How Covert Agents Infiltrate the Internet to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations
A page from a GCHQ top secret document prepared by its secretive JTRIG unit
"One of the many pressing stories that remains to be told from the Snowden archive is how western intelligence agencies are attempting to manipulate and control online discourse with extreme tactics of deception and reputation-destruction. It’s time to tell a chunk of that story, complete with the relevant documents.
Over the last several weeks, I worked with NBC News to publish a series of articles about “dirty trick” tactics used by GCHQ’s previously secret unit, JTRIG (Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group). These were based on four classified GCHQ documents presented to the NSA and the other three partners in the English-speaking “Five Eyes” alliance.

I can think of one that was discovered to be a con artist with multiple AKA off FR. Very good at their chosen vocation

I can always tell them by the way they react or try to redirect the investigations to a “nothing is going on, it is business as usual”.
I am convinced that the trolls on the education threads are paid operatives. I refused to engage them.
If the paid operatives are paid with tax money, isn’t that illegal Glimmers coming from the Nixon era ....
The discerning can see who the disruptors are.
Zullo and Arpaio’s upcoming press conference will be ... interesting.
You did the right thing from the git-go.
If u don’t feed em, they starve... trolls that is.
indeed, some are smarter and more subtle than others. But none of them are careful or hardworking enough to create an adequate history. But it is tedious to suspect a troll, and sit and read back through his previous posts.
Or they could just be folks who are fed up with your insulting their kids.
Nah... that would be too simple.
Mrs. JimRed frequently check online restaurant reviews when thinking about trying a new one. I, the skeptic, suspect that the glowing reviews are by the restaurant staff, management and their families, while the bad ones are by competitors’ management, staff and families. When a place is really superior and word gets out, you can’t get in when you want to, so why would I call in more diners?
How do they pay, and how do you get the job? We could mess with 'em from the inside!
I will not be responding to your comments. Of course you can always stalk me, if you choose.
So you have stated before, yet you continue to do so.
Of course you can always stalk me, if you choose.
Yes, thanks, I think I shall.
