8. emigre super blocs part viii:the quasi-legal coup-hillary clinton information operations in election 2016 . <u+201c>the purpose of <u+201c> inform and influence operations <u+201d> is not to provide a perspective, opinion, or lay out a policy. it is defined as the ability to make audiences <u+201c>think and act<u+201d> in a manner favorable to the mission objectives. this is done through applying perception management techniques which target the audiences emotions, motives, and reasoning.




these techniques are not geared for debate. it is to overwhelm and change the target psyche. 




using these techniques information sources can be manipulated and those that write, speak, or think counter to the objective are relegated as propaganda, ill-informed, or irrelevant. ~ global research, us psychological warfare in ukraine .<u+201d> 




w hat if the strife, rumor, and clamor that the world has seen in the presidential campaign were part and parcel of an inform and influence operation against americans to determine the election outcome? bear with me for a moment as i lay out the proofs. the quote above is from an early 2015 article with the author showing what it could look like in the civilian world. 




<u+201d> what would we do? disrupt, deny, degrade, deceive, corrupt, usurp or destroy the information. the information, please don<u+2019>t forget, is the ultimate objective of cyber. that will directly impact the decision-making process of the adversary<u+2019>s leader who is the ultimate target.<u+201d> <u+2013> joel harding 




io or iio (inform and influence operations) as defined by the us army includes the fields of psychological operations and military deception. all of this is used in the civilian world the same way by private contractors. 




in this election, private contractors were hired to focus their capacity to influence the american population. this is proven and you deserve a step by step look at it if you are voting. 




what project veritas shows is damning evidence of what i have been documenting in the emigre series articles since spring 2016. 




by using mainstream media, they started an integrated approach which includes influencing their political opponent<u+2019>s decision making. media is given messages that follow the same themes and fill the entire information space by using an across the board effort. the effort drowns out any other message. 




according to the observer, this has been happening throughout the election cycle to benefit hillary clinton. <u+201c> rather than informing voters to enrich democracy , the mainstream media has developed a feedback loop between support for particular candidates and the political agenda they intend to support. the freedom of the press is necessary for a democracy to function.<u+201d> the article further points out that it was the media that helped rig the primaries against bernie sanders. 




wikileaks has clearly shown the interplay between mainstream media and the clinton campaign. and they have shown clearly that most of the mainstream media are working to influence the election . this goes beyond partisan electioneering. all of this follows the exact pattern, a well planned information operation against the american public . 




as secretary of state, hillary clinton was also the ex-officio board member of the bbg . the bbg (broadcasting board of governors) run rfe/rl (radio free europe/ radio liberty). most of the 8-member board, appointed by the president of the united states, are the who<u+2019>s who of powerful media moguls in film, news, print, and radio. appointment to the bbg is like being awarded an ambassador position for the media industry. it<u+2019>s also why big media carries the same line or themes. 




the 7th member of the board of directors which runs rfe/rl is mathew armstrong . he is a longtime friend and mentor to retired brigadier general joel harding. he provides harding a lot of access and influence in media. armstrong<u+2019>s background is public relations. he is an expert in io and iio operations. his bio: author, lecturer, and strategist on public diplomacy and international media . he has worked on traditional and emerging security issues with both civilian and military government agencies, news organizations, think tanks, and academia across several continents. 




in what appears to be a conflict of interest, at least two bbg board members are working actively for the hillary clinton presidential campaign. 




karen kornbluh is helping refine and to get hillary clinton<u+2019>s message out. <u+201d> all of them are names to watch if clinton wins <u+2014> and key jobs at the fcc and other federal agencies are up for grabs.<u+201d> 




according to her bio : karen founded the new america foundation<u+2019>s work and family program and is a senior fellow for digital policy at the council on foreign relations. karen has written extensively about technology policy, women, and family policy for the atlantic , the new york times and the washington post . new york times columnist david brooks cited her democracy article <u+201c>families valued,<u+201d> focused on <u+201c>juggler families<u+201d> as one of the best magazine articles of 2006. michael kempner is the founder, president and chief executive officer of mww group, a staunch hillary clinton supporter, and may get a greater role if she is elected . kempner is a member of the public relations hall of fame. michael kempner hired anthony weiner after the sexting scandal broke in 2011. 




