And there is a difference between that and activating intelligence in a way that's designed to influence elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama discussed cybersecurity with Vladimir Putin during a 90-minute meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit held in China in early September. The president characterized the meeting at the time as \"candid, blunt, businesslike.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Obama is threatening to retaliate against Russia, he has only about five weeks left in the Oval Office. Trump has dismissed — in fact, mocked — intelligence assessments tying the DNC and Podesta hacks to Russia, and he campaigned on improving the U.S. relationship with the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his interview with NPR, Obama appeared mystified by that stance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The irony of all this, of course, is that for most of my presidency, there's been a pretty sizable wing of the Republican Party that has consistently criticized me for not being tough enough on Russia,\" he said. \"Some of those folks during the campaign endorsed Donald Trump, despite the fact that a central tenet of his foreign policy was we shouldn't be so tough on Russia.

I’m here handling various personal issues. But at the same time, we have some political goals we can achieve while I’m here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those political goals include establishing a California embassy in Moscow, Marinelli says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re starting a dialogue about California becoming an independent country,” Marinelli says. “And I’m able to speak with the media here. I’ve been in the TV and the radio and the newspaper several times here in Russia.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, Marinelli’s movement was covered almost exclusively in outlets funded by the Russian government and Communist Party before picking up more mainstream attention in the past few months. The ascendancy of his secessionist organization says just as much about the state of media as it does about the Russian government’s ability to sway U.S. public opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Russian Coverage Turns Into American News\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Yes California campaign aims to get a referendum question on the primary ballot in 2019. It would ask voters to strike language in the state Constitution that recognizes the supremacy of the U.S. government. It would also ask voters whether California should secede.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar proposals to split up the state or have it withdraw from the Union have failed to make the ballot on legal grounds. Prior to November, the Yes California campaign had not filed required paperwork with the state, let alone started the signature-gathering process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these significant obstacles for the group -- and with little, if any, grass-roots support for the campaign -- Russian media outlets covered Marinelli’s effort in earnest. Several times, the Communist Party's Pravda newspaper covered the Yes California campaign, including this September, when he met with other secessionists at a conference sponsored by the Russian government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Marinelli] is sure that his organization will manage to carry out a referendum and attain California’s independence,” a Pravda story said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Yes California group has also been profiled several times on RT, Russia's government-funded, globally focused TV network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is secession possible?” an RT host asked during a segment in July. “Could that ever occur under [U.S] laws?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for U.S. outlets, those that covered Marinelli and Yes California did so with a tone reserved for weird and outlandish stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August 2015, the Los Angeles Times did \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-morrison-marinelli-20150826-column.html\" target=\"_blank\">a light Q&A\u003c/a> with Marinelli during his quixotic run for the state Assembly (when Yes California was called Sovereign California). And \u003ca href=\"http://www.newsweek.com/calexit-brexit-buoys-california-independence-movement-474576\" target=\"_blank\">Newsweek profiled Marinelli\u003c/a> in June, after the United Kingdom’s Brexit vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the year 2020, Louis Marinelli hopes to be the \u003ca href=\"http://www.alexsalmond.scot/\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Salmond\u003c/a> of California,” Newsweek wrote, referring to a leading proponent of Scottish independence from the UK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until Trump's victory last month that mainstream U.S. outlets -- including the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article113790243.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sacramento Bee\u003c/a>, the L.A. Times and NPR -- covered the group more seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story got new legs because several influential tech figures took to Twitter to voice their desire for California to leave the union after Trump’s election. Among them was Shervin Pishevar, an investor and co-founder of Hyperloop One, a startup promoting \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/15/high-speed-rail-reality-and-hyperloop-dreams/\" target=\"_blank\">a futuristic new transportation technology\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Trump wins I am announcing and funding a legitimate campaign for California to become its own nation,” Pishevar tweeted. That message would be retweeted almost 2,000 times, and soon the idea was trending on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/shervin/status/796190968735289344\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business Insider picked up on the social media fervor and published \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/california-secession-calexit-2016-11\" target=\"_blank\"> a story\u003c/a> mentioning both Yes California and Pishevar. Soon, Pishevar was linked to Yes California, bolstering the movement’s credibility. And as people, including journalists, searched for terms like “California sovereignty” or “Cal Exit”, they found the\u003cbr>\nRussian coverage of Louis Marinelli’s fringe movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what Russia is great at,” says Robert English, an expert on Russia and associate professor of international relations, Slavic languages and environmental studies at USC. “Their media apparatus is so good at spreading disinformation. It makes the line between nutsos and normal people hard to draw.