Infrastructure 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.

C’mon

Yes, We're the Government folks. WE are the deep state. Plain old shlubs without a single antenna or extra eyeball ....*sigh* 😞 😆

C’mon

Yeah ..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.

Just 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.

And, at 55:00, I’m not “the good family man”. I’m rational and care about this damned country.

I think they interviewed Mike Flynn. Q-Daddy

Travis' 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).

Whoah whoah whoah, why is this Travis’ “last show”? Didn’t sound like a “I’m quitting cause this is a nightmare” gag…

Yep, he’s had enough of Swiss podcasters so he’s starting Strain Disinformation Analysis LLC to work for the feds.

C’mon

Travis 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.

This 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.

It’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

I assume that was the Strain Disinfo revving up and not really Travis's last show. Great episode, thank you.

Travis is really coming into his savage era and I love that for him

The last 5-6 episodes (including premium) have been exceptional

This episode made me think and now my brain hurts where the hell is Jake.

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.
