THE USUAL SUSPECTS: The declassified @ODNIgov report reveals Putin and his Kremlin cutouts continue to attack our democracy.
dni.gov/files/ODNI/doc… 1/
KEY JUDGMENT 2: In 2020, Putin and his Kremlin cutouts continued their assault against the Democratic Party and Biden’s Presidency by undermining confidence in our elections and exploiting divisions. 2/
KREMLIN DIRECTION: @ODNIgov determined Putin and senior Russian officials were aware of probably directed Russia’s influence operation against the 2020 election. 3/
METHOD ACTORS: @ODNIgov assessed that Russian intelligence used bad actors in the U.S. with Ukraine ties, to supplement state-sponsored trolls, to try to sell their bullshit about Biden and his family.

Perspective: What was Rudy Giuliani peddling and who does he work for? 4/
SOS (Same Old Shit): Russia’s online influence actors sought to affect US public perception about candidates, just like their attacks on Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The Kremlin also aimed at dividing Americans from within, against one another. 5/
OUTSOURCING INFLUENCE: Putin’s chef continued stirring up hate and despair from new troll farms in Ghana, Mexico, and Nigeria.

New name, same shit. 6/
ROGUE STATE: The report notes that Moscow’s attacks on American democracy are ongoing.

The report notes the Kremlin is trying to weaken the United States. 7/
THE NETWORK: My recent report in @BylineTimes with @davetroy reveals the Kremlin is assisted in its attacks on democracy by homegrown terrorists. 8/
ACTIVE MEASURES: This 2016 @NATO report by @KeirGiles reveals details of Russian active measures tactics and Kremlin aggressors bank on domestic help. 9/
CONSPIRACY TO INTERFERE: Fighting information warfare is the battle of our lifetime. 10/
RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE: The @ODNIgov report mentions Paul Manafort’s handler, who he shared internal polling data with to “get whole.”

THE NETWORK: Network analyst and disinformation specialist @DaveTroy has been documenting the connections between former American military and intelligence agents who are spreading conspiracy theories linked to a disinformation phenomenon known as QAnon. 1/
Troy also has been tying up loose ends between powerful right-wing groups such as the Council for National Policy (CNP) and its history with Kremlin-linked operatives. 2/
The CNP formed as an alliance of conservatives created in the aftermath of the Reagan election in 1981 to lay the groundwork for policy objectives. Among its associates are the Mercer and Koch families, backers of prominent right-wing movements and organisations. 3/

MESSAGING INJECTIONS: In my interview with @davetroy on the network responsible for the January 6 insurrection and weapons’ grade psyops, he explained how America’s bias toward individualism makes us particularly vulnerable to social manipulation.

Sidebar: an interview extra. 1/
“Particularly in the United States we have a bias toward individualism and the idea that each of us is a rational actor and we have agency and we can take in information and decide about stuff, and therefore any failings that any individual has is like their fault.”-@davetroy 2/
“So therefore there cannot be manipulation in that context because everyone is sovereign.
My opinion is that’s bullshit. We are group creatures, we are social animals, we have a social identity that we use to interpret the world. We see the world through social lenses.”-DT 3/

“QAnon crawled out of the sewer that is the chans, it started moving around, people observed it and said, ‘Hmm, this has some utility.’ And people started feeding it and using it..It got tuned to be something that could be manipulated,used to an effect.”-@davetroy in @BylineTimes
“Troy says he finds it alarming that Flynn is an expert in networked insurgency.

‘He would know that if you want some people to do some things you just have to plant messaging with some mullahs, get the mullahs to put out the word..and then what do you know, something happens.”
“We spent a lot of time last fall raising alarm bells with journalists, saying, ‘Dudes, this is crazy.’ Military folks and intel people are saying this stuff, some of whom have backgrounds with psyops..so aspects of QAnon may be informed by people w/expertise in psyops.”@davetroy