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Evolution of a Propaganda War\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>English, who also serves as deputy director of USC's School of International Relations, worked as a foreign affairs analyst in the Reagan administration Department of Defense. English says during his time there, he would often see outrageous and patently false stories produced by Soviet propaganda outlets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of them would make their way into Western media outlets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Take the story that \u003ca href=\"http://www.snopes.com/medical/disease/aids.asp\" target=\"_blank\">AIDS was created\u003c/a> in a lab in Fort Detrick,” English says. “Not a true story. Horribly offensive. Cited people who didn’t exist. The [Soviets] \u003ca href=\"https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol53no4/pdf/U-%20Boghardt-AIDS-Made%20in%20the%20USA-17Dec.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">planted that story\u003c/a> with friendly Indian newspapers. Soon it was in Latin America, and eventually the AP would pick it up, and then U.S. officials are being asked about it on the record.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>English says Russia has greatly improved its disinformation techniques.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But today it’s more nefarious because it looks better,” English says. “It doesn’t look like it’s on the fringe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>English says the goal of Russian propaganda is not to create an instant calamity that leads to revolution. Rather, it’s designed to exploit existing tensions in Western and U.S. society. For example, the AIDS-Fort Detrick story was planted to amplify existing distrust between India, Latin America and the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>English says sowing domestic political divisions in the U.S. appears to be the motivating factor in supporting Yes California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marinelli’s effort is endorsed by the Kremlin, which hosted Yes California as part of an anti-globalization conference in Moscow in September. The conference was paid for by the Russian government, and the pictures of Marinelli flanked by other “freedom fighters” from Texas (\"Texit,\" anyone?), Catalonia, Ireland and Puerto Rico provided Yes California a veneer of legitimacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a similar approach Russia took when \u003ca href=\"http://www.ukip.org/about_nigel\" target=\"_blank\">Nigel Farage\u003c/a> -- the leader of the anti-EU party UKIP -- was still considered a fringe character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RT even offered Farage his own show on the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These efforts by Putin’s Kremlin to prop up fringe causes have been a concern of U.S. officials for several years. In \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/20150527_biden_transcript.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a speech last year\u003c/a> at the Brookings Institution, Vice President Joe Biden warned of Russian attempts to influence Western elections in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Kremlin is working hard to buy off and co-opt European political forces, funding both right-wing and left-wing anti-systemic forces,” Biden said. “President Putin sees such political force as useful tools, to be manipulated, to create cracks in the European body politic, which he can then exploit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden added: “These actions are abetted by a hyperaggressive Russian propaganda machine that actively spreads disinformation, and does it very well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USC's English says it’s important to remember that the U.S., too, is waging a campaign -- against Putin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 2011, you had President Obama’s administration breach the norm and suggest Putin’s party committed election fraud,” English says. “There couldn’t be more direct interference than having the U.S. administration saying, ‘We don’t want Putin.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>English also notes that the U.S. is believed to be behind \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ukraine-crisis/payback-russia-gets-hacked-revealing-putin-aide-s-secrets-n673956\" target=\"_blank\">recent Ukrainian hacks\u003c/a> of sensitive Russian government emails. Meantime, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/10/cia-concludes-russian-interference-aimed-to-elect-trump/\" target=\"_blank\">the CIA has concluded\u003c/a> that Russia was behind the effort to hack and release Democratic campaign emails in an effort to get Trump elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russia has also been tied to fake news stories that were damaging to Clinton’s candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in this place where news consumers honestly have no idea what they’re consuming,” says Kelly McBride, vice president of the Poynter Institute. “Some of the fake news is really bad actors trying to negatively influence the American democratic process in order to change the balance of world events.

