Eight Traits of the Disinformationalist
by H. Michael Sweeney <
1) Avoidance. They never actually discuss issues head-on or provide
constructive input, generally avoiding
citation of references or credentials. Rather, they merely imply this,
that, and the other. Virtually everything about their
presentation implies their authority and
expert knowledge in the matter
without any
further justification for credibility.
2) Selectivity. They tend to pick and choose opponents carefully,
either applying the hit-and-run approach
against mere commentators supportive of opponents, or focusing heavier attacks on key opponents who are known to
directly address issues. Should a commentatorbecome argumentative with
any success, the
focus will shift to include the commentator as well.
3) Coincidental. They tend to surface suddenly and somewhat
coincidentally with a new controversial topic with no clear prior
record of participation in general discussions in the
particular public arena involved. They likewise tend to vanish
once the topic is no longer of general
concern. They were likely directed or
elected to be there for a reason, and vanish with the reason.
4) Teamwork. They tend to operate in self-congratulatory and
complementary packs or teams. Of course,
this can happen naturally in any public forum, but there will likely be
an ongoing pattern of frequent exchanges of
this sort where professionals are involved. Sometimes
one of the players will infiltrate the opponent camp to become a source
for straw man or other tactics designed to
dilute opponent presentation strength.
5) Anti-conspiratorial. They almost always have disdain for 'conspiracy
theorists' and, usually, for those who in
any way believe JFK was not killed by LHO. Ask yourself why, if they hold such disdain for conspiracy
theorists, do they focus on defending a single topic discussed in a NG
focusing on conspiracies? One might think they would either be trying to make fools of everyone on every topic, or simply
ignore the group they hold in such disdain.Or, one might more rightly
conclude they have an ulterior motive
for their actions in going out of their way to focus as they do.
6) Artificial Emotions. An odd kind of 'artificial' emotionalism and an
unusually thick skin -- an ability to persevere and persist even in the
face of overwhelming criticism and unacceptance.
This likely stems from intelligence community training that, no matter
how condemning the evidence, deny everything, and never become
emotionally involved or reactive. The net result for a disinfo artist
is that emotions can seem artificial. Most people, if responding in
anger, for instance, will express their animosity throughout their
rebuttal. But disinfo types usually have
trouble maintaining
the 'image' and are hot and cold with respect to pretended
emotions and their usually more calm or unemotional communications
style. It's just a job, and they often seem
unable to 'act their role in character' as well in a communications medium as they might be able in a real
face-to-face conversation/confrontation.
You might have outright rage and indignation one moment, ho-hum the
next, and more anger later -- an emotional yo-yo. With respect to being
thick-skinned, no amount of criticism will deter them from doing their
job, and they will generally continue their old disinfo patterns
without any adjustments to
criticisms of how obvious it is that they play that game -- where a
more rational individual who truly cares what others think might seek
to improve their communications style, substance,
and so forth, or simply give up.
7) Inconsistent. There is also a tendency to make mistakes which betray
their true self/motives. This may stem from
not really knowing their topic, or it may be somewhat
'freudian', so to speak, in that perhaps they
really root for the side of truth deep
within.
I have noted that often, they will simply cite contradictory information which neutralizes itself and the author. For instance, one such player claimed to be a Navy pilot, but blamed his poor communicating skills (spelling, grammar, incoherent style) on having only a grade-school education. I'm not aware of too many Navy pilots who don't have a college degree. Another claimed no knowledge of a particular topic/situation but later claimed first-hand knowledge of it.
8) BONUS TRAIT: Time Constant. Recently discovered, with respect to News Groups, is the response time factor. There are three ways this can be seen to work, especially when the government or other empowered player is involved in a cover up operation:
1) ANY NG posting by a targeted proponent for truth can result in an IMMEDIATE response. The government and other empowered players can afford to pay people to sit there and watch for an opportunity to do some damage. SINCE DISINFO IN A NG ONLY WORKS IF THE READER SEES IT - FAST RESPONSE IS CALLED FOR, or the visitor may be swayed towards truth.
2) When dealing in more direct ways with a disinformationalist, such as email, DELAY IS CALLED FOR - there will usually be a minimum of a 48-72 hour delay. This allows a sit-down team discussion on response strategy for best effect, and even enough time to 'get permission' or instruction from a formal chain of command.
3) In the NG example 1) above, it will often ALSO be seen that bigger guns are drawn and fired after the same 48-72 hours delay - the team approach in play. This is especially true when the targeted truth seeker or their comments are considered more important with respect to potential to reveal truth. Thus, a serious truth sayer will be attacked twice for the same sin.7: WAR, PEACE, AMERICA, and The NEW WORLD ORDER!
