“Russia and the Menace of Unreality”
“How Vladimir Putin is revolutionizing information warfare”
By Peter Pomerantsev
September 9, 2014

“At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations”

    Cambridge Analytica is usual oligarchy rulership service. Nothing to do with Russia.

    I clearly linked the Facebook posting, your active measures of commenting at me aren’t going to work. I notice you can’t discuss Finnegans Wake and Marshall McLuhan media ecology and just keep tossing keywords of current topics Russian talking points into the Lemmy media environment. I’m not fixated on Lemmy comment content, unable to escape to other media contexts, like everyone else here in April 2025 on Lemmy.

    the reality of the Russian narrative on Ukraine war.

    Yha, your narrative that Russian needs to expand land and take over Ukraine. “Operation Matthew 4:19” is about self-destructing the entire world with egoism, that’s what was released in March 2013 via the Internet Research Agency. Egomania via 5,000 Lemmy alternate reality screen games. Elon Musk was sucked in when he purchased Twitter.

    I really don’t think you comprehend Marshall McLuhan or Finnegans Wake. The 5,000 monomyth simulacra pasterns take on a life of their own, Russia is no longer in control of what they unleashed. The only way humanity is going to escape this world-wide disaster is to directly educate everyone all across the world on a Unified Theory of Fiction and Non-Fiction, metaphors finally being understood instead of each group in a different monomyth cult / religion reality saying everyone else is a non-believer and dummy / stupid / idiots.

     

    Четыре года и два дня - это с одной стороны очень большой срок, а с другой очень маленький. Наша идея была безумна, но реализуема.

    Для того, чтобы в этом во всем разобраться для начала нужно было “оцифровать” все возможные виды современного человека.

    Дональд решил пригласить для этой задачи - специальный научный отдел “Кембриджского университета”. Британские учёные из Cambridge Analytica предложили сделать из 5 тысяч существующих человеческих психотипов - “идеальный образ” возможного сторонника Трампа. Затем… положить этот образ обратно на всё психотипы и таким образом подобрать универсальный ключик к любому и каждому. Разработка в итоге обошлась Дональду Фредовичу в 5 миллионов долларов. Но! Он получил в свои руки - секретное супер-оружие.

    Кто занимался таргетированной рекламой… поймёт, что это значит. Помните, сколько всего денег потратили фонды Клинтон и “их сторонники” на кампанию по всему миру? В 5 раз больше, чем Трамп.
