U.S. Plan To Fight The Internet Revealed
geniese writes "The BBC is reporting on a recently declassified document that details the U.S. Military's intentions regarding warfare and the Internet." From the article: "Perhaps the most startling aspect of the roadmap is its acknowledgement that information put out as part of the military's psychological operations, or Psyops, is finding its way onto the computer and television screens of ordinary Americans. 'Information intended for foreign audiences, including public diplomacy and Psyops, is increasingly consumed by our domestic audience,' it reads."
And, in a grand finale, the document recommends that the United States should seek the ability to "provide maximum control of the entire electromagnetic spectrum".
Why go through all the fuss of briefing journalists, thought manipulation and the destruction of networks when all they really need to do is just hire Magneto.

DM: Yes, you can have a Mountain Dew, just go get it.
Golstaff: I can cast any of these, right? On the list?
DM: Yes, any, any of the first level ones.
Cheeto: I'm gonna get a soda; anyone want one? Hey, Graham, I'm not in the room, right?
DM: What room?
Golstaff: I wanna cast...Magic Missile.
Cheeto: The room where he's casting all these spells from.
DM: He hasn't cast anything yet.
Golstaff: I am though, if you'd listen. I'm casting...Magic Missile.
DM: Why are casting Magic Missile? There's nothing to attack here.
Golstaff: I...I'm attacking the Internet!
[[[laughter from Cheeto and DM]]]
DM: Fine, fine, you attack the Internet. There's a router in front of you.

Wait wait, how do we know you're not an anti-GOP counter-Psyops conspiracy agent? Hmm?

I had but a simple dream, to destroy all humans.
Or maybe an army of Crack Hoes?

Assuming some sort of master plan developed by an act of genius fails when it hits political expediency. The US intelligence community looks like a complete joke internationally due to political expediency skewing any reality in favour for a useful fiction (WMD - Niger Uranium etc) and calling anything of merit into question as well. The propaganda backfires when absolutely cretinous things are done. In the first gulf war a news story was fabricated about nurses getting raped in a hospitial in kuwait - with the daughter of an ambassator working as the voice actress for the story. There were plenty of real stories of real atrocities without making something up and so making others doubt the real stories. It has gotten to the point where citizens of US allies and government agencies of US allies do not trust information that comes from the USA.
Just give horse judges and drug addicts a bit less power in these situations and you may see some decent plans.
"So, what's the exit strategy for Iraq?"
Hey, what's the *entry* strategy for Iraq?
