I've been thinking about what it is we've been doing here.
They say "news aggregation isn't research," but the analysis, synthesis, collection, dissemination, monitoring, archiving, and retrieval of information IS at least important. It's something the NSA/etc. gets billions to do.
Supposedly, around 80% of what the KGB actually DID was propaganda and information warfare. "Spy stuff" was actually very little of their mission. Public opinion, and the outcomes resulting from it, are important enough that governments and militaries devote gigantic budgets and entire decades of work to it.
You think Q and MILINTEL haven't had a presence on the chans since day 1? After moot got dragged to federal court? After bomb scares and pranks that affected global giants? After Trident secrets were posted on /pol/? After we learned about the Ghouls and Swan Lake? After /cfg/, /ewo/, the twitterstrike, pizzagate, etc? After FBIanon?
That database. You think your posts as Anon are anonymous? Or you think maybe your file is stored somewhere?
What do you think you really are? Chosen for a reason.
You know, in 2016, a LOT of actual CIA manuals were posted on /pol/. Information warfare and subversion. Who are "Russian bots?" How did a bunch of unpaid anime dorks out-PSYOP a multi-billion-dollar, global information/propaganda network? Organically? Luck?
You think maybe somebody trained them?
Why attack a bunch of paranoid losers so vehemently?
