Disinformation

Disinformation entered om a search engine like ixquick will yield at least 10,499,009 matching results! Wikipedia says it is "black propaganda" and false or inaccurate information spread deliberately (to misinform). It differs from misinformation in that it is written deliberately to deceive. It appears to be a universal human quality utilized in or by inhabitants of any and all of over 200 countries on Earth. Certain groups appear to be more than willing to fool others.

"The communists must be prepared to make every sacrifice and, if necessary, even resort to all sorts of cunning schemes and stratagems, to employ illegal methods, to evade and conceal the truth.



.... The practical part of communist policy is to incite one [enemy] against another.



.... We communists must use one country against another.



My words were calculated to evoke hatred, aversion, and contempt.....not to convince but to break up the ranks of the opponent, not to correct an opponent's mistake but to destroy him, to wipe his organization off the face of the earth.



This formulation is indeed of such a nature as to evoke the worst thoughts, the worst suspicions about the opponent."---V. Lenin



According to:
http://cicentre.com/disinformation.htm

The "contemporary Soviet concept of Dezinformatsiya, or disinformation, has evolved. The Russians define disinformation as 'the dissemination of false and provocative information.' As practiced by the KGB, disinformation is far more complex than the definition implies. It entails:

* the distribution of forged or fabricated documents, letters, manuscripts, and photographs;
* the propagation of misleading or malicious rumors and erroneous intelligence by agents;
* the duping of visitors to the Soviet Union; and
* physical acts committed for psychological effect"

Another authority was retired KGB Major General Oleg Kalugin on disinformation

.....The KGB also attacked the U.S. with disinformation that was calculated to damage the reputation of the country, important public officials and the American people. One of the charges they spread was that the U.S. military had created the AIDS virus and introduced it into Africa, where it was wreaking havoc. Christopher Maurice Andrew, PhD ,a historian at the University of Cambridge, said that in the first six months of 1987, this (bogus) story was reported on the front pages of newspapers in over 40 third-world countries.........on March 30, 1987, Dan Rather (later discredited for a phony documant on George W. Bush) put the story on the CBS Evening News. Rather named as his source a Soviet military publication that attributed the story to "unnamed scientists in the United States, Britain and East Germany." Rather left the story hanging in that he did not report any U.S. reaction to this (contemptable) charge nor did he mention that five months earlier reporters at the U.S. State Department had been told all about this Soviet disinformation campaign.

This same lie worked itself into "black liberation theology" so that Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright,Jr. stated it in at least one of his firey preaching sessions recorded for sale at his church.
