“A few weeks ago, Glenn Greenwald, while working with NBC News, revealed some details of a GCHQ presentation concerning how the surveillance organization had a “dirty tricks” group known as JTRIG — the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group. Now, over at The Intercept, he’s revealed the entire presentation and highlighted more details about how JTRIG would seek to infiltrate different groups online and destroy people’s reputations — going way, way, way beyond just targeting terrorist groups and threats to national security.”

Revealed: US spy operation that manipulates social media
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2011/mar/17/us-spy-operation-social-networks

“Military’s ‘sock puppet’ software creates fake online identities to spread pro-American propaganda.”

Sock Puppets are people – or software programs – who are paid by governments to spread pro-government propaganda primarily in social media platforms. They can have up to ten different personas, each with its own believable profile, and are distinguishable from random internet trolls and mistaken people and outright idiots and fools, by the fact that they are actually appointed and paid by governments.

“With the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States entered World War II. In June 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt created the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) – the forerunner of today’s CIA — to collect and analyze strategic information and to conduct espionage and special operations. For the first time in U.S. history, the nation had in the OSS a single intelligence service engaged in all basic secret activities: espionage, covert action, propaganda, and counterintelligence.”

Propaganda and Disinformation: How the CIA Manufactures History
http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v09/v09p305_Marchetti.html

“That, in a nutshell, sums up what the CIA has accomplished over the years through its various clandestine propaganda and disinformation programs. It has unwittingly and, often, deliberately decieved itself — and the American taxpayer. The CIA is a master at distorting history — even creating its own version of history to suit its institutional and operational purposes. It can do this largely because of two great advantages it possesses. One is the excessively secret environment in which it operates, and the other is that it is essentially a private instrument of the presidency.”

Army of Fake Social Media Friends to Promote Propaganda

“It’s recently been revealed that the U.S. government contracted HBGary Federal for the development of software which could create multiple fake social media profiles to manipulate and sway public opinion on controversial issues by promoting propaganda. It could also be used as surveillance to find public opinions with points of view the powers-that-be didn’t like. It could then potentially have their “fake” people run smear campaigns against those “real” people. As disturbing as this is, it’s not really new for U.S. intelligence or private intelligence firms to do the dirty work behind closed doors.”

How CIA and secret agents make use of NLP?

“CIA is the Central Intelligence Agency of the US government. The basic function of CIA is to amass and scrutinize the information about the foreign governments, corporations and the policymakers. CIA has its set of internal policies and has a number of interagency centers which share information.

Use of NLP Technology by CIA

CIA started to teach NLP to its employees in the early 50’s at a place called Waco. CIA has been using NLP to carry out investigations on those who are under the belt of suspicion. CIA uses hypnosis technique for carrying out investigations. Covert NLP has been reported to be used to gain control over the person who is to be investigated in a very ostensible way. When NLP is used, then the tentative conclusions can be obtained in the interrogation process.”

Leo Strauss’ Philosophy of Deception
http://www.alternet.org/story/15935/leo_strauss%27_philosophy_of_deception

“Many neoconservatives like Paul Wolfowitz are disciples of a philosopher who believed that the elite should use deception, religious fervor and perpetual war to control the ignorant masses.

What would you do if you wanted to topple Saddam Hussein, but your intelligence agencies couldn’t find the evidence to justify a war?

A follower of Leo Strauss may just hire the “right” kind of men to get the job done – people with the intellect, acuity, and, if necessary, the political commitment, polemical skills, and, above all, the imagination to find the evidence that career intelligence officers could not detect.”
