If a very sensitive posting of a critical nature has been posted on a forum - it can be quickly removed from public view by forum sliding" In this technique a number of unrelated posts are quietly prepositioned on the forum and allowed to age. Each of these misdirectional forum postings can then be called upon at will to trigger a forum slide The second requirement is that several fake accounts exist which can be called upon to ensure that this technique is not exposed to the public. To trigger a forum slide and lush the critical post out of public view it is simply a matter of logging into each account both real and fake and then replying to prepositined postings with a simple 1 or 2 line comment This brings the unrelated postings to the top of the forum list and the cntical posting slides down the front page and quickly out of public view Although it is difficult or impossible to censor the posting it is now lost in a sea of unrelated and unuseful postings By this means it becomes effective to keep the readers of the forum reading unrelated and non-issue items
Technique #2 - 'CONSENSUS CRACKING
A second highly effective technique (which you can see in operation all the time at www.abovetopsecret.com) is consensus cracking To develop a consensus crack, the following technique is used Under the guise of a fake account a posting is made which looks legitimate and is towards the truth is made - but the entical point is that it has a VERY WEAK PREMISE without substantive proof to back the posting Once this is done then under alternative fake accounts a very strong position in your favour is slowly introduced over the life of the posting It is IMPERATIVE that both sides are initially presented so the uninformed reader cannot determine which side is the truth As postings and replies are made the stronger evidence or disinformation in your favour is slowly seeded in Thus the uninformed reader will most like develop the same position as you, and if their position is against you their opposition to your posting will be most likely dropped However in some cases where the forum members are highly educated and can counter your disinformation with real facts and linked postings, you can then abort the consensus cracking by initiating a Yorum slide.
Technique #3 - TOPIC DILUTION
Topic dilution is not only effective in forum sliding it is also very useful in keeping the forum readers on unrelated and non-productive issues. This is a critical and useful technique to cause a RESOURCE BURN By implementing continual and non-related postings that distract and disrupt trolling the forum readers they are more effectively stopped from anything of any real productivity. If the intensity of gradual dilution is intente enough, the readers will effectively stop researching and simply slip into a gossip mode. In this state they can be more easily mis directed away from facts towards uninformed conjecture and opinion The less informed they are the more effective and easy it becomes to control the entire group in the direction that you would desire the group to go in It must be stressed that a proper assessment of the paychological capabilities and levels of education is first determined of the group to determine at what level to drive in the wedoe. Bv beino too far off fooi too ouickly it may tracer censorship by a forum moderator
Technique 4 - INFORMATION COLLECTION
Information collection is also a very effective method to determine the psychological level of the forum members, and to gather intelligence that can be used against them in this technique in a light and positive environment a show you mine so me yours posting is initiated. From the number of replies and the answers that are provided much statistical information can be gathered An example is to post your favourite weapon and then encourage other members of the forum to showcase what they have. In this matter it can be determined by reverse proration what percentage of the forum community owns a firearm, and or a illegal weapon This same method can be used by posing as one of the form members and posting your favourite technique of operation. From the replies various methods that the group utilizes can be studied and effective methods developed to stop them from their activities
Technique #5 - 'ANGER TROLLING
Statistically there is always a percentage of the forum posters who are more inclined to violence in order to determine who these individuals are. it is a requirement to present a image to the forum to deliberately incite a strong psychological reaction. From this the most violent in the group can be effectively singled out for reverse IP location and possibly local enforcement tracking. To accomplish this only requires posting a link to a video depicting a local police officer massively abusing his power against a very innocent individual. Statistically of the million or so police offices in America there is always one or two being caught abusing there powers and the taping of the activity can be then used for intelligence gathering purposes - without the requirement to stage a fake abuse video. This method is extremely effective, and the more so the more abusive the video can be made to look. Sometimes it is useful to lead the forum by replying to your own posting with your own statement of violent intent and that you do not care what the authorities think inflammation By doing this and showing no fear it may be more effective in getting the more silent and self-disciplined violent intent members of the forum to slip and post their real intentions This can be used later in a court of law during prosecution
Technique #6 - 'GAINING FULL CONTROL
It is important to also be harvesting and continually maneuvering for a forum moderator position Once this position is obtained the forum can then be effectively and quietly controlled by deleting unfavourable postings - and one can eventually steer the forum into complete failure and lack of interest by the general public. This is the ultimate victory as the forum is no longer participated with by the general public and no longer useful in maintaining their freedoms Depending on the level of control you can obtain, you can deliberately steer a forum into defeat by censoring postings, deleting memberships, flooding, and or accidentally taking the forum offline By this method the forum can be quickly killed. However it is not always in the interest to kill a forum as it can be converted into a honey pot gathering center to collect and misdirect newcomers and from this point be completely used for your control for your agenda purposes
CONCLUSION
Remember these techniques are only effective if the forum participants DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THEM. Once they are aware of these techniques the operation can completely fail and the fonum can become uncontrolled At this point other avenues must be considered such as initiating a faise legal precidence to simply have the forum shut down and taken offline This is not desirable as it then leaves the enforcement agencies unable to track the percentage of those in the population who always resist attempts for control against them. Many other techniques can be utilized and developed by the individual and as you develop further techniques of infiltration and control it is imperative to share then with HQ
