12. US plans to 'fight the net' revealed
US plans to 'fight the net' revealed

By Adam Brookes
BBC Pentagon correspondent

A newly declassified document gives a fascinating glimpse into the US military's plans for "information operations" - from psychological operations, to attacks on hostile computer networks.

The document says information is "critical to military success"

Bloggers beware.

As the world turns networked, the Pentagon is calculating the military opportunities that computer networks, wireless technologies and the modern media offer.

From influencing public opinion through new media to designing "computer network attack" weapons, the US military is learning to fight an electronic war.

The declassified document is called "Information Operations Roadmap". It was obtained by the National Security Archive at George Washington University using the Freedom of Information Act.

Officials in the Pentagon wrote it in 2003. The Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, signed it.

13. PAID FORUM INFILTRATORS? YOU BET THEY EXIST!

PAID FORUM INFILTRATORS? YOU BET THEY EXIST!

I wished to pass this along to you, though perhaps you are already aware of the practice.

The post comes from a computer game-related website, but the scope surpasses just one organization.

Thank you for all you do.

Guerilla Marketing

We received the following from a young man who we will call "Mr.
Smith."

(CW)TB

Hey guys,

I interviewed for a guerilla marketing business in San Francisco
that targeted web forums.

I was told that if I accepted the job, I was to have at LEAST 50
identities on as many forums as I could muster (they wanted 100
eventually), with a goal of 5 posts an hour. The posts had to be well thought out, and the idea was that I was to establish multiple identities with a history on the forums, so that when the timing was right a well written but subtly placed marketing post could be finessed in. And regular visitors would recognize the post as coming from a long time poster.

They had 12 people working there full time, and were hiring 10
more. You do the math. No wait, I'll do it for you: that's 880 posts a day (if minimum was met). However he said the better ones could do around 8 or 10 an hour. And they had different "verticals" so there was the sports guy, and the games guy, the hentai, excuse me I mean anime guy, etc.

But the most critical point was this: develop and integrate the
identity. No random "HEY EB GAMES IS AWESOME BUY THIS" stuff.

6. Cspan never does. Cspan DOES choose the guests, however...
and I'm tired of seeing the programs...

"On one side, we have Mr. Corporations should run everything from the Heritage Foundation and on the other side, we have Mr. The Rich should pay no taxes what so ever from the American Enterprise Institute."

10. They were not, however, "involved with" WARRANTLESS snooping, in direct
defiance of the law, the way this administration is. Just another smarmy imprecise declaration by whoever this guy is, to gloss over what is really happening. I hate this shit so much.

11. I IMMEDIATELY called Wamp's office & told them he needs to stop lying on
live TV and that president Clinton has been out of office for over 5 years so stop it already. I told the lady that Wamp lied when he compared Bush's ILLEGAl warrantless wiretapping of Americans/US people to the LEGAl physical searches allowed by FISA that Clinton conducted.

GOD DAMN IT. Y'all need to call 888-818-6641 and ask for Wamp's office.

15. I Just called Wamp again: Stop lying about the NOLA schoolbuses
Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 09:35 AM by CottonBear
A racist LA caller set up Wamp for an anti-democratic/black people diatribe and he immediately launched into the tired old schoolbus evacuation lie. :grr:

EDIT: Is Wamp trying to imitate a mobster in that shiny suit?
