Journalists trying to write about disinformation. nytimes.com/2021/11/28/bus…
A surprising lack of deference and reference to black and grey operations of World War Two. Some of them just one google away. smithsonianmag.com/history/fighti…
World War One "There must have been more deliberate lying in the world from 1914 to 1918 than in any other period of the world's history" bl.uk/world-war-one/…
"Yellow journalism was a style of newspaper reporting that emphasized sensationalism over facts." "The rise of yellow journalism helped to create a climate conducive to the outbreak of international conflict and the expansion of U.S. influence overseas" history.state.gov/milestones/186…
How far should we go back? Deception and psychological manipulation/projection has always been a part of war. The question is why can't journalism accept that it is called psychological warfare for a reason? thehistorycorner.org/articles-by-th…
The Hunter Biden Laptop Op was crap. A copy of Weiner Laptop Op. Who are the individuals who have approached the media to write this story and found lack of interest? Disinfo is supposed to be 90% true and 10% lies. Not 10% truth and 90% lies foxnews.com/media/politico…
A fake report by a fake expert with a photo created by AI appeared in Intelligence Quarterly Blog. Then Rudy and Rudy Giuliani and a Delaware Apple repair store owner claims to be Hunter Biden's laptop were published in the New York Post on Oct. 14. nbcnews.com/tech/security/…
The logo for Typhoon Investigations was lifted from the Taiwan Fact-Checking Center, a digital literacy nonprofit. The actual author was paid $10K to write the malicious report. Rudy then went to the Ukraine to spread salacious emails. time.com/5902557/hunter…
They even tried to dress up a Russian operation as an official US investigation. Rudy and gang worked with Andrii Derkach, a hostile foreign political operative. hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
The bottom line? Some media outlets like NBC actually check the info and purveyors and discover very quickly that it a foreign sponsored disinformation operation. Sometimes they break it down for us. nbcnews.com/politics/trump…
And if the media won't do it...well sometimes the FBI steps in and does the media's job for them. cbsnews.com/news/united-st…
Even with clear indication of a hostile foreign disinformation campaign against America being exposed... look who tried to drag the foreign psyops and election smear campaign over the finish line. thedailybeast.com/chinese-billio…

We all have favorite hotel room memories. This one is in Libya. The purpleness was fabulous. Image
My hotel in Ndjamena solved that problem with this sign Image
On one my many high speed moto trips I took this still life of dinner. Van Gogh is jealous. Image

The media tries real hard to explain weapons but they just don't get it.
Failgun videos are my favorites. Guns are dangerous kids.
Guns are tools and machines. Very ancient mechanical designs that rely on compressing explosions to direct a dense mass object towards a target. Optimally to destroy the target via trauma and concussion.

It used to be Yemen and Afghanistan. cnn.com/2021/11/26/wor…
FYI that's a population skew based on age of population. Lot more kids in Afghanistan and Yemen. But SAS also forgets to overlay violence. The numbers show Greenland is a very very dangerous place. smallarmssurvey.org/database/globa… Image
America does have a problem. Suicides outnumber murders 6 To 1 for whites; Murders outnumber suicides 3.5 To 1 for blacks. And a growing rural despondency. acsh.org/news/2017/03/1…

There is an aggressive campaign to deify Kyle Rittenhouse and demonize his victims. The end result is to normalize vigilantism. I am not sure if this is a cultural throwback to Billy the Kid and the dime novel but it's interesting.
The narrative is similar The factual basis erased.
the funniest part is that the ads that monetize these videos are pitching anti 5G beanies and low testosterone quack cures. ImageImage
