War Horse 2020

“War Horse 2020” is a modern day Trojan Horse offered to the people of the United States by the Russian Government. A golden Trump “gift horse” tears through its wrapping of newspapers, magazines, the Mueller Report (in its entirety), and social media logos on the outer surface, but lined in green computer code on the inside.  Computer hackers wrapped in code themselves, stealthily emerge from the horse’s belly onto a computer keyboard base, ready for battle. These hackers initiate warfare by infecting our social media, news sources, and our own personal technology devices with fake news stories and disinformation campaigns that can, and already have, influenced our elections. These insidious violations of our news media outlets, social media, and political platforms remain unchecked. The “onion domes” of St Basil’s cathedral are referenced on the horse’s hindquarters embedded with computer circuitry to complement the unique architecture and to underscore the Russian surveillance state that threatens our democracy.
