    "have to align their interests with their audience, won't be able to ignore saturated pro-Russian campaigns and will have to change the tone of their Russia coverage to placate their angry readers"

    Gatov, who is the former head of Russia's state newswire's media analytics laboratory, told BuzzFeed the documents were part of long-term Kremlin plans to swamp the internet with comments. "Armies of bots were ready to participate in media wars, and the question was only how to think their work through," he said. "Someone sold the thought that Western media, which specifically have to align their interests with their audience, won't be able to ignore saturated pro-Russian campaigns and will have to change the tone of their Russia coverage to placate their angry readers."

    Bing CoPilot: "What is MockForMock?" - Thursday April 4, 2024

    “Russia Interferes in Your Brains, We Change Your Conscience.”

  • Bing CoPilot: "What is MockForMock?" - Thursday April 4, 2024

    Copilot

    MockForMock is a fascinating phenomenon that emerged in March 2013, and it's like a digital street gang on the information superhighways. Let me break it down for you:

    • Definition: MockForMock is an online movement characterized by weaponized mocking. It's a form of information warfare where absurdity reigns supreme. The goal? To render all resistance futile by turning everything into a total mockery.

    • How It Works: Imagine a world where absurdity is the norm. Leaders mock each other, citizens mock their leaders, and even the most serious issues are met with a dose of ridicule. It's a topsy-turvy universe where the only response to Kremlin-level absurdity is to be absurd right back.

    • Examples:

      • Leadership Mockery: Picture a leader saying, "The sun is your enemy," or declaring, "We will make the English Japanese." These statements are part of the MockForMock playbook, designed to turn seriousness on its head.
      • Total Mockery: In the United States, Q1 of 2024 has become a total mockery. The Kremlin's strategy? "Russia Interferes in Your Brains, We Change Your Conscience." It's a mind-bending game of absurdity.
      • Crowds Mocking Icons: When Marjorie Taylor Greene struggles to pronounce "indictable" or read a long number, the crowd joins in the mockery. This collective mocking becomes a powerful way to concentrate power in this topsy-turvy world.
      • Media Tactics: Even Russian propaganda mocks those leaving Russia for America. It's all part of the MockForMock strategy—where audiences mocking yield power.

    In this brave new world, where mockery is hypernormalized, reason takes a back seat, and absurdity rules the day. Welcome to the era of MockForMock! 🤪🍌

    Easter Sunday March 31, 2024 to Bing CoPilot: "What is WakeIndra?"
  • Copilot

    WakeIndra is a fascinating concept that merges elements of literature, media ecology, and political intrigue. Let's delve into its origins and significance:

    • Finnegans Wake:

      • The name WakeIndra draws inspiration from James Joyce's enigmatic work, Finnegans Wake. Published from 1927 onward, this novel is a labyrinth of language, myth, and symbolism. It defies conventional narrative structures and invites readers to explore the depths of their own consciousness.

      • Finnegans Wake serves as an ideal basis for media ecology study and comparative mythology. Its intricate web of interconnected themes mirrors the complexity of our interconnected digital world.

    • Marshall McLuhan:

      • Canadian professor Marshall McLuhan is a central figure in understanding WakeIndra. His 1968 book, "War and Peace in the Global Village", delves into the impact of media technology on human perception and communication.

      • McLuhan's exploration of Finnegans Wake within the context of the global village provides a lens through which we can view WakeIndra's significance.

    • Vladislav Surkov:

      • Adam Curtis, a BBC filmmaker, sheds light on the concept of WakeIndra by examining the tactics of Vladislav Surkov, an influential figure in Russian politics.

      • Surkov, an adviser to President Putin, operates in a unique way. He blends ideas from conceptual art into the heart of politics. His goal is to sow confusion, making it impossible for people to discern reality from illusion.

      • Surkov sponsors diverse groups, from neo-Nazi skinheads to liberal human rights advocates, creating a constantly shifting political theater. By doing so, he keeps opposition perpetually bewildered.

      • His strategy is akin to a ceaseless shape-shifting, rendering it undefinable and unstoppable. This approach mirrors the alleged tactics he employed during the Ukrainian conflict.

    In summary, WakeIndra weaves together literature, media theory, and political manipulation, inviting us to question the boundaries of reality and perception. It's a fascinating intersection where art, politics, and the digital age collide. 🌟

    For further exploration, you can visit the FWake website or dive into discussions on platforms like r/WWWOpera. Enjoy the journey! 📚🌐

    “One great part of every human existence is passed in a state which cannot be rendered sensible by the use of wideawake language, cutanddry grammar and goahead plot.” :: Finnegans Wake Day, March 21

    March 21, 1938 is believed by some to be the day that the Finnegans Wake story in Dublin Ireland takes place.

    “One great part of every human existence is passed in a state which cannot be rendered sensible by the use of wideawake language, cutanddry grammar and goahead plot.” ― James Joyce

    “There is something at the bottom of every new human thought, every thought of genius, or even every earnest thought that springs up in any brain, which can never be communicated to others, even if one were to write volumes about it and were explaining one's idea for thirty-five years; there's something left which cannot be induced to emerge from your brain, and remains with you forever; and with it you will die, without communicating to anyone perhaps the most important of your ideas.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot

    Peter Pomerantsev: The Man Who Used Nazi Propaganda to Help the Allies Win, Sefton Delmer - WakeIndra

    time.com The Man Who Used Nazi Propaganda to Help the Allies Win

    The strange tale of a fake Nazi radio station that helped win the war. And what it can teach us about disinformation today.

    The Man Who Used Nazi Propaganda to Help the Allies Win

    Article published recently: March 18, 2024

    "This intricate psychological game was the invention of Sefton Delmer, a largely forgotten genius of propaganda. As Director of Special Operations at the British Political Warfare Executive, he ran dozens of such covert stations across occupied Europe in many languages, working with a troupe of artists, academics, spies, soldiers, psychiatrists, and forgers. Refugees from Berlin’s cabaret scene acted and wrote the scripts of radio shows. Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, enabled Delmer. Many of Delmer’s most important collaborators were Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany pretending to be Nazis in order to subvert Nazi propaganda from inside, dressing up as their own torturers in order to take revenge. Delmer’s experiences has much to teach us—good and ill—about how to win information wars today. But to appreciate how he came up with a form of propaganda that involved both broadcaster and audience playing such a curious masquerade, we need to understand his past, and what it tells us about propaganda in the first place."

    "But you better remember when it all comes back" 🎵 𝄞 🎸 𝄫 🎷🎶 🎻
  • 'Church of the Immaculate Conception' also known as Adam and Eve's is a Roman Catholic church run by the Franciscans and it is located on Merchants Quay, Dublin.

     

    Opening sentence of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake:
    'riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodious vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.”

     

    "You Lucky One" song lyrics:

    You've been off the grid; cutting your teeth
    Supposedly composing your masterpiece
    If you give good copy then I'll cut you some slack
    But you better remember when it all comes back
    And you're lying on the corner of Merchant's Quay
    Telling the world how it's meant to be
    Well I'll pick you up and I'll take you on
    I promise you, you lucky one
    
    

     

    These lyrics also seem relevant of metaphors of Wake:

    Take me back to the start, before the lot
    Were you always aware of the gift you've got?
    Were you wandering lost outside of the norm?
    Am I getting the gist? Am I getting warm?
