They can be incredibly effective in shaping fake narratives on events which can start wars, start riots, topple governments, or tip elections. Charles Burris remembers one of the best-organized, the “Hack-and-Dump Working Group:”
"Michael Shellenberger reported in a #TwitterFiles thread that the Aspen Institute hosted an exercise in the summer of 2020 titled, “Burisma Leak,” which predicted with uncanny accuracy an upcoming derogatory story in the New York Post about Hunter Biden’s lost laptop.
"The documents Shellenberger published showed how at least five media figures, including David Sanger and David McCraw of the New York Times, Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post, then-Daily Beast and future Rolling Stone editor Noah Schactman, and Rick Baker of CNN worked alongside Twitter and Facebook’s chief moderation officers, Yoel Roth and Nathaniel Gleicher, to plan a response to a hypothetical damaging exposé about Joe Biden’s son Hunter.
The “Burisma Leak” exercise predicted many elements of the real response to the New York Post’s coming Hunter Biden story, including complaints from influential Democratic congressman Adam Schiff about its “source and veracity,” and public statements from “former senior intelligence officials” falsely raising the specter of a “Russian operation.”
Top Biden campaign official Tony Blinken (now Secretary of State) then worked with the Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell to implement this scenario before the 2020 presidential election."
...and a few more parts yield precision warfare. A single individual with a recipe, a 3D printer and $96 just shattered the monopoly on high-tech violence.
A video, along with the plans, has recently surfaced showcasing “Project Canard,” an open-source, 3D-printed guided rocket system that recalculates its trajectory mid-air using a $5 sensor and some piano wire. The creator, operating under the GitHub handle novatic14, has essentially handed the keys to advanced surface-to-air defense to anyone with an internet connection and a spool of plastic filament.
George Mason, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, once profoundly questioned, "I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials." And what weapons those officials possess must be available to the whole people.
...
Newly released CIA documents reveal the Biden Administration identified “motherhood” and “homemaking” as indicators of “white racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism” (REMVE).
The CIA actually put a trigger warning on its own intelligence product about how white women promoting motherhood is a threat to the United States. Note CIA logo upper left.

"If I were fierce, and bald, and short of breath
I’d live with scarlet Majors at the Base,
And speed glum heroes up the line to death.
You’d see me with my puffy petulant face,
Guzzling and gulping in the best hotel,
Reading the Roll of Honour. “Poor young chap,”
I’d say — “I used to know his father well;
Yes, we’ve lost heavily in this last scrap.”
And when the war is done and youth stone dead,
I’d toddle safely home and die — in bed."
“Base Details” by the British World War I poet Siegfried Sassoon
