    "And sure enough I found someone in Durham who had been… you know, a lot of North Carolina people go to the war, I found a young pilot and he said oh, that no, it was very exciting and then he went on to explain to me how the sights that they used in order to, you know, fire their smart bombs were just like the games in the arcade that he grew up with. He said, you know, no way in the world could he have had better practice than he got in those arcades to fire smart bombs. I mean, it had passed him by that the real had happened even though he was really there.

    I talked to a woman who had been on the ground, in a jeep for most of it. And she went “Oh the desert is so big and the sand…”, she said, “…but I really didn’t get a feel for until I got home and saw what my husband had taped”. Why? Because the little individual actors sink into insignificance compared to the damn spectacle of the thing. The spectacle of it. … https://youtu.be/z0MUurcsVLs?t=1339 … I mean, when humans were less important than God we could understand because he built everything. When we are less important than a Nintendo we get confused. That’s when we start thinking that we are under siege. It’s when Billy says “Oh yes, you can kill mum and dad but leave the Nintendo”, then we are rightfully upset.

    The postmodern trajectory leaves us in a situation where drawing the line between the real and the unreal is no longer merely philosophical but a practical day-to-day issue. See, this is what I want to drive home. We are not off in some fairy land, this is a practical day-to-day issue of figuring out what’s a simulation and what’s not. Is this guy really an insurance salesman or is he here to rob me? You know, I mean… this is no longer Cartesian doubt that one has to conjure up in a meditation. This is a wide radical doubt about the very ground beneath our feet and the nature of whether it’s real or not."

    decide to give up power because people are angry.

    People think being angry isn’t intentional. Repeating what I said: “social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption”

    You are all being played. You are dealing with fiction, war against reality itself that started in late 2012, early 2013. This isn’t 1930’s Germany. Everything is media ecology.

    You are so eager to oil and clean and stroke your guns that you aren’t using social media to deal with a war that started on social media in March 2013. You already know that Fox News viewers live in alternate reality, that Elon Musk Twitter consumers live in alternate reality, guns are not going to fix that. Have you learned nothing since the February 2014 invasion of Ukraine? The whole world needs to put down the absurd surreal Donald Trump amusement memes and sober up and assert fact, truth, reality and cult deprogram every member of MAGA. Terrorism comes from people who believe Heaven is a real place after death, MAGA believes in Heaven, you have to cult deprogram this or you get suicide bombers who think they are serving Jesus Trump. You have to stand up for science and real world. Guns do not fix Fox News, if you go blow up the office of Fox News, you will only make their fiction more popular. Fiction itself has to be addressed directly.

    You aren’t learning about alternate reality and the history of alternate reality warfare. You think a real gun loaded with gunpowder and bullets is going to work in “The Matrix” of fiction anti-reality social media of Donald Trump White House. By not learning and studying information warfare, you have let this go on for over a decade, stroking your gun.

    decide to give up power because people are angry.

    We The People already gave up power, intellectual power / mental power - it already happened since March 2013 by not taking information war seriously. Repeating… People think being angry isn’t intentional. Repeating what I said: “social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption”

     

    2019:
    "What Cambridge Analytica observed was that when respondents were angry, their need for complete and rational explanations was also significantly reduced. In particular, anger put people in a frame of mind in which they were more indiscriminately punitive, particularly to out-groups. They would also underestimate the risk of negative outcomes. This led Cambridge Analytica to discover that even if a hypothetical trade war with China or Mexico meant the loss of American jobs and profits, people primed with anger would tolerate that domestic economic damage if it meant they could use a trade war to punish immigrant groups and urban liberals.” ― Christopher Wylie, Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America, year 2019

     

    “The display, which was called ‘Can Democracy Survive the Internet?’ was dedicated to a ‘global election management’ company called Cambridge Analytica. Cambridge Analytica claimed to have gathered 5,000 data points on every American voter online: what you liked and what you shared on social media; how and where you shopped; who your friends were… They claimed to be able to take this imprint of your online self, use it to understand your deepest drives and desires, and then draw on that analysis to change your voting behaviour. The boast seemed to be backed up by success: Cambridge Analytica had worked on the victorious American presidential campaign of Donald Trump; it had also run successful campaigns for US Senator Ted Cruz (twice); and others all across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019

    This is not just a story about social psychology and data analytics. It has to be understood in terms of a military contractor using military strategies on a civilian population. Us. David Miller, a professor of sociology at Bath University and an authority in psyops and propaganda, says it is “an extraordinary scandal that this should be anywhere near a democracy. It should be clear to voters where information is coming from, and if it’s not transparent or open where it’s coming from, it raises the question of whether we are actually living in a democracy or not.”

    Paul and David, another ex-Cambridge Analytica employee, were working at the firm when it introduced mass data-harvesting to its psychological warfare techniques. “It brought psychology, propaganda and technology together in this powerful new way,” David tells me.

    В чем заключалась наша идея с Дональдом Трампом?

    За четыре года и два дня… необходимо было пробраться ко всем в мозг и захватить все возможные средства массового восприятия действительности. Обеспечить победу Дональда на выборах президента США. После чего создать политический союз между Соединенными Штатами, Францией, Россией (и ещё рядом других государств) и установить новый мировой порядок.

    Четыре года и два дня - это с одной стороны очень большой срок, а с другой очень маленький. Наша идея была безумна, но реализуема.

    Для того, чтобы в этом во всем разобраться для начала нужно было “оцифровать” все возможные виды современного человека.

    Дональд решил пригласить для этой задачи - специальный научный отдел “Кембриджского университета”. Британские учёные из Cambridge Analytica предложили сделать из 5 тысяч существующих человеческих психотипов - “идеальный образ” возможного сторонника Трампа. Затем… положить этот образ обратно на всё психотипы и таким образом подобрать универсальный ключик к любому и каждому.

    Разработка в итоге обошлась Дональду Фредовичу в 5 миллионов долларов. Но! Он получил в свои руки - секретное супер-оружие.

    Кто занимался таргетированной рекламой… поймёт, что это значит.

    Помните, сколько всего денег потратили фонды Клинтон и “их сторонники” на кампанию по всему миру? В 5 раз больше, чем Трамп.

    Зато, кто вложил в сетевое продвижение в 5 раз больше Хиллари и стал президентом? Тоже Дональд Трамп.

    Дальше оставалось только загрузить эти данные в информационные потоки и социальные сети. И мы стали искать тех, кто справился бы с этой задачей лучше других.

    В самом начале смельчаков и романтиков было не очень много. Пара хакерских группировок, гражданские журналисты из Викиликс и политический стратег Михаил Ковалев.

    Следующим шагом необходимо было разработать систему передачи задач и информации, чтобы никакая гэбуха и АНБ не смогли её спалить.

    Как сделать так, чтобы даже люди не говорящие на языке друг друга, могли бы обмениваться информацией быстрее всех, понимать друг друга с полуслова, чувствовать тренды и влиять на их развитие?

    На программирование такой системы ушёл примерно год. Ещё год ушёл на тесты и доработку. В итоге. За год с небольшим, мы установили “Медиафильтр” всем, кого успели подтянуть в наш заговор и 18 августа 2015 года открыли портал Трамп-2016.
