Internet Trolls

What Psychopathic Internet Trolls Can Teach Us About Persuasion

By Susanne Posel

 

 

A team of researchers at the University of Manitoba have concluded that internet trolls display Machiavellian traits of psychopathy.

The personalities of the trolls, according to the study, fall under the labels of:
• Machiavellianism
• Psychopathy
• Sadism

In other words, internet trolls are willing to manipulate and deceive because of a grandiose ego and self-obsessive behaviors that showcase their lack of empathy toward others and highlights their pleasure derived from the suffering of others.

Time spent trolling the internet through comment threads was measurably connected to the level of the “dark tetrad” that individual played on.

Through a questionnaire, 5.6% of participants of the study were admitted to “enjoying” their trolling; while 41.3% of internet users are “non-commenters”.

This means that the internet troll community is quite small; yet has a quite significant impact of the temperament of the internet because of the relentlessness by which they engage their deterring activities.

One possible source of trolls is the National Security Agency (NSA) comprehensive program to search out our schools into scouting grounds for a team of American grown hacker community.

The NSA is focusing on colleges and universities within the US. Four schools have already been singled out as official Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations (CAE-COP).

The CAE-COP focuses on recruiting persons with “particular emphasis on technologies and techniques related to specialized cyber operations (e.g., collection, exploitation, and response), to enhance the national security posture of our Nation.”

Those chosen for this program become vital researchers expected to assist the NSA in:
• Global communications and computing networks
• Developing a digital strategic advantage
• Collaboration with the US government on cyber issues
• Carry out directives on designated targets at the discretion of the US government

These “cyber operators” are trained to become an elite team of “computer geniuses” that are experts in computer hacking, digital communications, cyber intelligence – for the purpose of spying on Americans; as well as conducting interactive digital psy-ops with users of the internet.

Another source for government-grade internet trolls could be supported by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

According to Lynnae Williams, former CIA clandestine service trainee and DIA analyst, the FBI and CIA use trolls to monitor social media and interact with users to discredit information disseminated on the web. Williams explains that the CIA provides training videos to new recruits on how to troll the internet. Once a target is locked-in, all open source information is obtained on the individual, and then any angle to discredit them in public forum is used on social media sites.

Software is used to sift through the “mountains” of users on social networking sites. At the Atlanta CIA branch where Williams was trained, she personally witnessed CIA-sponsored and sanctioned trolling of Americans on social networking sites.

In 2011, the CIA revealed its Open Source Center where recruited personnel are used as government trolls to “analyze” websites for information pertinent to the objective of the US government – meaning discrediting targets on certain websites.

Under the guise of conducting business intelligence (i.e. cyberespionage), the Open Source software gathers digital data on targets; including all Facebook posts, Twitter posts, comments on website threads.

Those assigned to monitor this data can interact with users online through anonymous portals.

Agents are designated to surveillance operations to message anyone, analyze political and religious speech, assess trends and conduct electronic eavesdropping through cell phones, satellites and other digital apparatus.

Agents not only survey the internet and interact as anonymous persons through directed postings, but also are deployed to wander through the streets domestically and in foreign nations to monitor newspaper and other printed media to extract useful information about the temperament of the general public.

Ted Gunderson

Always one to support an "underdog," listening to Gunderson speak after hearing some of the comments by Stew Webb, reminded me of the excellent video I listened to about McCarthy. Gunderson backs his comments with facts, documents, logic. Something I didn't see demonstrated by those who slandered him. 

Well, they say dead men tell no tales. But they also say the truth shall not be repressed forever and the legacy of men gone speaks for itself...

FDA, FBI Raid Tulsa Cancer Clinic

 My comment: Knowing that we have natural cures for cancer and having used them myself with success, this sort of thing always disturbs me. But more and more I see all these raids, conferences like the 9/11 investigation and the Citizen's Hearing on Disclosure, and all the illegal raids and false flags as moving society toward a greater awareness and a greater willingness to fight back. To fight back against idiots who blindly follow laws and dupes who pass legislation that craps on them while they crap on their Constitution. You tell me that something like Laetrile is snake oil or ineffective and then explain why they are so vehement about keeping it out of this country that they raid clinics and drive doctors out of practice who are having success with it if it is so innocuous. Or explain away why famous people used to go out of this country to get cures and got them with this very thing. Explain it and then tell me how much troll pay is going for these days.

FDA, FBI Raid Tulsa Cancer Clinic

 Tess Maune, News On 6 

TULSA, Oklahoma -

A U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigation shut down a Tulsa cancer clinic Tuesday afternoon. Federal agents showed up at Camelot Cancer Care in south Tulsa around 11 a.m. and served a search warrant.

Investigators have been tight-lipped about why they were there, but a source tells us the FDA is looking into the center's use of Laetrile, and has a concern for the safety of its patients.



 
But one man speaks highly of Camelot and the natural chemical that he claims was saving his wife's life.

"Listen, my wife's dying, and we don't want to go with chemotherapy and radiation," said Sam Bass.

Bass said his wife, Yvonne, is fighting for her life. She's battling melanoma for the second time. She's been cancer free for five years, but he said the cancer has come back.

"She just couldn't tolerate the surgeries anymore, so we went natural, changed her diet," Bass said.

For the Basses, Camelot Cancer Care was the answer. It's an alternative cancer clinic that fights the disease with natural treatments.

"It's a natural route that I've done a lot of research on," Bass said.

He said his father-in-law took $13,000 out of his savings to pay for a 20-day treatment program. The couple came in from Oklahoma City. They've been in Tulsa for 8 days, and were planning to head back Tuesday night to finish the rest of her treatment at home. But as they left Camelot, FDA and FBI agents showed up.

Bass said they asked him to leave his wife's medication behind.

"My wife is dying of cancer and, for us, this was a hope and they took our hope away," Bass said. "They took our rights, in my opinion, for me and my wife to choose how to treat her."

Sam said his wife's treatment program did include Laetrile. The chemical, which is found in the pits of some fruits and nuts, is also listed on Camelot's website.

But, it's not approved by the FDA.

During the investigation, Michael McDonnough, 49, of Broken Arrow was arrested for pushing an officer while trying to sneak a computer out of the building.

McDonnough was booked into the Tulsa County jail on a complaint of assault and battery on a police officer.  McDonnough is employed by Camelot but his role is unclear.

As for Sam, he said he didn't know Laetrile was outlawed until Tuesday, but even knowing, he said he doesn't care. Because without it, he said his wife may not survive.

"I just want my wife to get well. I've got three kids at home, they need their mom. I need my wife," Bass said.

An employee with Camelot said it hasn't been shut down, but will need to make some changes moving forward.

However the FBI said the clinic is temporarily closed.

As for the Basses, they said they can't afford to change treatments now.
