Something I've been thinking about while trying to get my head around all the crazy in Ukraine.

I started reading up on Soviet era Active Measures(alive and well and combined with new Russian UW doctrine) and came across the Reagan era Active Measures Working Group:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activ..._Working_Group

Then this article:

http://www.westminster-institute.org...working-group/

Maybe recreate the AMWG, and add an all source active measures collection and analysis unit with a significant social media component.

But I would think the counter message response time might have to improve to Internet warp speed.

Reading the lessons learned it seems like the most powerful is "counter propaganda with the truth" combined with credibility(my add).

I see these remarks as a good counter to all those recent "ISIL public service messages" for people to think about out there.

What may be of interest in the origin of those remarks. There is an interesting correlation between the Policy Brief & the Substance Matter of the Presidents Speech. Read in sequence, the comparison, imvho it difficult to miss.

Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University. The meetings are private, off the record, and by invitation only.
Policy Brief 3/2014
