Joel Harding

Why Joel Harding? I first came across his IO operation in Ukraine at its official rollout in February 2015 when Joel Harding wrote Ukraine’s Information Policy and set up Ukraine’s Ministry of Information. He was hired to develop Ukrainian IO groups like Stopfake, InformNapalm, and their subgroups which include the DNC hackers. ... In reality, working with Obama administration contractors, the IO methods and tools used in the US were being developed for implementation for a whole nation beginning in 2011 at the latest. This timeline shows that progression. The Terrorists Among US — The Coup Against the Presidency. By this time Harding and IOTA Global had already trained government agencies and private concerns in 5 countries to build the anti-Russian IO. When NATO COE STRATCOM was getting ready to come online to support Ukraine, it was Harding’s IO group that trained them. By early 2016, they took this already smooth-running operation back to the US where it originated and permeated US media and politics.

“What would we do? Disrupt, deny, degrade, deceive, corrupt, usurp or destroy the information. The information, please don’t forget, is the ultimate objective of cyber. That will directly impact the decision-making process of the adversary’s leader who is the ultimate target.” – Joel Harding

Joel Harding lives with his wife Denise at a modest home in the Washington Post catchment area of Lorton, Virginia, not far from the Lorton Workhouse and Reformatory. That’s a heritage site now. It was a century-old prison for Washington, DC; and also a bunker for a Nike missile battery to intercept incoming Soviet missiles, as well as for emergency government communications in the event the Nikes missed, and the Soviet missiles struck their Washington targets. Joel Harding describes himself as a one-man Nike missile and emergency communications centre against the Kremlin’s current war operations

In early March 2015, Ukrainian Information Policy designer Joel Harding laid out what to expect going forward in the following statements: “In military IIO [Inform and Influence Operations] center on the ability to influence foreign audiences, US, and global audiences, and adversely affect enemy decision making through an integrated approach. Even current event news is released in this fashion. Each portal is given messages that follow the same themes because it is an across the board mainstream effort that fills the information space entirely when it is working correctly.” The purpose of “Inform and Influence Operations” is not to provide a perspective, opinion, or lay out a policy. It is defined as the ability to make audiences “think and act” in a manner favorable to the mission objectives. This is done through applying perception management techniques which target the audience’s emotions, motives, and reasoning.

"Joel Harding either cannot keep his facts straight or is a pathological liar. While complaining about ‘Russian fakes’ and alleged Russian disinformation targeting the U.S. presidential election, you never hear from Mr. Harding — who has boasted of trying to shape Ukraine’s information war strategy as an unpaid, informal adviser — about Kiev’s own active measures targeting Donald J. Trump’s campaign in the Soviet tradition of dezinformatsiya, which many KGB officers of Ukrainian origin participated in (a fact, along with Soviet bosses Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev’s Ukrainian origins, which always gets left out of the ‘story’ told by Kiev’s propaganda)."

“Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone in between. I am building a database of planners, operators, logisticians, hackers, and anyone wanting to be involved with special activities I will call ‘inform and influence activities’. I have received a few different suggestions to help organize operations – of all sorts – against anti-Western elements. No government approval, assistance or funding. This skirts legalities. This is not explicitly illegal and it may not even be legal, at this point. That grey area extends a long way. I am only trying to assess the availability of people willing to participate in such efforts. Technology, equipment and facility offers are also appreciated. If you would like to be included in my database, please send a tailored resume to joel_harding at yahoo.com. In your resume, I am more interested in actual skills and experience. If you have hands on experience of a less than legal nature, you might not want to admit illegal work. If need be, I will contact you for clarification of your skills.”- Joel Harding

As Harding once wrote in regards to a question about the world’s billion-plus Muslims who do not condone violence, “The vast majority of peaceful people are irrelevant because they did not influence or stop those who committed those acts of atrocity.” It is this type of absolutist, black-and-white thinking, which dismisses the “the vast majority of peaceful people” as “irrelevant,” that we are dealing with in the spies-for-hire community. Joel Harding wrote the information policy for Ukraine. Myrotvorets is what it led to right away. This is the first product of the information policy, Ukraine’s infamous kill site. Ukraine maintains the right to kill anyone on listed on it, anywhere in the world, any time they choose to. And the Ukrainians use this to find and murder people who talk, post article links in social media, or write articles they don’t like.

