I did not post this comment. Someone else did. Probably MI5 or a FART agent.

Agitprop, or agitation propaganda, is another Russian tactic used to stir up emotional topics. In the olden times, agitprop was executed using poetry, plays, large-scale posters and wall art. In the internet age, designers create agitprop as memes and other artwork that can be forwarded via instant messaging and social media.

Another adversarial tactic called kompromat (compromising material) damages reputational harm by making false accusations. Today one can fabricate kompromat using artificial intelligence (AI), deepfake videos, readily accessible apps such as iMovie or rudimentary Photoshop skills.

The British Parliament placed disinformation and misinformation content in six broad categories:
1. Content that is fabricated or completely false.
2. Content that is manipulated by distorting information or imagery.
3. Content that is an impersonation of genuine sources (for example, “sock puppets”).
4. Content that is misleading (for example, clickbait).
5. Content that has a false context of connection; use of headlines that have no relation to reality or story facts.
6. Content that is baked with satire and parody (for example, humorous but false stories such as distorted memes).

HOW COVERT AGENTS INFILTRATE THE INTERNET TO MANIPULATE, DECEIVE, AND DESTROY REPUTATIONS :

Here is one illustrative list of tactics from one of the leaked GCHQ documents:

Core-tactics include injecting false material onto the Internet in order to destroy the reputation of targets and manipulating online discourse and activism for which methods such as posting material to the Internet and falsely attributing it to someone else, pretending to be a victim of the target individual whose reputation is intended to be destroyed and posting “negative information” on various forums may be used.

One of the many pressing stories that remains to be told from the Snowden archive is how western intelligence agencies are attempting to manipulate and control online discourse with extreme tactics of deception and reputation-destruction.

Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable.

Tactics include: “false flag operations” (posting material to the internet and falsely attributing it to someone else), fake victim blog posts (pretending to be a victim of the individual whose reputation they want to destroy), and posting “negative information” on various forums. 

According to information obtained by The Guardian, a Californian corporation has been awarded a contract with United States Central Command (Centcom), to develop what is described as an “online persona management service” that will allow one US serviceman or woman to control up to 10 separate identities based all over the world.

The Centcom contract stipulates that each fake online persona must have a convincing background, history and supporting details, and that up to 50 US-based controllers should be able to operate false identities from their workstations “without fear of being discovered by sophisticated adversaries”.

A December 26, 1977, investigative report in the New York Times described the scope of the CIA’s global campaign to influence opinion through media manipulation.

“In its persistent efforts to shape world opinion, the C.I.A. has been able to call upon” an extensive network “of newspapers, news services, magazines, publishing houses, broadcasting stations and other entities over which it has at various limes had some control. A decade ago, when the agency’s communications empire was at its peak, [it] embraced more than 500 news and public information organizations and individuals. According to one CIA official, they ranged in importance ‘from Radio Free Europe to a third‐ string guy in Quito who could get something in the local paper.’” The CIA funded those foreign “journalistic assets” generously.

Bernstein emphasized that the most valuable of the close associations were “with the New York Times, CBS and Time Inc. [the publisher of both Time and Newsweek].” In fact, the New York Times alone” provided cover for about ten CIA operatives” over a nearly two‐ decade period.

Around the world, government agencies and political parties are exploiting social media platforms to spread junk news and disinformation.

Have you ever come across someone on the Internet that you suspected was a paid government troll? Well, there is a very good chance that you were not imagining things.

Thanks to Edward Snowden, we now have solid proof that paid government trolls are using “psychology-based influence techniques” on social media websites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

One of the many pressing stories that remains to be told from the Snowden archive is how western intelligence agencies are attempting to manipulate and control online discourse with extreme tactics of deception and reputation-destruction.

Documents leaked by Snowden in 2013 also reveal that government agents have been conducting denial-of-service attacks, flooding social media websites with thinly veiled propaganda, and have been purposely attempting to warp public discourse online.

For that album, Paul Kantner named the band ‘Jefferson Starship’, because it was around a starship theme. Two tracks off the album co-written with David Crosby:

‘Have You Seen The Stars Tonight’: https://youtu.be/WaRlmClmEy8

‘A Child Is Coming’ : https://youtu.be/1D0Qr7VxaMs

Paul Kantner also worked on a follow-up to ‘Blows’, ‘Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra’ (P.E.R.R.O), but that album wasn’t created until much later.

However, we still have some of the original PERRO sessions from the early 1970’s, which featured David Crosby, Gerry Garcia, Slick etc.

Here’s ‘Mountain Song’, from the rare Perro sessions: https://youtu.be/cfOELMeBWPw

Would you go to a ‘Grateful Airplane’ fan site and start talking about it, or a “Panasonic GH5 Users” site?

Maybe if you reframed it in a general way, i.e. Osho on War, you might get a very tiny shoe in, if you were clever about it.

Do you have something to say about it which the world needs to hear, that hasn’t already been said a hundred times?
