“The word ‘misinformation’ does not mean anything other than ‘information the elites don’t like’. The word’s only function is to smear... Much of what is treated as undisputed fact are opinions, hypotheses and insinuations from compromised institutions.”

“These non-profits also perform the bonus function of mopping up a seemingly endless supply of earnest, young university graduates with all the right credentials and impeccable bona fides, in an otherwise dodgy economic environment. It is my opinion that the people within this… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
“In the old days we had lots of disinformation specialists. We called them investigative journalists. They covered stories in depth, gave voice to counterpoints, and tried to ensure that their personal views weren’t in the driving seat.” @Docstockk

“Next time you’re wondering how Salem came to be consumed by hysteria, watch the clips of Posie’s persecution. This is how it happens. This is how fear of witches can overrule reason and unleash the darkest passions of the mob.” @spikedonline

“And what is Parker’s crime? What did this witch do? She said, ‘A woman is an adult human female’. That’s it. Parker, whose real name is Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, is well known for her criticism of the ideology of transgenderism.

The events in Auckland should be a wake-up call for liberals everywhere. We glimpsed the iron fist of authoritarianism that lurks in the velvet glove of ‘Be Kind’. The misogynistic streak in trans extremism is undeniable now. Watch enraged men kicking down metal barriers so that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The Censorship Industrial Complex remains fully funded & active, but this shows that its leaders know they are guilty of violating the First Amendment & are trying to sweep away their tracks. This is a big victory for free speech AND we need many more of them. LFG! 🔥🔥🔥
“Crucially, the agency appeared to remove references to ‘domestic threat actors’ as purveyors of ‘MDM.’ The updated page now refers to foreign actors only, and no longer makes reference to other domestic-facing programs….”

Last June, the advisory board recommended that CISA should work with and provide support to external partners “who identify emergent informational threats,” and find ways to mitigate “false and misleading narratives.”

For years, “disinformation experts” have warned that “malign actors” would weaponize “deep fakes” against their political enemies. But last week saw the first major deep fake campaign in history. It was launched by a leading disinfo expert against Trump.

The people who have taken it upon themselves to spy on and censor their fellow citizens for wrongthink — the hall monitors within the Censorship Industrial Complex — have been warning for years of deep fakes.

Funny, then, that it was one of the leading members of the Censorship… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Higgins’ Bellingcat has been funded by the U.S. government’s National Endowment for Democracy, a widely-acknowledged C.I.A. front group, that is supposed to act nonpartisan, at least in public. 

Watching Higgins use deep fake disinformation to attack his political enemies was a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The individuals who self-selected to secretly censor the American people think they are better than you. They believe that, because they read The New York Times, they are experts in every subject. They are the most dangerous people in America.

We've seen a turning inward of the propaganda efforts the United States carried out worldwide for nearly 100 years. As the war on terrorism was won, its proponents looked for new avenues for propaganda, disinformation, and censorship campaigns.

Then, the seismic upheavals of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The medical profession also affirms substance use disorder. So-called "harm reduction" activists tell addicts that they aren't likely ever going to stop so they should just keep using "safely." It's pathological empathy bordering on Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Millions of people around the world recover from addiction. Only a tiny percentage of addicts get so sick that they end up homeless. They need an intervention, or they will get sick, assaulted, and/or die. Cultists, yes, cultists, are depriving them the medical care they need.

We are actively allowing this because a cult has seized control of city governments and is depriving addicts of the intervention they need to get into treatment and recovery like they do in every civilized nation. We are not a civilized nation.
Listen to the homeless