Joel Harding has positioned himself as one of the people that will recommend and eventually help decide what is legal and acceptable behavior for people doing the work he does today. To paraphrase Harding; If it’s illegal and we want to do something, lawyers are there to rewrite the laws and get them changed fast. After the laws are changed so our actions are legal, our actions can be certified legal and our commitment to Democracy is upheld and validated. In June 2016, Joel Harding shed light on how Ukraine hires the talent it is using to shape the western media landscape. This one event showed who is doing the hiring for Poroshenko’s Ukraine. He introduced us to the handler going between Ukraine, the US State Department, and the Ukrainian Diaspora.

"A vote for Trump is a vote against Ukraine! When it comes to U.S. elections, Ukrainian Americans are a statistically minor, divided, unorganized voting group. The Central and East European Coalition is a coalition of U.S.-based organizations that represent their countries of heritage, a voting group of over 20 million people. The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America and the Ukrainian National Association are member organizations of the CEEC. Americans of East and Central European heritage can make a significant difference and influence the election result if their attention is focused.” Ukraine Weekly The Presidential Election: Can We Make A Difference"

On 3 March 2014, Harding advocated for "talent" to blow up natural gas pipelines that run from Russia to Europe through Ukraine, to "shut down a major part of Russia’s exports and, therefore, a source of money, another kind of power which Putin must truly understand".

ex-military guys who want to feel like they're in the psyops 'game' -- Joel Harding of To Inform is to Influence

Joel Harding is the man that developed and implemented Ukraine’s info war and propaganda effort as well as the Odessa Massacre and the MH17 cover ups. Joel Harding is behind every Russian invasion of Ukraine that never happened. I broke the story about Harding as the force behind Ukraine’s info war against Russia in a two part series in mid- March. The first article in the series detailed Harding’s decision to destroy American News websites, journalists, and activists that he labeled Russian active measures agents. It also detailed the methodologies for doing it.

On the Third of March, 2014, Joel Harding, a man with connections to American intelligence, advocated for “talent” to blow up natural gas pipelines that run from Russia to Europe through Ukraine. That suggestion essentially amounts to advocating terrorism, this time, indirectly threatening Europe. Joel Harding has been associated with both the Ukrainian government, as well as Neo-Nazi groups like Pravi Sektor (right sector) which is banned in Russia.

Since Harding’s definition of propaganda is “any news coming out from your opponent”, a propagandist would be tightly defined as the enemy operative that writes the news. In this view any journalist or news outlet; both mainstream and alternative that publishes articles or video going against his agenda is propaganda or worse -active measures. It is the term “active measures” below that needs to be keyed in on. Almost all of Joel Harding’s professional career has been devoted to Information Operations and developing a cyber offense to combat terrorists. A person employed in “active measures” according to its definition is committing political warfare against the USA , is a terrorist, and their writing is just short of a hot war. The writings of 1976 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Mairead Maguire fit the bill describing a terrorist that is working to overthrow the US government because she writes about the injustices done in Gaza, and Syria.

When you look at the beginning of the NSA’s intrusive policies you find Joel Harding. Harding helped pioneer the invasive software used by government and business to explore your social networks, influence you, and dig out every personal detail. In Operation Eligible Receiver 1997 he used freeware taken from the internet to invade the DoD computers, utilities, and more. It’s because most of it is based in “freeware” that NSA snooping has a legal basis. On March 1st 2014 Harding announced cyber operations for Ukraine. Harding provided military advice, the unified press stories Ukrainian media put out, IO cyber tactics, military manuals, psy-op manuals, and unified the large international press cover the Eastern European emigre populations provided. On January 11th the peacemaker website went live with a mission to …In the future the Peacemaker site will be similar to the site of the Viennese Simon Wiesenthal Center, which since the late 1940s has been focused on tracking and catching Nazi war criminals. In the case of Ukraine, these will be criminals who destroyed the Ukrainian people — the traitors,collaborators, Russian and other mercenaries, and military personnel taking part the undeclared and therefore illegal war by Russia, he concluded…”

On September 21st Harding posted this advertisement to scale up the war against you. "Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone in between. I am building a database of planners, operators, logisticians, hackers, and anyone wanting to be involved with special activities I will call ‘inform and influence activities’.
