special Access
Program1” (SAP), which was the official terminology for a “black
project.” The research had resulted in implantable devices that
were millimeter and sub-millimeter in size, could be surreptitiously
implanted (and had been fabricated in a manner that the devices could
not be detected or localized by clinical medical or radiology
techniques), and provided a shocking amount of surveillance
capability regarding a subject’s activities, which might include
visual and auditory biofeedback data.

Additionally, the devices were
capable of delivering testosterone or any other biological agent. 

  1. Voice to Skull
    Technologies

Artificial microwave voice-to-skull
transmission was successfully demonstrated by researcher Dr. Joseph
Sharp in 1973, announced at a seminar at the University of Utah in
1974, and in the journal “
American
Psychologist
” in the
March 1975 issue, the article was titled “
Microwaves
and Behavior
” by Dr. Don
Justesen (1975). [4] 

In 2002, the US Air Force Research
Laboratory patented precisely such a device: “a nonlethal weapon
which includes (1) a neuro-electromagnetic device, which broadcast
sound into the skull of persons or animals by way of pulse-modulated
microwave radiation; and (2) a silent sound device, which can
transmit ultrasound (above human hearing) into the skull of mammals.”
NOTE: The sound modulation might be voice or audio subliminal
messages. One application of voice-to-skull uses was an electronic
scarecrow to frighten birds in the vicinity of airports. [5] 

  1. Mind reading
    technologies

A team of world-leading
neuroscientists has developed a powerful technique that allowed them
to look deep inside a person’s brain, and to read their intentions
before they act. 

The research broke controversial
new ground in scientists’ ability to probe people’s minds and
eavesdrop on their thoughts, ethically to be condemned in its
technology and applications. 

Using the scanner, we could look
around the brain for this information and read out something that
from the outside, there is no way you possibly could tell is in
there. It is like shining a torch around, looking for writing on a
wall,” said John Dylan Haynes at the Max Planck Institute for Human
Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Germany in 2007, who led the study
with colleagues at University College London and Oxford University. 

In 2011, neuroscientists at the
University of California Berkeley put electrodes inside the skulls of
brain surgery patients to monitor information from their temporal
lobe, which was involved in the processing of speech and images. As
the patient listened to someone speaking, a computer program analysed
how the brain processed and reproduced the words they had heard. 

The scientists believed the
technique could also be used to read and report what they were
thinking of saying next. 

In the journal Plos
Biology
, they wrote that
it took attempts at mind reading to “a whole new level.” 

Harvard’s Buckner won the
Alzheimer’s award for reading our minds in 2011. Researchers had
shown a capability to read a subject’s mind by remotely measuring
their brain activity. This technique could even extract information
from individuals, who were unaware of themselves. [6] 

Those mind reading technologies use
EEC with decoding of neurological signals remotely with or without an
implant through satellite or through TV Mobile transmission towers.
The following data was from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, “The
sensitivity of our deep-space tracking antennas located around the
world is truly amazing. The antennas must capture Voyager information
from a signal so weak that the power striking the antenna is only 10
exponent -16 watts (1 part in 10 quadrillion). A modern-day
electronic digital watch operates at a power level 20 billion times
greater than this feeble level.” 

Scientists believed the weak radio
emission of a cubic centimeter of brain matter was within the
detectable limits of the satellite. It was technically possible for a
satellite to detect your thoughts, emotions and perceptions, and pass
that information to a computer for interpretation. [7] 

  1. Patents of Mind
    Control Technologies

Many patents had indicated the
existence of mind control technologies, such as:

USP # 6,729,337 (May 4, 2004), Sony
owned a patent “
Sony
Brain Waves Manipulation By Ultrasound”

for an “ultrasound array” that supposedly stimulated your brain
waves to simulate sensory experiences causing its users to experience
smells, tastes and even touch without external stimuli.

USP # 6,488,617 (December 3, 2002),
Nervous System Manipulation
by EM Fields from Monitors.
 

  1. More evidence to prove
    the existence of mind control technologies.

There is sufficient evidence to
prove the existence of mind control technologies. I will only give a
few as example. 

Microwave Irradiation of the
U.S. Embassy in Moscow,
review
of its history and studies to determine whether or not related health
defects were experienced by employees assigned in the period,
1953-1977, prepared at the request of Howard W. Cannon, chairman,
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, United States
Senate, published in 1979 by U.S. Government Printing Office in
Washington, disclose that since 1952, the Soviet government began
directing microwave beams at the U.S. embassy in Moscow. 

A study funded by the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency
,
has perfected the art of using electrical signals to manipulate the
color of a squid’s iridescent skin over the entire color spectrum.
The Marine Biological
Laboratory
in
Massachusetts carried out the research.[8] If they could manipulate
animals, they could manipulate humans too. 

A former KGB officer has divulged
secrets of special mind control techniques that security services in
developed nations used during and after the Cold War, a Russian
government daily said in December 2006. 

General Boris Ratnikov, who served
in the KGB department for Moscow and the Moscow Region, told
Rossiiskaya Gazeta that people in power had resorted to various
methods of manipulating individuals’ thoughts since ancient times
and that it was hardly surprising that secret services adopted the
practice when it acquired a scientific foundation in the twentieth
century. 

In the mid-eighties, about fifty
research institutes in the Soviet Union studied remote mind control
techniques backed by substantial government funding, but all such
research efforts were halted with the demise of the Soviet empire in
the early nineties. 

Ratnikov, who subsequently served
as deputy head and then senior consultant at the Federal Guard
Service from 1991 to 1997, said his department was in charge of
safeguarding top officials in post-Soviet Russia against any external
influence on their sub-conscious.

The general stated emphatically
that he and his colleagues had never manipulated the minds of the
then president, Boris Yeltsin, or of economic reformer Yegor Gaidar,
but claimed to have used mind-reading to save Russia’s first
president and the country from a war with China. 

Yeltsin had planned to visit Japan
in 1992, but Ratnikov’s department detected attempts to “program”
the president’s mind, to make him give the Kuril Islands back to
Japan. The move would have led to demands from China that it regains
its disputed territories from Russia as well, a conflict that could
have sparked a war between the two neighbors. Yeltsin, therefore, was
forced to cancel the trip.

 Another of the general’s
revelations is that senior officials in Western Europe and the United
States unwittingly provided information to his department, which was
able to read their minds thanks to Soviet-era scientific
achievements. 

In the early nineties, Ratnikov and
his colleagues “scanned” the mind of new U.S. Ambassador Robert
Strauss to see that the embassy building contained equipment to exert
psychotronic influence on Moscow residents but, according to the
general, it had been deactivated. [9] 

Research into electromagnetic
spectrums weapons had been secretly carried out in the US and Russia
since the fifties. Plans to introduce the super-weapons were
announced quietly in March 2012 by Russian Defense Minister Anatoly
Serdyukov, fulfilling a little-noticed election campaign pledge by
president-elect Putin. Mr. Serdyukov said, “The development of
weaponry based on new physics principles – Direct Energy weapons,
Geophysical weapons, Wave-energy weapons, Genetic weapons,
Psychotronic weapons, and so on – is part of the state arms
procurement programme for 2011-2020.”[10] 

There was no doubt that,
notwithstanding that governments still covered-up the development and
research of mind control technologies, the government owned advanced
technologies, which could read mankind thoughts remotely and subvert
an individual’s sense of control over their own thinking, behavior,
emotions or decision making by attacking the brain and nervous system
with electromagnetic frequencies. 

As early as 1998, scientists had
warned that the control and manipulation of a human brain was a
terrifying possibility. Lieutenant Colonel Timothy L. Thomas, US Army
(ret), published an article in the military journal
Parameters
which likened the mind to a new battlefield. He quoted a Russian army
major in relation to weapons that affected the mind, “It is
completely clear that the state, which is first to create such
weapons, will achieve incomparable superiority.” Thomas expressed
concern about “information dominance,” though he stopped short of
the moral implications. (Timothy L. Thomas,
The
Mind Has No Firewall
,
Parameters,
Spring 1998, pp. 84-92) [11] 

Mr. Peter Phillips, Lew Brown and
Bridget Thornton raised high concerns of human rights violations
implemented with electromagnetic spectrums weapons in the article “
US
Electromagnetic Weapons and Human Rights.

