did i ever happen to mention that it is specifically against the law for military public affairs folks and military officials in general to plan/use Information Operations with the media as a target??

one would think that would be kind of a blanket prohibition against ANY governmental person doing so....

evidently, not so much.

The government is running false flag operations against its own citizens?  Did I read that right?

“False flag operations are covert operations which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one’s own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example during Italy’s strategy of tension.”

Remind anyone of fight the smears? How dare you speak out against the anointed one! The faults flag stuff is disturbing. Ignorance used as a weapon is just stupid.

How is it *not* illegal for the government to be pulling this on its own citizens?  That’s what I want to know.

They can be successful only if the intended targets take them seriously. 

Otherwise we stay on target to the Constitution and principles which are our goal.  Great concepts require few words, adding complexity and obfuscation generally indicate deception.

For example, the Contract from America (to congress) is relatively easy to understand and communicate to others.

I just had a thought.

How many of us are who we say we are?

Should we do some studies of our language and content to see who is real and who is a deeply planted mole like in 24?

That I know for certain, Melissa.

Having had the good fortune to meet you in person. :-D

And Bohica, too.

An article like that could cuse people to become paranoid and distrustful.  I’m thinking enough KisPers have met each other to confirm our veracity.

On the internet nobody knows you’re a dog.

Or a covert federal disinformation agent either, apparently.

that’s half the point, methinks…
