Dear dumb as a rock @realDonaldTrump: The news media LOVES that you use social media. It jacks up their ratings & helps Special Counsel.
As @dlippman has reported in the past, some news orgs have quietly been ramping up security over past year. Trump tweet is partly why.
@SHSanders45 3 days ago: "The President in no way form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence."
BUT WAIT.........appears it is OK for the President of the US to "act out"....this is the work of a juvenile...not even an adult.....

.@ananavarro on Trump's CNN tweet: "It is an incitement to violence. He is going to get someone killed in the media."
WELCOME to the new Trump world of dismantling US democracy and he is on the way of achieving this main goal in the name of Russian non linear war against the US...
"The speed with which we're recapitulating the decline and fall of Rome is impressive. What took Rome centuries we're achieving in months," tweeted Bill Kristol, a conservative commentator and editor-at-large of The Weekly Standard.
Russia was behind global cyber attack, Ukraine says
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...a7819501.html#
Ahead of the first Putin-Trump meeting, Russian State TV says this about Donald Trump:
"We don't know what he's thinking or preparing."
"Some WH advisers said that they were frustrated the Brzezinski feud overtook the president’s fight with CNN."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...67af8b#…
Backdrop this against POTUS aides insisting he wants to talk about policy and media isn't interested
NOW Trump and his supporters are openly preaching "a social war".....
The head of the NRA said: "academic elites, political elites, and media elites. These are America’s greatest domestic threats"
BUT WAIT..I thought it was those "radical Islamic terrorists"....
1. Mao bragged, "Emperor Shih Huang of the China Dynasty.. had buried alive 460 scholars only, but we have buried alive 46,000 scholars."
2. The Khmer Rouge murdered anyone who wore eyeglasses on the assumption that they could read and were an intellectual
3. Franco was violently anti-intellectual, which is why your favorite writers were all off fighting the Spanish civil war.
4. The Night of the Long Batons where libraries were burnt, and academics ousted from housing ushered in Onganía's dictatorship in Argentina
5. "When I hear the word culture I reach for my revolver." (By Nazi playwright Hanns Johst.)
6. Lenin's regime began by exiling 220 prominent intellectuals on "philosopher's ships."
Russian TV still sympathetic to Donald Trump. Anchor Dmitry Kiselev says POTUS is suffering "ferocious pressure" & "unprecedented hounding".
A Foreign Service Officer just told me "Tillerson is tired, frustrated and very unhappy.
It's not a question of if he leaves but when".
WHY.....US FP is being driven by Bannon and Trump's son-in-law.......
Someone should do an analysis of American companies doing business in Russia, especially in energy, and donating to House GOP leadership and to the Trump campaign.
The list would be rather long and would surprise a lot of people as well as the sheer amounts of money beig passed around....
Trumps meme actually came from Reddit.....REALLY worth reading ..........
Trump's CNN body-slam video appears to have gained traction from a controversial Reddit user
http://www.businessinsider.de/trump-...ffer&r=US&IR=T
Reminder: 28 people were injured in a shooting at an Arkansas club.Quote:
On Sunday morning, the Reddit user celebrated that Trump had tweeted out his meme: "Wow!! I never expected my meme to be retweeted by the God Emporer himself!!!"
Many in the subreddit, which has over 441,000 members, took it as validation that the president reads the pro-Trump community that has long promoted alt-right views attacking Islam, minorities, and immigrants. HanA--holeSolo is a frequent participant of such conversations.
In the past, r/The_Donald's have aggressively gamed Reddit's algorithms to see pro-Trump content rise to the top of the site, and have sometimes engaged in abusive behavior against the volunteer moderators and members of other communities on the site — causing significant disruption. In December, Reddit promised reforms to crack down on its most abusive members in the wake of attacks on its CEO.
POTUS has attacked the media again. He remains silent on the shooting.
This is the guy who created the meme Trump tweeted out today. Trump's making him a celebrity in his online circles.
BREAKING: Twitter declares Trump's tweet depicting him brutally assaulting "CNN" is within its Terms of Service. All journalists, take note.
Twitter lack of actions in the face of automated bots being used in information warfare and used by Russian trolls SOMEHOW never gets addressed.....
Maybe it is that Russian oligarch investment into Twitter of 800M USDs....
Opinion: "You can never be sure of anything that comes out of this White House. Except the cruelty."

