‘Astroturfing’ behind social clamor.
Identified as Astroturfing, a technical simulation of activities of a crowd in a social network, using algorithms influencing people to interact in concert without revealing their collusion with private interests. This tool intended to stage a crowd phenomena in an environment such as Facebook, Twitter and so on. It’s very efficient in influencing the perception of the users of a platform or to give more visibility to a subject, artificially fabricating its popularity. This phenomenon is applied coopting authentic citizen’s discourse on behalf of the American’s corporations’ interests is behind the social clamor used as motto of all those uplifts. It has been used as excuse to overturn the entire political social framework of the countries, opening room to Washington aligned agents for subduing other countries strategic interests.
Using ‘dark money’ to subvert countries’ political social stability is a crucial, but little-understood, part of a toolkit of techniques that have been used, with accelerating intensity, to influence major Developing countries and transition states over the last decade. Armored divisions or aircraft carriers are redundant if an adversary can secure direct influence at the national-leadership level, that’s what the USA’s linked dark money is doing in the International political system.
Non State Agents (NSA) as Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and Twitter are an open door for this political influence and it’s proven having a major effect over a changing people’s behavior changing strategy.
It acquiesces effective actions from a strategic geopolitical point of view. A great “propaganda game” aiming at the destabilization of democratic governments allowing the economic and social collapse of the countries.
A spy tool behind everything
An association between the “5 eyes” (USA, Canada, New Zealand, Great Britain and Australia) using electronic surveillance to spy and study the behavior of immigrant populations, allowing better manipulation of the public opinion in locus. It happens through the study of the behaviors of immigrant populations and helps Developed countries in their process of strategic decisions make.
These countries have a very organized and structured migration’s system what gives them full access to enormous samples of people migrating from the aimed countries. Studying and understanding their migrant’s populations behavior allows them to better understand wich propaganda tools could be used according to their strategic interests.

“this is indeed a form of information warfare, initiated and nurtured by the West, which we have been witnessing for over a thousand years, a hostility naturally prolonged […]”
Arab spring in the Middle-East, the parliamentary media-made Coups d’État in Latin America and the Orange revolution in Ukraine are some examples of the powerful capabilities of these communications’ war tools.
As in the times of the cold war, they’re notably aiming in the eastern world and we can already notice the signs of its effectiveness, analyzing the last geopolitical episodes involving China, as in Taiwan and recently in Hong Kong.

Each of the “5 eyes” has its own legislation that allows legitimately web-surveillance (electronic spying) within their national territories. It turns out that what is not foreseen or mentioned in the legislation is the fact that this information will be exchanged with the other partners, in a kind of large espionage network that exercises control over large migrant populations inside their respective diaspora communities. As per Carly Nyst, Head of International Advocacy at Privacy International, “There is no clear and accessible legal regime that specifies the circumstances in which, Five Eyes authorities can request access to signals intelligence from, or provide such intelligence, to another Five Eyes authority”. It is a lucrative game that gives easy and free access to a real avalanche of strategic information promoted by immigrants themselves in the process of reestablishing their professional careers during immigration processes.
The mechanism.
“The role of digital communication has been given a lot of credit and influence in its presumed power to bring about change in society, on a local or national or global level”
Greg Simons, PhD in the Institute for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Uppsala University
Employment interviews with partner companies are offered, simulating job opportunities in very strategic industries, where enormous amount of information can be obtained without the slightest effort, using only goodwill, good faith, and the interest in career progress. It makes legal migrants (who decided to try luck beyond their national borders) reveal a huge amount of important knowledge and information. This process involves unveiling strategic knowledge to try to have a well payed job opportunity, in addition to social factors such as sabotage to immigrant professionals (often rising to conditions close to the line of poverty).
Privacy invasion, home surveillance on immigrant’s populations in convergence with artificial intelligence, neurolinguistics analyses are used to understand how these populations in the international context react to the political arbitrariness.
As per Greg Simons, PhD in the Institute for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Uppsala University, “The role of digital communication has been given a lot of credit and influence in its presumed power to bring about change in society, on a local or national or global level”. Private media is being used as a fundamental piece of this gear and composes with Bigdata and private industries largely funded by American private capital. These media adopt a radical bias in their content control and political discourse. Many of these media companies are involved with large scandals of bribery and currency evasion as in the Mossack Foseca’s case, where an enormous amount of companies, linked to tax evasion was discovered unveiling the biggest money laundering’s scandal of the history.
Those media corroborate to this strategy harboring and disseminating specific information obtained by the intelligence services, deepening the internal political tensions and leading to monumental economic crises. Social upheavals are created to provide access to natural resources in association with technocrat leaderships, regardless of whether the aim countries are historically partners in war or trade. A very efficient machine that allows, in an extremely short period, the polarization of the public opinion through Fascist-type propaganda, based on false news, political persecution and reputations assassinations, leading to social chaos and the consequent overthrow of authentic governments despite any legal framework.
Undercovering the [un]coverable
After the period of economic destabilization, a radical political spiral is set up. Alliances keep been maiden behind the scenes. Smoke curtain are set up in the medias programming. Diplomats and intelligence community staff start to dictate the political agenda and measures to be taken by those replacing local aims already defeated. A continuous process of radicalization is set in place with a clear objective: find among the “cyber-invaded” populations martyrs capable of giving their lives for a cause, and thus, increasing further the tensions. It often leads in the subjugation of the national sovereignty in several countries. A lucrative game that allows the complete expropriation of nations’ assets and natural resources under the aegis of “helping to stabilize”.
