Twitter files 8. Security services used social media for Psychological warfare.

 SOCIAL MEDIA HAS LONG BEEN RECOGNIZED AS PART OF REGIME CHANGE TACTICS

HAVE THESE METHODS BEEN USED ON THE DOMESTIC POPULATION?

It has been public knowledge that social media has been used in many of the regime change movements around the world. It was clear in Ukraine in 2004 and 2014, Russia in 2011 and Egypt 2011, where many of the instigators were U.S. citizens on the ground and arrested and eventually negotiated their release by the Obama administration. Many of these movements were on the borders of Russia, including Belarus 2006, Georgia, 2003, Kyrgyzstan 2005, and Kazakhstan 2022 and Yugoslavia 2000. The next targeted area is the middle east, with Iraq 2005, Lebanon 2005, Kuwait 2005 and of course Egypt 2011. These were all part of a series of so-called color revolutions that were in excess of 30 social revolutions with the goal of overthrowing the existing government. Many of these governments were not enemies or adversaries of the United States.

In the latest revelations from Twitter it has been revealed that the FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies have been involved in using social media around the world to inspire social discontent by using false information, and in effect, conducting psychological warfare around the world. We, of course have been told that these movements were all just domestic discontent that has risen spontaneously.  If this is true of Twitter we can bet it was much more widely used by Facebook and likely every other platform that they were granted access.

One must wonder if the social unrest in the United States in last decade has also been a result of influence and misinformation supplied by the same agencies. Has their success in these methods around the world enticed them to use the same methods on the civilian population of the United States? Is this why anyone who watches foreign policy and politics in the United States now have the feeling that you can not believe anything, unless you have first hand knowledge of its veracity?

It has been acknowledged for some time that the security state has had a practice of leaking information to selective journalists who then write stories from anonymous sources and later other journalist and even the security state themselves use those stories as evidence of their validity. These methods have been used here, it is disinformation to effect public perceptions that are false. Has the United States civilian population been subjected to physiological warfare in an effort to undermine our institutions, divide the country and create social unrest, all from actors from government agencies?  

The Russian Hoax and the other disinformation and slander that has been directed against Donald Trump, may be the most obvious view of these practices, but it seems this is just one area of disinformation being used against the citizens of this country.

Judging from past behavior we can expect the media to ignore these revelations, likely because they have been complicit, maybe willingly, in these actions. 

Hopefully these revelations will open a window to the populace to understand why we see chaos, division and social unrest in a country that has offered the greatest hope of opportunity in world history.
