Assange on how to defeat an organization
It's a good and quick read: http://cryptome.org/0002=ja-conspiracies.pdf
I think all of you will li=e it. Notably:
thinking about power cliqu=s as a graph problem. Where to disrupt a power group you treat the problem a= "how can I either isolate, split, slow down or fabricate information flowi=g both from the outside graph to the subgraph and in between nodes in the s=bgraph"
Weirdly prescient practical example in t=e paper:
"for example, let us consider two c=osely balanced and broadly conspiratorial power groupings, the US democrati= and republican parties.
Consider what would happen if one o= these parties gave up their [communication devices].
They would immediately fall into an organizational stupor and lose=to the other"
Ps: on (2), one of the rumors a=out why the coup failed in Turkey is that the military groups that were sup=osed to assassinate Erdogan had gone dark to avoid detection but as a resul= had a 30min delay on the attack which allowed Erdogan to escape.
