As invasive and stealth data mining practices are becoming commonplace, we may soon be dealing not just with disinformation or communications blackouts, but with mass-scale surreptitious manipulation through nudging.

amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Communication mediated through hypernudging can gradually shift our moral values, norms and priorities.

amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Nudging (brain washing) using models built on individual preferences will become much more impactful in the future. Long-term nudging can be powerful – if not to swing a close election, maybe to increase apathy or foment dissent and distrust towards our institutions.
Information manipulation is employed by political actors taking advantage of regulatory and legal vacuums to change power dynamics.

Reclaiming our privacy is the first step. We are going to need it if we are to stand a chance of resisting the information weapons being used to discipline and control us.

In 2014 the US government banned all federal funding on efforts to weaponize three viruses – influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

👉🏼What did Fauci do? Outsource the research to Wuhan😏

By the time $3.7 million had been approved for the Wihan Bioweapons lab in 2019; the lab had already gotten $3.7 over the preceding 5 years under the Obama regime (which would have been after the domestic ban on gain of function research in the US)

The US funding of the Wuhan bioweapons lab was in two phases.
The second phase included “Gain of function research”

Here we are, watching a (so far) depressing semi-final rugby game between the England & NZ

The big black English guy is especially awesome (as all the players on both sides are)

But it doesn’t seem to be strength, so much as strategy that is creating a depressing (for us) game
The English seem to me (a very none sports person) to have a strategy a bit like a wolf pack.

When NZ gets the ball, the English seem to force the player to the side, then push the NZ player off side (whatever that is called, which doesn’t seem good, score opportunity wise)
At the beginning of the game the Brits surrounded our team during the Haka. Granted, I’m not into sport - but suspect this was a bit of a message.

They seem to have “studied” the All Blacks, and somehow seem to know how to predict and foil All Black strategy.

Hmmmm

Why is the @ICIJorg keeping large amounts of data related to the Panama Papers Tax Haven users Secret?
Is it to protect favoured politicians, Deep Staters and elites?
Cherry picked published info is often agenda driven.

I used to think highly of @ICIJorg
But the framing of the Panama Papers report made me question who is behind that organization, and what is it’s political agenda?

🐘Or were they were set up with cherry picked leaks, by an agenda driven Deep State-linked leaker?🐘
Deep State Spy/Propagandists can exploit what are generally believed to be credible news sources by feeding them agenda driven, cherry picked data

Who pushed to publish presumed guilt by association - which is a form of generally, agenda-driven Fake News?

Good question.
Unfortunately part of NZ media appears to continue to relentlessly demonstrate an anti-Labour, anti-Winston Peters bias - while being effectively an advertising platform for the National Party,

This happened when the Nats were in, and has continued since ousted.
IMO it’s important that the media not just be a megaphone for an incumbent government or any opposition party or politicians, or other agenda driven elite interests; especially if they also abuse their media power to attack the opponents to their preferred politicians or Party.
IMO corp media around the world has lost it’s credibility due to one-eyed profiteering focus; and frequent blatant bias, misinformation, & speculative agenda-driven Fake News - presented as if indisputable facts.

IMO News has improved in NZ, but needs to be much more nonpartisan

Hmmmm. Given all the medical examiners in the US - it’s fair to suspect selecting him for these high profile cases was no coincidence.
🐘Is he an establishment ‘go to guy’?🐘
🐘Is it typical in the US for the medical examiner in a murder trial to be married to one of the attorney’s for the high profile defendant?🐘
Just found that the Chief Medical Examiner who gave the report - is not him, but Dr. Barbara Sampson

‘Dr. Barbara Sampson said her ruling came following a "careful review of all investigative information, including complete autopsy findings."’

The investigation of the FBI and DOJ investigation of Clinton emailgate makes it very clear that Peter Strzok (deputy head of the FBI Counterintelligence Division and in charge of the Clinton investigation) was informed about the major security issue

grassley.senate.gov/sites/default/…
Besides the fact that Peter Strzok knew that virtually all of Hillary Clinton’s emails were forwarded to a Chinese State owned company email address; Strzok was reportedly having an affair with Lisa Page, who was on the (anti-Trump) Mueller investigation

grassley.senate.gov/sites/default/…
Wouldn’t anyone in FBI Counterintelligence have bothered to investigate the email address to which all but 4 of 30,000 Clinton emails were forwarded?

Wouldn’t the FBI have checked metadata on Clinton’s emails themselves?
Why did the FBI ask the ICIG people how they found it?