(Peter Phillips, Lew Brown and Bridget Thornton,
US
Electromagnetic Weapons and Human Rights
,
December 2006) [12] 

Carole Smith, a British
psychoanalyst, in recent years has been openly critical of government
use of intrusive technology on non-consenting citizens, in the
article “
Diagnosis
Psychosis in Light of Mind Invasive Technology – On the Need for New
Criteria of Diagnosis of Psychosis in the Light of Mind Invasive
Technology
.” 

The European Parliament
A4-0005/1999
Paragraph 27 called for a worldwide ban on weapons that might enable
“any form” of the “manipulation of human beings.” [13] 

USA Representative Dennis Kucinich
introduced bill
H.R. 2977
(2001), which was referred to the Committee on Science, and in
addition to the Committees on Armed Services, and International
Relations, for a period to be subsequently determined by the speaker,
in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the
jurisdiction of the committee concerned. 

H.R. 2977
(2001) preserved the cooperative, peaceful uses of space for the
benefit of all humankind by permanently prohibiting the basing of
weapons in space by the United States, and required the President to
take action to adopt and implement a world treaty banning space-based
weapons. 

In this bill, the terms “weapon”
and “weapons system” included a device capable of the following:
“directing a source of energy, including molecular or atomic
energy, subatomic particle beams, electromagnetic radiation, plasma,
or extremely low frequency (ELF) or ultralow frequency (ULF) energy
radiation, against that object,” “through the use of land-based,
sea-based, or space-based systems using radiation, electromagnetic,
psychotronic, sonic, laser, or other energies directed at individual
persons or targeted populations for the purpose of information war,
mood management, or mind control of such persons or populations.” 

The United Nations Institute for
Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) formally listed a special category of
psychotronic (psycho = “mind” & tronic= “electronic”)
mind control and other electromagnetic resonance weapons in their
2002 Media Guide to Disarmament. [14]

*  Tijdens WOI was Nederland zo ongeveer de grootste producent van cocaïne t.b.v. frontsoldaten van zowel Groot-Brittannie, Frankrijk, Rusland en andere landen en de Duitse en Oostenrijkse troepen aan de andere kant…… Ook toen werd cocaïne gebruikt om de prestaties van frontsoldaten te verbeteren. Ofwel Nederland was oorlogswinstmaker en verdiende flink aan beide partijen, de fabriek die de cocaïne produceerde stond in Amsterdam…….  

** Vandaar ook dat je altijd moet oppassen met magnetrons, ga er nooit te dichtbij staan en al helemaal niet met je hoofd, hoe ouder de magnetron hoe gevaarlijker deze is……

Met het label ‘TMS’, direct onder dit bericht, wordt bedoeld: transcranial magnetic stimulation. Het label ‘E.F. hersencontrole’ staat voor Elektromagnetische Frequentie hersencontrole. Helaas is de ruimte voor labels beperkt, bij deze mijn excuus voor de ontbrekende, heb m.i. de belangrijkste opgenomen.

Dodelijke technologie: het genetisch manipuleren van muggen

WeMove
Europe is een petitie gestart die gericht is tegen het genetisch
manipuleren van muggen, waarmee
muggen dusdanig genetisch worden aangepast dat ze onvruchtbaar worden…… WeMove Europe eist een moratorium totdat de (onafhankelijke) wetenschap ten volle begrijpt wat de risico’s van deze genetische manipulatie betekenen voor andere insecten. 

Dit moratorium daar deze manier van het bestrijden van
ziekten als malaria en knokkelkoorts, de kans vergroot op het
overslaan van steriliteit op andere soorten insecten, die bijvoorbeeld belangrijk zijn voor het
bestuiven van gewassen…..
Vergeet niet dat zelfs Einstein zich
hiermee bemoeide met te zeggen dat wanneer de bestuivers
uitsterven het gedaan zal zijn met de mensheid…..

Artikel - Malariamug mijdt huizen

Een malariamug

Niet alleen de mens zal de dupe zijn van het verdwijnen van insecten, maar ook veel vogelsoorten zullen dit niet overleven…….

Met het Coronavirus hebben we gezien hoe snel een organisme zich kan
verspreiden, het is dan ook van het allergrootste belang dat men onmiddellijk stopt op
deze letterlijk doodlopende weg!! Daarnaast moet je niet vergeten dat een groot aantal bestuivers al enorm is teruggelopen in aantal, neem de bijensterfte, of alleen al het feit dat sinds de 70er jaren wereldwijd twee derde van het aantal insecten is uitgestorven o.a. door het gebruik van Roundup, waarin het kankerverwekkende glyfosaat is verwerkt……

Dat het Penrtagon (middels DARPA) meewerkt aan deze manipulatie doet het ergste vermoeden: niet ondenkbaar dat men daar een andere manier zoekt om een VS onwelgevalllig land op de knieën te dwingen door bestuivers steriel te maken en zo oogsten te saboteren. Als het om het Pentagon of de geheime diensten van de VS gaat, hoef je nergens meer van op te kijken……

Opvallend
weer dat naast het Pentagon ook de Bill and Linda Gates Foundation zich
bezig houdt met deze genetische manipulatie….. (‘leuke combi ook’: het Pentagon en de B&M Gates foundation….)

Lees en
teken de petitie ajb, of dat nu wel of niet uit eigenbelang is, maar vooral om een
leefbare wereld na te laten voor de generaties na ons!!

Technology
to kill

David
– WeMove Europe <info@wemove.eu>

A
“gene drive” is a newly developed genetic technique of
engineering insects, animals and plants. By spreading, they can
replace their natural counterparts until they’re all eradicated.
We
call for a moratorium until we understand all its risks
.

Sign now

 

With the coronavirus,
we’ve learned how fast a new organism can spread. Imagine
genetically engineered mosquitoes designed to inherit their genes at
a very fast pace,
jeopardise the food chain, and wipe out their
natural siblings by making them infertile. [1]

According to
scientists, there is a risk the so-called “gene drive”
could even spread from mosquitoes to butterflies, killing
pollinators en masse, risking crops, plants and entire
ecosystems. [2]

Nobody pushing
this new technology has a solution that would successfully mitigate
these risks, but even so, plans are proceeding to make gene drives a
reality. 
Most
of the funding to make this happen is being provided by the US
military and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. [3]

With your help, we
can start the process to put a moratorium on it.
 Next
week, experts and government officials will come together to discuss
this new and risky technology.

Our partners have secured two seats at this private online meeting
and will represent our voices.

If thousands of us
sign the petition calling for a moratorium, what our partners say
will count much more. Add your name to ensure we don’t release
any genetically engineered organism without properly assessing its
severe risks.

The billionaire
Bill Gates is excited about the potential of this new technology.

[4] He hopes to get rid of mosquitos that pass on diseases, but until
now no scientist has been able to assess the risk. [5] We don’t want
to solve one problem only to create another bigger one. [6]

Imagine we
eradicate one species of mosquitoes,
but what happens to frogs,
birds and fish feeding on mosquitoes and their eggs? How will the
behaviour of other animals change when mosquitoes disappear? Deer may
not hide in the mountains to protect themselves against their bites,
instead staying in valleys and feeding differently.

The biggest
imaginable risk is the collapse of whole ecosystems happening with
the release of even a handful of gene drive mosquitoes.
With what
we know about gene drives now, their effects cannot be predicted,
stopped, or reversed. We want to support the great system that is
nature and understand it before we mess with it. A moratorium will
give us the time to work out what we need to do next to protect
nature and life.

The upcoming
meeting of experts is to inform EU and global decision makers about
the risk
s.
This is the moment we need to be heard.
Unfortunately,
we don’t know yet who will participate and we cannot address them
directly, but only two of us will join the meeting – and we need them
to be powerful.

WaPo waarschuwt voor Russische digitale controle over de hersenen van VS burgers

De
WashingtonPost (WaPo) waarschuwt dat de VS de informatie oorlog
verliest van de Russen, sterker nog: Rusland zou de hersenen van VS
burgers al digitaal manipuleren…… David Ignatius is een fervent Rusland hater in het
geschreven woord, een promotor van de Rusland hysterie die al een
aantal jaren aanhoudt in de VS (‘Russiagate’), maar waarvoor geen
bewijs werd gevonden, anders dan een aantal geplaatste advertenties tegen een bedrag van 10.000 dollar, terwijl er miljarden worden uitgegeven aan deze verkiezingen…..* Deze Ignatius stelt in een artikel genaamd ‘Why America is
losing the information war to Russia’ dat de VS de
informatie oorlog verliest van Rusland….. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
ha! 

