Les techniques secrètes pour contrôler les forums et l’opinion publique Attention, c'est du lourd ! Le 12 juillet dernier, le site Cryptome, sorte d'ancêtre à Wikileaks, qui publie des documents que les gouvernements et les sociétés n'aimeraient pas voir sur le net, a mis en ligne le témoignage et les explications techniques d'un ex-agent de Cointelpro. Cointelpro est une organisation US liée au FBI dont la mission était de faire de la désinformation et de foutre le bordel parmi les groupes d'activistes. Officiellement, Cointelpro a disparu en 71, mais l'organisation a juste changé de noms. Maintenant en plus d'infiltrer de manière classique des groupes d'activistes, cette ou ces organisations gouvernementales officient sur Internet pour enterrer les bad buzz et noyer le poisson sur les forums d'activistes. Le 18 juillet, ce témoignage sur Cryptome a été mis en avant sur Slashdot par un contributeur de longue date. Mais peu importe... Techniques pour manipuler les forums sur Internet Technique #1 – " FORUM SLIDING " Technique #2 – " CONSENSUS CRACKING " 1. 1.

Sheldon Adelson Is Ready to Buy the Presidency -- NYMag He just hasn’t decided which Republican candidate to back. Care to make a pitch? Photo-illustration by Darrow In a few weeks, when the nuclear deal Barack Obama negotiated with Iran comes before Congress, it’s all but certain that not a single Republican will vote in support of it. American Jews are not hard-liners on Israel. Adelson, who grew up poor in the Dorchester section of Boston and never graduated from college, made and lost several fortunes before he struck it rich for good in 1979 by developing the Las Vegas computer trade show Comdex with a few partners. As such, he is unaccustomed to being ignored. Adelson has suffered from a neurological condition affecting his legs that often confines him to an electric scooter and can make leaving Las Vegas a burden. Naturally, there are complaints about Adelson, too. And you have to be persuadable. “Sheldon’s the rare person who can afford to make a $100 million mistake,” says an occasional adviser. Bush did not budge.

MACRON CIBLE PAR LA CIA? – networkpointzero Avertissement : Cette publication est longue. Ne ratez pas sa lecture car elle vous explique comment Macron a pu arriver, en une dizaine d’années, dans les plus hautes sphères de la République, comment sa stratégie politique d’alliance gauche-droite et son programme économique néolibéral ont été décidés ailleurs qu’en France. Cet article est le fruit de recherches et d’analyses. Il fait référence à des travaux universitaires dont vous trouverez les indications en bas de page . Il est quasiment impossible d’écrire aujourd’hui sur la CIA sans se faire traiter de complotiste. Propos liminaires Quand on parle d’ingérence russe dans la campagne électorale française et qu’elle vise particulièrement Emmanuel Macron, on peut faire le postulat (pour les grincheux, ce n’est qu’un postulat!) Assange veut il nous faire comprendre que Macron a été ciblé en 2012 par la CIA comme un candidat à promouvoir et à soutenir pour les élections présidentielles de 2017 ? Peut – être. Le contexte Bon. 2.

An Interview with Richard "Hollis" Helms, Founder and CEO, Abraxas Corp. // The Entrepreneur Center @ NVTC Not to be confused with the other Richard Helms (who headed the CIA under Nixon), “Hollis” Helms was with the CIA for nearly 30 years until October 1999, including 12 years overseas in several postings in the Mideast and South Asia. He was also one of the original assignees to its Counter Terrorism Center in the mid-1980s. He started Abraxas Corp. four years ago. Bisnow on Business: This is some retirement – you left the government and became an entrepreneur. So what does Abraxas do exactly? Who would use you for what? What’s the deliverable? Choosing to put your own money up first is a risk. So you don’t believe that early money is like yeast? You really draw from the early entrepreneurial spirit of aviation. You have a product with an intriguing name: TrapWire. Is TrapWire a service or a product, or what does it look like exactly? You were the only employee at the beginning, and now you've grown to over 200. What do you think of advisory boards? Which was? What does Abraxas mean?

SOA Watch: Close the School of the Americas Revelations from a former international financier: "I was training to become a psychopath, and I failed" -- Society's Child -- Sott.net © DVM-TVRonald Bernard, a former high-powered financier who reveals the hellish world and behavior of those involved in the business of Big Money. In this time of sudden disclosures and unexpected blatant truths, where 'news' is barely distinguishable from 'fake news', it takes the utmost courage for an 'insider' to come out with the truth based on real facts. Ronald Bernard, one of the founders of 'B of Joy', is one of these courageous people who dared to tell his story in front of (DVM-TV), De Vrije Media's camera. Eventually this ended in his personal complete breakdown. Irma Schiffers, co-founder De Vrije Media. 'I'm still here and that is more than many of my former colleagues can say', says ex-currency trader Ronald Bernard in this outspoken interview. Pascal Roussel, a fellow insider of the financial world, wrote in 'The Divine Trap', about experiences similar to the ones disclosed by Ronald Bernard in this interview.

