⚡️“Right now there are 1000s and 1000s of fingers hard at work to penetrate your psyche”—Lyudmila Savchuk, activist who infiltrated Russia’s notorious Internet Research Agency propaganda troll farm named in Mueller indictment, speaking at #StratComDC. #disinformation @ACEurasia
That was amazing. Lyudmila Savchuk told of her breakdown after infiltrating Russia’s engine of world wide political warfare—Internet Research Agency troll factory in St Petersburg. Most shocking to her: They—fake persona disinformation operations—are everywhere.

.@apolyakova: Russia didn’t invent new technology. It exploited already available PR tools. They spread disinformation the way @Nike sells sneakers. The strategy is “firehose of falsehood”—drowning out information space (& truth) in a sea of planted propaganda. #StratComDC

Wall shutdown showdown’s next act: Trump goes to southern border Thursday “to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” He’s not negotiating a deal. He’s putting on shows to keep his propaganda on TV/media. Maybe he’ll bring a caravan😒
Trump to visit southern border after telling aides on Sunday he wanted them to come up with a resolution to the shutdown fight that would reopen the government—without him appearing to have capitulated to Democrats. via @WSJ wsj.com/articles/trump…
TV networks agreeing to air Trump's far-right wall propaganda address as if a real national security emergency is pretty despicable. An ominous sign that they haven't learned much about how propagandists use media to elevate bullshit in ways that undermine our country & the press

MAGA America: Trump’s about to speak in the Rose Garden. He reportedly just threatened to keep the govt shutdown for “months and years” over his campaign con wall. While a federal worker tells CNN she can’t pay her bill. #winning 🙃
Trump: “Tremendous things are happening. Wages are finally going up. It’s beautiful. That doesn’t happen from luck. I worked hard on that.” Now he’s just rambling about “open borders,” people getting shot, children…“Coyotes take a left, turn at the wall or powerful steel.” 🤦‍♀️😒
Listening to Trump, like

Buried in the Mueller astro-turfing indictment is something that we have long suspected. The Internet Research Agency's "troll farm" is geared to develop audience in socially active communities (e.g through aligned memes), in order to spam them on behalf of anyone willing to pay:
Before advertising networks can advertise they must build audience. How much of IRA's activities were simply trying to build audience by gaining followers using tweets and memes likely to be shared in those communities?
IRA allegedly also ran kitten appreciation groups. Are we also to believe that these kittens were also a plot to divide America? To not distinguish between audience building and customer advertising payload is sketchy.
