#12   It's in German, sorry.

According to Amazon, the English translation is currently unavailable, who h just means some work finding it. Usually the author has some extra copies lying about in such cases.

#11  Read "Journalists for Hire: How the CIA Buys the News"
by Udo Ulfkotte, former editor at FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). It's in German, sorry.

Also Glenn Greenwald's explanation of how the security agencies spread fake news: "One large news outlet publishes a false story based on whispers from anonymous security state agents with the CIA or FBI, and then other news outlets quickly purport that they have “independently confirmed” the false story, in order to bolster its credibility (oh, it must be true since other outlets have also confirmed it).

"This is an obvious scam — they have not “independently confirmed” anything but rather merely acted as servants to the same lying security state agents who planted the original false story — but they do it over and over, creating the deceitful perception that a fake story has been "confirmed” by multiple outlets, thus bolstering its credibility in the public mind. It was the favored tactic for spreading debunked Russiagate frauds and is still used."

#10  "Is that JTRIG gobbledygook document authentic?"

Of course it is! Who else but an intel community plodder would stuff 50 PowerPoint slides with hundreds of meaningless social science jargon?

And now, class, to prep for your quiz: go to Slide #12 and memorize the 179 ACNO Key Skill Strands and assign them properly into the 17 categories of Behavior and the 13 categories of Influence and 7 Meta-Categories of Flat vs. Polycategorical vs Hierarchical Ontological Belief Systems!

#5  If we ever have another pub prexident and he / she does not gouge out the "five eyes" for what they did to Trump, I will stop caring how crooked our elections are.

#4  Really? The head of the Horse Guards, what the GCHQ, used to be called IIRC, waxing contemptuous about "How those silly wogs play at war!" -- how novel! (/sarc)

#3   It's beyond ridiculous to act like the President of Russia is unaware of the situation. He's more aware than we are.

Yes, the Putin worshippers of the US extreme right won't be happy seeing their hero's evil exposed.

If Putin is overthrown, they always have Orban to get on their knees to.

#2  Dead civilians piling up everywhere. Russian murderers leaving their angry calling cards. I doubt they'll be returning. Russian units participating in such activity have surely been identified. Going back into that region...very bad juju.

Just my two farthings worth.

#1  The trolls are gonna hate this.
If Putin was frustrated about the fighting in Donbas, he's going to hate the results of the invasion. Ukraine will be like a giant Gaza Strip.
