Karen Kwiatkowski: The Corrupt Political Influence on Military Intelligence

Mises Media...

Summary

The corrupt political influence on military intelligence prioritizes serving the ruling state, manipulates information, and undermines truth and accountability.

Political Influence on Military Intelligence

  • The prevalence of misinformation on platforms like Twitter has led many people to view most content as propaganda, highlighting the need for critical thinking and skepticism in consuming information.
