Episode 233: Perception Management feat Ken Klippenstein
Added 2023-05-29 21:18:27 +0000 UTCInfrastructure designed to combat "disinformation" is expanding rapidly within the US government and intelligence agencies. But how do they define it in the first place? And how much transparency around their methods is the public granted? Our guest is Ken Klippenstein, journalist for the Intercept.

Malinformation: things that are true but "out of context". I.e. things that are true but not framed in a way to make US look good.

2023-06-03 02:05:29 +0000 UTCTravis is really coming into his savage era and I love that for him

2023-06-02 23:57:54 +0000 UTCI assume that was the Strain Disinfo revving up and not really Travis's last show. Great episode, thank you.
2023-06-02 07:55:14 +0000 UTCIt’s interesting hearing the skepticism and stonewalling within the FOIA system from the outside perspective. When I was a CDC fellow the entire team got them from an anti-vax group (which isn’t what we researched), but everyone took it seriously and wanted to be completely open. But we aren’t lawyers and didn’t have any secret intelligence lol

2023-06-01 20:33:07 +0000 UTCThis episode is amazing. This is like.. the whole thing right here - disinformation, money, ai, failed public square / total atomization / denial of truth. Great episode. Great guest.
2023-06-01 16:27:20 +0000 UTCWhile I love the funny eps a lot I also love the informative eps a lot too

2023-05-31 01:48:42 +0000 UTCTravis isn’t leaving right now, it’s just a continuation of the bit at 56 minutes where he says he’s gonna try get a contract with the feds.
2023-05-30 22:28:29 +0000 UTCThis isn’t travis’ last show you guys Julian’s just being a mean girl.

2023-05-30 22:16:59 +0000 UTCTravis' last show??? I wasn't prepared for this. Nooooooooooooooo.😳

2023-05-30 19:02:11 +0000 UTCI can see the advert now ....Swamp Analytics...Strain the Drain 😶
C’mon
2023-05-30 18:59:33 +0000 UTCYep, he’s had enough of Swiss podcasters so he’s starting Strain Disinformation Analysis LLC to work for the feds.
2023-05-30 18:05:34 +0000 UTCWhoah whoah whoah, why is this Travis’ “last show”? Didn’t sound like a “I’m quitting cause this is a nightmare” gag…
2023-05-30 15:54:32 +0000 UTCI certainly hope that was disinformation

2023-05-30 12:55:55 +0000 UTCTravis' naive hope for Chansley is a clear symptom of Jake's absence from the pod. - Also, we ALL know why right-wingers were loudly clanging about the misinfo department being Orwellian and shit, they ain't fooling anyone with that old tripe. Would be nice if they read any other book at all though (or pretend they did lol).

2023-05-30 12:01:25 +0000 UTCI think they interviewed Mike Flynn. Q-Daddy

2023-05-30 03:40:15 +0000 UTCAnd, at 55:00, I’m not “the good family man”. I’m rational and care about this damned country.

2023-05-30 02:33:06 +0000 UTCJust think: You're Fox Mulder, assigned to the wackiest parts of, what seemed to be while the world was growing up, the oblong bits of society/the world. "Find out the truth, but don't raise any noise." One teeny group against the giant machine. It is hard to be one or a few to go against those who still think their Russian/slavic language degree should be highly valuable, or that uneducated and naive ma and pa public is actually a dangerous thing.

2023-05-30 02:23:32 +0000 UTCYeah ..the "weaponization of government" brought to you by Weaponizing the Government 🤣 Very interesting episode, full of great stuff 😁 Livs analysis was dead on. Love it when she weighs in.
C’mon
2023-05-29 22:57:43 +0000 UTCYes, We're the Government folks. WE are the deep state. Plain old shlubs without a single antenna or extra eyeball ....*sigh* 😞 😆
C’mon
