We, the comrades of
Unit 1012, strongly denounce the work of Helen Prejean on ending the death penalty. Her Book, ‘Dead Man Walking:
The Eyewitness Account Of The Death Penalty That Sparked a National Debate’,
is a Book full of lies, which we recommend people not to read it. We recommend
reading this book, ‘Dead Family Walking’.
We know that Helen
Prejean has misled the public by lying and lying. We will now educate people on
a propaganda technique known as Disinformation from Wikipedia and other links.
Disinformation is intentionally false or
inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. It is an act of deception
and false statements to convince someone of untruth. Disinformation should not
be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally
false.
Unlike traditional propaganda
techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to
manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting
conflicting information or supporting false conclusions. A common
disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false
conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the
whole (a limited hangout).
Another technique of concealing facts,
or censorship, is also used if the group can affect such control. When channels
of information cannot be completely closed, they can be rendered useless by
filling them with disinformation, effectively lowering their signal-to-noise
ratio and discrediting the opposition by association with many easily disproved
false claims.
Examples
In espionage or
military intelligence, disinformation is the
deliberate spreading of false information to mislead an enemy as to one's
position or course of action. In politics,
disinformation is the deliberate attempt to deflect voter support of an
opponent, disseminating false statements of innuendo based on a candidate's
vulnerabilities as revealed by opposition research. In both cases, it also
includes the distortion of true information in such a way as to render it
useless.
Disinformation may include
distribution of forged
documents,
manuscripts, and photographs, or spreading dangerous rumours and fabricated intelligence.
Its techniques may also be found in commerce and government,
used to try to undermine the position of a competitor.
Napoleonic
wars
In early 1799, a French fleet under
Vice-admiral Bruix was to depart from Brest, bound for
the Mediterranean. In March, the French purchased the chasse-marée
Rebecca and in April, they sent her with four swivel guns
and seven men, carrying a capitaine de frégate with false dispatches for
Ireland and the mission to let herself be captured. Rebecca gave herself
up to the hired armed cutter Black Joke on 27 April 1799,
luring Admiral Bridport to Ireland, away from the route of the French fleet
which successfully sailed south-west into Bruix' expedition of 1799.
World War
II and Cold War
A classic example of disinformation
occurred during World War II, preceding the Normandy
landings, in what would be known as Operation Fortitude. British intelligence
convinced the German Armed Forces that a much larger invasion force was about
to cross the English Channel from Kent, England.
In reality, the Normandy
landings were the main attempt at establishing a beachhead,
made easier by the German Command's reluctance to commit its armies. Another
act of World War II–era disinformation was Operation Mincemeat, where British intelligence
dressed up a corpse, equipped it with fake invasion plans, and floated it out
to sea where Axis troops would eventually recover it.
The Cold War
made disinformation a mainstream military and political tactic. Military
disinformation techniques were described by Vladimir
Volkoff.
The KGB
The comparative Russian
word is дезинформация, transliterated as "Dezinformatsiya", and was
used throughout the Soviet Union with a great deal of information about the KGBs activities coming
to light with the fall of the Soviet Union. According to
senior SVR officer Sergei Tretyakov, the KGB was responsible for
creating the entire nuclear winter story to stop the Pershing
missiles. Tretyakov says that from 1979 the KGB wanted to prevent the
United States from deploying the missiles in Western Europe and that, directed
by Yuri
Andropov, they distributed disinformation, based on a faked "doomsday
report" by the Soviet Academy of Sciences about the
effect of nuclear war on climate, to peace groups, the environmental movement
and the journal AMBIO. Another successful
example of Soviet disinformation was the publication in 1968 of Who's Who in
the CIA which was quoted as authoritative in the West until the early
1990s.
