#Propaganda #protip: Never forget that #Editing is #Lying.

Read this #WaPo story: web.archive.org/web/2022010808…. Than look at this 3-tweet thread by Michael P Senger: . Almost NOTHING of what Senger points out as misinformation appears in the WaPo piece.
And of the one or two claims that do make it in, there is no hint whatsoever that the claims might be false.

The CDC has stated that the vaccinated can catch and spread the disease, e.g., but Kagan’s statement to the contrary is not challenged.
Another egregious example is in this Vox story; vox.com/2022/1/7/22871…. The #Biden administration apparently claims that covid is more deadly than smallpox, yellow fever, or cholera. That is complete nonsense, unbelievably wrong.
Yet another example is controversial historical events. How did the fleet get caught unguarded at Pearl Harbor? Were Sacco and Vanzetti guilty? How about Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs? You need to dig to have an intelligent opinion.
The easiest way a propagandist can manipulate you is by making sure you hear only one side of a controversy. Always seek out multiple sides.

#Propaganda #protip: Never underestimate the power of the Big Lie. There have been NO studies about the implications of this, long term, because there CAN’T be. They would have had to sit on the #vax for YEARS to conduct them. We’ll find out the implications in future years.
Did you know the word “cisapride.” It’s the name of a drug introduced to the U.S. market in 1993, and ‘voluntarily’ withdrawn from the market in 2000. (It’s still available for vet use). Why was it withdrawn? It kills people. OOPS!

How did it ever get approved?
There were deaths among the test subjects in the clinical trials. But there didn’t seem like a lot of deaths, it was plausible that they were coincidental, so the regulators made a judgment call and approved it.

That is not a scandal. The scandal came later.

And this stinking pile of 💩 reveals her inner nature. She is full of resentment and envy, and took the opportunity of a horrific quintuple murder to display what she thought was wit.

Truly #evil. Utterly #disgusting. The Twitter rules prevent me saying more.
And look at THIS imbecility, where she can't understand what she did wrong, and says her remarks were in "bad taste." As if anybody on Twitter cared about taste.

Note also how she tries to cover herself with "free speech," and how her "accepting responsibility" lie All text, reads: I firmly believe in the right to freedom of

Let's look at her "bad taste." Here's one example, which she has since deleted. "No one" @tweettruth2me tweeted : "When your political ideology means more to you than human life, you have lost your way." Lemanski's reply: Quote tweet by Lemanski: Quoted tweet from Heavy.com, all te

The #WaPo has a decent review of "The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story," the new book based on the notorious #NYTimes Sunday Magazine articles.

Reviewer @CarlosLozadaWP notes the basic dishonesty of the project, where criticisms are met by changing the definitions of words.
For instance, when Nikole Hannah-Jones says blacks fought for their rights "alone," that doesn't mean "Without aid or support," or "Without anyone else." It means "without the support of the majority of white Americans."
This is dubious as stated (did the majority of whites oppose the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or the Voting Rights Act of 1965? If answering, please present evidence). It is also irrelevant. A minority of white Americans has always fought for black rights. NHJ lies about this.

#Propaganda #protip: This is an example of #IntellectualBaitAndSwitch. And a typical #gamma move.

Mr. Arthur asked " Is there any real difference between [Rittenhouse] and a child soldier on the Ethiopian border?" I replied, showing some of the differences.
Now he opines about "well-trained militia(s)", trying to imply that this has some bearing on his initial question. It's like pointing out that Ethiopian child soldiers and Rittenhouse both are members of the human species. True, but it has no bearing on the subject.
It's a typical gamma move in that gammas can't bring themselves to admit they made a mistake. Instead of acknowledging that his initial wisecrack was wrong, he has to find something else he can claim to be right about, and tell himself it cancels his previous error.

@robkhenderson .Evolution does something? How can it, unless objective reality exists?

And the "computer simulation" is bullshit. One computer "organism" can see "objective reality" but can't recognize danger, but another can see "danger" but not the computerized "reality"?
@robkhenderson Within the context of the simulation, recognizing "this will kill me" is recognizing "reality."

This is another example of people proving 2+2 can equal five, by substituting other numbers for 2. It's just dishonest.

Then there's the perception nonsense.
@robkhenderson ‘In like manner, we create an apple when we look, and destroy it when we look away. Something exists when we don’t look, but it isn’t an apple, and is probably nothing like an apple,’ Hoffman writes.”

No, we see an apple. This is just being systematically dishonest.
