Please watch this short and very informative video. It details the information warfare currently being implemented globally. The rest of this thread deals with the Canadian experience.
Canada is also being subjected to psychological warfare. Is it the Russians? Or is it just corrupt Conservatives who have learned from their US contacts? 🤷🏻♀️
Does it matter?
Does it matter?
There is a discernible strategy to the psychological warfare being used in Canada, & most especially in Alberta and Ontario. It is the same strategy used by Dominionist Christian 7 Mountains Strategy:
Invade a social democracy’s cultural sectors & transform society from within.

We know the short term goals of Putin.
Are Canadian corrupt conservatives aiming for the same outcomes? Upon first glance, it doesn’t seem so.
But look closer.

Canada has its own Magnitsky Act and has imposed sanctions on Russian nationals and corporations. Notably in oil sands and transportation.
Cons are adamantly working to destabilize Canada politically and economically.
Have cons denounced activities in Ukraine & Syria?

Whether it is Russian influence or not, Canadians are also subjected to a litany of change agents. Rebel, Post Millennial, True North. But disinformation is also coming hard & fast from the far left. Singh, Ashton, Angus, & pundits like Luke Savage.
The goal is to confuse, demoralize, overwhelm, obfuscate, and create deep division amongst the electorate using distrust of institutions and political leaders, fomentation of hatred and post-truth politics.
If you aren’t sure about post-truth politics, here is a definition.

Albertans are publicly funding a disinformation tool to the cost of $30M per year. The Canadian Energy Centre (CEC).
It’s sole purpose is to demonize those who dissent to corrupt conservative ideology & to promote disinformation to confuse and manipulate the public.
It’s sole purpose is to demonize those who dissent to corrupt conservative ideology & to promote disinformation to confuse and manipulate the public.
The CEC is a corruption of democratic values of truth/honesty, compromise and cooperation & a betrayal of morality and societal norms. It operates without public transparency but uses public funds.
Albertans are now funding the very tools being used to attack Canadian democracy.
Kenney & UCP are altering AB public education to indoctrinate children, while using multiple mediums to corrupt trust in Canadian institutions & commitment to democracy to the Canadian electorate.

Most of the public are seemingly oblivious to their actions.
Cons CONSTANTLY deny climate change, the state of the Canadian economy, impacts of budget cuts, etc.
We are at WAR.
It’s a hybrid war. Fought with disinformation and manipulation of our beliefs.

Our only individual defence is critical thinking. And to remain ever vigilant to the attack.
The CEC has been portrayed as an amateur attempt at manipulation, employing inept and inexperienced agents of change.
Don’t be fooled into underestimating this entity.

A “lame duck” routine is being used to convince you to lower your defences. Lulled into believing the CEC is incompetent is a ruse.
An experienced professional communication strategist is behind CEC. This man’s job is to infiltrate the Canadian mindset.

UCP and the CEC are using techniques developed & refined by totalitarian regimes to perform THOUGHT REFORM. Also known colloquially as brainwashing.
Robert Jay Lifton has studied these techniques and written extensively about how they are used to manipulate beliefs & behaviour.

In this article, Lifton discusses the concept of TOTALISM, and the techniques used to form a cult.
Totalism is Lifton’s terminology for fundamentalism. Also known as extremism.

Cons have done the groundwork in Canada. MSM & SM are fully compromised. News outlets demonstrate conservative bias & suppression of opinion & facts that contradict the con agenda.

There are 8 identifiable techniques used by those who want to change thoughts and behaviour.
Review them. And compare them to the strategies of corrupt conservative communication narratives, the number of electorate already affected, and the current politics in Canada.

Milieu Control
Harper amended broadcasting laws to enable milieu control.
Mystical Manipulation
Scheer was presented as a biblical Daniel-like saviour of Canadian economy & SoCon agenda during fed election. Kenney is presented as a messiah, with several devoted followers.

Demand for Purity
Every con regularly creates a binary argument. You either support their ideology, or you’re the enemy.
Confession
Sending your children to school is portrayed as indoctrinating them. Expressing compassion or empathy for others is viewed as a sin.

Sacred Science
Kenney & Harper. Both treated as demigods spreading the word of God and the divine support for their ideology.
Both are Dominionist Christians with a clear agenda to impose Dominionist Christian policies on all citizens.

Loading the Language
Most don’t understand coded language Cons use to communicate to their supporters. Cons clearly reveal their intent, if you know the code.
Doctrine Over Person
Con supporters deny climate change in the face of abundant evidence. Eg. Australia bush fires.