De VS
voert al decennia lang een informatie oorlog, zelfs tegen haar
bevriende naties, zonder enige scrupules werd zelfs de telefoon van
Angela Merkel afgeluisterd en reken maar dat zij niet het enige
staatshoofd in de EU is, die werd (en wordt) afgeluisterd en gehackt
door de VS….. Middels desinformatie, andere manipulaties als het pompen van geld in een bepaalde campagne beïnvloedt de VS zelfs verkiezingen elders….. Als deze manipulatie niet lukt organiseert de CIA een opstand en als die niet resulteert in de afzetting van de niet gewenste regering kan de VS een economische oorlog voeren, terreur waardoor de bevolking ontevreden wordt en een andere regering zal eisen (in Venezuela heeft dit al aan meer dan 40.000 mensen het leven gekost…)…. Als dat voorgaande dan nog niet lukt is daar altijd nog de mogelijkheid een illegale oorlog te beginnen…..

Kortom:
de wereld zou gewaarschuwd moeten worden voor VS internet
terreur……

Ingnatius
kan overigens gerust zijn daar het Pentagon al een programma heeft ontwikkeld om manipulatie van de tere, breekbare VS hersentjes tegen te gaan,
zo zal het Pentagon ingrijpen als er desinformatie op het net verschijnt….. Ofwel informatie die
door het Pentagon wordt weggezet als desinformatie, dus als met die
informatie de burgers wakker kunnen worden geschut en waar deze burgers de smerige
manipulaties (middels desinformatie en fake news) van de VS overheid in ‘al haar glorie kunnen overzien…….’ Kortom het Pentagon gaat zich bezighouden met censuur van de bovenste plank, censuur die
thuishoort in een dictatuur (en dat is de VS al bijna)….. Tja, wie de informatie
beheerst, beheerst de wereld (waar het VS imperium buiten haar grenzen al meer dan 800 militaire bases heeft…)…..

Het
volgende artikel komt van Caitlin Johnstone en lezen mensen,
ongelofelijk wat je voorgeschoteld krijgt, niet zo vreemd: de VS is
knettergek en levensgevaarlijk, alleen deze eeuw hebben al 22,5 miljoen
mensen (waaronder een groot aantal kinderen) dit met de dood moeten
bekopen…..

WaPo
Warns USA Needs More Narrative Control As Pentagon Ramps Up
Narrative Control

by Caitlin
Johnstone

Do
you lay awake at night terrified that the Russians are able to
control your mind with information warfare while the US government’s
slavish devotion to democratic values leaves it powerless to stop
them? Me neither. But according to 
The
Washington Post
,
whose sole owner 
is
a CIA contractor
 and Pentagon
board member
 bent
on 
hijacking
the underlying infrastructure of the economy
,
we should be.

WaPo
columnist David Ignatius, who has been 
one
of the more hyperbolic promulgators
 of
western Russia hysteria in written media, has published an article
titled “
Why
America is losing the information war to Russia

about a new book by former State Department undersecretary for public
diplomacy Richard Engel. Engel and Ignatius engage in a joyful Red
Scare frolic with the exuberance of two little boys with a box of
spray paints, each trying to one-up the other in hysterical
apocalyptic ominousness about the way evil, authoritarian governments
like Russia have been able to weaponize information while
freedom-loving democracies can only look on in passive despair.

“The cruel paradox
of the Internet, once hailed as a liberating force, is that it
empowers governments that control information and enfeebles those
that let it run free,” warns Ignatius.

“[Authoritarian
governments] have gone from fearing the flow of information to
exploiting it,” cautions Engel. “They understand that the
same tools that spread democracy can engineer its undoing.”

Unsurprisingly,
at no point during this brotherly romp does Ignatius bother to make
mention of the fact that Engel 
is
actually on record
 saying
he supports the use of propaganda and believes the US government
should be using it on its own citizens.

“Basically,
every country creates their own narrative story and, you know, my old
job at the State 

Department was what people used to joke as the
‘chief propagandist’ job,” Engel 
said
last year
 at
an event organized by the 
shockingly ubiquitous
narrative management firm
 Council
on Foreign Relations.

“I’m not against
propaganda,” Engel said. “Every country does it, and they
have to do it to their own population, and I don’t necessarily
think it’s that awful.”


When
an audience member 
objected
to what he’d just heard
,
Engel curtly dismissed him and ended the talk.

So
anyway, that’s what the CIA/Pentagon/plutocracy-tied 
Washington
Post
 wants
you to be sure of: that evil governments are controlling your mind
with information warfare, and that the US government is struggling to
rescue you from that fate. Lucky for you, this report just so happens
to be coming out at the same time as we’re learning that the Pentagon
is already currently working on a program to protect you from
wrongthink by controlling your access to information.

Congratulations
to “online disinformation” alarmists who gave implicit
approval to this new Pentagon initiative to “detect malicious
intent and prevent viral fake news from polarizing
society”

A
recent 
Bloomberg article
titled “
U.S.
Unleashes Military to Fight Fake News, Disinformation

reports that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is
funding a new project called the Semantic Forensics program with
which “the military research agency hopes it can spot fake news
with malicious intent before going viral.”


“If
successful, the system after four years of trials may expand to
detect malicious intent and prevent viral fake news from polarizing
society,” 
Bloomberg reports.

DARPA
(formerly ARPA) is a top contender among some very stiff competition
for the absolute creepiest of all US government agencies. Journalist
Yasha Levine has done a lot of work documenting the way the
agency 
has
been intimately involved in internet surveillance
 since
before the internet was even really a thing, beginning in the
1960s 
with
its ARPANET program
 whose
technologies 
went
on to form the foundation
 of
the World Wide Web. DARPA is also engaged in such charming activities
as 
exploring
ways to knit AI into human neurology
,
funding 
programs
to control America’s election infrastructure
,
pouring 
billions
of dollars into the creation of a robot army
 and
constructing 
robotic
insects which can crawl up walls
.

Futurists have long
envisioned a utopia where mankind reaps the benefits of soaring
technological innovations which will overcome our every obstacle and
lead us to an unprecedented state of human thriving. What they failed
to account for was sociopathic government agencies like DARPA being
intimately involved in those technologies from the very beginning.

Let’s
please ban the word “narrative” from our discussion of the news
and this president. There is only one version of the facts and the
truth. Full stop.

Sciutto (@jimsciutto)

Power
is being able to control what happens. Absolute power is being able
to control what people 
think about
what happens. If you can control what happens, you can have power
until the public gets sick of your bullshit and tosses you out on
your ass. If you can control what people 
think about
what happens, you can have power forever. As long as you can control
how people are interpreting circumstances and events, there’s no
limit to the evils you can get away with.

Whoever
controls the narrative controls the world. Governments understand
this and so do their propagandists, and so, increasingly, do the
rank-and-file public. Which is why you’ve now got establishment
narrative managers like CNN’s Jim Sciutto 
saying
things like
“Let’s
please ban the word ‘narrative’ from our discussion of the news and
this president. There is only one version of the facts and the
truth.” Mass media propagandists would like nothing better
than to have people cease paying attention to the concept of
narrative and go back to believing that when they turn on CNN they
are receiving objective truth from the authoritative arbiters of
absolute reality.

But that cat’s out of the
bag. What has been seen cannot be unseen. A large number of people
are aware that there are some very powerful forces who have a vested
interest in controlling the thoughts that are in their head, and that
number is growing every day. These powerful forces have responded to
this new development by becoming increasingly ham-fisted in
regulating the public’s access to ideas and information, and now it’s
a race to see if they can slam the gates on us before we escape our
cage forever.

* Grote bedrijven die wel degelijk de verkiezingen beïnvloeden met vele miljarden voor de kandidaat van hun keuze (desnoods voor beide presidentskandidaten), bedrijven als die in: -de financiële sector, -de wapenindustrie, -de oliemaffia en andere grote bedrijven die belang hebben bij een overheid die vooral zo min mogelijk voor het volk doet, maar alles voor deze bedrijven en hun aandeelhouders…… Dit nog naast de reguliere (massa-) media, die ten allen tijde de meest neoliberale kandidaat steunen en middels leugens de niet gewenste kandidaat besmeuren…..

