Stimulus Jobs To Be Available For
Basement-Dwelling Trolls

Via DOC40, whose short take on it doesn't note that we are doubtless all under surveillance already, & some of us would be in big trouble if there were enough people to read the Internet for the Feds (Or Lizards/Bilderberger/Illuminati/ZOG.)
[S]uggesting that it would be a good idea to deploy federal agents to "cognitively infiltrate" political groups that believe in conspiracy theories. "Cognitive infiltration" may just be a fancy way to describe what chat room trolls do every day, but it's downright Orwellian in its implications, summoning visions of disinformation campaigns, agents provocateurs, and J. Edgar Hoover's COINTELPRO. The official [suggesting] is Cass Sunstein, the long-time University of Chicago law professor (he has since moved on to Harvard), who is currently serving as director of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
