Lately everyone is noticing the proliferation of fake “people”, aided by AI. Fake people started considerably before AI. Wikileaks noticed it in 2016 and I wrote about it, then forgot about it. (Writing leads to forgetting, which can be useful if you’re trying to get rid of bad thoughts.)
I was idly wondering … All American jobs are being replaced by robots. Why not replace criminals by robots? Then the answer came. Not all criminals, but terrorists HAVE BEEN replaced by robots. That’s the whole point of CIA/NSA cybercrime with fake identities, as revealed by Wikileaks. In the old days CIA had to blackmail and pay and honeytrap real live Americans into being “lone wolf terrorists” serving “Islam” or “Russia”. Now they’ve robotized “terrorism”. Much cheaper and more efficient to “invade” and “hack” via computer. Grab the money and information, leave “Russian” or “Arab” fingerprints all over the cyberscene.

Considering Deepstate as a dynastic family, like the Windsors or Bourbons, clarifies things. Both Bushes are birthright Deepstate. Prescott was a banker and served in Army Intel in WW1, so his sons and grandsons were birthright. George Senior was head of CIA. Can’t get deeper than that. George Junior displayed no particular talent, but genes are thicker than alcohol, and he served the family beautifully. The Clintons weren’t ethnically Deepstate (though Hillary was a distant cousin) but were adopted when young and brought up as Deepstate. Obama was thoroughbred Deepstate. Grandma was an investment banker, Grandpa was a leftist, Mom worked for CIA foundations overseas. All three legs of the tripod. Trump posed a giant problem because he was neither born royal nor adopted by royalty. He had to be GMO’d before he was allowed to get into politics. Trump was Roy Cohn’s last protege, which connects him firmly and dynastically to the NASTIEST end of Deepstate, the drug gangs and sex traffickers and blackmailers.

A deeper look from April 2017:
Looking closely at the latest Wikileaks load of CIA evil. This ‘Grasshopper’ thing is ELEGANT software applied to a purpose that doesn’t need elegance.
The underlying system is just a persistent installer for malware, not the malware itself. Sort of like a semi-automatic language pistol. Such a system doesn’t need a full-fledged control language because there aren’t all that many options. Check the time; if it’s time to reload, pick up the malware from the magazine, check the ambient conditions, defeat the AV system, defeat the access protections in Windows, and shoot appropriate files into the target. Those choices could have been placed in the gun by simple command-line arguments at startup.
Instead, somebody wrote a full-featured language-processing language that is designed like a human language. Seems to have evolved from the ancient Snobol line. It has nouns and verbs and adjectives, and it INTRINSICALLY uses three logic states, True, False, Invalid. None of the common computer languages handle those three states ‘evenly’. You have to examine results for errors first, and then deal with True vs False. (Though it’s not clear from the material at WL, I suspect this language has a broader set of purposes. Its use with the simple malware-shooter may be the least of its powers.)
I had been wondering what happened to Snobol. Now I know.
Back in the ’80s when I was working on speech processing software, I noticed that NSA was always ahead of our academic work; they were monitoring academia so they could steal useful ideas for their nefarious purposes. (That’s why they made the web.) This development shows that the best research work in language is still up there in Spookland.
This also fits into the pattern I was vaguely pondering yesterday. Cyberwar paralleling language-war.
Mostly, it fits the oldest rule of innovation. Fire control has always been the MAIN driving force of technology. Calculating the range, aim, shell weight and powder load for cannons helped to develop chemistry, meteorology, physics, calculus, analog computers, and digital computers.
Now that we’re making unprovoked aggressive war in language along with the traditional unprovoked ground and sea and air aggressions, a fire control system for a language gun is a prime developing force for language-processing software.

And what is the specific purpose of this language gun? As shown by the previous Wikileaks dump, it’s designed to shoot viruses with false linguistic attribution.
