People are not "resistant to facts" about climate change because they're stupid. People think climate change is a hoax because there's been a decades-long PR campaign to warp public opinion about climate change. scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-…
What do you expect will happen when you bombard the public with sophisticated propaganda campaigns for so long?

The governor said law enforcement had intercepted “extremist rhetoric” similar to the lead-up to Charlottesville days before pro-gun activists are holding a rally. vice.com/en_us/article/…
I hope these numbers are hugely overestimated but if they’ve already got 60 buses... that’s a sizable crowd.
“White nationalist militia” 😬

One of the worst trolls on this website & a major source of disinfo is a US Senator 🤫
Exhibit A: November 2019 Senator Rubio tweeted an old video and said it was from a current protest. The old video is still on his timeline, he never deleted or corrected it.
Exhibit B:

A 2016 @TBIJ investigation ID'ed $540 million in transactions between the Pentagon & British PR firm, Bell Pottinger for information operations & psyops from May 2007 to Dec 2011. A similar contract for appx same annual rate, $120M, was in force in 2006, labs.thebureauinvestigates.com/fake-news-and-…
July 2017: "It takes a certain level of cynicism to race bait South Africans to protect profits. It’s downright underhanded to hire a public relations firm to do it professionally." qz.com/africa/1023901…
The general public needs to understand how the PR industry works and its role in creating & disseminating #disinformation but the PR industry depends on the general public not understanding how they're being targeted with sophisticated messaging and PR campaigns. #disinfo2020

Spring Offensive

The 1918 Spring Offensive, or Kaiserschlacht ("Kaiser's Battle"), also known as the Ludendorff Offensive, was a series of German attacks along the Western Front during the First World War, beginning on 21 March 1918. The Germans had realised that their only
remaining chance of victory was to defeat the Allies before the United States could fully deploy their resources. The German Army had gained a temporary advantage in numbers as nearly 50 divisions had been freed by the Russian withdrawal from the war with the Treaty of
Brest-Litovsk.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (22 – 28 September)

1. Time for another edition of the news from last week that the legacy media buried or obfuscated because the stories don’t fit their “Republican bad, Democrats good” narrative.
2. Let’s get started with a story that falls into the “it’s about damn time” category:

<quote>
2A. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan announced Monday a combination of new immigration initiatives is helping lead to the end of “catch and release” and added that the White House will abolish the policy altogether as soon as next week.

@MichaelAvenatti @fams2gether If you don't understand...if you're unfamiliar with the psychological damage separating a young child from their parent or primary caregiver can have, this video will learn you hard.

Please.... #DontLookAway
@MichaelAvenatti @fams2gether There's a "shelter" in Arizona with 12 children under age 5, children from the border. One infant is only 3mos old. None of these children are w/their mothers or fathers. They are all alone, in an institutional setting.

At least 3 were TAKEN from family.
revealnews.org/episodes/in-ha…
@MichaelAvenatti @fams2gether There are at least two more shelters in the US also now taking very young children, "tender age" children, in ORR custody. One in Pennsylvania, one in California.

How many children are yet being taken from their parents and other family, a year after the policy was meant to end?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
