22. Ongoing Psychological warfare from within and out

Russia sent bots out to facebook (Cambridge Analytica).

Elon Musk has turned Twitter into a cesspool.

From a substack around Monday Jan. 13, 2025: an anonymous Twitter worker said state-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns on Twitter. Their goals aligned with Musk's goals, broke Twitter rules, but that didn't matter because Musk didn't stop it.

"We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions."

That is psychological warfare from Musk and his Russian allies aimed at American citizens.

Our government allows it.

American psychologists are professionally required to call this nonsense out. I don't know why they are not. Maybe they are, but the tech bros who control all our media are censoring the information...

We are not free. We need to live in the truth, not in the lie. Paraphrasing Vaclav Havel et. al.
