1921: Soviet secret police built a fake resistance movement from scratch to draw out dissidents. It was called The Trust. Fake leaders. Fake safe houses. Fake secret meetings, some attended by Soviet officials posing as sympathetic insiders. For 5 years, real dissidents believed it was the underground resistance. They trusted its leadership, passed along names, walked straight into the open. The resistance never existed. It was a stage set built to find out who believed in it. Sound familiar? You don’t need a fake movement anymore when everyone’s already broadcasting their views, their locations, their contacts, and their networks in public, for free. The Trust took 5 years and a small army of agents to build. Today’s version requires nothing, just patience, and a scroll.
