The Alliance for Securing Democracy (ASD) is a bipartisan transatlantic national security advocacy group formed in July 2017 to counter efforts by Russia to undermine democratic institutions in the United States and Europe. The organization is chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Its daily operations are led by Laura Rosenberger, a former senior State Department official in the Obama administration, and Jamie Fly, former national security counselor to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). The ASD is housed at The German Marshall Fund of the United States and pursues its work in both the United States and Europe.
In 2016, the CIA, FBI, NSA, and the Director of National Intelligence concluded that Russia had interfered in US elections. The Alliance for Securing Democracy declared that it will develop strategies to "defend against, deter, and raise the costs" on any attempts by Russia or "other state actors" to undermine democracy. Former acting CIA Director Michael Morrell stated that the group will fulfill some of the role that ideally would have been handled by a national investigative commission.
Hamilton 68
The "Hamilton 68" Dashboard on the ASD website tracks in real-time 600 Twitter social media accounts that the ASD believes are "linked to Russian influence," whether knowingly or unknowingly. In September 2017, the group launched a similar German-language website focused on possible Russian influence in German politics. The ASD's tracking encompasses social media accounts it suspects are related to the Russian government or Russian state media, as well as accounts it believes to be unconnected to Russia, but which repeat what it sees as Russian government views.
The then newly formed ASD said in August 2017 that it was "exploring ways" to similarly analyze Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube.
Advisory council and staff
The ASD is governed by an Advisory Council and an operating staff who are drawn from the American Marshall Fund. The Washington Post called the membership of the advisory council "a who's who of former senior national security officials from both parties." Members of the bipartisan personnel include Michael Chertoff (Republican - former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security) and Mike McFaul (Democrat - former US Ambassador to Russia).
According to Glenn Greenwald, the ASD is backed by neocon warmongers.
