In the UK, as well as in US, CHAOS Rules ‽ . *

Of course I speak hypothetically here, and certainly do not suggest that this has already happened. …. tekHedd

I would certainly suggest such has been happening since as long as anyone can remember, tekHedd, and bumbling governments are well aware of it too and would even try to make full use of it to realise their own politically inept ends. Controlling it though is not within their ken or reach, nor are they able to command it to lead an ignorant undereducated electorate en masse in any particular favourite direction, although they sure do try. Nowadays though, all former bets are off, null and void, for the internet has opened up a massive number of cans of worms and Remote Access Trojans and bugs and daemons for human consumption and perception management which are a whole new world of pain and phenomenal gain to do battle with.

Here is decade old UK government read on such a matter …..MINDSPACE Influencing behaviour through public policy …… a Cabinet Office/Institute for Government publication/discussion document ….. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/files/publications/MINDSPACE.pdf

And it is the gift which just keeps on forever giving to those ACTively Engaged and Sublimely Enabled with NEUKlearer Forces and Sources Simply Exercising HyperRadioProACtive IT Connectivity with/for Quantum Communication Control Systems ?

It certainly appreciates the radio silence assisting its stealthy deployments and surreal employments.

I Kid U Not ….. however, rather bizarrely, the fact that one might think and conclude “You are kidding me” is an absolute stealth freely delivered with no equal which money alone cannot buy should such ever be a commodity for sale/export/import/lend-lease.
