NATO and cognitive warfare with Jay Janzen
Manage episode 440499022 series 3595621
Welcome to the third episode of Disinfo Watch and the Macdonald-Laurier Institute's Active Measures podcast. Over the past two episodes, we've looked at the history of Moscow's information and influence operations.
In this episode, our host Marcus Kolga travelled to Helsinki, Finland, where he met with former Canadian Brigadier General Jay Janzen, who is currently the director of the Communications Division at NATO Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) located in Mons Belgium. Earlier in his career, Jay was deployed to Bosnia and twice to Afghanistan, where he was involved in communications operations. Jay was Director of Public Affairs for the Canadian Army, the chief of media operations at SHAPE and the Director General STRATCOM for the Canadian Armed Forces. Marcus and Jay sat down in an outdoor café next to Helsinki's Eastern harbour to chat about the threats that NATO and its members face in the information and cognitive domain, and how NATO and SHAPE are preparing to defend our collective cognitive sovereignty and fighting back against our enemies.
