| JTRIG* Dirty Tricks (i.e., lies and criminality) past, present, future(?) |
“[The Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group - JTRIG*] also uses “false flag” operations, in which British agents carry out online actions that are designed to look like they were performed by one of Britain’s adversaries.”
Additionally: “JTRIG used negative information to attack private companies, sour business relationships and ruin deals.”
“Changing photos on social media sites and emailing and texting colleagues and neighbors’ unsavory information.” ...
“These agencies are attempting to control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse …. Among the core self-identified purposes … are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable. To see how extremist these programs are, just consider the tactics they boast of using to achieve those ends: “false flag operations” (posting material to the internet and falsely attributing it to someone else), fake victim blog posts (pretending to be a victim of the individual whose reputation they want to destroy), and posting “negative information” on various forums.”**

*The Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) is a unit of the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the British intelligence agency.[1] The existence of JTRIG was revealed as part of the global surveillance disclosures in documents leaked by the former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. // The scope of the JTRIG's mission includes using "dirty tricks" to "destroy, deny, degrade [and] disrupt" enemies by "discrediting" them, planting misinformation and shutting down their communications.[2][3] Known as "Effects" operations, the work of JTRIG had become a "major part" of GCHQ's operations by 2010.[2] Slides leaked by Snowden also disclose the deployment of "honey traps" of a sexual nature by British intelligence agents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Threat_Research_Intelligence_Group
