Philip Giraldi — Influencing Foreigners Is What Tidings Agencies Do
The Rand Corporation defines America's influence operations as... “the coordinated, integrated, as well as synchronized application of national diplomatic, informational, military, economic, as well as other capabilities inwards peacetime, crisis, conflict, as well as post-conflict to foster attitudes, behaviors, or decisions past times unusual target audiences that farther US interests as well as objectives. In this view, influence operations accent communications to impact attitudes as well as behaviors simply too tin include the work of armed forces capabilities, economical development, as well as other real-world capabilities that too tin play a purpose inwards reinforcing these communications.”…
The fact is that spreading disinformation as well as confusion are what governments as well as intelligence services create to protect what they take in to survive vital interests. It is naïve for the US Senate as well as America’s leading newspapers to hold that intelligence probing as well as other forms of interference from Russian Federation or PRC or Islamic Republic of Iran or fifty-fifty “friend” State of Israel come about inwards a vacuum. Everyone intrudes as well as spreads lies as well as everyone volition run along to create it because it is slow to sympathize as well as inexpensive to run. In the end, however, its effectiveness is limited. In 2016 the election outcome was determined past times a lack of trust on the component of the American people for what the institution politicians convey been offering, non because of interference from Moscow.
Duh. The simulated scandalize over Russian as well as Chinese "meddling" is disingenuous as well as hypocritical.
More, "It's ok when nosotros create it it, because nosotros are the white hats, simply bad when they create it, because they are the dark hats."