I’m here handling various personal issues.

I’ve been in the TV and the radio and the newspaper several times here in Russia.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, Marinelli’s movement was covered almost exclusively in outlets funded by the Russian government and Communist Party before picking up more mainstream attention in the past few months. The ascendancy of his secessionist organization says just as much about the state of media as it does about the Russian government’s ability to sway U.S. public opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Russian Coverage Turns Into American News\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Yes California campaign aims to get a referendum question on the primary ballot in 2019. It would ask voters to strike language in the state Constitution that recognizes the supremacy of the U.S. government. It would also ask voters whether California should secede.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar proposals to split up the state or have it withdraw from the Union have failed to make the ballot on legal grounds. Prior to November, the Yes California campaign had not filed required paperwork with the state, let alone started the signature-gathering process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these significant obstacles for the group -- and with little, if any, grass-roots support for the campaign -- Russian media outlets covered Marinelli’s effort in earnest. Several times, the Communist Party's Pravda newspaper covered the Yes California campaign, including this September, when he met with other secessionists at a conference sponsored by the Russian government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Marinelli] is sure that his organization will manage to carry out a referendum and attain California’s independence,” a Pravda story said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Yes California group has also been profiled several times on RT, Russia's government-funded, globally focused TV network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is secession possible?” an RT host asked during a segment in July. “Could that ever occur under [U.S] laws?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for U.S. outlets, those that covered Marinelli and Yes California did so with a tone reserved for weird and outlandish stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August 2015, the Los Angeles Times did \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-morrison-marinelli-20150826-column.html\" target=\"_blank\">a light Q&A\u003c/a> with Marinelli during his quixotic run for the state Assembly (when Yes California was called Sovereign California).

Times and NPR -- covered the group more seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story got new legs because several influential tech figures took to Twitter to voice their desire for California to leave the union after Trump’s election. Among them was Shervin Pishevar, an investor and co-founder of Hyperloop One, a startup promoting \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/15/high-speed-rail-reality-and-hyperloop-dreams/\" target=\"_blank\">a futuristic new transportation technology\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Trump wins I am announcing and funding a legitimate campaign for California to become its own nation,” Pishevar tweeted.

Rather, it’s designed to exploit existing tensions in Western and U.S. society. For example, the AIDS-Fort Detrick story was planted to amplify existing distrust between India, Latin America and the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>English says sowing domestic political divisions in the U.S. appears to be the motivating factor in supporting Yes California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marinelli’s effort is endorsed by the Kremlin, which hosted Yes California as part of an anti-globalization conference in Moscow in September. The conference was paid for by the Russian government, and the pictures of Marinelli flanked by other “freedom fighters” from Texas (\"Texit,\" anyone?), Catalonia, Ireland and Puerto Rico provided Yes California a veneer of legitimacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a similar approach Russia took when \u003ca href=\"http://www.ukip.org/about_nigel\" target=\"_blank\">Nigel Farage\u003c/a> -- the leader of the anti-EU party UKIP -- was still considered a fringe character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RT even offered Farage his own show on the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These efforts by Putin’s Kremlin to prop up fringe causes have been a concern of U.S. officials for several years.