Dispensing of Existence
PM Trudeau is considered a traitor, because his political views vary from con ideology. Protesters are regularly dehumanized. Harper changed RCMP & CSIS policy to monitor protesters to O&G agenda.
We aren’t that far from outlawing dissent.

Conservatives have created a political environment where there is no room for beliefs and values that differ from the conservative agenda.
This is psychological warfare. It doesn’t matter if Russia is involved or not, it’s destroying Canadian democracy.

The current strategies of the Canadian Conservative movement:
Eliminate dissent.
Promote only Con dogma.
Indoctrinate youth and the vulnerable.
Control the electorate’s thoughts by eliminating contrary narratives.
Eviscerate & destroy former cons.

Conservatives are no longer working within a democratic framework. They are trying to indoctrinate the nation with their dogma and ideological belief system. To reform the thoughts of Canadians & control the narrative.
Like Russia, China & N. Korea do to their citizens.

Here is Carole Cadwalladr’s article about the recent drop of Cambridge Analytica docs.
This is a significant threat to every global democracy.
There’s a reason authoritarians keep winning.
Data analytics of personal data is one of the reasons why.

And here is the Twitter account responsible for the data dump.
Up to 65 nations were impacted by Cambridge Analytica interference.
Three nations have been profiled. The intent is to profile them all on @HindsightFiles account. Please follow it for continued updates.

Political parties like United Conservative Party (UCP) and the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) are using data analytics to learn about & manipulate the electorate. They’ve completed the indoctrination of the most vulnerable.

Many formerly politically moderate citizens have “reformed” their thoughts, beliefs and values into extremist political positions. We all know someone who has seemingly “drank the koolaid” and transformed into a hate fuelled automaton spouting con talking points religiously.
Using aggregated data analytics and military grade psychological warfare is one of the reasons why.
It’s also not just the uneducated or low information citizen who is vulnerable to this attack.

Many of us willingly documented our lives on social media.
Shopping, social media posts, browse histories, petitions, personality quizzes.
Breaches of personal data are common. Here is a recent one.
Data analysts have the data to know you better than you know yourself.

We are all vulnerable to something: fears, insecurities, desires, needs.
It’s a matter of time before data analysts crack the code to everyone’s vulnerabilities. Your education, critical thinking & strong will won’t protect you.

Psychological manipulation is the politics of the present. If you want to reside in a democracy in the future, we work together to stop this now.
But how?
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Learning to recognize what is psychological manipulation is the first step.

Recognizing that societal norms are being or have been obliterated is another.
We can not rely on norms, shaming, calling out lies & social pressure to protect our democracy.
There are people in power that are corrupt and do not respect laws & norms. That much is clear.

We need to stop staring with doe eyes in shock & disbelief and save ourselves. There is no one coming to rescue us. We help ourselves or we submit control of our future to this growing neofascist and authoritarian regime.
Those are our options. Like it or not!

The largest global grift in history is climate denial and doubt. Millions are spent to create climate denial, including $30M/yr of taxpayers funds in Alberta.
Climate activism is what authoritarians are attempting to stop. So, be a volunteer climate activist.

BE A CANDIDATE
If you don’t like the candidates, or you have the will and the desire to lead, become one. Federal, Provincial, Municipal, School Trustees, Community League, Parent Teacher Committee. Doesn’t matter. Don’t second guess yourself, just do it. And do it well.

PROTECT VOTERS
Voter suppression is a growing problem in Alberta. It’s accomplished by voter intimidation (cultural communities), implying there is no opportunity for progressives to win & fomenting apathy. Let’s politically engage the 1/3 of Albertans who didn’t vote in 2019.

PROTECT VOTING
Monitoring votes is required. Several allegations of multiple votes being cast, religious communities and cultural groups being told to vote conservative, ballot stuffing, etc.
We need people to monitor the entire voting process. From beginning to end.

INSPIRE VOTING
One third of Alberta eligible voters have given up on voting. Find one of those individuals and inspire them to vote. Every vote makes a difference.
In Alberta, 1/3 of the population is dictating the govt. Change that by removing apathy through inspiration.

STAY CIVIL
Conservatives are creating a narrative that progressives & centrists are violent, abusive, totalitarian & elitist. Don’t add to the stereotype. It’s hard. It’s really hard. I struggle with it daily. But stay civil. Don’t lose integrity by exploding in frustration.

We are seriously at WAR.
This is a hybrid war using psychological warfare. Employing techniques used in thought reform, using aggregated personal data to design narratives that play on our fears and insecurities,
So we better start acting like we are at war and fight back.