jeff shell, chairman of the bbg and universal filmed entertainment is supporting a secondary role by being an honor roll donor to the atlantic council . while the bbg is supposed to be neutral it has continuously helped increase tensions in eastern europe. while giving to the atlantic council may not be illegal while in his position, currently, the atlantic council<u+2019>s main effort is to ignite a war with russia. this may set up a major conflict of interest. 




according to journalist robert parry <u+201c>the people that will be taking senior positions and especially in foreign policy believe <u+201c>this consensus is driven by a broad-based backlash against a president who has repeatedly stressed the dangers of overreach and the need for restraint, especially in the middle east.<u+201d> 




parry goes on to say that at the forefront of this is the atlantic council, a think tank associated with nato. their main goal is a major confrontation with nuclear-armed russia. 




the atlantic council is the think tank for the ceec (central and eastern european coalition) which is associated with nato. the ceec has only one goal. the question it poses to candidates that mattered is <u+201c>are you willing to go to war with russia?<u+201d> hillary clinton has received their unqualified support throughout the campaign. 




the central and eastern european coalition represent the various central and eastern european countries to the us government. what makes them special in an election is that they control a 20 million person strong bloc vote in key states across the country and sway elections by themselves. the price of a clinton win is war with russia. 




while the rest of the bbg board support clinton<u+2019>s proposed policy of closing syrian airspace, the ceec wants it because it will mean direct conflict with russia. hillary clinton<u+2019>s first foray into islamic politics led to genocide and made the way for isis setting up training camps in kosovo. hillary clinton has been friendly with jihadists for as long as she has had a national political career. according to us special forces on the ground in syria training the moderates, there are no moderates to train . 




green berets are forced to train jihadis that they know will eventually attack us. support our troops? give them good, honorable missions. they deserve better, don<u+2019>t they? 




as you go through the above links, the information is staggering. shown are large groups of people strategically located in swing states that will do anything to get her elected. the question is why? 




politically, we have a two party system. if you say you are republican, people have at least a general idea of what you mean. for democrats, it<u+2019>s no different. there are different kinds of politics that fit easily under each umbrella. but the point is they are recognizable and we know where they stand on issues. 




tell me, what are ounb beliefs? ounb is a political party and set of beliefs just like republican or democrat. the reason i am asking is that you can<u+2019>t tell me. the odds are you haven<u+2019>t heard about it before. when the atlantic council or the project for the new american century takes all the senior positions in the clinton white house, it will be filled with ounb and similar political partisans for the first time without dissenting voices. 




<u+201c>unity to act when required has been the diaspora<u+2019>s mantra <u+2013> this cannot be disputed . 




as time moves on, we see that things take a natural course. we see that two wings of the oun <u+2013> (ounb)banderivtsi and (ounm)melnykivtsi <u+2013> are working actively on the international level, working in partnership and currently are in strong negotiations about becoming a single entity again.<u+201d> 




the ounb political party started under stepan bandera and their political beliefs are quite literally nazi. in the 1930<u+2019>s they swore undying loyalty to adolf hitler and the diaspora was directing waffen ss battalions from america secretly even as other ukrainian emigres were fighting them. the ucca is the head of ounb thought in america and now they want america to celebrate their totalitarian beliefs with them. if you disagree with totalitarian politics, you are the enemy. after a brief description of what kind of beliefs the people have from the atlantic council that are taking up cabinet positions, the proof it is happening now follows. 




the ounb were the ss that manned the concentration camps during the holocaust. they successfully murdered 3 million war prisoners by starving them to death. the ounb killed over 250,000 jews, 500,000 ukrainians, and committed the first holocaust at babi yar. today the ucca is funding and running the volunteer battalions raping and killing in donbass the same way. 




they and the other emigre group leaders are also behind buying the media headlines and reach, damage control, and the information operation against americans today. if you want to know what american politics will look like within a few years, look at ukraine. 




