> Bill Binney who designed the NSA's Mass Data Collection systems (for Foreign surveillance) claims that the NSA could easily divulge dates, times and extraction routes "without compromising methods and sources" if there had indeed been any Russian hack - and he should know.
Not to dispute what you're saying but the excellent documentary, "A Good American" suggests Binney and his program was forced out of the NSA, supplanted by another system, labeled a traitor by the top brass @ NSA and had been gone for some time by the time all this happened, so ... how would he really know?
As good as he is at that sort of thing (he has his own system working) I'm surprised he doesn't have evidence of his own.
With any and all of this it's good to keep in mind what the movie "The Good Shepherd" suggests about intelligence work - trust no one and nothing is as it seems.
For anyone reading, I highly recommend watching "A Good American". It's about how Binney, one of the best in the NSA, was shafted by the influence of the military industrial complex.
>These falsehoods, like dozens of others from the president since January...
I think they meant January 2017.
>When the first case of the virus was reported in the United States in January, Mr. Trump dismissed it as “one person coming in from China.” He said the situation was “under control” and “it’s going to be just fine”
We've had what I'll politely call "GMO advocates" around here before as I have read them and the positions they espouse.
I'd be quicker to believe they have recently been operating than not as it's been a matter of policy now for most PR firms, or the entities themselves with an agenda that needs public support to engage Reddit. It's no secret they do it so it's disingenuous to suggest it hasn't happened.
All one needs to do is to watch the Academy Award nominated documentary "Food Inc" to see what policies and agendas Monsanto pursues.
Dave McGowan wrote a book Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon about how the rock industry and hippie movement was started by the CIA. Very compelling. https://www.amazon.com/Weird-Scenes-Inside-Canyon-Laurel/dp/1909394122
Great article, but it needs some clarification: the term “deepfake” typically refers to the transfer of an existing person’s face onto a video of someone else. Synthesizing images of nonexistent people using StyleGAN or something similar is a related concept but not the same thing.
I feel like this article frames the “Oliver Taylor” persona as a uniquely sophisticated psyops campaign. Which it may be; who know who’s behind it. But anybody can go to a site like This Person Does Not Exist, hit refresh until they find an image they like, and submit that as their headshot to accompany a pseudonymously published article. This takes nearly zero technical ability. The fact that the image contains telltale GAN artifacts actually comes across as pretty amateurish to me; a skilled and motivated disinformation campaign would’ve photoshopped that out to avoid such easy detection.

Is he lying in these books?

I don't think so. You should actually read them.
You seem to be hell bent on assassinating his character and discounting his other valuable contributions because he tows the government line on JFK and 9/11. I don't think that is a particularly prudent or intelligent approach to sifting through information. Or is this ad hominem attack really an attack on the concept of "Manufacturing Consent" which seemed to upset you so much yesterday?
