Counter Vlad Surkov techniques and methods

Introduction to the Kremlin media techniques of year 2014

Peter Pomerantsev September 9, 2014: Russia and the Menace of Unreality. How Vladimir Putin is revolutionizing information warfare
Adam Curtis, BBC, December 31, 2014: On The "Contradictory Vaudeville" Of Post-Modern Politics - "What this film is going to suggest is that that defeatist response has become a central part of a new system of political control. And to understand how this is happening, you have to look to Russia, to a man called Vladislav Surkov, who is a hero of our time. Surkov is one of President Putin's advisers, and has helped him maintain his power for 15 years, but he has done it in a very new way."

Vlad Surkov simulacra defeats NATO

Every day since March 2013 deployment of the 5,000 simulacra patterns by Russia against the World Wide Web, NATO can only LOL and LOL at every move Russia and USA makes in self-destruction of the Earth.

It's compulsive. People are entirely unable to resist LOL at Donald Trump. He is the most powerful human to ever walk the Earth, able to command people at any moment to flock to media systems and LOL away. NATO never stood a chance, since March 2013, the samizdat is irresistible to any audience via any venue, live or recorded, the compulsive behavior works every time and grows in popularity with no bound

"NATO chief seen laughing as Trump floats Canada and Greenland takeovers"

Everything is 4chan, everything is Twitter LOL. NATO never saw it coming.

“That unique Moscow mix of tackiness and menace. One time I see a poster advertising a new property development that captures the tone nicely. Got up in the style of Nazi propaganda, it shows two Germanic-looking youths against a glorious alpine mountain over the slogan "Life is Getting Better". It would be wrong to say the ad is humorous, but it's not quite serious either. It's sort of both. It's saying this is the society we live in (a dictatorship), but we're just playing at it (we can make jokes about it), but playing in a serious way (we're making money playing it and won't let anyone subvert its rules).” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, year 2014

“Everything in our background has prepared us to know and resist a prison when the gates begin to close around us . . . But what if there are no cries of anguish to be heard? Who is prepared to take arms against a sea of amusements? To whom do we complain, and when, and in what tone of voice, when serious discourse dissolves into giggles? What is the antidote to a culture's being drained by laughter?” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985