there are people who live abroad, who do not feel fully accepted as a minority, and here there is a phenomenon which i call long-distance nationalism. . .the members of the diaspora create for themselves an image of the home land, which is a stronger emotional investment than the country in which they live<u+2026>one negative consequence of the diaspora experience is the emergence of what ander-son calls non-responsible politics: diaspora participation in the politics in the country with which they identify can often be toxic, and their impact can be felt through the funding of particular political figures, nationalist propaganda, and even weapons<u+2026>- multiculturalism, memory, and ritualization: ukrainian nationalist monuments in edmonton, alberta <u+2013> pers anders rudling 




with the field day the emigres and paid media had with donald trump over david duke, they forgot to tell you that ukrainian emigres supporting hillary clinton hired duke in ukraine as a professor of history and sent their american kids to learn there. almost all ukrainian politicians have been through this fascist education system known as maup . the ukrainian american and other likeminded ethnics are the people that will fill the senior foreign and domestic cabinet positions. 




<u+201c> ounb leader ivan kobasa also took responsibility of making sure the ukrainian-americans received the proper secondary education at ukrainian nationalist schools(maup) in ukraine. from the mid-2000<u+2019>s enrollment in this educational system has skyrocketed into the hundreds of thousands. today almost all members of the current ukrainian government are graduates of this ideological system that was taught to them by moderates like david duke who is also a graduate of the maup system.<u+201d> 




<u+201c>i do care about social and economic issues affecting every american, but given the war in ukraine, there is only one issue that we as ukrainian americans must focus on: ukraine . 




the ukrainian issue <u+201c>trumps<u+201d> all other personal issues! 




a vote for trump is a vote against ukraine! 




when it comes to u.s. elections, ukrainian americans are a statistically minor, divided, unorganized voting group. the central and east european coalition is a coalition of u.s.-based organizations that represent their countries of heritage, a voting group of over 20 million people. the ukrainian congress committee of america and the ukrainian national association are member organizations of the ceec. americans of east and central european heritage can make a significant difference and influence the election result if their attention is focused.<u+201d> ukraine weekly the presidential election: can we make a difference 




hillary clinton<u+2019>s response is she will defend ukraine<u+2019>s borders! even though it has no eastern or northern border to defend. she has guaranteed to start a war with russia if she is elected. 




not only is clinton buying the media through these second parties, but they are hiring professional, former military psyops professionals to deny pertinent information from voters and disrupt her political opponents message. at the same time, they are paying an across the board mainstream media to simultaneously publish articles and video that lift her campaign up, disrupt, destroy, and drown out alternate messages. 




wikileaks noted this when it exposed the clinton campaign<u+2019>s program to incite violence and obfuscate the point. the huffington post example of this is<u+201d> editor<u+2019>s note: donald trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar , rampant xenophobe , racist , misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all muslims <u+2014> 1.6 billion members of an entire religion <u+2014> from entering the u.s<u+201d>. 




<u+201c> we understand the clinton camp has hired beaucoup and zwanzig (a lot) of trolls, we also understand the kremlin has done the same. we just do not know if trump has followed suit. from a counterintelligence perspective, this is confusing as heck. 




one of the really neat things about this election is seeing all my information operations and information warfare friends on social media, contributing and commenting, looking darned intelligent! theirs is normally the voice of reason, maturity, and intelligence.<u+201d> joel harding 




by systematically and continually attacking the voter<u+2019>s psyche, americans are being treated in the same way our government treats countries they overthrow . the right to make an informed vote has been denied to support any particular candidate. 




what does an inform and influence operation entail against the american public? read the following carefully. the term <u+201c>anti-western<u+201d> refers to anyone that disagrees with whom he is working for. in this case, he works for the ukrainian emigres. this also covers syria. every media outlet or journalist writing about these subjects that aren<u+2019>t carrying the line he lays out is the enemy. these are the tactics being used today during the election. 




