Here’s What Happens When the U.S. Embassy Spokesman in Moscow Asks Twitter if RT or The Economist is More Trustworthy

by

This is brilliant. Will Stevens is the spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The following needs no further commentary.

The latest in a long line of establishment Twitter fails.

  2. it’s been plainly obvious to people paying seiours attention that the propoganda wars in the u.s. have esclated against its own people in the past 5 years since 2008.

    as bad as years after 9/11 were, what is going on now is far more serious . while some people are perhaps a bit over-worried about an apocolypse and gulag style homeland security ‘action’ occuring——-the juxtaposed opposite attitutde of ignorance being bliss —is even MORE concerning.

    the question is what do you do in this scenario?
    ‘activism’ does’n’t work because it is both co-opted and , when threatening to the status quo, subverted and sabotaged by the nsa security apparatus that has EVERY activists name and dossie on one touch click and open keystroke.

    bank accounts , phone service, and all sorts of other pressure points are easily attacked for people living an open life.

    ——do you become a hermit???

    —–do you leave the country????

    —-do you just learn to live with the reality of ratcheting gestapo governance?

    —or do you join the party and get a job at homeland security or some other comfortable position with the winnign team!!!???

    really it makes no difference. the peasantry does not drive change, by the nature of the human termite system, the peasantry can only react to social forces, or leave the nest or die. so just have a beer and relax!!!!

    and enjoy the superbowl!!!! for 2016.

    • Oh dear you said it better than I could. I would also add that the notion of success has also been up ended. I can count many types of celebrities, and others such as generals ect. that having fallen afoul of regime suddenly plummet from grace in reputation, loose assets, suffer audit, arrest or worse.
      Need I say more?

  3. If the government or its agents are already monitoring all of your electronic communication (as is the case in the US), what would be the next logical step?

    To get you to divulge all or your comings and goings, your beliefs, your likes and dislikes, the ideologies of your friends and acquaintances, etc, etc. In other words, the NSA and CIA absolutely LOVE Facebook and Twitter. They want you to post more on social media.

    It would not take a stretch of the imagination to consider the idea that Google, Facebook, and Twitter are essentially assets of the government’s surveillance apparatus.

    So if the goal is positive PR then these establishment twitter campaigns are a complete failure.

    If the goal to determine who is opposed to top-down control from an increasingly fascist government that is bought and paid for by corporations (which are in turn managed by bankers and the global elite), then I would imagine that these Twitter campaigns have been a great success.

    I bet that the NSA/CIA would love to know who is susceptible to their propaganda, who is opposed to Jamie Dimon and the mega banks dictating policy (both in the US and globally), who is opposed to corporate bio-terrorism (such as Monsanto and Dow poisoning the food supply and the environment with genetically modified foods and toxic pesticides), just to name a few examples.

    Just a thought.