Note The first nule and last five (or sir, depending on situation) rules are generally not directly within the ability of the traditional disinfo artist to apply These rules are generally used more directly by those at the leadership. key players or planning level of the ceminal conspiracy or conspiracy to cover up 1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil Regardless of what you know, don't discuss it-especially if you are a public figure, news anchor etc If it's not reported it didn't happen, and
you never have to deal with the issues
Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme This is also known as the "How dare your gambit. 3. Create rumor mongers Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms
mutually exclusive of truth may work as well This method which works especially well with a silent press because the only way the public can leam of the facts are through such arguable
rumors. If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a wild rumor from a bunch of kids on the Internet which can have no basis in fact
Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a wa which appears to debunk all the charges real and fabricated alike while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues
Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy though other methods quality as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as kooks "right-wing liberal. Left-wing', terrorists. conspiracy buffs radicals 'militia racists. religious fanatics sexual deviates and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label and you avoid dealing with issues
Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism reasoning - simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint
Question motives Twist or amplity any fact which could be taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing
issues and forces the accuser on the defensive
Invoke authority Claim for yourself or associate yourself with authority and present your argument with enough jargon' and 'minutia' to illustrate you are one who knows', and
simply say it isn't so without discussing issues or demonstrating concretely why or citing sources 9. Play Dumb No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues except with denials they have any credibility, make any sense provide any proof contain
or make a point have logic or support a conclusion Mix well for maximum effect
Associate opponent charges with old news. A derivative of the straw man - usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with a kind of investment for the future should the matter not be so easily contained.) Where it can be foreseen have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges regardless of validity or new ground uncovered can usually then be associated with the onginal charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues - so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source
Establish and rely upon fall-back positions Using a minor matter or element of the facts, take the high road and confess' with candor that some innocent mistake, in hindsight. was made - but that opponents have seed on the opportunity to blow it all out of proportion and imply greater criminalities which just ain't so Others can reinforce this on your behalf later and even publicly call for an end to the nonsense because you have already done the right thing Done property, this can garner sympathy and respect for coming clean and owning up to your mistakes without addressing more serious issues
Enigmas have no solution Drawing upon the overall umbrella of events surrounding the crime and the multitude of players and events, paint the entire affair as too complex to solve. This causes those otherwise following the matter to begin to lose interest more quickly without having to address the actual issues
Alice in Wonderland Logle Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards with an apparent deductive logic which forebears any actual material fact 14. Demand complete solutions. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely, a ploy which works best with issues qualifying for rule 10.
Fit the facts to alternate conclusions. This requires creative thinking unless the crime was planned with contingency conclusions in place
Vanish evidence and witnesses. If it does not exist. it is not fact and you won't have to address the issue 17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other plays listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new more manageable topic This works especially well with companions who can argue with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid
discussing more key issues
Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how 'sensitive they are to criticism 19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the play dumb rule Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums
claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by it may exist but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely
destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon ) In order to completely avoid discussing issues it may be required that you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid
sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable or even deny that statements made by government or other authonties have any meaning or relevance
False evidence. Whenever possible introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations - as useful tools neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications
Call a Grand Jury Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body Subvert the (process) to your benefit and effectively neutralize all sensitive issues without open discussion. Once convened the evidence e and testimony are required to be secret when properly handled. For instance, you own the prosecuting attomey, it can insure a Grand Jury hears no useful evidence and that the evidence is sealed and unavailable to subsequent investigator Once a favorable verdict is achieved the matter can be considered officially closed Usually this technique is applied to find the guilty innocent but it can also be used to obtain charges when seeking to frame a victim
Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expertis), groups) authoris), leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative social research or testimony which concludes favorably in this way, you must actually address issues you can do so authoritatively
Create bigger distractions. If the above does not seem to be working to distract from sensitive issues, or to prevent unwanted meda coverage of unstoppable events such as trials.
create bigger news stones (or treat them as such) to distract the multitudes
Silence critics. If the above methods do not prevail. consider removing opponents from circulation by some definitive solution so that the need to address issues is removed entire This can be by their death arrest and detention blackmail or destruction of their character by release of blackmail information camerely by destroying the financially, emotionally, or severely damaging their health
Vanish. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you think the heat is getting too hot to avoid the issues. vacate the kitchen.
