When it comes to spreading disinformation, you want to make it big, bold, and beautiful.

Or, at the very least, you want it to be a little bit louder, a little bit worse, and a little bit more confusing.

Here are some advanced disinformation protocols to help you get started:

Protocol #1: Misdirection by Misstatement

Make a bold claim, then retract it with a wink and a nod.

Protocol #2: Selective Truth-Telling is also a thing, but only for those with a strong stomach.

Protocol #3: Deny-It-All

Avoid answering any actual questions with a blanket statement: "I didn't do it, and even if I did, I'd never tell you, and even if I told you, I'd deny it afterwards."

Protocol #4: Big-Boy Tactics is for those who want to go big or go home.

But remember, disinformation is an art, not a science (unless the science is a social science, in which case, it's still a science... but not really).
