251 Astroturfing, False Flag, etc.

Today I heard the term 'Astro-turfing' for the first time.


In short : a grass-roots action ( a peoples protest) that is paid for and organised by governments or companies. 


The definition is: Astroturfing refers to political, advertising or public relations campaigns that are designed to mask the sponsors of the message to give the appearance of coming from a disinterested, grassroots participant. 

Read: Wikipedia. 

Other ways of deception of the public:

False Flag operations: Wikipedia.


A Front organisation : Wikipedia.


Creating a Media hype: Agenda-setting-Theory.


Using a pseudonym to support oneself: Sock-puppeteering.


To practice talkback disguised as a member of the public: Talkback.
