Yes indeed mate and thanks to the 2012 'alterations' of the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act the U.S. taxpayers are now actively funding their own propagandist indoctrination and brainwashing - it would all be pretty hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.
Really would like to know who was directly responsible for that 'amendment' and where the buck actually stopped.
Anyway the link is long gone but your post did remind me of this quote from Psy-Ops research.
Quote:• "It is the general strategy of the ruling establishment to weaponize the ignorance of the masses in order to better control populations and in order to mobilize the masses in service of agendas that are not in the best interests of the citizenry."
Also thought this video deserved a spot on the thread as it deals with the real time reality of well funded 'internet trolls' in the form of government CoIntelPro disinfo agents and intel operative shills.
Quote:Government plans to monitor and influence internet communications, and covertly infiltrate online communities in order to sow dissension and disseminate false information, have long been the source of speculation.
Harvard Law Professor Cass Sunstein, a close Obama adviser and the White House’s former head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, wrote a controversial paper in 2008 proposing that the US government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-”independent” advocates to “cognitively infiltrate” online groups and websites, as well as other activist groups.
Sunstein also proposed sending covert agents into “chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups” which spread what he views as false and damaging “conspiracy theories” about the government.
