Russia’s meddling in the United States’ elections is not a hoax. It’s the culmination of Moscow’s decades-long campaign to tear the West apart. “Operation InfeKtion” reveals the ways in which one of the Soviets’ central tactics — the promulgation of lies about America — continues today, from Pizzagate to George Soros conspiracies. Meet the KGB spies who conceived this virus and the American truth squads who tried — and are still trying — to fight it. Countries from Pakistan to Brazil are now debating reality, and in Vladimir Putin’s greatest triumph, Americans are using Russia’s playbook against one another without the faintest clue.
How would you feel about that conspiracy theory if you later found out it wasn't just Russia that did stuff like that but that it was factions within the government of all first world nations and that their goal was to promote the "need" for a single, unified world government?
Operation Infektion: A three-part video series on Russian disinformation - The New York Times
The New York Times presents three video-episode's at the link above explaining the Kremlin's war on truth.
Video-Episode 1: Meet The KGB Spies Who Invented Fake News - We reveal how one of the biggest fake news stories ever concocted — the 1984 AIDS-is-a-biological-weapon hoax — went viral in the pre-internet era. Meet the KGB operatives who invented it and the “truth squad” that quashed it. For a bit.
Video-Episode 2: The Seven Commandments Of Fake News - The Pizzagate playbook: same tactics, new technologies. How the seven rules of Soviet disinformation are being used to create today’s fake news stories.
Video-Episode 3: The Worldwide War On Truth - Governments from Pakistan to Mexico to Washington are woefully unequipped to combat disinformation warfare. Eastern European countries living in Russia’s shadow can teach us how to start fighting back, but only if our politicians decide to stop profiting from these tactics and fight them instead.
This is the Europe forum. That all technologically advanced nations engage in this behavior is a given. This NYT article zeros in on the Russian facets of disinformation.
If it offends you, simply move on.

It's not about being offended. It's about the idea of one world government.
Very easy to say something is a 'given' without the tiniest scrap of evidence. You do not know what you are talking about. The UK is pretty advanced and to my certain knowledge does not manufacture or disseminate lies about other countries. I am pretty sure that this is also true of Sweden.
Your ass. Every Western nation has significant SIGINT capabilities.
I don't deal with notions that do not exist in the real world. Take it to the CT forum.
But sigint has nothing to do with the subject under discussion. Which is, let me remind you, the invention and spreading of false 'information aimed at other states. You really have no idea what you are writing about; sigint is the interception and decoding of another state's communications.
Interesting.
As far as you're concerned it's a fact that Russia employs a disinformation campaign to advance their political goals and it's a conspiracy that anyone else would do so. OK. I guess I'm way off base.
