Hesitated to post this due to its length and, will admit up front, that I have not yet finished the whole article myself - it's huge, and very detailed.

But it's instructional and historical value alone commends its posting and complete reading.

"Since 2016, the federal government has spent billions of dollars on turning the counter-disinformation complex into one of the most powerful forces in the modern world: a sprawling leviathan with tentacles reaching into both the public and private sector, which the government uses to direct a “whole of society” effort that aims to seize total control over the internet and achieve nothing less than the eradication of human error."

I have it bookmarked to read later. It will probably confirm most of not all I've learned about this topic. I call it obamagate because that's who is ultimately responsible. The one thing that frustrates me when reading Matt taibi's articles is he points out the whole thing was bogus but never gets around to pointing the figure at the man ultimately responsible, i.e. Chicago Jesus.
