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.
下一次当你见到为了捍卫政府或是刻意将本周新闻中政府出现的黑暗和滥用职权轻描淡写，你努力尝试理解怎么会有人会花时间引导网络言论，考虑下这样一个事实：他们可能是被政府雇佣的。

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.

加政府被曝光雇佣一家新闻媒体在网上监视政治性言论的讨论并且回应这是“错误信息”。换句话说，根据最新攻击哈伯政府的丑闻，是为了传播各州认可的宣传。

“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.

据News1130网站报道，在试点计划下加哈伯政府支付给该媒体75000美元来对网上所出现的关于东海岸捕杀海豹言论进行监控和回应。

      “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.

“政府有很大的势力，它觉得有必要对公告栏和人们表达观点和进行回应的地方进行监督，可政府的所作所为对于我来说似乎已经超出了合理行动。”英属哥伦比亚大学计算机科学教授，英属哥伦比亚信息自由与隐私协会主席理查德•罗森伯格表示道。

        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网站发起的投票表示，大部分的（77%）调查对象并不会因为政府监控网络言论而感到害怕，并且不会克制自己在网络上的发言。

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，战争和丑闻的余波中，有人辩护那些看起来站不住脚跟的指控，受雇于无耻的当局，且如此经常循环。事实上许多政府和跨国公司已经习惯雇佣个别人在网络上发表中立观点来进行宣传。

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.
  进行“黑色宣传”技巧的改进者毫无疑问得归孟山都公司（美国一著名农业生化公司），可追溯到上世纪90年代末通过他们未曾创立的幌子公司Bivings在网络公示牌上赞美转基因食物的优点，并嘲笑那些说明它危险的观点。

在21世纪，各国政府试图驾驭制造假共识的能力，以达到支配现实和为自己行为辩解的目的。

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，以色列政府宣布将会建立一个网络博客组织用来反对被犹太主义复国者认为“有疑问的”网站，这些网站有大量反对以色列对加沙的野蛮轰炸的内容。

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.

以色列的目标是用英语、法语、西语和德语在网络上大量发布他们自己公关代理的观点，即试图制造一个人为的共识：以色列国防军的行动是正当的。

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.

像以色列一样，美国军事工业中心雇佣网络军队来宣传以保证反恐战争，下一步便是当轰炸任何一个发展不平衡的第三世界国家的时候寻求网络舆论支持。

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.

美国中央司令部已经有了启动的渗入博客和留言板的计划，以确保人们“有机会阅读到正面的故事”，大概是民主解放后的伊拉克有多么美好以及为反恐而进行的战争是真正地在保护美国人不受基地组织的伤害。

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，据透露，五角大楼正在扩大在网络上进行“信息行动”而特意设立外国新闻网站，目的是看起来像独立媒体的来源，但在现实中经营直接的军事宣传。

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，纽约时报发表了一则如何私下雇用操作工使其出现在美国主要的新闻网络上以提升利润，以及五角大楼的操作，即产生关于所谓的反恐战争有利的新闻报道，与此同时雇佣者将伪装成独立的军事分析家。

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.

这项计划于2006年被正式宣布，五角大楼已成立一个小组，以“更好地促进整个24小时滚动播出的新闻媒体信息，特别是在互联网上”。同样，五角大楼表示，此举将提升其能力以对付“不准确的”新闻故事以及开发新的媒体。
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，美国空军宣布一份“反博客”计划，旨在对那些对美国政府和空军有负面意见的博客作者的材料进行防卫和反应。

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.

该计划由空军公共事务部队提出，包括一份详细的12点“反对博客”流程图，用来指示人员怎样来处理网络上所谓的“纯粹找茬”“疯言疯语”和“被误导的”网络作家。
