Donald Trump’s former campaign chief executive and now White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon once declared, “Politics is war.” He appears to have meant it.
Bannon is on the board of a little-known consulting company called Cambridge Analytica, to which the Trump campaign paid millions of dollars during the election. In a groundbreaking report in the Guardian, journalist Carole Cadwalladr drilled deep into the chilling operations of this small company.
Within the foreign policy and national defense arenas, these types of operations are known as psychological operations or “psy-ops,” a form of mass propaganda used to manipulate the emotions of entire populations, and are a type of “cognitive warfare.”
During the presidential campaign, Cambridge Analytica engaged in a tactic called “micro-targeting,” using sophisticated data analytics and artificial intelligence to manipulate what “trended” on various social media sites and thereby to influence what users of those sites saw. Countless fake automated social media profiles on Facebook and Twitter were operated by sophisticated artificial intelligence programs to influence what did and did not “trend.”

The Clinton hate bordered on the irrational. I fully recognize that a large segment of this site supported Sanders and I have no issue with them. But the over the top Clinton attacks clearly echoed right wing talking points. Recently I reviewed my jury blacklist and found that none of them had posted since the election.
Things that make you go hmmm.
