Executive Intelligence Review, Volume 14, Number 34, August 28 "EIR has commissioned this White Paper to bring the truth on the developing Panama crisis to American citizens and lawmakers, so that decisive action can be taken to stop this campaign, before the United States faces a new strategic crisis on its southern flank." White Paper on the Panama crisis Who's out to destabilize the U.S. ally, and why While the New York Times and other major media pump out "news" on Panama to fit these plans, North Carolina's Sen. Jesse Helms, the U. S. State Department, and sections of the Reagan administration have joined in a campaign to overthrow Panama's government and Defense Forces, allegedly because they have been taken over by the narcotics trade. Therefore, the United States must bring to power Panama's "democratic opposition" movement. As this report shows, the principal figures in the "democratic opposition" movement are drug-mon�y launderers, lawyers for cocaine and marijuana traffickers, terrorists, and gun-runners. Their presidential" candidate, Arnulfo Arias Madrid, is a life-long Nazi.

Fourteen years later, RT has become a self- described tool for information warfare and is under increasing scrutiny from the United States government for allegedly fomenting unrest and undermining democracy. It has also grown far beyond its television roots, achieving a broad diffusion across a variety of digital platforms.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1162/jcws_a_00907. https://hdiplo.org/to/AR998 Review Editors: Thomas Maddux and Diane Labrosse | Production Editor: George Fujii Review by Meredith L. Roman, SUNY Brockport ouglas Selvage’s in-depth exploration of the role that the Soviet Committee on State Security (KGB) and the East German Ministry for State Security (Stasi) and its Main Directorate for Intelligence (HVA) played in spreading Ddisinformation about the origins of the HIV virus that causes AIDS is particularly timely. The global COVID-19 pandemic has inspired conspiracy theories and disinformation efforts that are not based on scientific evidence but on racial prejudices in the case of the Trump White House, and, with regard to President Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin, a history inherited from its Soviet predecessor of identifying the CIA as an evil mastermind of infectious diseases. Selvage’s impressive research yields a detailed, multi-layered analysis of the ways in which different actors with varying objectives invested in the narrative that the U.S. government created the HIV virus as part of its bioweapons research program for its potential use in a future war or against despised groups domestically and internationally. “Operation ‘Denver’” is the first installment in a two-part essay project that draws partly on a monograph Selvage co-published in the German language in 2014 with historian Christopher Nehring.1 In this article, Selvage contends that the Stasi and HVA played an auxiliary role in the 1985-1986 efforts of the KGB to spread disinformation about AIDS, but assumed a more prominent role in the campaign by 1987 – the evidence of which he will outline in a future essay.

  • Disinformation Campaigns in Social Media
    Institute of Information Security University of Stuttgart Universitätsstraße 38 D–70569 Stuttgart Bachelorarbeit Disinformation Campaigns in Social Media Robin Sliwa Course of Study: Informatik Examiner: Prof. Dr. Ralf Küsters Supervisor: Dipl.-Inf. Guido Schmitz Commenced: October 23, 2019 Completed: June 29, 2020 Abstract In an increasingly digitally connected world, social networks have become a large factor in news consumption, discussion and staying connected to friends. This thesis aims to give an overview over how this new platform has been a vector for the conduction of disinformation campaigns. Beyond the prime example - possible Russian disinformation in the U.S. from 2015 to 2017 - and its efficacy, further candidates as well as the historical context, technical aspects and the public response are touched upon. The U.S. election of 2016 is evidently a well-documented example of an election targeted by a large-scale disinformation campaign conducted through social media. Indications exist that campaigns are also being conducted in other political contexts (France, 2017) and with contexts extending into economics. This thesis also finds that more research is needed to systematically detect and investigate disinformation campaigns, especially in order to measure and contain their real-world impact. 3 Contents 1 Introduction 11 2 Disinformation Campaigns 13 2.1 Historic Development ............................... 13 2.1.1 Operation Denver .............................. 13 2.1.2 Western Disinformation .......................... 15 2.1.3 Online Information Campaigns ....................... 16 2.2 The US Election of 2016 ............................. 18 2.2.1 Timeline of Discovery ........................... 19 2.2.2 The IRA .................................. 20 2.2.3 Facebook Operations ............................ 21 2.2.4 Instagram Operations ...........................

No part of this publication may be reproduced, copied, archived, retained or transmitted through print, speech or electronic media without prior written approval from ORF. The Weaponisation of Disease Outbreaks Saurabh Todi Abstract This brief examines how fear and anxiety during a disease outbreak can be exploited by state and non-state actors to further their political, strategic, or ideological agendas. Such fear, compounded by religious and cultural strife, or unfamiliarity with socio- cultural beliefs can provide fertile ground for the spread of misinformation from malicious actors. The brief illustrates these patterns using examples where information had been weaponised during an outbreak, such as those of HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Polio, and COVID-19. Attribution: Saurabh Todi, “The Weaponisation of Disease Outbreaks,” ORF Issue Brief No. 483, July 2021, Observer Research Foundation. 01 he weaponisation of information during outbreaks of disease can impact large populations and its effects persist for a long time. Broadly defined, the ‘weaponisation’ of a disease outbreak refers to the exploitation of such health crises by state and non-state actors to achieve their political, religious, or geostrategic agenda. TThis may take many forms, depending on local, regional, and global factors that include the vested interests of those who are weaponising the outbreak. Some of the strategies may include wielding disinformation to serve as propaganda against adversaries, use of violence to deny access to medical care, and spread of misinformation to generate political mileage. Conducting an analysis of how an outbreak has been in the past weaponised, can help create an understanding of how these tactics are often deployed and, consequently, how they can be arrested.

At the same time, this concept remains rather debatable and is often criticized, mainly because there is no exact paradigm approach attached to it. Criticism mostly concerns the “novelty” aspect of the hybrid war phenomenon. At first glance, this criticism is fair enough, since indeed, most of the tools and methods applied in the current hybrid war have been introduced and commonly used much earlier. This conformity of the set of pressure methods applied against the other state with the general goal is the main characteristic of “active measures.” This notion is also not new, it goes back to the times of Soviet intelligence services, when deceptive informa- tion, agents of influence, quasi-civil organization, and information pressure became quite common tools. And today, all these practices are again on the agenda. Curiously, very often their form is exactly the same. Until 2014 Russia’s “active measures” were only a simple tool of permanent influ- ence on Ukraine, and total disregard of these tools applied on the country ended up in a hybrid war.
