Molly K. McKew is an expert on information warfare and the narrative architect at New Media Frontier. She advised Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili’s government from 2009-13, and former Moldovan Prime Minister Vlad Filat in 2014-15.
On Tuesday morning—the day after the House Intelligence Committee voted along partisan lines to send Rep. Devin Nunes’ memo, alleging abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, to President Donald Trump for declassification—presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway was confronted with the idea that Russian trolls were promoting the #releasethememo hashtag online. She was offended. Russian trolls, she told a television interviewer, “have nothing to do with releasing the memo—that was a vote of the intelligence committee.” But her assertion is incorrect. The vote marked the culmination of a targeted, 11-day information operation that was amplified by computational propaganda techniques and aimed to change both public perceptions and the behavior of American lawmakers.
And it worked. By the time the memo got to the president, its release was a forgone conclusion—even before he had read it.
This bears repeating: Computational propaganda—defined as “the use of information and communication technologies to manipulate perceptions, affect cognition, and influence behavior”—has been used, successfully, to manipulate the perceptions of the American public and the actions of elected officials.
The analysis below, conducted by our team from the social media intelligence group New Media Frontier, shows that the #releasethememo campaign was fueled by, and likely originated from, computational propaganda. It is critical that we understand how this was done and what it means for the future of American democracy.
“We investigated, found that engagement as overwhelmingly organic, and driven by VITs” – Very Important Tweeters, including Wikileaks and congressman Steve King.
For reference around when it all began, and the propaganda surrounding the hashtag mentioned.
If you have any doubt now that Russian trolls = pedes, let that dissipate.
They literally waged a 5th generation warfare against frogs, and lost.
Like Pharaoh.
This shows the very operation they alleged to exist in support of Trump by Russia, in fact, did not exist.
Instead, they waged their very own campaign right then using the same TTP they alleged Trump and Russia to be guilty of.
They waged it against you, and I.
They set up a system of control, a panopticon.
Then, they pushed the gas on that until this very day.
But, where does that leave Twitter in all of this? What is this saying.
It looks like a narrative where they resisted, and if they continued, would cease to operate. Take that for what you will, but in a world where things around going one direction I guess some people take the position, "I was just following orders."
Conversely, what if they had stood their ground?
HEADLINE: "RUSSIA TAKEOVER OF TWITTER!"
Now, they're enemies of the 'state'.
Yikes.
They obviously chose to comply over that fate.
That's the irony, I suppose.
Here we are.
Expounding, what if Elon hadn't bought Twitter and this still leaked?
People will be angry when they figure out what these leaks are saying, on any front.
They won't be mad at Twitter, however. Not new Twitter.
First to Redemption, first to the Dollar.

The analysis below, conducted by our team from the social media intelligence group New Media Frontier, shows that the #releasethememo campaign was fueled by, and likely originated from, computational propaganda. It is critical that we understand how this was done and what it means for the future of American democracy.
“We investigated, found that engagement as overwhelmingly organic, and driven by VITs” – Very Important Tweeters, including Wikileaks and congressman Steve King.
For reference around when it all began, and the propaganda surrounding the hashtag mentioned.
If you have any doubt now that Russian trolls = pedes, let that dissipate.
They literally waged a 5th generation warfare against frogs, and lost.
Like Pharaoh.
This shows the very operation they alleged to exist in support of Trump by Russia, in fact, did not exist.
Instead, they waged their very own campaign right then using the same TTP they alleged Trump and Russia to be guilty of.
Then, they pushed the gas on that until this very day.

On Tuesday morning—the day after the House Intelligence Committee voted along partisan lines to send Rep. Devin Nunes’ memo, alleging abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, to President Donald Trump for declassification—presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway was confronted with the idea that Russian trolls were promoting the #releasethememo hashtag online. She was offended. Russian trolls, she told a television interviewer, “have nothing to do with releasing the memo—that was a vote of the intelligence committee.” But her assertion is incorrect. The vote marked the culmination of a targeted, 11-day information operation that was amplified by computational propaganda techniques and aimed to change both public perceptions and the behavior of American lawmakers.
And it worked. By the time the memo got to the president, its release was a forgone conclusion—even before he had read it.
This bears repeating: Computational propaganda—defined as “the use of information and communication technologies to manipulate perceptions, affect cognition, and influence behavior”—has been used, successfully, to manipulate the perceptions of the American public and the actions of elected officials.
