First President to engage in memetic warfare while holding a million federal employees and contractors hostage.
Trolling is Trump doctrine, leveraging Kremlin and DARPA methods.
The GoT wall meme is an intricately layered “in-group” cultural signifier. At the core it’s Trumpists vs everyone else, Us vs Them anti-immigration, those who get Game of Thrones reference vs those who don’t, those who spread meme to endorse it vs those who spread meme in dissent

USA needs a GDPR. Europe is decades ahead of us and the next Congress needs to catch up. The FTC has clearly failed to protect America’s personal data. Our approach to privacy was a mistake. Time to admit it. Time to get serious.
When we discovered that US voter data was processed by Cambridge Analytica in the UK we realized we could complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. There is no such equivalent in the US. What if Cambridge Analytica hadn’t exported our data to UK?
My personal highlight of 2018: Realizing the work of 2017 had paid off. The world’s first criminal prosecution of Cambridge Analytica is because a simple filing with the UK ICO. Turns out, my Independence Day. Essentially, why is a British company interfering with my elections?

In this 2015 paper for NATO StratCom journal edited by a PSYOPs and TAA veteran from SCL, Giesea advocates for meme warfare, opening his essay by valorizing mega-troll Chuck C Johnson who was eventually investigated by the Senate Intelligence Committee. stratcomcoe.org/jeff-giesea-it…
In this May 2017 tweet, Steve Tatham of SCL (Iota Global), veteran of British Military PSYOPs, banter about TAA as a strategy for meme warfare.
Alas, the British military connections between Brexit and Trump just didn’t get the same sensational traction as a Reid Hoffman-funded disinfo test in Alabama. buzzfeednews.com/article/thomas…

💣Treason💣

Judge Sullivan:

📌”You may go to jail for your disgusting lies & selling out your country.”

📌Flynn's conduct might have amounted to "treason" working as a foreign agent while in the WH to advance the interests of a foreign nation.

📌Judge knows unredacted story.
💣Treason2💣

"I'm not hiding my disgust, my disdain, for this criminal offense,"

Flynn worked to advance the interests of the Turkish gov’t during Trump’s campaign.

Could Flynn have been charged with violating the Hatch act for interfering in RU sanctions imposed by Obama adm.
💣Treason3💣

📌This was "a high-ranking senior official of the adm making false statements to federal agents while on the premises of the WH" the judge said.

📌Judge made Flynn to admit publicly that he knew lying to the bureau was illegal and that he was guilty of a crime.

Hold on folks, here we go!
With Green New Dealers demanding action and international negotiators pursuing progress in Poland, there's renewed interest in ambitious action on climate change. Paris riots also remind us that voters’ appetite for expensive energy policies is not unlimited.
Finding feasible and cost-effective paths to a carbon-free grid is as important as ever! For guidance, @max_energy @samthernstrom & I reviewed 40 academic studies charting course to a decarbonized power system & synthesized findings in a paper just published in the journal Joule.

Thread: If you want to know how fake likes, loves and follows get industrialised on #Facebook, here's a good example from #Brazil.

The fakes boosted hyper-partisan posts in Mexico ahead of the election.

Fake engagement's an international business.

medium.com/dfrlab/electio…
Here are the reactions to two hyper-partisan Mexican posts, on different pages.

Note the number of accounts in common. Looks like an organised brigade.
Following the traces of the brigade led back to this account. Note the letters PCSD, which are diagnostic for this particular network.
