How a Liberal Scholar of Conspiracy Theories Became the Subject of a Right-Wing Conspiracy Theory

After publishing an academic paper about how misinformation and paranoia spreads online, Cass Sunstein fell victim to the very mechanisms he’d described.
www.newyorker.com www.newyorker.com

"The paper, called “Conspiracy Theories,” was first published in 2008, in a small academic journal called the Journal of Political Philosophy. In it, Sunstein and his Harvard colleague Adrian Vermeule attempted to explain how conspiracy theories spread, especially online. At one point, they made a radical proposal: “Our main policy claim here is that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories.” The authors’ primary example of a conspiracy theory was the belief that 9/11 was an inside job; they defined “cognitive infiltration” as a program “whereby government agents or their allies (acting either virtually or in real space, and either openly or anonymously) will undermine the crippled epistemology of believers by planting doubts about the theories and stylized facts that circulate within such groups.”

Being weak on unions and the police are constants with both parties. There is a clear incentive to keep people poor and keep overcharging them with crimes. Private prisons come to mind in that regard. It's sad.

US Forces Transfer New Batch of Daesh Terrorists to Syria's Dayr al-Zawr: SANA

"Syria's official news agency SANA, citing local sources, said on Sunday that US helicopters conducted the operation in al-Shadadi, a suburban of Hasakah, taking at least ten Daesh terrorists towards al-Badia in Dayr al-Zawr province.

The US forces have until recently been airlifting Daesh terrorists from one place in Syria to another, under the cover of darkness, in order to save them in the face of advancement and territorial gains by Syrian government forces.

The US military forces have also transferred to safe sanctuaries hundreds of Daesh terrorists and their relatives from Syrian territories to neighboring Iraq in a number of batches.

There have been many reports showing Washington's direct or indirect support through its regional allies for the terrorist group in the past years.

Numerous accounts have emerged alleging airlifts, weapon airdrops and aerial support for the Takfiri outfit, especially as its strength diminished in Syria and Iraq."