Tulsi Gabbard (pres. kandidaat VS) krijgt volgens NBC Russische steun op claim van firma die ‘Russische data’ fabriceert voor Republikeinen

De
zoveelste valse beschuldiging dat Rusland zich bemoeit met VS
verkiezingen ‘is geboren’: de democratische kandidaat voor VS
presidentschap in 2020, Tulsi Gabbard (congreslid voor Hawaï), zou de gewenste kandidaat van
Rusland zijn……

Lullig
voor NBC, overigens een notoire fake news (nepnieuws) brenger, dat haar
bericht is gebaseerd op een claim van een firma die Russische data
fabriceert, ofwel alweer ‘een Russische troll farm’ die niets, maar dan ook helemaal niets met Rusland te maken heeft, integendeel….. Deze fabricaties, door ‘New Knowledge’ in de wereld
gebracht, werden door de New York Times (NYT) doorgeprikt….. (valt
me alles mee, gezien de enorme hoeveelheid nepnieuws en andere
desinformatie die de NYT zelf in het ook recente verleden heeft
gebracht…….)

NBC
was op de hoogte van het feit dat New Knowledge fake Russische troll
accounts heeft geproduceerd op Facebook en Twitter en heeft dit feit
niet genoemd bij de beschuldiging aan het adres van Rusland en
Gabbard…… 

Zes weken geleden heeft Knew Knowledge deze ‘fake
accounts’, gebruikt om aan te tonen dat het Kremlin de
verkiezingen in Alabama heeft proberen te verzieken voor de democratische
kandidaat Doug Jones…… Dom genoeg kwam de NYT daarachter doordat
New Knowlegde zelf pochte over het opzetten van een botnet dat de
republikeinse kandidaat Roy Moore de wind in de rug had moeten geven….. Ofwel
ook hier was sprake van een false flag operatie, een operatie waarbij
een zelf gecreëerde misdaad in de schoenen van ‘de vijand’ wordt
geschoven……. Doug Jones die tijdens de campagne de valse beschuldigingen van New Knowledge misbruikte als was hij het slachtoffer van Russische manipulaties, stelde niet op de hoogte te zijn geweest van deze valse beschuldigingen…….

Deze
‘fraude’ werd door Jonathan Morgan van New Knowledge aan de kaak
gesteld, waar dezelfde Morgan de fake accounts gebruikte om aan te tonen
dat de Russen de verkiezingen in Alabama hadden gemanipuleerd…… Ongelofelijk…..

New
Knowledge bemoeide zich overigens ook al met de
presidentsverkiezingen van 2016. Een onderzoekscommissie van de
senaat gebruikte o.a. New Knowledge om aan de tonen dat de Russen
zich met deze verkiezingen hadden bemoeid….. 

Intussen is bekend dat
die beschuldigingen volledig zijn verzonnen, juist om de smerige rol
van Hillary Clinton t.a.v. haar democratische concurrent voor het
presidentschap Bernie Sanders te verbergen….. Uit emails van
Clinton en haar campagne team bleek dat men de voorverkiezingen had
gestolen van Sanders, echter niet die misdaad werd uitgezocht en
eventueel strafrechtelijk vervolgd, nee men sprak alleen over de
gelekte emails en wie daarvoor de schuld draagt….. Waarmee het
kwaadaardige sprookje ‘Russiagate’ ‘een feit’ was……

NBC
ging verder goed de fout in door uit eigen ‘gedegen’ onderzoek aan te
tonen dat RT, Sputnik en
 Russia
Insider twee keer meer aandacht aan Gabbard hadden geschonken dan aan
Bernie Sanders en Joe Biden….. Niet vreemd als je ziet dat Gubbard
haar kanidaatstelling voor de presidentsverkiezingen van 2020 bekend
maakte, terwijl zowel Biden als Sanders dat nog niet hebben gedaan
(maar waarschijnlijk wel zullen doen)…….

Ongelofelijk
dat men hier in de reguliere media en politiek nog dagelijks over
Russische manipulaties durft te spreken, die zoals gezegd al lang
zijn doorgeprikt, terwijl men tegelijkertijd de bek vol heeft van
fake news en andere desinformatie…….

Moet je nagaan, als gevolg van de enorme berg leugens, waar het bovenstaande aan kan worden toegevoegd, leugens die gepaard zijn gegaan met ‘Russiagate’, waarvoor zelfs na meer dan 2 jaar geen enkel bewijs is geleverd, omarmen democratieën de censuur die door platforms als Facebook en Twitter werden doorgevoerd…… In die democratieën wordt er zelfs voor gepleit een inperking van de vrijheid van meningsuiting door te voeren, samen met de hiervoor aangehaalde censuur, zaken die overduidelijk niet in een democratie, maar in een dictatuur thuishoren…….. 

Het volgende artikel van Glenn Greenwald werd eerder gepubliceerd op The Intercept:

NBC
News, to Claim Russia Supports Tulsi Gabbard, Relies on Firm Just
Caught Fabricating Russia Data for the Democratic Party

Glenn
Greenwald

February
3 2019, 2:49 p.m.

NBC
NEWS PUBLISHED
 a
predictably viral story
 Friday,
claiming that “experts who track websites and social media linked
to Russia have seen stirrings of a possible campaign of support for
Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard.”

But
the whole story was a sham: the only “experts” cited by NBC in
support of its key claim was the firm, New Knowledge, that 
just
got caught by the New York Times
 fabricating
Russian troll accounts on behalf of the Democratic Party in the
Alabama Senate race to manufacture false accusations that the Kremlin
was interfering in that election.

To
justify its claim that Tulsi Gabbard is the Kremlin’s
candidate, NBC stated: “analysts at New Knowledge, the company the
Senate Intelligence Committee used to track Russian activities in the
2016 election, told NBC News they’ve spotted ‘chatter’ related
to Gabbard in anonymous online message boards, including those known
for fomenting right-wing troll campaigns.”

What
NBC – 
amazingly – concealed
is a fact that reveals its article to be a journalistic fraud: that
same firm, New Knowledge, was caught
 just
six weeks ago 
engaging
in a massive scam to create fictitious Russian troll accounts on
Facebook and Twitter in order to claim that the Kremlin was working
to defeat Democratic Senate nominee Doug Jones in Alabama. The New
York Times, when exposing the scam, quoted a New Knowledge report
that boasted of its fabrications: “We orchestrated an elaborate
‘false flag’ operation that planted the idea that the [Roy] Moore
campaign was amplified on social media by a Russian botnet.’”

That
fraud was overseen by New Research’s CEO, Jonathon Morgan. At the
same time Morgan was fabricating Russian troll accounts and using
them to create a fraudulent appearance that Putin was trying to
defeat the Democratic Senate candidate, he was exploiting his social
media “expertise” to claim that Russians were interfering in the
Alabama Senate election. In other words, Morgan used his own
fake Russian accounts to lie to the public and deceive the national
media into believing that Kremlin-linked accounts were trying to
defeat the Democratic Senate candidate when, in fact, the accounts he
was citing were ones he himself had fabricated and controlled.

Even
worse, 
Morgan’s
firm is behind
 one
of the 
recent
Senate reports
 on
Russian social media election interference as well as the
creation of “Hamilton 68,” the 
pseudo-data-driven
dashboard
 constantly
used by U.S. media outlets to claim that its enemies are supported by
the Kremlin (that tool 
has
so been abused
 that
even some of its designers 
urged
the media to stop exaggerating its meaning
).
During the Alabama race, Morgan – in a tweet he deleted once his
fraud was exposed – cited the #Hamilton68 data that he himself
manipulated with his fake Russian accounts to claim that Russia was
interfering in the Alabama Senate race:

In
response to this scam being revealed, Facebook closed the accounts of
five Americans who were responsible for this fraud, including Morgan
himself, the “prominent social media researcher” who is 
the
CEO of New Knowledge
.
He also touts himself as a “State Dept. advisor, computational
propaganda researcher for DARPA, Brookings Institution.”

Beyond
Morgan’s Facebook suspension, the billionaire funder and LinkedIn
founder who provided the money for the New Knowledge project, Reid
Hoffman, 
apologized
and claimed
 he
had no knowledge of the fraud. The victorious Democratic Senate
candidate who won the Alabama Senate race and who repeatedly
cited New Knowledge’s fake Russian accounts during the
election to claim he was being attacked by Russian bots, Doug
Jones, 
insisted
he had no knowledge
 of
the scheme and has now 
called
for a federal investigation into New Knowledge
.

