Maybe you missed the 'defence' part?
Friend, I accept that there is a level of snark, when it comes to this stuff, but even rudimentary check of the website in question[1] will tell you that there are two pieces to this program:
- ACTIVE SOCIAL ENGINEERING DEFENSE (ASED) - LARGE SCALE SOCIAL DECEPTION (LSD)
I presume you are being snarky about ASED. I was thinking about the other one.

Where are you seeing that there’s two pieces? I’m only seeing it referred to as one program there. I’m not a govt contracts expert so by all means let me know what I’m missing.
That's defense of the government apparatus in the same sense as “Continuity Of Government” — not defense of constituents themselves.
Was the Patriot Act patriotic?
Right, just like the DoD is "defending" us.