<u+201c>i am building a database of planners , operators, logisticians, hackers, and anyone wanting to be involved with special activities i will call <u+2018>inform and influence activities<u+2019>. i have received a few different suggestions to help organize operations <u+2013> of all sorts <u+2013> against anti-western elements. no government approval, assistance or funding. this skirts legalities. this is not explicitly illegal and it may not even be legal, at this point. that grey area extends a long way. i am only trying to assess the availability of people willing to participate in such efforts. technology, equipment and facility offers are also appreciated. if you would like to be included in my database, please send a tailored resume to joel_harding@<u+201d> 




if you don<u+2019>t think this is possible , this has been going on around you for a long time. look at the credentials of retired brigadier general joel harding and decide for yourself. but first look at what he promises he can do for you when you hire him. 




<u+201c> information operations and warfare, also known as influence operations, includes the collection of tactical, operational and strategic information about a competitor as well as the dissemination of information and propaganda in pursuit of a competitive advantage over an competitor or adversary in the corporate, government or military realm. 




it is our job to maximize your advantages over your competitor while minimizing your competitor. we work on the national level down to the individual level. we seek to give you every advantage possible in order to advance your position, increase your reputation, and maximize your standing in your field.<u+201d> 




<u+201c> bio- joel harding spent 26 years in the army ; his first nine years were spent as an enlisted soldier, mostly in special forces, as an sf qualified communicator and medic, on an a-team. after completing his degree, joel then received his commission as an infantry officer and after four years transitioned to the military intelligence corps. 




in the mid 1990s, joel was working in the joint staff j2 in support of special operations, where he began working in the new field called information operations. eligible receiver 1997 was his trial by fire, after that he became the joint staff j2 liaison for io to the cia, dia, nsa, disa and other assorted agencies in the washington dc area, working as the intelligence lead on the joint staff io response cell for solar sunrise and moonlight maze . joel followed this by a tour at soccent and then inscom, working in both io and intelligence.

with his resume, no guess work is needed to understand how effective his friends are. before going further, ask yourself if this is what elections are supposed to be? 




as a litmus test take hillary<u+2019>s name out and put down what is known just through wikileaks in a list. put mccain<u+2019>s name, kucinich, paul, bush, and ask yourself would this be an acceptable candidate? add what<u+2019>s been shown here. is there an acceptable candidate? 




if any of them would be acceptable, sorry like many others you drank the kool-aid already. 




<u+201c> i<u+2019>ve seen how our heroes, activists , journalists, and celebrities have completely sold their souls to support something no person with an iota of morality would do. i<u+2019>ve seen them say and do things to derail candidates who would have been a million times better for those less fortunate around us. it<u+2019>s unfortunate most pretend to fight the establishment, to act like they love the people more than they love the struggle and the relevance that it brings them. i am not one of those and i won<u+2019>t continue to be until the good lord takes me.<u+201d> cesar vargas 




hillary clinton is not a nazi. but every position of relevance will be filled with people that really are political nazis. they are technically integral nationalists. they look down on democracy in any form. at least now you know what kind of government you are voting for. 




regardless of who wins, there are 2000 tanks, artillery, and rockets pointed my way, waiting for this election to be over. i am an american that lives in donbass, and wrote many of the early breaking stories and much of the background about the conflict in ukraine. 




if you cannot objectively look and see a more sophisticated version of what happened here through 2014 is going on, i can<u+2019>t help you. soon the ounb will order the volunteer battalions to start killing civilians on a large scale again. i will go back to reporting on the war. 




if all these things weren<u+2019>t being done, i would keep it simply about policy. russia is not an enemy of the united states. instead, i believe i am witnessing a quiet coup that demands legality in america. 




if this information operation is allowed to win the 2016 presidency, then elections are fruitless. every other election will be based on the same strategy. they will have to be for any candidate to win. 




your voice, your views, your informed choice will no longer matter. the iio practitioner kills dissent. that<u+2019>s their job. they<u+2019>re only doing their job. gh eliason mr. eliason l ives in ukraine. he writes content and optimizes web based businesses across the globe for organic search results, technical issues, and design strategies. he is also a large project construction specialist. when fukushima happened it became known that he was a locked high rad specialist with a penchant for climbing. he was paid to climb a reactor at a sister plant to fukushima 3 because of a <u+201c>million dollar mistake<u+201d>. his now works in project safety.