This is
the group of “experts” on which NBC News principally relied
to spread its inflammatory, sensationalistic, McCarthyite storyline
that Gabbard’s candidacy is supported by the Kremlin.

While
NBC cited a slew of former FBI and other security state agents to
speculate about 
why the
Kremlin would like Gabbard, its claim that “experts” have
detected the “stirrings” of such support came from this
discredited, disgraced firm, one that just proved it specializes in
issuing fictitious accusations against enemies of the Democratic
Party that they are linked to Russia. Just marvel at how heavily NBC
News relies on the disgraced New Knowledge to smear Gabbard as a
favorite of Moscow:

Experts
who track inauthentic social media accounts, however, have already
found some extolling Gabbard’s positions since she declared.

Within
a few days of Gabbard announcing her presidential bid, 
DisInfo
2018
,
part of the cybersecurity firm New Knowledge, found that three of the
top 15 URLs shared by the 800 social media accounts affiliated with
known and 
suspected
Russian propaganda operations
 directed
at U.S. citizens were about Gabbard.

Analysts
at New Knowledge, the company the Senate Intelligence Committee used
to track Russian activities in the 2016 election, told NBC News
they’ve spotted “chatter” related to Gabbard in anonymous
online message boards, including those known for fomenting right-wing
troll campaigns. The chatter discussed Gabbard’s usefulness.

A
few of our analysts saw some chatter on 8chan saying she was a good
‘divider’ candidate to amplify,” said New Knowledge’s
director of research Renee DiResta, director of research at New
Knowledge.

What’s
particularly unethical about the NBC report is that it tries to
bolster the credentials of this group by touting it as “the company
the Senate Intelligence Committee used to track Russian activities in
the 2016 election,” while concealing from its audience the fraud
that this firm’s CEO just got caught perpetrating on the
public on behalf of the Democratic Party.

The
only other so-called “expert” cited by NBC in support of its
claim that Russian accounts are supporting Gabbard is someone named
“Josh Russell,” who NBC identified as “Josh Russel.” Russell,
or Russel, is touted by NBC as “a researcher and ‘troll hunter’
known for identifying fake accounts.” In reality, “Russel” is
someone 
CNN
last year touted
 as
an “Indiana dad” and “amateur troll hunter” with a full-time
job unrelated to Russia (he works as programmer at a
college) and whose “hobby” is tracing online Russian accounts.

So
beyond the firm that just got caught in a major fraudulent scam
fabricating Russian support to help the Democratic Party, that’s
NBC’s only other vaunted expert for its claim that the Kremlin is
promoting Gabbard: someone CNN just last year called an “amateur”
who traces Russian accounts as a “hobby.” And even there, NBC
could only cite Russel (sic) as saying that “he recently spotted a
few clusters of suspicious accounts that retweeted the same exact
text about Gabbard, mostly neutral or slightly positive headlines.”

NBC
also purported to rely on its own highly sophisticated analysis
by counting the number of times Gabbard was mentioned by RT, Sputnik
and Russia Insider, and then noting what it seems to regard as the
highly incriminating fact that “Gabbard was mentioned on the three
sites about twice as often as two of the best known Democratic
possibilities for 2020, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, each with 10
stories.”

But
in contrast to Gabbard, who 
announced
her intent
 to
run for President almost a month ago, neither Biden nor Sanders has
done so. Perhaps that fact, rather than – as one of the NBC
reporters 
adolescently
gushed
:
“The Kremlin already has a crush on Tulsi Gabbard” – is what
explains the greater amount of coverage?

Russia’s propaganda machine discovers 2020 Dem contender Tulsi Gabbard

Experts who track websites and social media linked to Russia have seen stirrings of a possible campaign of support for Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard.

nbcnews.com

In
any event, NBC News, to smear Gabbard as a Kremlin favorite, relied
on a group that it heralded as “experts” without telling
its audience about the major fraud which this firm just got
caught perpetrating in order – on behalf of the Democratic Party –
to fabricate claims of Kremlin interference in the Alabama Senate
race.

That’s
because the playbook used by the axis of the Democratic Party,
NBC/MSNBC, neocons and the intelligence community has been, is and
will continue to be a very simple one: to smear any adversary of the
establishment wing of the Democratic Party – whether on the left or
the right – as a stooge or asset of the Kremlin (a key target will
undoubtedly be, 
indeed
already is
,
Bernie Sanders).

To
accomplish this McCarthyite goal, this Democratic Party coalition of
neocons, intelligence operatives and NBC stars will deceive,
smear and even engage in outright journalistic deception, as NBC
(once again) just proved with this report.

Scientists
Sound Alarm Over Mysterious Gov’t Plan to Spread Viruses Using Bugs

October
5, 2018 at 9:38 pm

Written
by 
Tyler
Durden

(ZHE Op-ed) — A
team of scientists sound the alarm in a new 
Science
Policy Forum report
 about a
mysterious US government program that is developing genetically
modified viruses that would be dispersed into the environment using
insects. 
The
virus-infected or ‘Frankenstein’ insects are being developed as
countermeasures against potential natural and engineered threats to
the US food supply. The program is operated by the Pentagon’s 
Defense
Advanced Research Project Agency
 (DARPA)
could be viewed as an attempt to develop an entirely new class of
bioweapons that would prompt other nations to seek similar weapons,
they cautioned.

The
researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
and the University of Freiburg both in Germany, and the University of
Montpellier in France suggest DARPA’s program could likely breach
the Biological Weapons Convention, the first multilateral disarmament
treaty banning the development, production, and stockpiling of
biological and toxin weapons.

Dubbed
the “Insect Allies” program,
 DARPA
began modifying insects in 2017, with the plan to produce more
resilient crops to help farmers deal with climate change, drought,
frost, floods, salinity, and disease, said Gizmodo. The technology at
the center of the program is an entirely new method of genetically
modifying crops. Instead of modifying seeds in a lab, farmers would
send swarms of insects into their crops, where the genetically
modified bugs would infect plants with a virus that passes along the
new resilience genes, a process known as horizontal genetic
alteration. Hence the technology’s name—Horizontal Environmental
Genetic Alteration Agents (HEGAA).

For
HEGAA to work, 
Gizmodo explains
that DARPA labs develop a virus that is inserted into the chromosome
of a target organism. Scientists would use leafhoppers, whiteflies,
and aphids genetically altered in the lab using CRISPR, or a variant
of a gene-editing system, to carry the virus into crops. 
Each
plant would then be infected by the insect, triggering the intended
effects of protecting crops from natural and or human-made threats.       

However, the lead author of the report, Richard Guy Reeves from the Department of Evolutionary Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology, says DARPA’s Insect Allies program is disturbing and an example of dual-use research in which the US government, in addition to aiding farmers’ crops, is also developing a biological weapon.     

Insect Allies is reportedly backed by $27 million of funding. According to Gizmodo, there are four academic research teams currently working on the project, including researchers at the Boyce Thompson Institute in New York, Pennsylvania State University, Ohio State University and the University of Texas at Austin. DARPA maintains that “all work is conducted inside closed laboratories, greenhouses, or other secured facilities,” and that the insects have built-in lifespans to limit their spread. By 2020 or 2021, DARPA is planning on testing the virus-infected insects on crops inside greenhouses at undisclosed locations.



Reeves
said the use of insects as a vehicle for genetic modification is a
horrible idea because they cannot be controlled and indicates that
traditional overhead sprays to deliver HEGAAs is the safest bet.
DARPA says insects are the only practical solution, as overhead
spraying of HEGAAs would require increased farming infrastructure —
something that is not available to all farmers.

The
report specifies how there is currently no global regulatory
framework to support this new way of transporting HEGAAs to crops,
which if not supervised correctly, could lead to potential mishaps.

The
scientists of the report interpret DARPA’s insect program as “an
intention to develop a means of delivery of HEGAAs for offensive
purposes,” such as conducting biological warfare.

These
genetically modified bugs could be implanted with a dangerous
plant-killing disease that the Trump adminstration could unleash over
farmland in Venezuela, Syria, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and or even
China, that would decimate the countries’ food supply.

The
introduction of this potentially dangerous technology, the scientists
argue, would usher in an entirely new class of biological,
insect-dispatched weapons that could be considered weapons of mass
destruction. Scientists warn that this technology would spur rival
nations to develop similar insect programs.

