Source is this https://africacenter.org/spotlight/mapping-a-surge-of-disinformation-in-africa/
I tried to look it up to see if the U.S. is in the details I didn’t have to look far because the first thing you’ll find searching them up is:
The Africa Center for Strategic Studies (ACSS) is self-described as “a U.S. Department of Defense institution established and funded by Congress for the study of security issues relating to Africa and serving as a forum for bilateral and multilateral research, communication, and exchange of ideas involving military and civilian participants.”
Low how it’s Kremlin and CCP. Not Moscow and Beijing or even Kremlin and Beijing.
Metonymy will continue until dehumanization is achieved
or the Kremlin and the Great Hall of the People
Maybe they should have laws requiring the disclosure of foreign funding in NGOs.
“No, not like that.”
This board game sucks, I’m tired of worker placement
The US better hope China or Russia don’t have the Africa scoring card rn
Africa Centre for Strategic Studies
300 5th Avenue, Building 20, Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, DC
Seems reasonable
Edit: I read slightly further
The Africa Center is an academic institution within the U.S. Department of Defense
It’s literally the most propaganda of propaganda saying Russia and China are doing propaganda
They’ve gotten so lazy lately, all they have to do is call anything they don’t like “Russian/Chinese propaganda” and people fall for it.
Not a single African actually works there
Cool, now point out all the places that have US military bases
‘other foreign actors’
I love how “disinformation” now just means “information I don’t like”
It’s all nonsense so I’m actually surprised that every country doesn’t have at least one dot indicating disinformation actors. The CIA could tweet “The US is militaristic…” from a IP it controls in Cameroon and - there you go - a dot!
the ‘other or undetermined’ actor in algeria is you specifically rania
🫣
Domestic political actors? By definition you could slap this one on every single country on earth
i cant believe these african countries have their own domestic politics, that shouldnt be allowed
Here’s one they listed
The audacity
Even if the content was remotely useful, this is a terrible visualization.
Fascinating how none of these maps ever have the US or literally any european countries on them.
Are we to believe that those states AREN’T engaging in propaganda and psyops campaigns abroad?
The word “disinformation” itself is clearly a shibboleth. Used solely by the nato countries to refer to the propaganda and psyops efforts of their enemies but never to themselves.
This map itself is disinformation.
none of these maps ever have the US or literally any european countries on them.
I think the worst part is Americans and Europeans actually believe their own spy agencies aren’t…well…spying. Every country on the planet has spies. Some of them are more disruptive than others (CIA, MI5/6, and Mossad being prime examples). We spy on other people, they spy on us.
Even in the private sector, companies spy on one another. There’s money to be made and lost. Of course they’re going to run disinformation campaigns about other companies (this is like 99% of advertising). And they have people leaking company secrets a.k.a. insider trading.
But no. It’s totally only the bad countries who spy on other people. We totally don’t have an entire department that’s a monetary black hole doing evil shit.
Nice argument, unfortunately I’ve already drawn you as disinformation in the Chad
please Xi, South Africa yearns for poverty alleviation, high-speed rail and Dongfeng-41 missiles.
Also whatever happened to South Africa “being a puppet state of ISIS, Iran and Hamas”? Did the collapse of the Mossad cell in Johannesburg cause a shortage of diapers to steal from the luggage at the airport? L
My message to the Honorable President Xi and to the russian guy: Let’s get those numbers up!