Forget PRISM: FAIRVIEW is the NSA's project to "own the Internet" According to Thomas Drake, a former National Security Agency senior executive who blew the whistle on the agency’s reckless spending and spying in 2006, a previously unknown NSA surveillance program known as FAIRVIEW aims to “own the Internet.” Last month, former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked a series of PowerPoint slides to the Washington Post and the Guardian revealing that the agency was engaged in a large-scale Internet surveillance program, dubbed PRISM, that collects Americans’ chats, emails, photos, and videos. One of the slides, only later released by the two papers, made reference to a group of additional “upstream” collection programs, including two named FAIRVIEW and BLARNEY, but gave no further details about their function. Drake, who was prosecuted under the Espionage Act for his whistleblowing, explained the upstream programs to the Daily Dot. “Upstream means you get inside the system before it’s in the Internet.

Pentagon remains stubbornly unable to account for its billions Hale, who retired in 2014, said in an interview that implementing any large-scale reform at the Pentagon, such as improving the reliability of its accounting software, “is like trying to push a block across sandpaper” because coordination is required between dozens of agencies, combatant commands, field activities, and military services. Other financial concerns, such as financing wars abroad while complying with legislated spending caps, were considered more urgent tasks, he said. But Hale said he does not question the need to reform the way the department keeps track of its spending, because electronic logs of Defense Department transactions are often old and supporting documentation is poorly organized. That means the department is unable to accurately account for its debts and credits at the end of each financial cycle, according to multiple reports from Hale’s office and the Pentagon’s Office of Inspector General. Ultimately, one of Daniel Blair’s colleagues — Lorin T.

Why Google made the NSA – INSURGE intelligence – Medium Mass surveillance is about control. It’s promulgators may well claim, and even believe, that it is about control for the greater good, a control that is needed to keep a cap on disorder, to be fully vigilant to the next threat. But in a context of rampant political corruption, widening economic inequalities, and escalating resource stress due to climate change and energy volatility, mass surveillance can become a tool of power to merely perpetuate itself, at the public’s expense. A major function of mass surveillance that is often overlooked is that of knowing the adversary to such an extent that they can be manipulated into defeat. The problem is that the adversary is not just terrorists. It’s you and me. The war machine MIIS CySec is formally partnered with the Pentagon’s Highlands Forum through an MoU signed between the provost and Forum president Richard O’Neill, while the initiative itself is funded by George C. Knowledge is Power But isn’t it obvious, really? The ‘long war’

How the CIA made Google – INSURGE intelligence – Medium In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, western governments are moving fast to legitimize expanded powers of mass surveillance and controls on the internet, all in the name of fighting terrorism. US and European politicians have called to protect NSA-style snooping, and to advance the capacity to intrude on internet privacy by outlawing encryption. One idea is to establish a telecoms partnership that would unilaterally delete content deemed to “fuel hatred and violence” in situations considered “appropriate.” Heated discussions are going on at government and parliamentary level to explore cracking down on lawyer-client confidentiality. What any of this would have done to prevent the Charlie Hebdo attacks remains a mystery, especially given that we already know the terrorists were on the radar of French intelligence for up to a decade. There is little new in this story. The shadow network The Highlands Forum The Pentagon’s intellectual capital venture firm The Club of Yoda

The Emergence of Noopolitik: Toward An American Information Strategy Strategy, at its best, knits together ends and means, no matter how various and disparate, into a cohesive pattern. In the case of a U.S. information strategy, this requires balancing the need to guard and secure access to many informational capabilities and resources, with the opportunity to achieve national aims by fostering as much openness as practicable. The authors' term to represent such strategic balancing is guarded openness. They go on to describe noopolitik (nu-oh-poh-li-teek)--an emerging form of statecraft that emphasizes the importance of sharing ideas and values globally, principally through the exercise of persuasive soft power rather than traditional military hard power. This report is part of the RAND Corporation monograph report series. The monograph/report was a product of the RAND Corporation from 1993 to 2003. The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis.

The Dangerous Deception Called The Trump Presidency The project called the Trump Presidency has just two months before its formal beginning. Yet already the hopes and fantasies of much of the world are making him into something and someone Donald Trump most definitely is not. Donald Trump is yet another project of the same boring old patriarchs who try again and again to create a one world order that they control absolutely, a New World Order that one close Trump backer once referred to as universal fascism. Ignore the sometimes fine rhetoric in some of his speeches. Talk is cheap. ‘Ladies and gentlemen, It’s Showtime!’ Often during this election campaign, which was more a Hollywood “D” grade movie than any honest debate of policies and ideas candidate Trump made statements that resonated with the “silent majority” of not only so-called blue collar workers, but also the disenfranchised middle class whose earnings have been declining in real terms since the 1970’s. Is Trump a Grassroots Revolution? The dramatis personae F.

The Rand Corporation: The Think Tank That Controls America By Alex Abella If you think the Internet came out of Silicon Valley, that NASA planned the first satellite to orbit Earth, or that IBM created the modern computer—think again. Each one of these breakthroughs was conceived at RAND, a shadowy think tank in Santa Monica, California. The Intimidation Factor Rand rose out of the ashes of World War II. After a few short months, RAND got the attention of academics, politicians, and military strategists alike by issuing a prophetic study called "Preliminary Design of an Experimental World-Circling Spaceship Although President Truman passed on the space station, the military fell in love with RAND. By the 1960s, America's rivals were paying attention. War Games The Soviets had good reason to worry about RAND. By the early 1960s, RAND had established itself as a fixture of U.S. policy. One high-profile RAND genius, John Williams, developed game theory to predict how the cagey Soviet Union might act during conflict. Spinning a World Wide Web
