Secant Publishing Dragged into the Light
Book SynopsisOhio housewife Sherry Shriner grew to prominence as a social media cult leader, flourishing in the era of conspiracy theories and the 9/11 Truther movement. She preached the virtues of mysterious orgone energy and Christian prayer as defensive shields against the forces of darkness, including: Lucifer and his demons; reptilian shapeshifters masquerading as human elites; the New World Order; cell phone towers; even hostile UFOs that flamed out over her home, visible only as shooting stars. Amazingly, she built a coterie of passionate devotees. The more outrageous the lie, the more fervent their belief. In 2017, she told follower Steven Mineo that his girlfriend, Barbara Rogers, was a witch who would kill him. A month later, Steven was dead, and Barbara was in jail charged with his murder. Steven's death proved Sherry's divinity to her followers, but in reality, he was just the latest casualty in a string of online trolling attacks that had left an earlier believer dead of suicide and still more cast into the outer darkness of cyberspace.

Adventures Unlimited Press Andromeda - the Secret Files: The Flying
Book SynopsisAlong with flying disks, the Germans were making long, cylindrical airships that are commonly called mother ships - large craft that house several smaller disk craft. It was not until 1989 that a German researcher named Ralf Ettl, living in London, received an anonymous packet of photographs and documents concerning the planning and development of at least three types of unusual craft - including the Andromeda. Ettl went on to make several television documentaries based on the material in the packet and released most of the documents and photos to researchers in Austria and other parts of Europe. What the Ralf Ettl document dump shows us is what many have suspected for a long time: that WWII did not end in the manner in which we have been told, and a remnant of the Nazi military - particularly the SS - continued to operate aircraft and submarines around the world in the decades after the end of the war. Much of this activity has been attributed to UFO activity, but Childress lifts the veil shrouding some of these cases and shows that Andromeda and Haunebu craft were involved in many of these incidents over the decades. Join Childress as he shows us the secret files involving the Andromeda, Haunebu, and Vril craft. Chapters include: Gravity''s Rainbow; The Motherships; The MJ-12 Documents and the CIA; The Strange Case of Rheinhold Schmidt; Secret Cities of the Feathered Serpent; The Green Fireballs; Ride in a Saucer Anyone?; The Submarines That Can Fly; The Breakaway Civilization; more. Includes a 16-page color section. Over 120 photographs and diagrams.

Adventures Unlimited Press The Brainphone Prophecy: Stop Corporations and
Book SynopsisDue to a perfect storm among powerful corporations, powerful governments, and futuristic, mesmerizing phone technology, you soon will be asked to have a next generation of smartphone physically inserted in your brain. Many of your friends will say yes, buying into the wonders the device promises. The reality, however, will be much more nightmarish. Don''t want the implant? Too bad - the government will want you to get one. Will controlling entities monitor your thoughts? You bet. Will Artificial Intelligence take over the network? It''s likely. Will the brainphone eventually ruin humankind as we know it? Yes, it will. Does this scenario sound like the End of Days? Maybe - the brainphone is very similar to a device described in The Holy Bible. From humans-and-technology expert Scott Snair, Ph.D., this book makes the compelling argument that you are about to enter a new phase of human existence, as people are merged with a technology that alters them, monitors them, and, in many ways, commands them. Fortunately, there are ways you can resist this fusion, if you choose to push back. THE BRAINPHONE PROPHECY explains how. Chapters include: Why Are You About to Have a Smartphone Inserted in Your Skull?; How Will Your Brainphone Work? How Will Corporations and Governments Monitor Your Thoughts?; How Will the Brainphone Bring Us Down?; How Might the Brainphone Signify the End of Times?; How Might You Revolt Against the Prophecy?; And more.