Here is why some of Trump's critics say the president-elect could be a threat to democratic institutions and why others say those fears are overblown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump is shaping up to be more than just an activist president. With one tweet, he drives down the stock price of a major American company. With another, he unleashes a flood of death threats against a local labor leader who displeased him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evan McMullin, a former Republican House staffer and CIA operative who ran as an independent for president against Trump, points to Trump's intervention with the Carrier company. Trump's involvement led to Carrier agreeing to keep 750 jobs in the U.S. instead of moving them to Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McMullin charged that the Carrier deal showed that Trump has authoritarian instincts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The most fundamental part of authoritarianism is this idea that what the authoritarian believes should go,\" McMullin told NPR. \"They are the only authority. It's the president making decisions about particular companies rather than working within the system to create laws that affect companies in the context of the rule of law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But others, even critics of Trump, say the Carrier deal was not necessarily a sign of a populist authoritarian in the making — it was merely bad economic policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Wall Street Journal\u003c/em> columnist Bret Stephens, a Trump critic, said the president-elect is giving new meaning to the bully part of the bully pulpit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It just sets a dangerous precedent that a president can take a private company by the throat,\" Stephens said. \"It's not what you'd expect from a guy who supposedly believes in the power that supports free markets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, say others, it was a pretty lousy deal — since Carrier has announced it plans to automate the plant and lay off even more workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump's supporters say his intervention with Carrier shows Trump is a strong leader — doing exactly what he promised to do during the campaign. Conservative talk-show host Laura Ingraham, who is in contention for White House press secretary, said what Trump did, when he reminded Carrier's parent company about its defense contracts with the federal government and got the company to accept the package of incentives the state of Indiana was already offering, was well within the bounds of executive action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Giving companies incentives to stay in states, as you see governors do all the time,\" Ingraham said, \"what's wrong with that? What's wrong with doing things that actually help regular, working-class Americans and that are popular?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the debate about Trump and democracy doesn't stop there. His critics say they can find no instance where Trump spoke in defense of democratic institutions or values. During the campaign he questioned the ability of a U.S.-born judge with Mexican parents to preside fairly over a lawsuit against him. Trump was suggesting that being an American has more to do with ethnic heritage than shared values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the weekend, Trump cast doubt on U.S. intelligence and said he doesn't plan to take daily intelligence briefings. He has repeatedly sided with Russia, casting doubt that Russians hacked Democratic National Committee emails and the emails of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta — and colluded to release them via WikiLeaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CIA concluded Russia did so in an effort to help install Trump as the next U.S. president. Trump dismisses any evidence of that. President Obama has launched a \"full review\" of international meddling related to U.S. elections going back to the 2008 election, when China was found to have hacked both the Obama and McCain campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to freedom of speech, Trump is famous for his attacks on the media. Those are standard for political candidates, but Trump went even further, threatening to alter libel laws so journalists could be \"sued like they've never been sued before.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the campaign, Trump also promised to throw Hillary Clinton in jail. Even after he won, his critics say his magnanimous offer to \u003cem>refrain\u003c/em> from prosecuting her showed a lack of understanding of the U.S. democratic system, under which presidents don't get to decide by themselves whom to prosecute, let alone throw in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the ongoing debate about Trump's constant stream of statements that have no basis in fact. Coupled with the torrent of fake news stories (which Trump has repeated), these falsehoods, Trump's critics say, could undermine liberal democracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether stating with zero proof that millions of noncitizens voted illegally, claiming falsely that climate change is a hoax, questioning baselessly (for years) if Obama was born in the United States, stating that he \"heard\" the unemployment rate might really be 42 percent or that everything people hear from the \"dishonest media\" is a lie, Trump's messages are designed to sow confusion, McMullin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, if citizens can't believe anything they hear, then the easiest path is to just trust the leader.