AND the Trump ME FP is again what......
BREAKING - Saudi government sources state there are internal demands to invade Qatar to "liberate it from the al-Thani family rule"
Trump has brilliantly changed the subject from “Is he a Russian intelligence asset” to “Is he a dangerously violent lunatic?"
Following a number of posts I have closed this thread to enable a review, which may take a couple of days.
What is the theme here, the arena clearly shows this:SWJ's Forum is not for political discussion; there are I expect being on "this side of the pond" many places in the USA that cater for that and I exclude Twitter etc. That is one reason we have survived and have considerable value to the 'Small Wars' community.Quote:
Politics In the Rear National will and developments back home for the intervening nations.
We aim to be an 'online discussion board', not for individual(s) to dominate.
Posts that refer to 'national will' etc should be retained, pending re-opening. If they appear elsewhere on SWJ they will be deleted.
It seems that some at SWJ feel that the use by Russian info warfare is one discussion item BUT the use by the US President of the same tactics as the Russians and the intertwining of US al right ie white nationalist bots, and bot nets is not a discussion basis.....
The accusations of Russian collusion whole still being investigated and not commented on by FBI SC Mueller although there are now 140 FBI investigators and 16 top flight Federal prosecutors should say a lot more than it seems to say to many Americans.
BUT the threat and use of info warfare by Trump and his alt right supporters is just as dangerous as the use of Russian info warfare directed at the US.....
RMEMBER Russian info warfare is composed of two key cornerstones....
1. cyber warfare
2. info warfare
Here's an interesting thread - folks at /r/The_Donald discussing/helping one another with bot creation.
https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/...tting/#…
NOTE...Trump twitter account "Followers" has increased 100,000 in under 24 hours...all automated bots created, paid for and managed not in the US....
Pro-Trump Twitter operatives market paid tweets
http://politi.co/2ug4ozs
In order to fully understand Russian non linear warfare which actually supports Russian political warfare in this case fully directed at the US you must understand the eight phases of Russian non linear warfare....
BUT the two key elements that support the eight phases we are seeing right now in the US.....and in Europe
1. cyber warfare
2. information warfare .....information warfare also has two parts
a. weaponizing information in general meaning...completely distorting the term "Truth".....to actually mean to people FAKE.....or "alternative truth"
b. weaponizing social media ie FB, Instrgram, Reddit, Twitter etc.
Only when one fully understands the above and is fully able to process that say the President of the US has roughly 18M non human "Followers"...then you understand Russian non linear warfare.....Quote:
The Russian non linear warfare has eight distinct phases. The first and second phases consist of non-military asymmetric warfare. They include information warfare, psychological, ideological, diplomatic, and economic measures, but also special operations conducted to mislead political and military leaders. Coordinated measures are carried out by diplomatic channels, media, top government and military agencies; they include leaking false data, orders, directives, and instructions. The third phase’s objective is to consolidate the first two, by intimidating, deceiving, or bribing government and military officers, with the objective of making them abandon their duties. The fourth phase is the one including the “polite green men”. It encompasses destabilizing propaganda to increase discontent among the population, boosted by the arrival of bands of militants to escalate subversion. Only with the fifth phase military action per se begins, although still in an indirect way. It consists of establishing no-fly zones over the country to be attacked, imposing blockades, and extensively using private military companies in close cooperation with armed opposition units. This is as far as events have progressed in Ukraine at this moment.
The sixth phase is the beginning of employing direct military measures, with large-scale reconnaissance and subversive missions, including but not limited to special operations forces. The seventh phase is a combination of targeted information campaign, electronic warfare, and aerospace operations, combined with the use of high-precision weapons (long-range artillery, possibly weapons based on new physical principles, including microwaves, radiation/radiology, non-lethal biological weapons). The eighth phase’s aims are to roll over the remaining points of resistance and destroy surviving enemy units.
If you fully understand and can actually see Trump and proTrump voters conducting info war even in the US against all those that do not support Trump......THEN you fully understand Russian non linear warfare.....THIs though requires one to jump over a shadow...the shadow that yes even Americans can be and are willingly controlled by Russian propaganda and misinformation....no questions asked.
And that is inherently dangerous for US democracy.......and the core question is how is that possible.....

