Sophisticated sock puppetry: US Centcom

That is right, the operation, led by United States Central Command (Centcom), which oversees US armed operations in the Middle East and Central Asia, would: "allow a US military officer to control up to ten separate, realistic personas 'based' anywhere in the world. In a piece by the Guardian, Centcom spokesman Commander Bill Speaks stated that the operation would not target sites in English--rather, the target languages will be Arabic, Urdu, and Persian--nor sites hosted in the United States."

So finally the US is gearing up for their massive psy-ops program just like the Chinese did earlier with the "50 Cent Party", a cabal of internet commentators hired by the country to leave pro-government comments on blogs and forums.

Since this is mainly an english speaking site, and our own country, this proves to me without a doubt shills have been here for a very, very long time.

"Not only does the department of state employ paid commenters, but a new $2.75 million initiative led by US Central Command would allow for the creation of sock puppets in order to combat online extremism."
