Brickbat: Never Let an Opportunity Go to Waste

An investigation has found that the Canadian military used the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to turn on the Canadian people propaganda techniques intended to be used against foreign enemies. The plan was developed by Canadian Joint Operations Command without the direction of civilian leadership.  Military officials said the project was aimed at bolstering government messages about the disease and at stopping civil disobedience to pandemic restrictions. A separate effort collected information about Black Lives Matter gatherings and the movement's leaders. Military officers said these tactics were somehow needed to aid military efforts to help at long-term care homes and to deliver vaccines to remote communities.

Why must you make the government hit you? You know it loves you and cares deeply about you, you know how much it hurts it to have to hit you.

The Canadian Forces had to launch an investigation after a September 2020 incident when military information operations staff forged a letter from the Nova Scotia government warning about wolves on the loose in a particular region of the province. The letter was inadvertently distributed to residents,

How do you "inadvertently" distribute a letter?

If only we had some well-known fable about why you shouldn't lie about wolves... On the other hand, does that even apply when you're pretending to be other people when you do it?

Truly we should pick every opportunity because we never know what difference it will make in our life, as recently I was worried about my career and was finding a job, | Cargo Dubai To Pakistan
| then got sad after some time; but then within the next week, I got an Internship.
I Hope the Best For You All.

It's getting bad when we start to troll the bots you know.

But points for being funny about it.

A plan devised by the Canadian Joint Operations Command relied on propaganda techniques similar to those employed during the Afghanistan war.

Oh no, when those techniques inevitably fail Canadians are going to be left stranded in the country when their military pull out.

[MatthewSlyfield]

I don't care who you are. That there is funny!. LOL

Why are we pretending that this is unique to Canada. Has anyone been watching what is happening in America these last 10 years?

Not Reason. But Forbes is:

Exclusive: Government Secretly Orders Google To Identify Anyone Who Searched A Sexual Assault Victim’s Name, Address And Telephone Number

The U.S. government is secretly ordering Google to provide data on anyone typing in certain search terms, an accidentally unsealed court document shows. There are fears such “keyword warrants” threaten to implicate innocent Web users in serious crimes and are more common than previously thought.

[m4019597]

If the story is true.

Forbes won’t publish this alleged order, name the judge who signed it, or identify the affiant who sought the order.

Much like the “hot girlfriend” that no one’s ever met.

Google is a private company, so NBD.

10 years? This was the exact thing that occurred in World War 1 with the Creel Committee. Members of which, after the war, created modern mass public relations, advertising, journalism, polling, and political science. Our world now doesn't exist without that manipulation of public opinion.

Bingo, I was going to say at least 50 years but yeah it goes back way before that.

Speaking of never letting an opportunity go to waste... CNN has an article prominently features on the main page in which Monica Lewinsky says Clinton abused his power in their relationship.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/05/politics/monica-lewinsky-social-media-cnntv/index.html

Why now? CNN defended Clinton 100% for decades....

Then you read the article.

Because Clinton took advantage of an intern, we need to regulate social media companies like Facebook.

No, seriously... Go have a read. That is what the article is about.

[Chumby]

Will anything be done to redress Lewinsky?

Gotta clean it first.

And then you have the police state here in America that has reduced our rights to mere privileges.

[BigT]

Thanks for the link. Great article.

In fact, in the face of the government’s ongoing power grabs, our so-called rights have been reduced to mere technicalities, privileges that can be granted and taken away, all with the general blessing of the courts.

This is what one would call a slow death by a thousand cuts, only it’s the Constitution being inexorably bled to death by the very institution (the judicial branch of government) that is supposed to be protecting it (and us) from government abuse.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

Thanks for the link; previously not familiar with Rutherford so I looked him up; seems like a pretty stand up organization excepting criticism from more liberal elements that they are pro Christian, not sufficiently anti homophobic, and are pro gun and against "zero tolerance" policies.

Guess the fail on the intersectionality scale; fine by me because those assholes are a bunch of authoritarians that don't really give a fly'n about civil liberties excepting those that favor them and fuck over you.

[Earth Skeptic]

But can we accuse government of grabbing power when so many people willingly if not eagerly give up freedom and demand a nanny state?

[Quo Usque Tandem]

Therein lies the problem; it's not that the tyrants are riding in on horseback and taking over, they being voted in; in exchange for promises of universal health care, and once that is a "human right" income, housing, food, and "higher" education follow; all accepted in exchange for converting rights into privileges.

And whatever the government giveth, and government can taketh away [and hold over you].

That is one of the most poorly written paragraphs I've ever attempted to read. I get where it's going, but every sentence needs to be rearranged for clarity.

As to content, did you think Canada was exempt from overreach?
