Report on the Censorship-Industrial Complex: The Top 50 Organizations to Know

Around that same time, i.e. shortly after the election of Donald Trump, it was becoming gospel among the future leaders of the Censorship-Industrial Complex that interference by malign foreign threat actors and the vicissitudes of Western domestic politics must be linked. Everything, from John Podesta s emails to Trump s Rust Belt primary victories to Brexit, were to be understood first and foremost as hybrid war events.

This is why the Trump-Russia scandal in the United States will likely be remembered as a crucial moment in 21st-century history, even though the investigation superficially ended a non-story, fake news in itself. What the Mueller investigation didn t accomplish in ousting Trump from office, it did accomplish in birthing a vast new public-private bureaucracy devoted to stopping mis-, dis-, and malinformation, while smoothing public acquiescence to the emergence of a spate of new government agencies with information warfare missions. 

The Censorship-Industrial Complex is just the Military-Industrial Complex reborn for the hybrid warfare age.

Oh no. Oh dear. I had not connected these dots. But it makes perfect sense.
