Wikipedia
Barack #Obama has taken aim at "fake news" and disinformation. His words are pithy, as usual.An agent of influence is an agent of some stature who uses his or her position to influence public opinion or decision making to produce results beneficial to the country whose intelligence service operates the agent. Agents of influence are often the most difficult agents to detect, as there is seldom material evidence that connects them with a foreign power, but they can be among the most effective means of influencing foreign opinion and actions as they hold considerable credibility among the target audience.
Most commonly they serve the interests of a foreign power in one of three ways: either as a controlled agent directly recruited and controlled by a foreign power; as a "trusted contact" that consciously collaborates to advance foreign interests but are not directly recruited or controlled by a foreign power; or as a "useful idiot" that is completely unaware of how their actions further the interests of a foreign power.
NOTE: Based on Flynn's military education...we can safely exclude him as an "useful idiot"...so does money and playing to his ego talk?????
The term "agent of influence" is often used to describe both individuals and organizations engaged in influence operations. Individuals engaged in this type of influence operation may serve in the fields of journalism, government, art, labor, academia, or a number of other professional fields.
Cultural opinion makers, nationalists, and religious leaders have also been targeted to serve as individual agents of influence.
In addition to individual agents of influence, front organizations can serve the interests of a foreign power in this capacity. Some Cold War examples of front organizations serving as agents of influence included: the Christian Peace Conference, the International Organization of Journalists, the World Federation of Scientific Workers, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the International Institute for Peace, and the World Peace Council.
When individuals join such organizations in good faith but are in fact serving the interests of a foreign elite, their affiliation becomes infiltration, and cumulatively the organization serves as an agent of influence.

US has done "nothing against Russian propaganda" in recent years, dividing the West, ex-Belarus President Shushkevich says
Obama admin justified inaction on Syria for years by saying Russia 1) didn't want to get entangled in Syria 2) had always been there anyway.
In 2014 was downplaying to justify inaction on Syria: "they can't do anything"
Now overstating to justify inaction: "we can't do anything"
Pretty astonishing list of suggestions to help solve the fake news problem.Hope it's the start of something concrete

This weaponization of disinformation should have been the focus before the election. We've been sounding the alarm for months
BUT WAIT...MSM never felt it was a problem.......only social media and that social media associated to Ukraine and Syria...
Fake news spread on Facebook and social media is poison to the mind and dividing the country.

I have just moved approx. twenty-one posts on suspected Russian information operations and the recent US elections to here - they came from the Syria thread, where they did not belong.

Kremlin Trolls CI @KremlinTrolls
Evidently @AndreaChalupa's huge 300% increase in followers, from 4 - 12k in just 3wks, is not organic.
Trolls driving up the "followers" to get the account noticed by fake news and real twitter users...
Did she buy fake followers?
