Canadian Government Pays Organization To Troll Political Chat Forums

The next time you struggle to comprehend how someone could spend their time trolling the Internet in order to defend and downplay whatever government cover-up or abuse is in the news this week, consider the fact that they may be on a government payroll.
下一次當你見到為了捍衛政府或是刻意將本周新聞中政府出現的黑暗和濫用職權輕描淡寫，你努力嚐試理解怎麽會有人會花時間引導網絡言論，考慮下這樣一個事實：他們可能是被政府雇傭的。

The Canadian government has been caught paying a media group to monitor online political discussion and respond to “misinformation,” in other words to spread state-sanctioned propaganda, in the latest scandal to hit the Harper administration.

加政府被曝光雇傭一家新聞媒體在網上監視政治性言論的討論並且回應這是“錯誤信息”。換句話說，根據最新攻擊哈伯政府的醜聞，是為了傳播各州認可的宣傳。

“Under the pilot program the Harper government paid a media company $75,000 to monitor and respond to online postings about the east coast seal hunt,” reports News1130.

據News1130網站報道，在試點計劃下加哈伯政府支付給該媒體75000美元來對網上所出現的關於東海岸捕殺海豹言論進行監控和回應。

      “The government has a lot of power, that it feels the need to monitor public bulletin boards, or places  where people express views and then to respond to that, seems to me going beyond a reasonable action the government should be taking,” said UBC Computer Science professor and President of the BC Freedom of Information and Privacy Association, Richard Rosenberg.

“政府有很大的勢力，它覺得有必要對公告欄和人們表達觀點和進行回應的地方進行監督，可政府的所作所為對於我來說似乎已經超出了合理行動。”英屬哥倫比亞大學計算機科學教授，英屬哥倫比亞信息自由與隱私協會主席理查德•羅森伯格表示道。

        A poll carried on the News1130 website shows that the majority of respondents, 77 per cent, are not intimidated by the fact that the government is monitoring their online conversations, and would not regulate the information they post on the Internet.

News1130網站發起的投票表示，大部分的（77%）調查對象並不會因為政府監控網絡言論而感到害怕，並且不會克製自己在網絡上的發言。

Accusations that people who defend the seemingly indefensible in the aftermath of government atrocities, wars and scandals are in the pay of unscrupulous authorities, circulate on a regular basis. But the fact is that governments and transnational corporations have made a habit of using the Internet to spread propaganda by using individuals who pose as neutral observers.

在政府暴行，戰爭和醜聞的餘波中，有人辯護那些看起來站不住腳跟的指控，受雇於無恥的當局，且如此經常循環。事實上許多政府和跨國公司已經習慣雇傭個別人在網絡上發表中立觀點來進行宣傳。

The innovator of these “black propaganda” techniques was undoubtedly Monsanto, who as far back the late 90’s were creating “fake citizens” via their PR front company Bivings to post messages on Internet bulletin boards lauding the virtues and scoffing at the dangers of genetically modified food. In the 21st century, governments try to harness the power of manufacturing fake consensus in order to dictate reality and justify their actions.
  進行“黑色宣傳”技巧的改進者毫無疑問得歸孟山都公司（美國一著名農業生化公司），可追溯到上世紀90年代末通過他們未曾創立的幌子公司Bivings在網絡公示牌上讚美轉基因食物的優點，並嘲笑那些說明它危險的觀點。

在21世紀，各國政府試圖駕馭製造假共識的能力，以達到支配現實和為自己行為辯解的目的。

Last year, the Israeli government announced that it would be setting up a network of bloggers to combat websites deemed “problematic” by the Zionist state following a massive online backlash to Israel’s brutal bombing of Gaza.
   去年，以色列政府宣布將會建立一個網絡博客組織用來反對被猶太主義複國者認為“有疑問的”網站，這些網站有大量反對以色列對加沙的野蠻轟炸的內容。

Israel’s goal was to flood Internet message boards in English, French, Spanish and German with their own PR agents who would attempt to manufacture a contrived consensus that the IDF’s actions were justified.

以色列的目標是用英語、法語、西語和德語在網絡上大量發布他們自己公關代理的觀點，即試圖製造一個人為的共識：以色列國防軍的行動是正當的。

Like Israel, the U.S. military industrial complex hires armies of trolls to spew propaganda in defense of the war on terror and in support of bombing whatever broken-backed third world country is being targeted next.

像以色列一樣，美國軍事工業中心雇傭網絡軍隊來宣傳以保證反恐戰爭，下一步便是當轟炸任何一個發展不平衡的第三世界國家的時候尋求網絡輿論支持。

CENTCOM has programs underway to infiltrate blogs and message boards to ensure people, “have the opportunity to read positive stories,”presumably about how Iraq is a wonderful liberated democracy and the war on terror really is about protecting Americans from Al-CIA da.

美國中央司令部已經有了啟動的滲入博客和留言板的計劃，以確保人們“有機會閱讀到正麵的故事”，大概是民主解放後的伊拉克有多麽美好以及為反恐而進行的戰爭是真正地在保護美國人不受基地組織的傷害。

In May 2008, it was revealed that the Pentagon was expanding “Information Operations” on the Internet with purposefully set up foreign news websites, designed to look like independent media sources but in reality carrying direct military propaganda.

2008年5月，據透露，五角大樓正在擴大在網絡上進行“信息行動”而特意設立外國新聞網站，目的是看起來像獨立媒體的來源，但在現實中經營直接的軍事宣傳。

More recently the New York Times published an exposé on how privately hired operatives were appearing on major US news networks promoting the interests and operations of the Pentagon and generating favorable news coverage of the so-called war on terror while posing as independent military analysts.

最近，紐約時報發表了一則如何私下雇用操作工使其出現在美國主要的新聞網絡上以提升利潤，以及五角大樓的操作，即產生關於所謂的反恐戰爭有利的新聞報道，與此同時雇傭者將偽裝成獨立的軍事分析家。

This operation was formally announced In 2006 when the Pentagon set up a unit to “better promote its message across 24-hour rolling news outlets, and particularly on the internet”.
Again, the Pentagon said the move would boost its ability to counter “inaccurate” news stories and exploit new media.

這項計劃於2006年被正式宣布，五角大樓已成立一個小組，以“更好地促進整個24小時滾動播出的新聞媒體信息，特別是在互聯網上”。同樣，五角大樓表示，此舉將提升其能力以對付“不準確的”新聞故事以及開發新的媒體。
Last year, the US Air Force announced a “counter-blog” response plan aimed at fielding and reacting to material from bloggers who have “negative opinions about the US government and the Air Force.”

去年，美國空軍宣布一份“反博客”計劃，旨在對那些對美國政府和空軍有負麵意見的博客作者的材料進行防衛和反應。

The plan, created by the public affairs arm of the Air Force, includes a detailed twelve-point “counter blogging” flow-chart that dictates how officers should tackle what are described as “trolls,” “ragers,” and “misguided” online writers.

該計劃由空軍公共事務部隊提出，包括一份詳細的12點“反對博客”流程圖，用來指示人員怎樣來處理網絡上所謂的“純粹找茬”“瘋言瘋語”和“被誤導的”網絡作家。