In
response to a Gizmodo question, a spokesperson for DARPA said it
welcomes academic dialogue about the Insect Allies program, but
criticizes the conclusion of the report, saying it is “misleading
and peppered with inaccuracies.”

Blake
Bextine, DARPA Program Manager for Insect Allies, rejects many of the
claims made by Reeves.

DARPA
is not producing biological weapons, and we reject the hypothetical
scenario,” 
Bextine
told Gizmodo.

We
accept and agree with concerns about potential dual use of
technology, an issue that comes up with virtually every new powerful
technology. Those concerns are precisely why we structured the Insect
Allies program the way we did, as a transparent, university-led,
fundamental research effort that benefits from the active
participation of regulators and ethicists and proactive communication
to policymakers,” said Bextine.

The
purpose of Insect Allies program, he states, is to prepare for a new
era of emerging threats to US agriculture. Brextine added that DARPA
is evaluating the potential environmental impacts of HEGAAs.

DARPA
is extraordinarily sensitive to environmental risks and off-target
effects, and has structured the Insect Allies program to identify and
mitigate them,” 
he
said.
 “DARPA
has mandated multiple levels of biosafety and biosecurity at each
stage of the program.”

If
DARPA’s program succeeds, they will have developed gain-of-function
treatments that can be delivered to the “right plants” and the
“right tissue,” he said. In other words, DARPA wants precision
guided 
biological
weapon
 insects.

Jason
Delborne, an Associate Professor at North Carolina State University,
an expert in genetic engineering, says the concerns seem
“appropriate.”

The
social, ethical, political, and ecological implications of producing
HEGAAs are significant and worthy of the same level of attention as
exploring the science underpinning the potential
technology,”
 Delborne
told Gizmodo.

The
authors argue persuasively that specifying insects as the preferred
delivery mechanism for HEGAAs is poorly justified by visions of
agricultural applications.
 The
infrastructure and expertise required for spraying agricultural
fields—at least in the U.S. context—is well established, 
and
this delivery mechanism would offer greater control over the
potential spread of a HEGAA.”

DARPA
could be on the cusp of obtaining a new biological weapon that would
most certainly be used against Venezuela, Syria, Iran, North Korea,
Russia, and or even China, to cripple the countries’ food supply
and lead to a regime change without firing a signal shot — this the
future of warfare.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, de populaire astrofisicus, is grootlobbyist van het militair-industrieel complex

Neil
deGrasse Tyson is de astrofisicus die vaak te zien is in programma’s

zeggen. Helaas heeft deze wetenschapper een heel vuil randje, zo is
hij voorstander van Trump’s militarisering van ‘de aardse ruimte’ en mocht
het de VS lukken hier de dominante factor te worden, kunnen we pas
echt onze borst natmaken.

Als

Neil
deGrasse Tyson: A Celebrity Salesman for the
Military-Industrial-Complex

byT.J.
COLES

The
idea for this article came from one of those annoying “Recommended
for you” thumbnails on YouTube. The title was: “Neil deGrasse
Tyson: Trump’s Space Force (USSF) Is Not a Crazy Idea.” Having written
about and researched space weapons for over a decade, I was intrigued
as to why a seemingly intelligent man (Tyson) would want to help
promote an agenda that will literally imperil us all, namely the
weaponization of space: the end-game of which is global domination in
the interests of economic neoliberalism. So I clicked. Tyson was
talking to host Stephen Colbert about the wonders of space
militarization (by the US, of course, not its enemies).

It
turns out that Tyson is promoting a new, co-authored book, 
Accessory
to War: the Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the
Military
 (W.W.
Norton, released, tastelessly, on 11 September), which is all about
the history of science militarization. The book is a disgraceful
attempt to use history as an excuse to justify the continuation and
expansion of taxpayer-funded R&D into hi-technology via military
budgets. By now, the hi-tech sector dominates the top US
corporations: Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft. Much of
the innovations used by these companies were initiated in the
military.

Tyson
is doing the rounds on national media, including Colbert and 
CBS
This Morning,
 to
promote the book and more broadly continued public expenditure on the
Pentagon. After a little digging, I found that America’s favourite
astrophysicist is a glorified salesman for the
military-industrial-complex.

TYSON’S
MILITARY-SCIENCE BACKGROUND

Having
graduated from the Bronx High School of Science, Tyson went on to
earn a PhD in astrophysics from Columbia University in 1991. From
1996, Tyson has been Frederick P. Rose director of the 
Hayden
Planetarium
 at
the American Museum of Natural History.

Pretty
soon, the George W. Bush administration was calling on Tyson’s
talents for all things space-related. Under President Bill Clinton,
the Space Command (later Air Force Space Command [USAFSC]) announced plans to
dominate the entire world by force, 
“Full
Spectrum Dominance”
 as
the successors continue to call it. In 2001, under Bush, the 
Rumsfeld
Space Commission,
 sought
ways to expand the  weaponization of space to reinforce US-led
corporate globalization and the architecture — satellites, GPS, the
internet, etc. — that supports it. In the same year, Tyson became a
formal employee of the Bush administration. One of his biographical
webpages 
states:

In
2001, Tyson was appointed by President Bush to serve on a 12-member
commission that studied the Future of the US Aerospace Industry. The
final report was published in 2002 and contained recommendations (for
Congress and for the major agencies of the government) that would
promote a thriving future of transportation, space exploration, and
national security.”

The
Final Report of the Commission on the Future of the United
StatesAerospace Industry,
 
 on
which Tyson worked, makes for an interesting read. It starts from an
elite-nationalistic viewpoint, namely that of maintaining US
supremacy in innovation before, discussing in Appendix G:
“Astronautical research and development, including resources,
personnel, equipment, and facilities; Outer space exploration and
control.” “Control,” no less. Controlling space is a core part
of “Full Spectrum Dominance.” Tyson’s biography
also 
states that
in 2004, he:

was
once again appointed by President Bush to serve on a 9-member
commission on the Implementation of the United States Space
Exploration Policy, dubbed the ‘Moon, Mars, and Beyond’
commission. This group navigated a path by which the new space vision
can become a successful part of the American agenda.”

The
follow-up Tyson-co-authored report,
 A
Journey to Inspire, Innovate, and Discover
,
also makes interesting reading. It states:

Of
particular importance to the space exploration vision is a strong
partnership between NASA and the Department of Defense, where
research, technical assistance, and operational assets are often
shared. The Commission believes that the role of the existing
Partnership Council – wherein NASA, the Air Force, and National
Reconnaissance Office (NRO) coordinate mutual work and interests – should
also focus actively on supporting the new vision.”

The
report says the US should “DARPA-ize” (my phrase) NASA. DARPA is
the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency which uses taxpayer
money to innovate the hi-technology which now dominates the top-ten
list of US corporations. DARPA famously brought us the internet, for
instance. The 
report says:

we
suggest that the Administration and Congress create within NASA an
organization drawing upon lessons learned from the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA is a highly successful
organization that is chartered to fund high-risk/high return basic
research in support of national defense priorities.”

R&D
SALESMAN

The
high-risk is paid for by the taxpayer who then buy back the given
product on the consumer market. For example: touch-screen technology
now used by Apple, for instance, came out of technology 
developed
for the Air Force
.

Disturbingly,
the report recommends that NASA integrate a contract system like the
US Missile “Defense” program, which is so  essential to the
overall goal of “Full Spectrum Dominance” (on his recent CBS
piece, Tyson doesn’t challenge the erroneous assumption  that
the system is for “defense”), The 
report says:
“In the case of U.S. Missile Defense, for example, the integrator
is responsible for the overall system of systems architecture, and
for integrating the space, air, land, and sea elements of the
architecture.”

The
goal of a successful propaganda system is to sell science designed
and applied for military use (itself serving the dual-functions of
ensuring US global corporate supremacy and innovation in the hi-tech
economy) to the public as “cool” and fun. Enter Tyson. Since
working for the federal government on these schemes, he has 
hosted the
PBS-NOVA series, Origins; worked on The Pluto Files documentary;
appeared on ScienceNOW; and has hosted StarTalk (funded in part by
the taxpayer-funded National Science Foundation [NSF]), which features
comedians who attract laypeople to science.