Here is why some of Trump's critics say the president-elect could be a threat to democratic institutions and why others say those fears are overblown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump is shaping up to be more than just an activist president. With one tweet, he drives down the stock price of a major American company. With another, he unleashes a flood of death threats against a local labor leader who displeased him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evan McMullin, a former Republican House staffer and CIA operative who ran as an independent for president against Trump, points to Trump's intervention with the Carrier company. Trump's involvement led to Carrier agreeing to keep 750 jobs in the U.S. instead of moving them to Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McMullin charged that the Carrier deal showed that Trump has authoritarian instincts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The most fundamental part of authoritarianism is this idea that what the authoritarian believes should go,\" McMullin told NPR. \"They are the only authority. It's the president making decisions about particular companies rather than working within the system to create laws that affect companies in the context of the rule of law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But others, even critics of Trump, say the Carrier deal was not necessarily a sign of a populist authoritarian in the making — it was merely bad economic policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Wall Street Journal\u003c/em> columnist Bret Stephens, a Trump critic, said the president-elect is giving new meaning to the bully part of the bully pulpit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It just sets a dangerous precedent that a president can take a private company by the throat,\" Stephens said. \"It's not what you'd expect from a guy who supposedly believes in the power that supports free markets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, say others, it was a pretty lousy deal — since Carrier has announced it plans to automate the plant and lay off even more workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump's supporters say his intervention with Carrier shows Trump is a strong leader — doing exactly what he promised to do during the campaign. Conservative talk-show host Laura Ingraham, who is in contention for White House press secretary, said what Trump did, when he reminded Carrier's parent company about its defense contracts with the federal government and got the company to accept the package of incentives the state of Indiana was already offering, was well within the bounds of executive action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Giving companies incentives to stay in states, as you see governors do all the time,\" Ingraham said, \"what's wrong with that? What's wrong with doing things that actually help regular, working-class Americans and that are popular?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the debate about Trump and democracy doesn't stop there. His critics say they can find no instance where Trump spoke in defense of democratic institutions or values. During the campaign he questioned the ability of a U.S.-born judge with Mexican parents to preside fairly over a lawsuit against him. Trump was suggesting that being an American has more to do with ethnic heritage than shared values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the weekend, Trump cast doubt on U.S. intelligence and said he doesn't plan to take daily intelligence briefings. He has repeatedly sided with Russia, casting doubt that Russians hacked Democratic National Committee emails and the emails of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta — and colluded to release them via WikiLeaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CIA concluded Russia did so in an effort to help install Trump as the next U.S. president. Trump dismisses any evidence of that. President Obama has launched a \"full review\" of international meddling related to U.S. elections going back to the 2008 election, when China was found to have hacked both the Obama and McCain campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to freedom of speech, Trump is famous for his attacks on the media. Those are standard for political candidates, but Trump went even further, threatening to alter libel laws so journalists could be \"sued like they've never been sued before.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the campaign, Trump also promised to throw Hillary Clinton in jail. Even after he won, his critics say his magnanimous offer to \u003cem>refrain\u003c/em> from prosecuting her showed a lack of understanding of the U.S. democratic system, under which presidents don't get to decide by themselves whom to prosecute, let alone throw in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the ongoing debate about Trump's constant stream of statements that have no basis in fact. Coupled with the torrent of fake news stories (which Trump has repeated), these falsehoods, Trump's critics say, could undermine liberal democracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether stating with zero proof that millions of noncitizens voted illegally, claiming falsely that climate change is a hoax, questioning baselessly (for years) if Obama was born in the United States, stating that he \"heard\" the unemployment rate might really be 42 percent or that everything people hear from the \"dishonest media\" is a lie, Trump's messages are designed to sow confusion, McMullin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, if citizens can't believe anything they hear, then the easiest path is to just trust the leader. And, Trump has said, \"I alone\" can fix the country's problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To McMullin, this is a hallmark of authoritarians. He points to Trump's false claim that millions of illegal votes prevented him from winning a popular-vote majority, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It serves to undermine our democratic institutions,\" McMullin said. \"If those institutions are weakened, if we have less faith, for example, in elections, that strengthens the hand of the authoritarian.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The response of Trump's supporters to that critique hasn't been what you'd expect.
