The claim that #Stalin deliberately organized a famine in 1932 in order to exterminate the Ukrainian nation stems from the arsenal of #Nazi & OUN-B falsifications of history, as Clara Weiss proves in detail in two articles published this week on the @WSWS_Updates website.

It was a generous opportunity by a paper that had blessed me with 15 years of real estate as a nightlife columnist and music writer. But each time I drafted the memoir, it kept coming out bloody: as a writer youâre always running with the bulls in the Pamplona of your mind.

-what is media? Itâs really anything out there: TV, papers, mags, internet. This is an extremely general term. Do not use it, unless you specify which medium. Particularly if you are unhappy with this medium. When you use media in a derogatory manner, you hurt *all* media.
-what is MSM? Who the hell knows. Especially in todayâs digital age. Propagandists love using and abusing this term. Be wary of it. See above. Skip usage.

Today is #NationalWhistleblowerDay. Please support #nationalsecurity #whistleblowers who have made some of the most important disclosures in the history of the United States, and have suffered tremendous consequences.
Among them are @DanielEllsberg @JesselynRadack @Thomas_Drake1 @Bill_Binney #ThomasTamm @xychelsea #StephenKim @JohnKiriakou @Snowden #RealityWinner @S_UnwantedSpy #TerryAlbury #DanielHale
By definition whistleblowers reveal information in the public interest. They expose government misconduct, such as information about unconstitutional mass surveillance, torture, the secret drone war, foreign election interference, discrimination, civil and human rights abuses.
Amazing day listening to experts on #humanrights and #disinformation conference promoted by @EURightsAgency.
10 notes so far:
1. Disinformation has not become more sophisticated. Most of it remains quite basic and deep fakes are rare.

On April 8th, photojournalist Malika Abeykoon was brought to the Maligakanda magistrate by the Sri Lankan police, after being arrested on April 7th for covering a health workers' protest in the capital of Sri Lanka.

The police had submitted a medical report signed by a JMO (Judicial Medical Officer) which indicated that Abeykoon had sustained no injuries.
However Abeykoon screamed that this was not the case to the judge, removing his shirt and revealing various bruises and scars he had received at the hands of the Sri Lankan police. He went on to elaborate that he was not able to squat due to the Sri Lankan police's torture.
My new film UNITED STATES VS. REALITY WINNER is about #RealityWinner who disclosed one document about Russian election interference to the media and received the longest prison sentence ever imposed on a #whistleblower in federal court: 63 months.
Reality Winner is in prison right now, where she had contracted COVID-19, and is especially vulnerable because of underlying health conditions such as a history of respiratory illnesses, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression.
