DISCLAIMER: During the show Damon Crowe made allegations which the persons concerned may find defamatory. These allegations should not be construed as reflecting the views of TNRA or its affiliates.
In this week’s show we plunge into murky waters with Damon Crowe, as we look at some fringe conspiracies, analyse breaking news and speculate on the outer limits of deception.
We take a fresh look at the concept of “cognitive infiltration” (http://www.salon.com/2010/01/15/sunstein_2/), a term coined by Obama advisor Cass Sunstein (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1084585), to describe ways in which government might use deceptive techniques to infiltrate and influence anti-government activist groups and conspiracy theorists.
News covered in tonight’s show includes the ongoing extradition saga of Julian Assange and BBC hoax coverage of the Syrian conflict.
