The most interesting part was when he shows The Atlantic Council is pushing the idea (at about 15:30)of disabling commentary sections. That is, changing websites, like Reddit so they don't allow comments, don't allow people to discuss different views. Ever notice how it's so much harder to comment after the Reddit redesign while it was easy and encouraged in legacy Reddit. Digg, after the buyout, eliminated, not just comments, but voting.

So they want us to buy their products, to read their lies but not to be allowed to comment on them.

In February 2009, James L. Jones, then-chairman of the Atlantic Council, stepped down in order to serve as President Obama's new National Security Advisor and was succeeded by Senator Chuck Hagel. In addition, other Council members also left to serve the administration: Susan Rice as ambassador to the UN, Richard Holbrooke as the Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan, General Eric K. Shinseki as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and Anne-Marie Slaughter as Director of Policy Planning at the State Department. Four years later, Hagel stepped down to serve as US Secretary of Defense. Gen. Brent Scowcroft served as interim chairman of the organization's Board of Directors until January 2014, when former ambassador to China and governor of Utah Jon Huntsman, Jr. was appointed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Council

Look at the new Director of Policy for Reddit, Jessica Ashooh. She comes directly from the Atlantic Council to Reddit.

CONSIDERING, the alt-media and alt-right are almost always controlled oppositions, I'd say it is by design.
