GCHQ Training Guide for social media subterfuge

This is Britain’s GCHQ how-to guide for Online Covert Action which, according to Glenn Greenwald (see links below) has been shared with US agencies like the NSA. Upon review, it can only be described as government-sponsored subterfuge of domestic society.

According to these latest documents, there are paid government agent/contractor persons on social media posing as someone they are not, whilst on the payroll of the government. Their job is to befriend members of the alternative media, embed themselves in the ebb and flow of day-to-day communications, and then to engage in elaborate subterfuge – by any means necessary. The training exercise below uses terms like “befriend”, “infiltrate”, “mask/mimic”, “ruse”, “set-up”, “disrupt”, “create cognitive stress”, “use deception”, “ruin business relationships”, and “post negative information on appropriate forums” – all of which is not only illegal and morally bankrupt, but also runs completely contrary to the very fundamental ‘values’ and indeed founding principles, of a modern free democratic society or constitutional republic.


Read the article - most of the slides of the presentation deck are there.

Not that this should surprise anyone here (except those on the payroll!), but those formerly tin hat theories of crazy people are now being seen as most likely to be reality by wider sets of the population.

This has been going on for a VERY LONG TIME!

Among the things I did while supporting/working for the various groups when I did things that I am not proud of... Was tech support and Datacenter Setup's for some of these Operations.

I have seen these work centers here in the USA. each "Agent" would be in a cube with 6 monitors on a bracket hooked to a robust desktop. This desktop mainly ran "Virtual Machines" or "Remotely Ran Operating Systems" that were on Hypervisors inserted in Data centers all over the country and the world.

They also had sophisticated IP and MAC Address Spoofing Software. This was all used to show a user as being from any location in the world as desired. The Administrator of a Forum would do a Tracert of the IP and the "hops" would lead back to a destination that the "Agent" had desired the Forum Administrator to think they were from.

These "Agents" would also have many User ID's and "Personalities" with backgrounds for each personality. They would often enter into Forums of "Interest" that may be discussing "Sensitive Topics" and derail the Threads by the "Agent" logging into that Forum with several established member ID's and then having major off topic arguments between the "Members ID's that all belong to the same "Agent" (Basically the Agent faking an argument with themselves).

During the time they were establishing themselves in the different Forums they would post excellent Threads and gain respect of other members of the Forum to gain Allies to then Back Them Up. This would then cause further divisions withing the Forum between the other members (Often they would hover in threads making notes of already conflicting member relationships and play off of those to cause divisions).

Much of the times these "Agents" had at one point been in the "Personality Metamorph" Project where they took youth who showed signs of being sociopaths and naturally good at manipulation and socially engineering and further trained them for "Infiltration" and other "Spy Crafts".

These centers had to be managed closely by the handlers since these personality types do not work well with other people. When you place 20 or 40 more in one room there is "Drama" on a daily basis.

Government Agencies also hire other "Trolls" to do this kind of work. But they are less efficient at it. They are used for general trolling.

These Metamorphs/"Agents" are used to infiltrate Forums like Avalon and the many others out there we have seen destroyed from within.

So far the MOD's here have done a great job at sniffing MOST of them out...

The GCHQ is a largely Mossad ran group at the top. They do not mind doing dirty work that gives them the reputation that they have today.

Thank you for that GoodETxSG.

I haven't studied the modern day version of what was operating outside of Cheltenham in 1956.

Operations go forward of course today...in various forms. Some Government and military and some private.... those who do not know the past are blind to see what are almost Standard techniques with these groups...and all of them operate with the prime directive of causing disruption and failure in Forum groups who are perhaps getting too close to sensitive material. There are as many agendas out there as there are groups involved.

I have not made a study of how many times certain Forums have been targetted but once you see the "fingerprints" it becomes alarming.

Thank you for your message here. I am sure some will find it helpful. . Linda
