According to Solicitation Number: RTB220610 , the armed services division sought a software program that could manage 10 personas per user, including background; history; supporting details, and cyber presences that are " technically, culturally and geographacilly [sic] consistent. Individual applications will enable an operator to exercise a number of different online persons from the same workstation and without fear of being discovered by sophisticated adversaries. Personas must be able to appear to originate in nearly any part of the world and can interact through conventional online services and social media platforms. The service includes a user friendly application environment to maximize the user's situational awareness by displaying real-time local information."

What? Military using "strategic disinformation"?

Well, of course they do, but shit guys, you're not supposed to say it out loud!!!!

America is the only country I know of except maybe Britain, that tell you it lie to you and spy on you.

This amazes me.

Only person I see spying on them is Juliane Assange, and everyone thinks he is a monster.

That's a pretty daunting job. Their vague "significant adversaries" outnumber them by several orders of magnitude and are above any Government/Military pay grade or just curious/anarchistic.

I'll giggle if they use something like Tor. (It's cool and all, but I have issues with some of its claimed features.)

You can never have enough sockpuppets. Never.

Incidentally, it is highly amusing to watch SecState Clinton lecture other nations on internet freedom while Congress seeks to expand wiretap capabilities and Customs are now seizing internet domains without warning. It's almost like "do as we say, not as we do".
