Operation Earnest Voice
Operation Earnest Voice is an online influencing agency. During 10th – 13th we’re setting up our Brexit Division office on the third floor of The Photographers' Gallery in central London. Our office will be accessible to both Gallery visitors and a live online audience. The mission of our Brexit Division office is to reverse Brexit.
We take our name and inspiration from Operation Earnest Voice, the US-sponsored campaign, whose purpose is to spread pro-American propaganda on social networking sites. The campaign relies on sockpuppets to comment and derail online conversations, with the goal of influencing and swaying the public opinion in any particular topic or theme. China has a similar operation called The 50th Party and Russia's is called The Internet Research Agency. Our office uses similar tools and strategies to influence and sway the public.
Our team consists of 12 core employees, that have a wide range of expertise, from copy writers, image/meme makers, to programmers and social media strategists. During the 10th to the 13th of January, the 12 employees come together to work with one political goal in mind, to collaboratively develop a media narrative / campaign to reverse Brexit by using a wide range of tactics to manipulate the public opinion, and create new narratives that aim to disrupt the current political debate.
In the second week of January, Operation Earnest Voice will set up its Brexit Division at The Photographers' Gallery in London. Come by for an in person visit or tune in here via the live stream.
