New British army elite unit to use social media and psychological warfare
Yesterday, the United Kingdom government announced:
The British military is to form a new specialist force in “non-lethal” forms of psychological warfare using social media such as Twitter and Facebook to tackle the “asymmetric battlefields” of the 21st century.
I found the use of the word "asymmetric battlefields" a very interesting term. What exactly does "asymetric" mean....
http://www.thefreedictionary.
a·sym·met·ric
(ā′sĭ-mĕt′rĭk) also a·sym·met·ri·cal (-rĭ-kəl)adj.1.a. Having no balance or symmetry: an asymmetric design.b. Uneven in distribution.2.a. Existing or occurring between two incommensurate entities, especially to the detriment of one.b. Characterized by an imbalance in power between two opponents in an armed conflict, especially one in which a weaker force uses unconventional means, such as guerilla or terrorist tactics: asymmetric warfare.
Well..... isn't THAT interesting? I find it very interesting that they are basically stating that THEY are the weaker force, hence their use of "unconventional means" such as psychological warfare to upset the balance of truth that is pumping out through the internet in response to the lies of the main stream media.
This is a MASSIVE piece of transparency. While this news that they are employing people to deliberately "influence" social media and public opinion though manipulation on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.. is not new to most of us in the alternative media world- hell, this has been going on for years- the very fact that the UK government is announcing this to the world and calling it "psychological warfare" is a vitally important piece of information to get out to the public.
...They've tried to take over the internet and to restrict access to, and to censor internet content though legal and governmental bullyboy tactics to no avail.... so now they are telling the world that they will step up their shill game and try to influence the public through
Government agencies, especially American, Canadian and British western "intelligence" agencies, have been using this template to stamp out, ridicule, and negate any forms of truth or information that is put out on the internet that they do not want to public to believe. I republished an article in January 2013 called "If the Shill fits..." that outlines the story of a paid "shill" who goes public with how he was recruited to troll the internet to take down and ridicule information on several subjects that his "employer" didn't like.
Yes, this form of "psychological warfare" has been going on almost since the inception of the internet, But it is time for the people who've been battling against these shills and trolls to make sure that they are exposed for the agenda's they serve.... and this article is a doorway to expose them to the world.
