Using social media to influence populations and individual

is one of the current evolutionary paths of the intersection of psychological research with marketing and advertising. A couple of new videos came out this week that can be used to help understand current methodologies and reduce there impact on ourself and those close to us.

Patrick Bergy giving an elevator version of his participation in creating and implementing ShadowNet while in Iraq. The private version became commercially available in I believe 2007. The full interview 1s about an hour. I can listen comfortably at a 1.5 speed. This is started at 9:33 for those who want to only have time to listen a little.

Shorter version in a blog he wrote in 2018.

IIA is just as capable of covert, anonymized tactical social media targets as it is using overtly with an organization like the PAO. If you want to know what we did, you'll have to submit a FOIA request. Good luck with that. The Dynology promotional slick made after we took the application from the battlefield to commercial clients. The difference between commercial clients and the military is where you will find some of the deepest, darkest depths of the DC swamp.

(IIA = interactive internet activities, PAO = Public Affairs Office not sure , FOIA = Freedom of Information Act)

The documentary ShadowGate was released last night on youtube describing ShadowNet capabilities used by government and political entities. The technology, capabilities and applications are explained in normal language not techno speak. Full disclosure: Interestingly it appears the lead reporter was arrested today and she does work for an Alex Jones business.

Glimpses of useful insights sometimes comes from unexpected places, the narrower our focus the the easier it is to control and influence our actions.

focusing on media control with Max Blumenthal. About 40 min that go by pretty fast.

We are victims of media platforms. Look forward to exploring shadowgate.

All the best!

@Lookout is one of the subtle ways to exert control the narrative and messengers. Good conversation to add to this subject.

Catching up a bit on my backlog of outside projects. Today is over 100 so decided to spend it inside with air conditioning.

I watched the Shadow Gate video Friday afternoon, and then again Fri night because of all the acronyms and names (I'm good with neither).

Gotta admit, I was initially turned off by what started off sounding like Blue Team bad, Red Team good; but, it certainly didn't end up that way, and I'm glad I pushed through. I'm still a little confused about how they said the dark government doing all the shuffling of info and spreading of false information, didn't want Hillary to win either.

Also, Mark Zuckerberg isn't the only scumbag, but he's up there with the best of them, and is still playing his game, just not as overtly as someone like kos. Overtly, I guess to folks here, but not so much to the non front pagers there.

@Deja

I just saw the movie and the arrest was trending yesterday so I don't know the details on this yet. But it looks like something might be there.

Infowars reporter Millie Weaver ‘arrested’ mid-premiere of her whistleblowing investigation into ‘shadow government’

Investigative reporter Millie Weaver and her husband have reportedly been arrested at the same time her documentary on the US “shadow government” was being screened on YouTube, sending Conservative Twitter into theory overdrive.

Weaver’s “arrest” at the couple’s home – which has yet to be confirmed by authorities – was initially reported by Infowars on Friday, shortly after the YouTube premiere of her documentary film “ShadowGate.” The film purports to expose the secrets of the massive ‘Deep State’ intelligence apparatus manipulating politics within the US and beyond its borders, based on the reports of two private intelligence whistleblowers.

Video of the couple’s apparent arrest, shot by Weaver herself, was posted to Twitter by her Infowars colleague Adan Salazar, opening on Weaver asking in disbelief if “a grand jury indicted [her].”

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

@snoopydawg The impeachment was all kabuki theater.
Therefore, why would these shadowgaters be going to all that trouble to impeach someone who is actually on their side?

Only in Alex Jones' universe is Trump not a neocon.

This whole thing has been one weird incident after another, but all coincidental, cough, cough, wink, wink.

Toresays dot com site was taken down last I checked today. I was hoping for updates on Millie, her husband, brother and CPS trying to take the kids. I've read that Millie has been released. That's all I know. I figured I could find out from Tore's site, but no. I really don't want to have to go to Alex Jones to find out. (Ran across a comment on Reddit that said Alex and Bill Hicks are the same person and I nearly puked. There's not much left to live for if that's the case lol.)

@Deja Over the last few years this concept and capabilities of influencing people and communities via social media has expanded to business, politics, criminal enterprises and other other intelligence agencies. We usually only become aware of the influence sometime after the original events, such as how the petroleum industry has been shaping the discussion on climate to effect governments and buying patterns for decades.

It is disheartening to see how individuals are still locked in pattern thinking as a default, such as Blue Team bad, Red Team good even after noticing their "team" members were harming Americans for profit. Patrick Bergy during the interviewed by John Oloughlin appears to have no remorse for for innocent Iraqi's lives destroyed by the software he helped develop. He was angry it was being used on Americans and Fox news personnel were not as virtuous as he imagined.

The conflict of not wanting Hillary to win appeared to be more of a personnel grudge by General James Logan Jones Jr. He had been offered the position of Secretary of State by Obama, was replaced without notification by Hillary and instead became head of National Security Agency.

Not sure what you are requesting be posted. Perhaps a list of the abbreviations and acronyms used in the documentary?
