I’m sure this may come as a shock to you, but military is hiring bloggers to work as moles, “verbally attack[ing] specific person[s] or promot[ing] a specific message.”

Wait, sorry, wrong link.

Here’s the article.

The author has issued a non-denial denial (“I got some positive feedback from people who read the article, but I don’t know if it led to anything.”) so you can safely assume that there are indeed paid “psy-ops” / “mindwar” operatives, on ur internets, fucking with ur heads.

Then again, this isn’t exactly news. But it may lead to some interesting FOIA requests…
