I'll be covering the anti-mandate rally #DefeatTheMandatesDC on Sunday for @BTHeadline. No surprise, corporate disinformation operations are underway to discredit the march. A quick thread:
This NPR article cites an Instagram post with a screen grab of unknown origin falsely labelling it an "anti vaccine march" and claiming protesters intend to violate the mandate. Why did @amanduhgomez include this shady, untraceable post in her article? npr.org/local/305/2022…
The WaPo (which does paid content for Pfizer) ran a major story today smearing the march as "anti-vaccine" and a "movement to challenge vaccines’ safety", while baselessly linking it to an anti-abortion rally coincidentally taking place the same weekend. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…
Here's Pfizer-funded propaganda in the Washington Post. I guess they think we're dumb enough to believe this is unrelated to the rest of their "reporting."
Here's an official statement from #DefeatTheMandatesDC organizers on disinformation aimed at discrediting the march, and specifically responding to the slanderous post NPR reporter @amanduhgomez credulously included in her article.

A State Department official is clearly stating that the US is preparing to invade Haiti. Anti-imperialists should take note and make sure they’re properly informed instead of swallowing the propaganda tropes circulating on social media and mainstream news.
Here’s State Department official and president-kidnapper @LuisMorenolg agreeing with an anonymous account that the US must invade Haiti. American diplomacy at its finest

Imagine having the gall to kidnap a president but be such a thin-skinned wimp on Twitter
My understanding of the Capitol insurrection has been evolving. We're in unprecedented territory and I don't fault anyone who has been unsure of how to interpret what happened. I think @BrianBeckerDC's analysis since January 6th has been correct, so I encourage everyone to listen
Nominee to lead State Department Tony Blinken recently explained that Biden's pledge to "end the forever wars" means the US will reduce large-scale deployments while expanding secret wars waged by special forces and proxies.
Tony Blinken pushed for clandestine weapons shipments to jihadist "moderate rebels" in Syria, neo-Nazi "freedom fighters" in Ukraine, and praised Trump for bombing Syria.
So much for "defeating fascism"!
In 2015, @ABlinken was a major proponent of expediting weapons shipments and expanding intelligence sharing with Saudi Arabia and UAE to fuel the genocide of Yemen. reuters.com/article/us-yem…
Much to the delight of Mike Pompeo, western media outlets published articles claiming China is sterilizing Uighur Muslims. All of these articles are based on the claims of Adrian Zenz, a homophobic fundamentalist Christian who sees himself as an anti-China crusader "led by God".
.@ajitxsingh and @MaxBlumenthal exposed how Zenz's laughably shoddy "research" methods were taken at face value by credulous western media outlets bent on promoting the Cold War with China.
Starting in the late 80s, western media outlets accused China of sterilizing women in Tibet. A 2001 fact finding mission debunked the reports and warned against "using refugee reports and anecdotal evidence to interpret highly politicized situations". savetibet.org/new-report-dis…
This nurse #AybenHuaranca was the only medical professional who treated the protesters wounded and killed by the Bolivian coup in the #SenkataMassacre. Now the military dictatorship has arrested him on false charges of terrorism, alleging he disguised himself as a soldier and cop
Here #AybenHuaranca declares his innocence, says photos showing someone impersonating a soldier are not of him and that he is being destroyed.
Footage emerging from Cochabamba, Bolivia shows the aftermath of a massacre of indigenous protesters carried out by coup soldiers and police. This will be ignored by western media.
More footage of the Cochabamba massacre. This man appears to have been shot in the chest.
Horrifying image of the victims of the Cochabamba massacre. This is the predictable result of the fascist coup that the US, @OAS_official and their western media lackeys supported. Blood is on their hands.
