Thank you Paul for this kind mention. At The Athina Press we could not be more proud of these editions of your work. The paperback can be ordered from B and N and launches soon in bookstores across the continent ✨
I am humbly honored that not only have you have so beautifully published my work, but that you are making it possible for universities and national security grad schools to use it as a textbook.
The numbers in that indictment are what get me. $25k/month for anti-American right wing content creators. Those guys make as much in five weeks as I see all year.
I think we are in agreement that foreign meddling in a sovereign nation's politics and elections is a nefarious intrusion into their domestic affairs, whether that be Russian trolls operating out of Saint Parkersburg trying to influence US elections or BHO operating out of the White House trying to influence Israeli elections.
I also think we are in agreement that, based on our shared experiences, vast swathes of the US Intel Community are abjectly clueless when it comes to the nuances of information operations (IO) as well as what can be accomplished by IO for both US foreign policy and national security when it is done right.
My one concern with the recent actions taken by AG Garland in charging Russian operatives with attempting to influence US politics is that it may become far too easy to slander patriotic Americans who legitimately question US governmental policies as being Russian trolls. It is bad enough that we already have the presidential nominee of one major political party talking about the necessity for governmental oversight of social media outlets to monitor content, There is the real and present danger that this could easily become a slippery slope toward negating our First Amendment freedoms all in the name of providing "accurate" information.
