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
Avoidance. They never actually discuss issues head-on or provide constructive input, generally avoiding citation of references or credentials other Virtually everything about their presentation implies the authority and expert knowledge in the matter without any further justification for credibility
Rather, they merely imply this that and the
Selectivity. They tend to pick and choose opponents carefully, either applying the hit-and-run approach against mere commentators supportive of opponents, or focusing heavier attacks on key opponents who are known to directly address issues. Should a commentator become argumentative with any success the focus will shift to include the commentator as well
Coincidental. They tend to surface suddenly and somewhat coincidentally with a new controversial topic with no clear prior record of participation in general discussions in the particular public arena involved They likewise tend to vanish once the topic is no longer of general concem. They were likely directed or elected to be there for a reason, and vanish with the reason
Teamwork. They tend to operate in self-congratulatory and complementary packs or teams Of course this can happen naturally in any public forum, but there will likely be an ongoing pattern of frequent exchanges of this sort where professionals are involved Sometimes ane of the players will infiltrate the opponent camp to become a source for straw man or other tactics designed to dilute opponent presentation strength
Anti conspiratorial. They almost always have disdain for conspiracy theontts and usually for those who in any way believe JFK was not killed by LHO Ask yourself why, if they hold such disdain for conspiracy theorists, do they focus on defending a single topic discussed in a NG focusing on conspiracies? One might think they would either be trying to make fools of everyone on every topic, or simply ignore the group they hold in such disdain Or, one might more nightly conclude they have an ulterior motive for their actions in going out of their way to focus as they do
Artificial Emotions. An odd kind of 'artificial emotionalism and an unusually thick skin - an ability to persevere and persist even in the face of overwhelming criticism and unacceptance This likely stems trom intelligence community training that, no matter how condemning the evidence deny everything, and never become emotionally involved or reactive. The net result for a disinfo artist is that emotions can seem artificial
Most people if responding in anger, for instance, will express their animosity throughout their rebuttal But disinfo types usually have trouble maintaining the image and are hot and cold with
respect to pretended emotions their usually more calm or unemotional communications style. It's just a job and they often seem unable to act the role in character as well in a
communications medium as the, might be able in a real face-to-face conversation confrontation. You might have outright rage and indignation one moment, ho-hum the next, and more anger
later - an emotional yo-yo
With respect to being thick-skinned, no amount of criticism will deter them from doing their job, and they will generally continue their old disinfo patterns without any adjustments to criticisms of how obvious it is that they play that game - where a more rational individual who truly cares what others think might seek to improve their communications style substance, and so forth. or simply give up
Inconsistent. There is also a tendency to make mistakes which betray their true seltimotives. This may stem from not really knowing their topic, or it may be somewhat freudian, so to speak, in that perhaps they really root for the side of truth deep within have noted that often, they will simply cite contradictory information which neutralizes itself and the author For instance one such player claimed to be a Navy pilot, but blamed his poor communicating skills (spelling, grammar, incoherent style on having only a grade school education, I'm not aware of too many Navy pilots who don't have a college degree. Another claimed
no knowledge of a particular topic/situation but later claimed first-hand knowledge of it
Time Constant. Recently discovered with respect to News Groups is the response time factor. There are three ways this can be seen to work especially when the government or other empowered player is involved in a cover up operation
ANY NG posting by a targeted proponent for truth can result in an IMMEDIATE response The govemment and other empowered players can afford to pay people to sit there and watch for
an opportunity to do some damage SINCE DISINFO IN ANG ONLY WORKS IF THE READER SEES IT - FAST RESPONSE IS CALLED FOR or the visitor may be swayed towards
truth b) When dealing in more direct ways with a disinfomationalist, such as email, DELAY IS CALLED FOR - there will usually be a minimum of a 48-72 hour delay. This allows a sit-down team discussion on response strategy for best effect and even enough time to get permission or instruction from a formal chain of command
c) In the NG example 1) above, it will often ALSO be seen that bigger guns are drawn and fired after the same 48-72 hours delay - the team approach in play. This is especially true when the targeted truth seeker or their comments are considered more important with respect to potential to reveal truth. Thus, a serious truth sayer will be attached twice for the same sin.
