   • 2024 August 8, Jonathan van Harmelen, “The Little-Known Group That Pioneered Watergate’s Dirty Tricks—and Changed American Politics”, in TIME‎, archived from the original on 14 August 2024:

     While presidential elections have been marred by mudslinging since the early Republic, these USC alums deployed a particular type of dirty tricks: what became known as “ratf--king,” or the use of unscrupulous tactics to interfere with the campaigns of opponents. The tactics pioneered by members of Trojans for Representative Government and later CREEP set a precedent for the sort of organized political sabotage that has become commonplace today in a digital world, especially for Republicans.