Tyson
joined the US military’s 15-member Defense Innovation Board (DIB),
launched in 2016. The board advises the Defense Secretary on numerous
issues. DIB continues the all-American tradition of ripping off
taxpayers by using their money to invest in hi-tech innovation under
the cover of a “defense” budget. DIB 
says:

Some
of the foremost topics the DIB is exploring include artificial
intelligence, machine learning, workforce capacity, organizational
structure, hiring and retention strategies, acquisition reform,
electronic and drone warfare, software capabilities, and IT
infrastructure.”

FLEECING
THE PUBLIC

So,
with this background, it’s not surprising that Tyson would appear
on national television and talk up the Defense Department. But it’s
crucial for any successful propaganda campaign that his record with
the federal government be suppressed, minimized or justified. Hence,
the failure (refusal?) of host Stephen Colbert to mention any of this
to the casual viewer. The show gives the impression that Tyson is
just a fun and intelligent man with no vested interests. In fact,
Tyson lies and tells both Colbert and CBS: “I have no dog in this
fight” in relation to Trump’s (read: the Pentagon’s) creation
of a “Space Force.”

As
noted, Tyson has been a government advisor and at the time of
appearing on the shows was a member of a DoD board. In addition, we
all have a “dog in the fight” of space weaponization because
fragile and complex space systems could result in catastrophic
failures, including miscommunications which can escalate into
near-terminal catastrophe, as has happened many times in the past in
relation to nuclear weapons (see, for instance, Daniel Ellsberg’s
chilling book, 
The
Doomsday
 
Machine).
Adding a space dimension to fraught and dangerous geopolitical
situations only adds to the risk.

Last
month, US Defense Secretary and war criminal, James 
“it’s
fun to shoot some people”
 Mattis,
told reporters that the Pentagon was advocating for a separate US
Space Command in response to the Defense Policy Bill’s plan to
integrate space systems under the Strategic Command (which also
oversees nuclear strategy). Mattis was initially against this,
says 
Space
News,
 but
has changed his mind in light of Trump’s (read: the Pentagon’s)
insistence on having a “Space Force”.

With
the new “Space Force” (as yet a nickname) potentially going
ahead, the friendly faces of US imperialism are rolled out to justify
expanding the militarization of space. Luckily, Tyson has a new book
on the same topic to promote. In addition, Trump’s undeserved
reputation as a moron (see my book 
President
Trump, Inc.
)
required the media presence of a respected professional (i.e., Tyson)
to promote the “Space Force.”

AN
AMORAL BOOK

In Accessory
to War
,
the authors write:

A
vibrant economy … depends on at least one of the following: the
profit motive,  war on the ground, or war in space … Must war
and profit be what drive both civilization on Earth and the
investigation of other worlds? History … makes it hard to answer no
… Star charts, calendars, chronometers, telescopes, maps,
compasses, rockets, satellites, drones–these war not inspirational
civilian endeavors. Dominance was their goal; increase of knowledge
was incidental.

The
first few years after 9/11 were a fine time to be mercenary, a
military engineering firm, or a giant aerospace company.”

Recall
that Tyson worked to promote the aeroindustry. Tyson acknowledges
that “the space research my colleagues and I conduct plugs firmly
and fundamentally into the nation’s military might.” At a
conference involving military brass, Tyson was directly exposed via
live-feed to the realities of blowing women and children apart with
hi-tech weapons in Iraq in 2003 from high-ground platforms. He
writes, self-pityingly:

Blinking
back tears and fighting to keep my composure, I thought about leaving
the conference. I began to choreograph my resignation from the board
of the Space Foundation. But at the same time I felt I couldn’t
just walk out of the sanctum of war…

[W]ithout
the power sought by its participants … and without the tandem
investments in  technology fostered by that quest for power,
there would be no astronomy, no astrophysics, no astronauts, no
exploration of the solar system, and barely any comprehension of the
cosmos.”

That’s
alright then. Tyson told CBS This Morning that he found a
psychological trick to avoid feeling responsible, namely to blame
everyone else: “I had to re-direct the causes and effects of this
violence, and say, ‘No. It’s us, the electorate’ ” — they
voted Bush in late-2000 (yeah, right). “If you have access to
weaponry that can achieve a geopolitical goal that is noble then, I’m
not there to stand in judgement of it,” he also told CBS.

MEANWHILE,
IN THE REAL WORLD…

Tyson
is careful to avoid mentioning that both China and Russia have
repeatedly advocated for signing a peace treaty with the US, both
for 
space and cyber
warfare

not because Russia and China are “good guys,” but because as much
weaker military powers it is in their interests to constrain US
military actions and not provoke the superpower by engaging in the
same, unless the US does it first. In fact, on the Colbert show,
Tyson even mentions the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 and ridicules it
as an equivalent of singing “Cumbayá.”

Meanwhile,
groups are actively thinking up ways to transform military spending
into peaceful R&D for a green- and other hi-tech economy.

report by
the German-based institute IFSH notes that military R&D is not an
inevitability. Following the end of the Cold War, military R&D
declined. But, “[e]ven in the US, civilian spending is now
substantially larger than military spending.” Why, then, place
emphasis on  military R&D, as Tyson does? In most countries,
says the author, “There has been a major shift towards military use
of technologies driven by civilian r&d, particularly in
electronics.”

In
terms of practical alternatives, Campaign Against the Arms
Trade 
notes that
skills shortages in the UK (the same applies to the US) means that
renewable energy sectors would be glad to employ people previously
skilled in the arms industry. Doing so lacks political will only. In
addition, the Campaign Against Climate Change 
reckons that
the UK could become a carbon neutral economy, employing one million
people, for £19bn a year, which is about half the current military
budget. This would also involve the kind of technological innovations
currently privileged by the military sector.

The
US transformed itself into a war economy during WWII and has remained
that ever since. But, with enough public pressure, it can be
transformed into a peace- and renewables economy. Don’t let
intellectuals fool you into thinking there are no alternatives to war
— and in this case, potentially terminal war.

What
the Media Isn’t Telling You About Social Media

Corbett
Report

(CORBETT) — Now
openly admitted, governments and militaries around the world employ
armies of keyboard warriors to spread propaganda and disrupt their
online opposition. Their goal? To shape public discourse around
global events in a way favourable to their standing military and
geopolitical objectives. Their method? The weaponization of social
media.

TRANSCRIPT:

It
didn’t take long from the birth of the world wide web for the
public to start using this new medium to transmit, collect and
analyze information in ways never before imagined. The first message
boards and clunky “Web 1.0” websites soon gave way to “the
blogosphere.” The arrival of social media was the next step in this
evolution, allowing for the formation of communities of interest to
share information in real time about events happening anywhere on the
globe.

But
as quickly as communities began to form around these new platforms,
governments and militaries were even quicker in recognizing the
potential to use this new medium to more effectively spread their own
propaganda.

Their
goal? To shape public discourse around global events in a way
favourable to their standing military and geopolitical objectives.

Their
method? The Weaponization of Social Media.

This
is 
The
Corbett Report

Facebook.
Twitter. YouTube. Snapchat. Instagram. Reddit. “Social media” as
we know it today barely existed fifteen years ago. Although it
provides new ways to interact with people and information from all
across the planet virtually instantaneously and virtually for free,
we are only now beginning to understand the depths of the problems
associated with these new platforms. More and more of the original
developers of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter admit
they 
no
longer use social media
 themselves
and actively keep it away from their children, and now they are
finally admitting the reason why: social media was designed
specifically to take advantage of your psychological weaknesses and
keep you addicted to your screen.

SEAN
PARKER
:
If the thought process that went into building these
applications—Facebook being the first of them to really understand
it—that thought process was all about “How do we consume as much
of your time and conscious attention as possible?” And that means
that we need to sort of give you a little dopamine hit every once in
a while because someone liked or commented on a photo or a post or
whatever, and that’s gonna get you to contribute more content and
that’s gonna get you more likes and comments. So it’s a social
validation feedback loop. I mean it’s exactly the kind of thing
that a hacker like myself would come up with, because you’re
exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology. And I think that
we—the inventors/creators, you know, it’s me, it’s Mark, it’s
Kevin Systrom at Instagram, it’s all of these people—understood
this consciously and we did it anyway.