In some neighborhoods of the internet, all it takes to start a conspiracy theory is Photoshop, a webcam, and confidence. Susli—aka PartisanGirl—has thrived in that environment, parlaying a college chemistry degree and a series of conspiracy-minded YouTube videos into a new kind of internet authority. But when conspiratorial musings bubble up into the mainstream web or cable news, it’s not because Don Lemon or Ashleigh Banfield took PartisanGirl seriously. To make it in the major leagues, a conspiracy theory—or any other kind of hoax—has to find a voice with a mainstream claim to credibility. A voice like Postol's.

“It is beyond stupid." Experts warn Trump voter-fraud panel’s data request a gold mine for hackers

Is it not strange that a Republican contractor...SCL...located in UK and formerly owned by Bannon Trump's special advisor and then sold to the Mercer family that owns big data company Cambridge Analytica also parked in UK posted the voting data and personal data of 200M US voters unsecured on an Amazon cloud server for 21 days and then it got "stolen".......
BTW..no one and that includes SCL "knows" who stole the data......
AND not a single MSM loud cry .......nothing but silence BUT this voter data with far less persoanl information get massive MSM coverage?????
Can anyone explain just why it is that Trump tends to use the same tactics as Russian info warfare especially the Russian 6Ds Propaganda Principles.....
Distort...Deflect...Distract...Dismiss...ALL designed to create Doubt and Distrust.......
So in this set of Trump tweets.......how many of the 6Ds is Trump actually using?????
Why does a US President Resort to Russian info war tactics????

Why is it important to understand the Russian non linear warfare...Putin has three strategic geo political goals in his political war with the US....
1. damage and discredit NATO
2. damage and discredit EU
3. completely disconnect the Us from ME and Europe........
A possible fourth goal...completely disconnect US from Germany....
With that in mind...does in fact Trump assist Putin in achieving these goals...????
Valid point in that he drives his tweets as a form of info warfare using the Russian 6Ds Propaganda Principles of ......
Distract......Distort...Deflect...Dismiss.......AL L designed to create Doubt and Distrust......
When reading his tweets always ask which of the 6Ds is Trump using and what is the "narrative" he is trying to establish.....
Facebook admits they were a vector for Putin's elect-Trump intelligence operation.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook...-manipulation/ …
I keep posting on the fundmental elements of the Russian non linear warfare and information warfare as the Russians truly believe that through cyber operations and info warfare they can actually shift the belief patterns of an entire society...
What was employed by the GOP using "big data2 was is referred to as "voting social engineering" and it was carried out by the Trump son-in-law via an IT company in San Antonio using input from two UK big data companies SCL and Cambridge Analytica...both owned to a degree by Trump special advisor Bannon before he sold them to the billionaire trump supporter Mercer...Bannon still sits on their boards....

With a strong candidate in @POTUS & @GOP revolutionary data program, Republicans carried WI for 1st time in 30 years
http://host.madison.com/ct/news/loca...a66af71cb.html
This GOP data concept involved the targeted use of specific social media narratives much in the Russian vain of using trolls and automated bots to push a propaganda narrative.....Quote:
The data program was especially helpful in October, when the party noticed that Trump had lost ground in Wisconsin compared to the previous month#— and specifically targeted voters who had drifted away in an effort to bring them back, Parnitzke said.
That wouldn't have been possible without a "voter scores" data operation that has been built, expanded and refined over the course of each election since it was launched after Democratic President Barack Obama's re-election in 2012.
REMEMBER....it was SCL that suddenly "lost 200M US voter datasets" on an unsecured Amazon could server..."lost to whom2 is not known at this time nor is SCL talking about it....
REMEMBER both SCL and CA are under FBI SC Mueller investigation reference the Russian hacking of the election and of 21 State voting databases......and the potential theft of information from a US healthcare company....
If Trump doesn't raise election interference with Putin, he's inviting more in 2018
http://wapo.st/2uDkhis?tid=ss_tw-bot....b8ff146e0049#
Currently the US still has not seen the Trump promised within 90 days cyber defense plan.....NOR has Trump actually openly and publicly stated yes he knows Russia hacked the US election and voting databases in 21 states.....
Maine Secretary of State, who serves on Trump election commission, refuses to turn over voter data to Kris Kobach. 40+ states now resisting
AND from the current leader of the KKK who is totally peaceful and does not utter a single word of hate.....or racism...or is anti Muslim .......or anti immigrant....and this is not propaganda??

