INFORMATION WARFARE BASICS
Information Warfare (IW) is the technical science devoted to all forms of non-kinetic, electronic-based covert, overt, and clandestine activities towards an adversary. The actions may be defensive, preemptive, offensive, or reactionary. The adversary may be an individual, a business interest or industry, or transnational actors or nation/state.
The overall goal of IW is to gain total information superiority over a populace, an interest group, a government, or other group(s) whereby the dominating force is able to manipulate, control, and shape the perspective of a target.
What most do not realize is exactly how technical and encompassing the science of IW is.
Q is a white (friendly) psychological operation (PSYOP). PSYOPS are just one tool within the IW toolbox. Why is a Q a PSYOP? Because Q uses non-traditional, electronic based communication tools to gather a disparate group of people (we, the Patriot Anons) together in one location (Voat) in order to build unity, spread information (and disinformation), and to bypass all commonly used forms of communications – print, broadcast, web-based news – in order to push out an unadulterated message. Radio Free Europe and (once) Voice of America are older examples of the same type of PSYOP, using older technologies.

Drilling down more, we get into what is known as Memetic Warfare (MW). MW is a “tool” used in conjunction with larger IW operations. MW is so critical to today’s cyber battlefield, that DARPA has dedicated substantial resources to the topic. USCYBERCOM is also heavily involved: https://medium.com/@MichaelMcBride/why-the-us-government-spent-millions-weaponizing-memes-a894cec5a2d2
Why is this important? Why should you care? Because all of us are guilty of passing along memes filled with misinformation and worse, disinformation.
CASE STUDY:
This OP was built from a meme which has been circulating around for several years: “The Loudmouths All Have Dual Citizenship…with Israel” https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/2737978
Note: Personally speaking, no one with dual-citizenship should be able to hold an office in Congress or become a political appointee.
Makes sense, right? Believe me, I’d like to see every single one of the POS on said list out of office, or worse, depending on their level of corruption. Not because they are Jews, but because they are all most likely very corrupt.
There’s one problem, though. No one ever bothered to do some basic fact-checking:
• None of the memes regarding elected officials with dual US-ISR citizenship had a citation or source listed.
• None of the “supporting” web articles from fringe sites contain a citation or source.
• There is evidence to support any of the politicians listed hold dual-citizenship.
• Breitbart (a trusted source) refuted the claim that Bernie Sanders held dual-citizenship: https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/06/10/host-accuses-jewish-sen-bernie-sanders-of-being-israeli-citizen-based-on-facebook-comment/
• The origins of this list are traced back to this article (about Sanders), where the list is mentioned: “Rehm responded by saying that she had mistakenly thought Sanders was on a list of politicians with alleged Israeli citizenship compiled by a radical pro-Palestinian activist who, as Jared Sichel at the Jewish Journal points out, was killed in Gaza in 2011.” Source: https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/no-bernie-sanders-does-not-have-dual-israeli-citizenship-1.5371082
Who is the source for the Name-The-Jew-Politician list? It’s none other than Vittorio Arrigoni, “Hero of Palestine”: https://electronicintifada.net/content/vittorio-arrigoni-hero-palestine/9307 Arrigoni, an Italian pro-Palestine journalist and solidarity activist. Arrigoni was killed in 2011 by another rival terror group within Gaza.
This leaves 2 possible outcomes for those who repost this narrative:
1) Misinformation: The poster does not put in the requisite research and investigation to determine if the provided information is true, false, or in question. This happens frequently and occurs based on a trait of human nature – intellectual laziness and lack of training in critical thinking and research.
2) Disinformation: The poster of the information does not care about the veracity and uses it to promote and influence an audience in order to achieve a greater goal. In this case, promoting of the “Jews control the world” narrative.
Understand this is not some impassioned, pro-Zionist, pro-Israel call to arms in the form of counterpropaganda. This post is in reaction to a very narrow-scope disinformation narrative which can be disproved. Hopefully, many of you promoting disinformation should pause for thought at the most likely source of this information – a pro-Palestine radical Leftist.
Use your mind people. Don’t believe everything you read. Unless you want to. Then you are a sheep.

Hmmmm. The list from the GA link has been removed. Musta hit a nerve. I would like to have seen more than just Bern debunked here.

Just search "dual citizen Congress". I'm sure Google will ensure that all the choice disinfo links are at the top of the search results. Of course, there is nothing to support it, so that's about all you'll find except the little bits I cited.

Case study of disinformation:
Known kike-shill faggot OP @21BlackDicks begins with a disclaimer that he advocates ZERO DUAL-CITIZENS, then debunks a single name on a long list to suggest they could all be false. If he really cared he'd have investigated the whole list to accurately determine the percentage.
His real goal is to gaslight readers and trivialize the recruiting of resident-abroad Jews, despite this being acknowledged fact called "Sayanim" ("volunteers")
But of course we know he supports Israel because they're "our greatest ally" against the (in his comical words) "Islamofascists." (FBI, an exclusively domestic agency with a field office in Israel & collaboration programs with the Jewish ADL, admits to instigating over 50% of Islamic attacks thru their informants, including original WTC bombing.)
Next he'll debunk how 90% of the mass/school shooters are Jews as well as the lawmakers who spring into action to take our guns away.
Fucking Bill O'Reilly-tier boomer faggot thinks we will fall for his blatant shilling LMAO.
You have always been so fucking inept at this, dude. Always trying to debunk the most widely-accepted stuff instead of conceding it.

If I were so "inept" at this, then why are you lighting yourself on fire to counter me? And for that matter, why are you not able to make a counterpoint involving quality citations?
Go fuck yourself.

And this is a typical shill response for those wishing to learn ^^^^
