Schneier: ShoreUpGovtDemoc, deploy KillChains against InfluOps GentForuSpy

https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/08/12/8-ways-to-stay-ahead-of-influence-oper… "With election meddling inevitable in 2020, the United States needs a powerful kill chain." https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm Step 1: Norm Political Control Step 2: Force Social and Media Corps to Censor Step 3: Education Control Step 4: Fact Propaganda Step 5: Coop on Narrative Interlink Step 6: Censor and Volume Inversion Step 7: Govt Present Bogus WMD Evidence Step 8: Regime Forever "But Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election shows not just that such actions are possible but also that they’re surprisingly inexpensive to run. As these tactics continue to be democratized, more people will attempt them. And as more people, and multiple parties, conduct influence operations, they will increasingly be seen as how the game of politics is played in the information age. This means that the line will increasingly blur between influence operations and politics as usual, and that domestic influencers will be using them as part of campaigning. Defending democracy against foreign influence also necessitates making our own political debate healthier." Pols are talking like InfluOps are something new, a new horror that just popped up in the mid 2010's that has to be crushed. Pols been running same InfluOps game themselves since forever. Nothing new there. Other than a new agnostic tool that came on the scene for them all to use... The Internet. They're just crying over which Pol butthurt the other last with it in their little con-noncon orgy. And fighting amongst themselves over who gets to own, use, and control it... Their list does not include you. Own it, defend that, or disconnect and build your own.

The power of population is so superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must in some shape or other visit the human race. The vices of mankind are active and able ministers of depopulation. They are the precursors in the great army of destruction, and often finish the dreadful work themselves. But should they fail in this war of extermination, sickly seasons, epidemics, pestilence, and plague advance in terrific array, and sweep off their thousands and tens of thousands. Should success be still incomplete, gigantic inevitable famine stalks in the rear, and with one mighty blow levels the population with the food of the world." -- Thomas Malthus, 1798.

Bastiat wasn't an anarchist (though he was close to it) Now, I quoted Adam Smith explaining the ABC of mercantilism - mercantilism being the political system in which the 'capitalists' and the government are 50/50 partners in crime. The system is also known as corporatocracy, fascism, monarchy, monopoly, etc etc. "capitalists are the ruling class" - I never said that. They are HALF of the ruling class. Now, take it up with Adam Smith. But you'll need to read Adam Smith first. Also, read Spooner Bastiat and Molinari first. In other words, FIRST educate yourself. Then...you wouldn't be wasting your time and my time. > So, to prove you are not yet another paid shill working from a shill > office, commit a thought crime. Priceless...Everything I write on this list is a 'thought crime'. From stressing the fact that the US military blew up the 'world trace center' to pointing out that 'age of consent' 'laws' are fascist nonsense, or the fact that the US government should be exterminated. > > What caused the great minority mortgage meltdown?

I don't know. I'd assume it's because the males have all been castrated by your beloved, jew-kristian puritan corporatocracy. Hey sonny, I'm 100x more anti feminazi than you.
