What is particularly odd about this narrative surrounding imminent "Chaos" and meddling in the upcoming 2020 election is the fact that, not only have the instruments of said meddling been named and described in detail, but their use in the election was recently simulated by a company with deep ties to both U.S. and Israeli intelligence.
Even though the 2020 U.S. election is still months away, a plethora of media reports over the past six months have been raising concern.
Rolling Stone. published an article earlier this month with the headline"Hackers Are Coming for the 2020 Election - And We're Not Ready.," which claims that "the reality is that: "We've made progress since the last election - but we're much less secure than we should be." The article goes on to say that claim that the goal isn't necessarily to hack voting machines or change results, but "To merely create the impression of an attack as a way to undermine our faith in the electoral process."
The narratives being promoted with respect to the 2020 election involve many of the same intelligence agencies and media outlets who promoted claims that were later proven false.
While U.S. intelligence officials and media outlets alike have been largely responsible for setting the narrative that imminent meddling will be conducted by Russia, China and Iran, key components of that narrative, particularly with respect to China and Iran, have been laid by Cybereason, a company that recently ran 2020 doomsday election simulations.
While the media, and even Cybereason itself, have helped lay the foundation to blame specific state actors for 2020 election meddling well ahead of the fact, it is worth revisiting Cybereason's "Operation Blackout" election simulation and the tactics used by the "Bad actors" in that scenario.
In examining the other technologies weaponized during Cybereason's 2020 election simulation and cited in the aforementioned media narrative regarding 2020 meddling, a pattern similar to that of Canny AI emerges.
