Years after everyone with a brain knew there no WMDs in Iraq, John Podhoretz concluded that the real mistake was not indiscriminately killing every Muslim male in the country. Image

That project is even wilder than it sounds. According to documents obtained by @FDRLST, the multi-million dollar defense contract to study “large scale social deception” was run by a group called the 711th Human Performance Wing, an Air Force Research Laboratory project run out of an air force base in Dayton, Ohio.

What exactly did this “active social engineering” unit do with all that money? We don’t know, but we do know who managed and oversaw the social engineering and deception project: a DARPA scientist named Joshua Elliott who abandoned his academic field of theoretical particle physics to focus on global warming and climate change. According to the Federation for American Scientists, Elliott managed $600 million of DARPA projects during his 6-year tenure at the secretive military research agency.

Other entities that received funding via the same “active social engineering” contract in addition to Thomson Reuters include the Canadian version of GSA, Raytheon, the University of Southern California, government consultancies Mitre Corporation and SRI International, and HRL Laboratories, a joint venture of Boeing and General Motors.
It wasn’t the Reuters newsroom that worked on this contract, but a special investigative corporate subsidiary called Thomson Reuters Special Services. While the contract purports to develop defenses against sophisticated phishing attacks from adversaries, research documents from the project show that the contractors developed their own massive social media infrastructure using bots and fake personas.

“Our team has demonstrated the creation and management of a multi-virtual-persona social media interaction system,” one document notes. “Our dialog management framework was integrated with a set of services that managed synthetic social media accounts.”

In simple terms, this DARPA contract involved the development and deployment of technology to create and manage fake social media accounts at scale.

This is far more insidious than a simple government payment to a news agency.Image
HRL, another contractor on the project, bragged that as part of its counter-phishing research work for DARPA’s “active social engineering” contract it had developed technology to “gather as much personal information on an attacker as possible, including identifying individual bad actors and any agencies that might be behind them.”

That might be a great tool to use against actual enemies, but what would prevent a government or rogue agency from turning that against its own people? What would prevent a dissident from being targeted as an “attacker” and then having this weapon used on them to swipe their personal information and track their conversations, movements, and relationships?Image

A Democrat House staffer referenced a tweet of mine during the deposition of Alex Stamos, one of Big Tech’s censorship chiefs, according to a transcript released today. The Democrat staffer clearly had a problem with the entirely accurate tweet, which quoted and screencapped IRS whistleblower testimony about how the FBI had authenticated Hunter’s laptop long before its campaign to censor coverage of it during the 2020 election.

Stamos’ organization has a history of censoring my Twitter account. During the 2020 election, his organization worked to censor a tweet of mine which quoted, screencapped, and linked to a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision to require undated ballots to be processed as valid.Image

We caught them red-handed in 2020 when they censored us for reporting on election litigation. thefederalist.com/2020/11/04/twi…
But we didn’t t learn until recently that our own government, despite being prohibited by statute and the Constitution from abridging freedom of speech or the freeeom of the press, deliberately targeted us for censorship. thefederalist.com/2023/11/07/gov…

A lot of people don’t know this, but in the 80’s if you were sick and had to stay home from school, you didn’t need medicine to get better. You just needed chicken noodle soup and the Price is Right, and boom you were good to go the next day.
It didn’t matter that the Soviets might nuke us at any minute or that you had a fever of 104 and could barely swallow. When Bob Barker revealed that lovely dinette set and Sally from Buffalo bid $1, you knew everything was going to be alright.
Is there any joy more pure than the realization that they’re about to play Plinko, the greatest game show game in history? If you were lucky enough to have saltines, 7-Up, and Plinko at the same time, you were living better than most kings throughout all of human history.

Imagine if Zuckerberg spent $400 million to privatize election offices and then used them to run get out the vote operations for Democrat candidates.
Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey used Facebook and Twitter to censor factual reporting about Joe Biden’s corrupt crackhead son and his foreign influence-peddling escapades in order to swing a presidential election, @samstein. Imagine that.
Imagine if Buzzfeed turned its entire video operation into a promotional vehicle for Barack Obama’s dumpster fire of a healthcare law that screwed up everyone’s insurance and doubled their premiums? Can you imagine that, @samstein? Image
