Democracy comes at a cost, and this is exactly the cost one has to pay for. I am not surprised by the attempts of Russia, because I am sure that they are involved at many level besides social media. I know the case of Former KGB Agent Yuri Bezmenov, who went on the mission to take control of the government of India. At that time their was no internet or even television set at every home, Indians depended on Newspaper or Radio to get the latest news. KGB had implanted more than thousand news during 1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Bezmenov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Bezmenov Yuri Bezmenov, who later become a mole, talks about his mission and how he brainwashes the whole nation by controlling the academia and media. https://www.pgurus.com/cia-says-soviets-planted-fake-reports-in-times-of-india-hindustan-times-the-hindu-pti-etc/ https://www.pgurus.com/cia-says-soviets-planted-fake-reports... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5It1zarINv0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5It1zarINv0 CIA has also been equally involved in manipulating the stories to get the desired result. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/jul/28/india.randeepramesh https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/jul/28/india.randeepr... http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/pranab-mukherjee-says-top-indian-journalists-on-payroll-of-cia-causes-a-furore/1/434767.html http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/pranab-mukherjee-says-top... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_India https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_India http://www.thehindu.com/2005/09/18/stories/2005091803540900.htm http://www.thehindu.com/2005/09/18/stories/2005091803540900.... http://www.businesstoday.in/technology/wikileaks-suggests-cia-may-have-access-to-indias-aadhaar-data/story/259089.html http://www.businesstoday.in/technology/wikileaks-suggests-ci... ---- At this stage, I have learned that no one is your friend or your enemy. It is all business to get ahead in the competitive world. CIA is no saint, author sounds concerned because he thinks he is on losing side. But anyway, this is a battle of newer generation which can be slow but is equally damaging like a direct war.
