what’s that word….?????
That Rooski word for destroying a country by intentionally creating doubt in the people that there is actually any way whatsoever for them to learn the facts of what is going on.
Also that word for the Useless Tools who create Chaos to amuse themselves…
[aside from well-meaning pinheaded anarchist crank or little emasculated mass of inanity…]
[WaPo] President Trump shared highly classified information with Russian government officials during an Oval Office meeting…
whaaaa???
How would the WaPo know that? They know classified info? They were there?
[National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster] At no time, at no time, were intelligence sources or methods discussed and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known,” McMaster said in a press conference Monday evening.
“The record should outweigh the anonymous sources. I was in the room. It didn’t happen,”
huh?
[Secretary of State Rex Tillerson] “During that exchange the nature of specific threats were discussed, but they did not discuss sources, methods or military operations,”
erm…
Specifically, [Trump] is said to have described the details of an Islamic State threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft. The information itself was reportedly provided by a close Middle Eastern ally.
wait…. I heard about that on the nooz…
*I* heard about that on the nooz…
Intelligence officials are usually very careful not to reveal “sources and methods” — the sources of information, and the methods used to collect it. This is for obvious reasons. If the identity of a person who was the source of clandestine information is revealed, then that person’s life could be put at risk. Similarly, if the methods used to gather information secretly are revealed, then adversaries may be able to protect against them in the future. This is why people have been asking whether the president compromised the sources and methods used to collect the intelligence he shared.
“asking” …
BTNIN
So now no one — No. One. — knows who, what or how to believe…
The word is Kompromat

SoS Clinton leaked classified information everywhere. Press: Yawn.
And we’re supposed to believe the Media, who loathes President Trump, when they claim the President gave out classified material to Russia.
The same media who keeps flogging the “Russians stole the election” lie.
Claire,
I think the word you’re looking for is disinformation (dezinformatsiya дезинформация).
Used to be that the commie-lovin’ press avoided mentioning its existence as a Soviet strategy against the West.
Now, it’s all dezinformatsiya-this and dezinformatsiya-that with the Russians and Trump.
Somewhere in the White House wood pile there resides a……Oh never mind.
” disinformation (dezinformatsiya дезинформация).” MSM has adopted it as their own.
MSM has always admired Communism so I guess it stands to reason they would become Pravda West.
I’m not sure of the noun, but the verb for doing it is “Abu Ghraibing“.
The NY Times perfected the method publishing a front-page, above the fold story every day for more than a month about Abu Ghraib.
None of the stories gave you any new information, or even any information, all they did was talk about how the World Was Weeping Over Bush’ Illegal War For Oil!!!!!!!!!!!
DM. I thot there was a really specific word for the campaign to undermine credibility in media and .gov…?
yanno, If I had a memory, I could be quite interesting…
*shuffles off kicking dust*
I found it ironic (the MSM and their moron followers don’t do irony) that the WAPo had the gall to ask for a transcript of the meeting where, according to them, highly classified information was discussed.
How and when did they get their Top Secret (Yankee White) clearances?
Buraq….Oh.
According to Drudge, the wapo “staff” or traitorous vermin (whichever you prefer) cheered with this latest hit on the President. And they wonder why the American People absolutely despise them and wish ill will upon them – for real.

Y’mean “active measures,” the Soviet political warfare doctrine?
It included all subversive political activities: disinformation, propaganda, counterfeiting official documents, assassinations, political repression, the establishment and support of international front organizations, foreign communist, socialist and opposition parties, wars of national liberation, and underground, revolutionary, insurgency, criminal, and terrorist groups.
Also loosely associated is maskirovka, military deception.
maskirovka, yes, that was the term. I think I learned it from reading Tom Clancy novels many years ago. I was thinking “peristroika”, but knew that wasn’t it.
How times change! Used to know a fair number of words in Russian. Forgotten most. Now I now several dozen Arabic ones. Know your enemy, I guess.
Found it! I was looking for Kompromat
…as discussed here
Also here [NYT]:
And what do people do?

Teh Iron is Strong in this one….
^ Ahhhh, thanks for that.