It
should be no surprise, then, that in this world of social media
addicts and smartphone zombies, the 24/7 newsfeed is taking up a
greater and greater share of people’s lives. Our thoughts, our
opinions, our knowledge of the world, even our mood are increasingly
being influenced or even determined by what we see being posted,
tweeted or vlogged. And the process by which these media shape our
opinions is being carefully monitored and analyzed, not by the social
media companies themselves, but by the US military.

MARINA
PORTNAYA
:
When the world’s largest social media platform betrays its users,
there’s going to be outrage.

ABC
HOST: 
The
study to see whether Facebook could influence the emotional state of
its users on that news feed.

CNN
ANCHOR
:
It allowed researchers to manipulate almost 700,000 users’ news
feeds. Some saw more positive news about their friends, others saw
more negative.

CNN
GUEST
:
Well I’m not surprised. I mean we’re all kind of lab rat than the
big Facebook experiment.

PORTNAYA: But
it wasn’t only Facebook’s experiment. It turns out the
psychological study was connected to the US government’s research
on social unrest.

MORNING
JOE GUEST
:
This is really kind of creepy.

PORTNAYA:
And it gets worse. What you may not know is that the US Department of
Defense has reportedly spent roughly $20 million conducting studies
aimed at learning how to manipulate online behavior in order to
influence opinion. The initiative was launched in 2011 by the
Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, otherwise
known as DARPA. The program is best described as the US media’s
effort to become better at detecting and conducting propaganda
campaigns via social media. Translation: When anti-government
messages gain ground virally, Washington wants to find a way to
spread counter opinion.

SOURCE: US
military harnesses social media to manipulate online behaviour

The
DARPA document that details the Pentagon’s plans for influencing
opinions in the social media space is called “
Social
Media in Strategic Communication
.”
DARPA’s goal, according to 
their
own website
,
is “to develop tools to help identify misinformation or deception
campaigns and counter them with truthful information.”

Exactly
what tools were developed for this purpose and how they are currently
being deployed is unclear. 

But Rand Walzman, the program’s creator,
admitted last year that the project lasted four years, cost $50
million and led to the publication of over 200 papers. The papers,
including “
Incorporating
Human Cognitive Biases in a Probabilistic Model of Retweeting
,”
Structural
Properties of Ego Networks
,”
and “
Sentiment
Prediction using Collaborative Filtering
,”
make the thrust of the program perfectly clear. Social media users
are lab rats being carefully scrutinized by government-supported
researchers, their tweets and Facebook posts and Instagram pictures
being analyzed to determine how information spreads online, and, by
implication, how the government and the military can use these social
media networks to make their own propaganda “go viral.”

As
worrying as this research is, it pales in comparison to the knowledge
that governments, militaries and political lobby groups are already
employing squadrons of foot soldiers to wage information warfare in
the social media battlespace.

AL-JAZEERA
ANCHOR
:
The Pentagon’s got a new plan to counter anti-American messages in
cyberspace. It involves buying software that will enable the American
military to create and control fake online personas—fake people,
essentially—who will appear to have originated from all over the
world. The plan is being undertaken by CENTCOM (US Central Command),
and the objective of the online persona management service is to
combat enemy propaganda by influencing foreign social media websites.
CENTCOM has hired a software development company called “Ntrepid,”
and, according to the contract, the California-based company will
initially provide 50 user licenses, each of which would be capable of
controlling up to 10 fake personas. US law forbids the use of this
type of technology, called “sockpuppets,” against Americans, so
all the personas will reportedly be communicating in languages like
Arabic, Persian and Urdu.

So is it okay to have the government monitor social media
conversations and then to wade in and correct some of those
conversations? With more on this, let’s go to technology expert
Carmi Levy. He’s on the line from Montreal. Carmi, do you think the
government’s monitoring what you and I are saying right now? Is
this whole thing getting out of line, or what?

[…]

CARMI
LEVY: It opens up a bit of a question. I’d like to call it a
Pandora’s box about, you know, what exactly is the government’s
aim here, and what do they hope to accomplish with what they find
out? And as they accumulate this information online—this data on
us—where does that data go? And so I think as much as we should
applaud the government for getting into this area, the optics of it
are potentially very Big Brother-ish. And the government really does
need to be a little bit more concrete on what its intentions are and
how it intends to achieve them.

want to be there. We want to be the guys who influence what is
written there, how it’s written, and to ensure that it’s balanced

These
operations are only the visible and publicly-admitted front of a vast
array of military and intelligence programs that are attempting to
influence online behaviour, spread government propaganda, and disrupt
online communities that arise in opposition to their agenda.

That
such programs exist is not a matter of conjecture; it is mundane,
established, documented fact.

In
2014, an internal document was leaked from GCHQ, the British
equivalent of the NSA. The document, never intended for public
release, was entitled “
The
Art of Deception: Training for a New Generation of Online Covert
Operations

and bluntly stated that “We want to build Cyber 
Magicians.”
It then goes on to outline the “magic” techniques that must be
employed in influence and information operations online, including
deception and manipulation techniques like “anchoring,” “priming”
and “branding” propaganda narratives. After presenting a map of
social networking technologies that are targeted by these operations,
the document then instructs the “magicians” how to deceive the
public through “attention management” and behavioural
manipulation.

That
governments would turn to these strategies is hardly a shocking
development. In fact, the use of government shills to propagate
government talking points and disrupt online dissent has been openly
advocated on the record by high-ranking government officials for the
past decade.

In
2008, Cass Sunstein, a law professor who would go on to become
Obama’s information “czar,” co-authored a paper entitled
Conspiracy
Theories
,”
in which he wrote that the “best response” to online “conspiracy
theories” is what he calls “cognitive infiltration” of groups
spreading these ideas.

Government
agents (and their allies) might enter chat rooms, online social
networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine
percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual
premises, causal logic or implications for political action. In one
variant, government agents would openly proclaim, or at least make no
effort to conceal, their institutional affiliations. […] In another
variant, government officials would participate anonymously or even
with false identities.”

It
is perhaps particularly ironic that the idea that government agents
are actually and admittedly spreading propaganda online under false
identities is, to the less-informed members of the population, itself
a “conspiracy theory” rather than an established conspiracy fact.

Unsurprisingly,
when confronted about his proposal, Sunstein pretended to not
remember having written it and then pointedly refused to answer any
questions about it.

LUKE
RUDKOWSKI
:
My name is Bill de Burgh from Brooklyn College, and I know you’ve
written many articles. But I think the most telling one about you is
the 2008 one called “Conspiracy Theories,” where you openly
advocated government agents infiltrate activist groups of 9/11 Truth
and also stifle dissent online. I was wondering why do you think it’s
the government’s job, or why do you think the government should go
after family members who have questions and 9/11 responders who are
lied to about the air, survivors whose testimony conflicts, and also
government whistleblowers that were gagged because they released
information that contradicts the official story.

CASS
SUNSTEIN
:
I think it was Ricky who said I’d written hundreds of articles and
I remember some and not others. That one I don’t remember very
well. I hope I didn’t say 
that.
But whatever was said in that article, my role in government is to
oversee federal rule-making in a way that is wholly disconnected from
the vast majority of my academic writing, including that.

[…]

RUDKOWSKI:
I just want to know is it safe to say that you retract saying that
conspiracy theories should be banned or taxed for having an opinion
online. Is it safe to say that?

SUNSTEIN:
I don’t remember the article very well. So I hope I didn’t say
either those things.

RUDKOWSKI:
But you did and it’s written. Do you retract them?

SUNSTEIN:
I’m focused on my job.

Information Czar Cass Sunstein Confronted on Cognitive Infiltration
of Conspiracy Groups

Now,
a decade on from Sunstein’s proposal, we know that military psyops
agents, political lobbyists, corporate shills and government
propagandists are spending vast sums of money and employing entire
armies of keyboard warriors, leaving comments and shaping
conversations to change the public’s opinions, influence their
behaviour, and even alter their mood. And they are helped along in
this quest by the very same technology that allows the public to
connect on a scale never before possible.

Technology
is always a double-edged sword, and sometimes it can be dangerous to
wield that sword at all. There are ways to identify and neutralize
the threat of online trolls and shills, but the phenomenon is not
likely to go away any time soon.

Each
of us must find our own answer to the question of how best to
incorporate these technologies into our life. But the next time you
find yourself caught up in an argument with an online persona that
may or may not be a genuine human being, it might be better to ask
yourself if your efforts are better spent engaging in the argument or
just turning off the computer.
