A sign telling us they are scared and will do anything?

With so many trolls floating around the net, why don't they visit us and question everything / post outrageous claims? (because they are amateurs - my feeling. And they hate their job, but want the money)

Everything here is pure lying. We are facing someone who are extremely hostile. That is not the average IRS / police / government employee. This is something else.

“Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice,” states the subtitle of her Feb. 18 column, in which she insists Harvard stop guaranteeing students and professors the right to hold controversial views and conduct research putting liberalism in a negative light.

“If our university community opposes racism, sexism, and heterosexism, why should we put up with research that counters our goals?” Korn asks.

I understand :(

On the other hand: When governmental (Khazarian/IZCS) control of media is overt people will know it all is state propaganda. When everything professors teach is polical correct the students will know they don't live in a democracy. That will be a fact, not a "conspiracy theory"

Glenn Greenwald:

Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics:

(1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and

(2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable.

To see how extremist these programs are, just consider the tactics they boast of using to achieve those ends: “false flag operations” (posting material to the internet and falsely attributing it to someone else), fake victim blog posts (pretending to be a victim of the individual whose reputation they want to destroy), and posting “negative information” on various forums.

Ok, what is their #1 goal is to discredit alternative media - so readers will put less/no credibility into them. Antidote:

• Be factual. Don't overstate the case

Abby Martin's message: Online consensus is manipulated by these false sock puppets

I agree completely they are trying to manipulate online consensus. I am less convinced they are succeeding. What is real serious is revealed on this slide:

The antidote for online manipulations?

• Know each other. Maintain a dialog with all nicks till you know them. When people know each other fake is pretty easy to root out
• Check what is being communicated, don't accept claims at face value
• Don't share anything that you will not defend as true