@DrDavidDuke
I have literally been the target of "Journalist" terrorism for 50yrs. The climate of hated/violence your profession has created is shameful.
The leader of the KKK critiquing journalists for attacking the KKK....
Information warfare comes in various colors and forms.....US or Russian and lately they are sharing the same goals for some strange reason....
CNN is reporting that Trump won’t raise Russia’s attempt to throw our election when he meets Putin, even though Russia will try again in ’18
This is interesting for a number of reasons and gives maybe some insight into why individuals tend to say go "alt right" in an attempt to impress and or in an existing group of like believers...
Actually an excellent example of why and how "propaganda and or disinformation" works via influence......
REMEMBER the Trump CNN video...it came from a sub Reddit account T_Donald which is a heavy proTrump account similar to many alt right ie white nationalist proTrump twitter accounts.....
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politi...cid=spartanntp
Trump takes down CNN in mock fight video
So exactly what affected this end user to go "alt right" in order to impress and join a so called like minded group.......Quote:
Han***holeSolo, the Reddit user behind the now-famous video showing Trump body-slamming the CNN logo, apologized#Tuesday in a post on the website.
In a lengthy post on the popular social media site, Solo apologized for past anti-Semitic posts, and to CNN for the video.
"I would like to apologize to the members of the Reddit community for getting this site and this sub embroiled in a controversy that should never have happened," Solo wrote.
"I would also like to apologize for the posts made that were racist, bigoted, and anti-semitic. I am in no way this kind of person, I love and accept people of all walks of life and have done so for my entire life."
What were the series of bot tweets and or narratives that "spoke to him" to push him into this area that he claims he never was in????
That is why the Russian and now Trump influence operations are so effective....
NOW couple that with "big data" and the concept of "voting social engineering" and information operations that push such social media messaging and narratives....targeting end users such as above....
AND further.....
BUT here is where I seriously doubt what he is actually saying.....Quote:
"The meme was created purely as#satire, it was not meant to be a call to violence against CNN or any other news affiliation," they wrote.#"I had no idea anyone would take it and put sound to it and then have it put up on the President's Twitter feed."
Solo went on, calling trolling an "addiction" and urging other Redditors to reject bullying.
"Trolling is nothing more than bullying a wide audience," they wrote. "Don't feed your own self-worth based upon inflicting suffering upon others online just because you are behind a keyboard."
"We as#redditors#and as Americans are better than this."
The Reddit user also wrote that despite the meme's content, they have respect for the First Amendment and reporters.
"Our first amendment protects the press from things like violence, and we as American citizens should respect that even if the opinions of the press are not in line with our own," Solo wrote.
"I have the highest respect for the journalist community and they put their lives on the line every day with the jobs that they do in reporting the news."
WHY...this same individual immediately after it was known that Trump had used his meme.......he "boasted" on the same site "the Great Imperial Emperor2 had used his meme and he was honoured by that.....and was cheered on by those on this specific Reddit site.....
BTW he used the term trolling.....an interesting comment which I will comment on later...
MORE examples of just how Trump uses social media much as the Russian's use social media.....for propaganda and disinformation or in this case...just outright lies.....

@realDonaldTrump
Gas prices are the lowest in the U.S. in over ten years! I would like to see them go even lower.
What is the "narrative" that he is trying to create..."see I as President have been in a short period able to lower your personal gase price to level never seen in the last ten years"....REMEMBER he keeps repeating over and over "I have achieved far more in a short period than any other President"...meant here is Obama....THUS Trump tweets like this are designed to re-enforce that "narrative".....
When "fake" is being used...the user attempts to use a tad bit of "truth"..in this case current gas prices to establish the tweet as "valid truth"...
The target audience then picks it up and uses it to justify their own world views as it "fits nicely" into that world view...
WHAT is though not told the target audience is actually the missing piece of information that would indicate what they are reading is in fact "fake and or a blatant lie"....
The user of this type of propaganda whether Russian and or Trump counts on the fact that the reader and or target audience will never see the counter balancing "truth"....
THUS we see an "alternative truth" being created and used in the place of straight simple facts that anyone can check and use....
NOW one can see how social media is being used as a form of "weaponized information" by both Russians and Trump......there is no difference between the two.....

