We talked about abortion, homosexuality, whatever, okay?

So long as they can fragment the society, so long as they create a tension within the society, all this is possible to do.

So we've seen various things coming up that have divided us deeply, and these people know how to manipulate that.

So while I'm concerned about penetrating our secrets, well, that's a game that has gone on ever since the Greeks.

That game is played, and all sides are playing it, OK?

That's not it.

Are we using technology to do that?

Well, I will assume that on each side, there are sufficient technologists to be able to engage in this combat.

Where it really becomes very dangerous, as we can see within the social extension of the United States today, are the divisions that are built.

Many of these we would not have seen 10 years ago.

It is not that they created these tensions.

They exacerbated them, utilized having found an issue that divides Americans in building structures.

It may be AI run, but it's very sophisticated in coming in and they stage arguments with each other.

Many times on the internet, I've seen arguments that have to be staged because nobody else was talking about it and it evolves.

And the fundamental problem is the degree to which people at this point use the internet as the primary source of information.

So from the standpoint of information warfare, propaganda, whatever you want to call it, okay, this is a tremendous vulnerability to all countries.

And it's not only state actors that are engaged in this.

I see many indications of corporate involvement in various dimensions, okay?

Discrediting others, not only outside of the United States, but within the United States.

But on the other hand, we don't know who is speaking.
