On this week's Active Measures Newsletter Podcast, Mark Jacobson and Jim Ludes discuss a strategy--seemingly inspired by the film "The Untouchables"--to counter Russia's hybrid attacks on the West. They then move on to the dynamic environment around the Olympics; the latest in efforts to counter the Doppelganger campaign; Russia's efforts to target Moldova's upcoming election; and efforts in Canada and across NATO to fight back more effectively.

Companion podcast to the Active Measures Newsletter No. 293.

In this week's Active Measures Newsletter Podcast, Jim Ludes and Mark Jacobson discuss two weeks of heavy news: leaked plans documenting Russia's propaganda campaign against the West; the way Russian sources depicted the 75th Anniversary NATO summit; a U.S. Department of Justice take down of nearly 1,000 sock-puppet accounts on social media; and the way the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was spun, both internationally and domestically.

NATO leaders meet in Washington this week to mark the 75th anniversary of the alliance amidst as hostile an information environment as the alliance has ever known. We break down what's at stake at the summit, recent reports of Russian efforts to target French elections and the up-coming Olympics, evidence of disinformation in the UK election, and what health-related misinformation teaches us about the need for institutional integrity.