NOTICE the CNN statement........they would "unmask" the name only if the individual violates his own apology....
WL "unmasks" names every time they release Russian hacked emails.....
IMPORTANT NOTE
One just needs to see how many Federal prosecutors on the SC Mueller Russian Trump investigation team have been directly involved in US Russian organized crime court cases and how many of these prosecutors speak Russian to understand one part of the SC Mueller investigation of Trump, his family and his associates....
It has always been...criminal meaning money laundering, collusion and cover up....
We are way way past anything that was conducted by Nixon during WaterGate....as it involves an outside foreign power....that is directly conducting a political war with the US using non linear warfare tactics....
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND......
NRA just released a new ad....that is part authoritarian, part incitement to violence, part call for a physical civil war against liberals.
BUT no apology is being issued for this alleged call to violence.....

SIDE NOTE:
Orchestrated efforts to discredit the US MSM media often precede bad news for Trump/assoc's
There is a serious rumint out there since yesterday that in fact Washington Post is sitting on a major breaking story tying Trump to Russia that they are holding back due to IS requests to not complicate the SC Mueller investigation then they will be allowed to publish the story....contains an audio tape of Trump and others....

In 2012, Preston invited Torshin to observe voting in Nashville, Tennessee during the presidential election. Both men claimed that they saw violations of U.S. law — while holding that Russian elections, in contrast, are free and fair.
Senior CNN Executive "The fake news campaign has been remarkably effective. 1/3 of America had been brainwashed, and nothing will change their minds

Auschwitz Memorial condemns Rep. Clay Higgins for filming homeland security video inside gas chamber at death camp: "It's not a stage"
http://abcn.ws/2unZY9M
Quote:
Just in time for Independence Day, U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, R-Port Barre, has a video message for America. But instead of visiting constituent cookouts, shooting off fireworks and waving the United States flag, Higgins delivers a stark dispatch from the Nazis' Auschwitz concentration camp at Oswiecim, Poland.
"A great sense of dread comes over you in this place," Higgins says, leading the viewer on a five-minute, nine-second tour of the site, with a dirge-like solo violin playing in the background. "Man's inhumanity to man can be quite shocking."
The Auschwitz Memorial's official Twitter account said there should be "mournful silence" inside the gas chamber, where Higgins recorded part of his five-minute video.
"This is why homeland security must be squared away, why our military must be invincible," says Higgins, a former law enforcement officer#who serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. "The world's a smaller place now than it was in World War II. The United States is more accessible to terror like this, horror like this.
"It's hard to walk away from the gas chambers and ovens without a very sober feeling of commitment -- unwavering commitment -- to make damn sure that the United States of America is protected from the evils of the world."

Investigators explore if Russia colluded with pro-Trump sites during US election
Questions raised as to whether Trump supports coordinated with Moscow to spread bogus stories aimed at discrediting Hillary Clinton
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...illary-clinton
Quote:
The spread of Russian-made fake news stories aimed at discrediting Hillary Clinton on social media is emerging as an important line of inquiry in multiple investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
Investigators are looking into whether Trump supporters and far-right websites coordinated with Moscow over the release of fake news, including stories implicating Clinton in murder or paedophilia, or paid to boost those stories on Facebook.
The head of the Trump digital camp, Brad Parscale, has reportedly been summoned to appear before the House intelligence committee looking into Moscow’s interference in the 2016 US election. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee carrying out a parallel inquiry, has said that at least 1,000 “paid internet trolls working out of a facility in Russia” were pumping anti-Clinton fake news into social media sites during the campaign.
"The spread of fake news aimed @ discrediting HRC is emerging as an impt line of inquiry in multiple SC Mueller FBI investigations"Quote:
In a 30-day period, dozens of full-blown sites appeared overnight, running full level productions posts. It screamed out to me that something strange was going on,” Mattes said. Much of the material was untraceable, but he tracked 40% of the new postings back to eastern Europe.
Four of the Facebook members posting virulent and false stories about Clinton (suggesting, for example, that she had profited personally by arming Islamic State extremists) had the same name, Oliver Mitov. They all had a very small number of Facebook friends, including one which all four had in common. When Mattes tried to friend them and contact them there was no reply.
