If you think that vaccines are safe and effective, you might be a corporate shill.

If you think GMOs are safe, you might be a corporate shill.

If you cant produce a lick of truth to support your opinions, you might be able to spot corporate shills, too.

At this point I do not know that it matters , people probably just take the money and do little work as is typical with FBI pd informants .....

It at least proves that the firm mentioned in the ad existed, and got paid for "public relations" by politicians...

I think the existence of paid trolls on the internet is a given, and I doubt the principles in the above firm would have abandoned the field willingly. Probably morphed, imho

Work Environment

Information Warfare Officers serve in challenging roles of increasing scope and responsibility both afloat and ashore. This often includes an initial assignment serving at one of the National Security Agency Cryptologic Centers and typically involves rotations between sea, shore and educational tours. Settings could also include service aboard ships, submarines and aircraft, in support of Naval Special Warfare, anywhere from the National Security Agency to the Pentagon.

Qualifications

A four-year degree is required to work as an Information Warfare Officer. Candidates seeking an Officer position in this community must have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution in a technical field, preferably in areas of study related to math, computer science and engineering.

All candidates must also be U.S. citizens willing to serve worldwide and eligible for a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) security clearance.

After the Navy

The specialized training and expertise you gain as an Information Warfare Officer, coupled with your security clearance, may prepare you for a wide range of job opportunities available within the U.S. Intelligence Community, including future employment with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or National Security Agency (NSA).

Other career opportunities in the civilian sector include work as Computer and Information Systems Managers, Computer Systems Analysts, Database Administrators, Management Analysts, and Network and Computer Systems Administrators.
 
I think the Daily Paul is being targeted. The posting quality is far different than it was when we were being effective in primaries in 2012. It feels like there are a lot of shills targeting it. One of the most effective websites that aggressively attacks shills is /pol/ on 4chan. I would go there a year back and many they were on top of these tactics. The place is full of b.s. now, but I learned how to spot these tactics from their postings and rantings.

What a ludicrous allegation.

You know that paid shills are not present on the Ron Paul Forums. You have either forgotten, or you are lying. Please reconsider your opinion.

The use of cognitive distortions to cause distrust is the tactic of cognitive infiltration. This is not an accusation.

Understand that media for at least 40 years through; sitcoms, dramas, soap operas, game shows etc., has been using semiotics to reinforce the misconception that cognitive distortions can be used for functional communication useful for critical thinking. Not so.

The list of cognitive distortions used by cognitive therapists can be used by a covert group pretending to agree on information that is false, or irrelevant. Doing so either misleads, or distracts and the distortions implemented can badly impair viewers from detecting, cogniting the true situation.

All the infiltration of government has to do is to prevent sincere Americans from engaging information useful in stopping the agenda of the infiltration. Anything will do. However, stuff that appears to have relevance works better. Here is the list of cognitive distortions.

COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS

1. All or nothing thinking: Things are placed in black or white categories. If things are less than perfect self is viewed as failure.
2. Over generalization: Single event is viewed as continuous failure.
3. Mental filter: Details in life (positive or negative) are amplified in importance while opposite is rejected.
4. Minimizing: Perceiving one or opposite experiences (positive or negative) as absolute and maintaining singularity of belief to one or the other.
5. Mind reading: One absolutely concludes that others are reacting positively or negatively without investigating reality.
6. Fortune Telling: Based on previous 5 distortions, anticipation of negative or positive outcome of situations is established
7. Catastrophizing: Exaggerated importance of self's failures and others successes.
8. Emotional reasoning: One feels as though emotional state IS reality of situation.
9. "Should" statements: Self imposed rules about behavior creating guilt at self inability to adhere and anger at others in their inability to conform to self's rules.
10. Labeling: Instead of understanding errors over generalization is applied.
11. Personalization: Thinking that the actions or statements of others are a reaction to you.
12. Entitlement: Believing that you deserve things you have not earned.

Your post has quite a few.

Great [minimizing], now everyone[all or nothing thinking] on these forums will be paranoid [minimizing] and accusing [emotional reasoning] anyone [all or nothing thinking, generalizing] who disagrees on this or that of being a paid shill.

If cognitive infiltration has been successful, people can be very mislead and develop then spread misinformation which impairs defense of the constitution. A group which has passed a logical test, doing something an infiltrator would never do, such as answering, understanding and accepting A) from this post, is an American that can be trusted. Those that will not cannot be trusted. Here is an example from here. We need to form a group that tests such users.

In fact, online activism is not going to amount to sh*t if we do not develop and utilize effective method to detect and block cognitive infiltration. The method linked there, also has a link to another forum which has other links to a forum where the method is demonstrated.
