Leaked slide deck from an internal GCHQ presentation prepared by the Joint Threat Intelligence Research Group. The ghouls are learning.

So it looks like a key part of this is the assumption that ideology is superficial like a brand, and that real decision making is based purely on emotional considerations.

I can see this being effective on the right, where ideology is just a patch to wear (often literally), but completely missing the point when ideology is built on scientific examination of material conditions.

This is what they’re teaching their interns?

2005 called, they want their third rate pop-sci marketing presentation back. I laughed hysterically when I saw Maslow’s Heirachy of Needs.

I’m tempted to think this is a hangout it’s so bad.

I like the picture of the tank doing a “solid snake with a cardboard box” maneuver.

Attention -> Perception -> Sensemaking -> Affect Sensemaking, huh? Gonna have to look that one up.

I’ve been going over it trying to infer what I’m assuming is some missing supplemental material but from what I can gather so far it looks like a fairly comprehensive guide to agitprop is buried in here somewhere.

I just skimmed it and I recognize a fair amount of the terms from social engineering stuff I’ve read. A lot of it seems like Meyers-Briggs corporate management mumbo jumbo, but at the same time those models are significantly more accurate in the aggregate. The scam stuff is definitely something that can be applied one-on-one, though

I googled “cyber magician” and all of the top hits are articles about this exact leak. Makes for a good headline, but we see how well it caught on. Also, I resent the fact that they call it magic when it’s more akin to cardistry smdh