Springer International Publishing AG Digital Disinformation: Computational Analysis of
Book SynopsisThis book uniquely combines the authors’ personal experiences, deep cultural and professional experience of living and working in Russia and the former USSR, and interest and experience with language and computational analysis, to shed light on a highly contemporary question: what is motivating conflict and unrest in Russia and its surrounding countries? How does Russian government suppression of information manifest in practice today, and how does it fit into the historical cultural pattern for Russia? The authors take a computational look at social and traditional media in the original languages, from Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, and the English-speaking world, to glean insights and separate fact from fiction.This book helps readers interested in Eastern Europe to ‘take the temperature’ of the region today, but it is also of interest to readers in the policy and analysis community, because it offers a template, an analytical ‘how-to’ guide which aims to follow in the footsteps of CIA author Richards Heuer’s ‘Psychology of Intelligence Analysis’, to show how state-of-the-art computational analysis techniques could be applied to similar problems in other topic areas, with the human analyst and computational techniques each working together to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts.Table of ContentsInformation Maneuvers in and around Ukraine: What is Really Driving Conflict with Russia? 1 Background 1.1 A widespread Russian view of Ukraine: rooted in language, culture, and religion 2 Issues surrounding Ukraine 2.1 Russian troop buildup on the border 2.2 Russian hydrocarbons and their place in Europe 2.2.1 A cultural specific of the Russian hydrocarbon landscape 2.2.2 Russian dependence on hydrocarbons, and its pipelines and infrastructure 2.2.3 The Russia-EU co-dependency 2.2.4 Summary 2.3 NATO enlargement 3 What does social media say about the issues? 3.1 Discussion of ‘Ukraine’ in Russian-speaking Twitter 3.2 Discussion of ‘Ukraine’ in Ukrainian-speaking Twitter 3.3 Discussion of ‘NATO’ in both Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking Twitter 4 Conclusions and recommendations for strategic communications Information Maneuvers in the Baltic region 1 Contents 2 Background: brief history of the Baltics 3 A distillation of multiple threat assessments and perspectives 3.1 Brief background on threat assessment 3.2 Environmental Threats 3.3 Espionage Threats 3.4 Military Threats 3.5 Cyber Threats 3.6 Destabilizing Threats 3.7 Russian Limitations 4 Analysis of social media landscape 4.1 The ‘BEND’ framework 4.2 Research hypotheses 4.3 Topic selection 4.4 Data retrieval 4.5 Data processing 4.6 Exploration of results 4.7 Discussion 5 Conclusions and recommendations for strategic communications Information Maneuvers in and around Poland: Historical Revisionism and Rule of Law 1 Background 1.1 Language, culture, and religion as predictors of geopolitical fault lines 2 Current issues surrounding Poland 2.1 The EU versus Poland on primacy of law 2.2 Polish nationalism and World War II 2.3 The Polish-Belarus border 2.4 The Suwałki Corridor 2.5 The buildup of Russian forces along Ukraine’s border 3 Analysis of social media landscape in Poland versus East Slavdom 3.1 Interpretation of the maneuvers that have led to the current point 3.2 Twitter data collection and analysis 3.2.1 Data collection 3.2.2 Analytical approach 3.2.3 Results of analysis 4 Conclusions and recommendations for strategic communications 5 References Appendix 1: Polish ‘border’ tweets 49 Appendix 2: Russian ‘border’ tweets 62 Information Maneuvers for Soviet Union 2.0 1 Background 2 Features of everyday Soviet life in the twentieth century 2.1 The ‘information island’ created by the Iron Curtain 2.2 Soviet indoctrination 2.3 Repression 2.4 Soviet life – drab and dilapidated 2.5 The ideology of Soviet life 2.6 The bureaucracy of Soviet life 3 Social media analysis 4 Conclusions and recommendations for strategic communications Finding and Analyzing Information Maneuvers on the Fringe 1 Fringe narratives: an illustrative example involving Russia and its Eurasian ambitions 2 The ‘brotherhood of nations’ – a historical pattern, not an anomaly 3 Eurasian integration: coming in the near future? 4 How can we analyze fringe beliefs? 4.1 Why fringe beliefs matter: did they help end the Cold War? 4.2 The role of language in fringe beliefs 4.3 Connection to foundational computational linguistics concepts 4.3.1 Word probabilities 4.3.2 ‘Distinctiveness’ in words and combinations of words 4.3.3 From probability to pointwise mutual information 4.4 Problem statements with respect to fringe beliefs 4.4.1 Analytical approach to ‘known unknowns’ 4.4.2 Analytical approach to ‘unknown unknowns’ 4.5 Combining PMI and clustering to find ‘unknown unknowns’ 5 Demonstration and technical implementation 5.1 Dataset 5.2 Technical implementation 5.3 Key ‘waypoints’ in the approach 5.3.1 Pointwise mutual information 5.3.2 Singular value decomposition 5.3.3 Composition of adjacency matrix 5.3.4 Detection of anomalous clusters 6 Conclusions Appendix 1.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Responses to the COVID–19 Pandemic by the Radica
Book SynopsisNumerous political commentators have noted the rise of the radical right worldwide. How has the radical right responded to the COVID-19 pandemic? Has the radical right been legitimized in a world of closed borders and greater securitization? Have radical right regimes in power cracked under the strains of the crisis and thus undermined their own political fortunes? Have radical right-wing responses to COVID-19 been uniform or diversified? These are some of the questions tackled in Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic by the Radical Right. This volume gathers a collection of short pieces, which highlight the multi-faceted ways in which right-wing and radical right-wing political forces have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. It presents research by scholars from all around the world concentrating on the evolution of radical right-wing movements since the COVID-19 crisis began and their influence on mainstream and alternative narratives. The edited volume includes case studies as well as far-reaching reports on the radical rights utilizing of the crisis to re-shape ideas about sovereignty, globalization, democracy, equality, diversity, and political legitimacy. Such studies comprise cases on gender and class, racism, religious hatred, scapegoating, anti-Semitism and Sinophobia, conspiracy theories, and online radicalization, focusing on locations as diverse as the US, Canada, Brazil, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, France, Spain, Ukraine, Latvia, Israel, and India. All such studies are compiled in a total of six chapters and an epilogue, organized thematically and by country.Trade ReviewThis edited volume brings together some of the key writings on the topic, focusing on the relationship between the Coronavirus pandemic and the far right from both sides. Short and accessible, and written by true experts, they go beyond the often ill-informed and sensationalist hot takes in the media and provide clear insights into a broad range of cases across the world. -- Cas Mudde, Professor of International Affairs, University of Georgia

Sternberg Press What We Do Is Secret: Contemporary Art and the
Book SynopsisOn the aesthetic and intellectual affinities between recent art and conspiracy.Written in the wake of the far-right populist turn in Europe, the US, and beyond, What We Do Is Secret addresses aesthetic and intellectual affinities between recent art and conspiracy, proposing a theory of conspiracy that is not primarily concerned with conspiracy theory. This inquiry takes shape across chapters on the politics of post-internet art aesthetics; the sublime and possessive individualism in recent “critical” art; Cady Noland’s security fences, and silkscreens of the Symbionese Liberation Army; and mutuality, secrecy, and improvisation in the work of Ima-Abasi Okon. Larne Abse Gogarty discusses the relationship between culture and contemporary politics, following on from David Lloyd’s proposition that through its compensatory qualities, the aesthetic sphere naturalizes forms of life lived under the rule of property. What kind of art can work against this? Can art exist as a conspiracy capable of corroding that rule?
