Great Points here which I will use as a lead in to the Military Industrial Everything Complex Even more alarming was just how much military and intelligence funding is involved [in “disinformation” control, aka censorship] , how closely aligned the groups are, how much they mix in civil society. Graphika for example received a $3M Department of Defense grant, as well as funds from the US Navy and Air Force. The Atlantic Council (of Digital Forensics Lab infamy) receives funds from the US Army and Navy, Blackstone, Raytheon, Lockheed, the NATO STRATCOM Center of Excellence, and more.
Gosh Damn. This is a good necessarily somewhat dense summary to date. I am only halfway through and have to take a break because my brain is aching, and I have some education in this area! This is the prelude to your next stack!?
Then it's likely going to take me 2 weeks to absorb that I suspect, taking it in shifts.
Thank you for this.
I'm saving this as a pdf, then sharing it with some friends and folks who were involved in different on-the-ground consequences of those machinations and plannings.
I am about done on this theme. All Tuckered out, you might say, although I might do a stack on the Military Industrial Academic Complex at some point which includes Science and Tech . The links I left at the end covered some of that so I don't know. It will be awhile if it happens.
I have some experience turning out briefs similar in your treatment in another field, but not at your level. They require revisions, tightening up, much research even if one has great familiarity with the subjects involved, triple plus checking and supplementing and the grammar checks, etc. A LOT of work. Good writing, great! writing on an area and making it accessible for your audience target(s). Tuckered out and not champing at the bit to jump in for more right away? - understandable!
I'm going to spend some weekend time working through this. I will give further feedback when done, including the links and coverage.
