The best way to interrupt meaningful inquiry into government or corporate malfeasance is to infiltrate the narrative with wild opinions and theories. Our feral elite have determined that rather than denying the malfeasance it’s better to flood the zone with cray-cray.
The cognitive infiltration is in response to the new information environment where the corporate media has lost institutional credibility and has been replaced by social media and the internet. The availability of new and controversial information on the internet and social media has bypassed traditional gatekeepers and a new tool was required, and what has emerged is an effort to control the narrative by discrediting any non-official version.

In 2008 Cass Sunstein, co-authored a paper suggesting a strategy by which the government could disrupt and defeat the increasingly troublesome movement of “conspiracy theorists,” especially those who questioned the official story of the 9/11 attacks a few years earlier. Back then the Internet was far less channeled and regulated and few effective means existed for the political establishment to curtail this new free-for-all sharing of what they eventually labeled “disinformation”. Sunstein, soon to become a top Obama aide, cleverly suggested that all of this naughty “wrong-think” could best be undermined and disrupted by means of “cognitive infiltration.” Agents of the government or its close allies should join those online communities and promote a wide range of additional theories, often rather crazy ones, thereby stirring up internal conflicts, diverting the members into theoretical dead-ends, and heavily discrediting them with the broader American public.
None of this is particularly new, but the Wild West of the internet has proved problematic for the powers that be because it provides fertile ground for the dissemination of “disinformation”. Think of COINTELLPRO–with the FBI’s use of black propaganda and agent provocateurs. The purpose of COINTELPRO, after all, was to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” the Black Panthers, American Indian Movement, anti-war protestors, and radicals in general. It’s notable that COINTELPRO was eventually declared illegal because it violated the rights of free speech and association.
In False Flags—A Template for Terror, Michael Collins Piper presciently described cognitive infiltration as a very effective means of confusing and frustrating all investigatory efforts by citizen-activists. Piper argued that a small group of establishment operatives have successfully manipulated social media and internet chat groups, that soon dominated the online narrative. But as Piper points out, the ultimate result was to “severely damage the credibility of all conspiracy theories”.

There’s much evidence that cognitive infiltration has been deployed in response to American citizens questioning official stories. Think the Sandy Hook shooting and resulting insanity. And the QAnon psy-op, that portrayed Trump as a real-life superhero saving trafficked children from the Pizza-gate pedophiles. Don’t forget the Epstein scandal where efforts to disperse the interest in the larger Epstein scandal were underway long before the pedophile was rearrested and “suicided.” I was not surprised to discover that QAnon itself and the 4chan /pol/ board where it originated were confirmed as Israeli intelligence honeypots, with half of all /pol/ posts originating from IP addresses in that country.
Presently, Zionism is the single greatest threat to free speech in the western world and cognitive infiltration is targeted against those who oppose Israel.
The EU and Western so-called democracies have simply resorted to mass censorship and outright outlawing speech that’s critical of Israel. In Great Britain, “journalists, human rights activists and lawyers face a a legal minefield” every time they try to talk about the Gaza genocide, the trials of people accused of belonging to Palestine Action, or the hunger strikes of those on remand over attacks on weapons factories supplying killer drones to Israel.
That is what authoritarian governments do.

The US, despite the Bill of Rights, is headed that way too. Censorship and attacks on free speech are nothing new on either side of the Atlantic, to state the obvious. The Biden regime was notable for its connivances with Silicon Valley and its assaults on free speech. These have worsened dramatically during the first year of Trump’s second term. Larry Ellison’s family has been buying up media platforms like CBS where rabid Zionist Bari Weiss has been put in command, and purchasing control of TikTok after Congress forced its sale to stomp out criticism of Israel. President Donald Trump has indeed repeatedly admitted to being controlled by mega-donor Miriam Adelson, the world’s richest Israeli.
Cognitive infiltration will continue where’s it’e expedient while outright censorship always remains an option. The Biden Administration followed the EU in their efforts to censor, while the Trump Administration is sanctioning EU officials over censorship, but don’t be fooled.
The late, great Frank Zappa summed up our dilemma–“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
