🧵For decades UN/NGOs relied on what @NGOmonitor calls the “Halo Effect”—their reports accepted as gospel. Now, when flaws are exposed, they demand we ignore definitions, evidence & contradictions.

Never question the UN or big NGOs is the unspoken rule. The “Halo Effect,” the aura of credibility surrounding these organizations—means that their findings were virtually immune to fact-checking and often amplified by the media.

Oct 7 shattered the old rule of blind trust. Now journalists, researchers, technologists & citizens are dissecting UN/NGO claims with open-source data. The “Halo Effect” is cracking—exposing who wrote the reports, how data is twisted, what was ignored, & the agendas behind it.

The latest example: IPC’s “famine” declaration in Gaza City. Their own rules require evidence of mortality, malnutrition & lack of food access. Instead, they sidestepped standards, cherry-picked data & used shaky methods. The authors, anything but neutral.

@EFischberger exposed a key IPC author openly supporting terror targeting Israelis. @HillelNeuer showed he shares IRGC propaganda, pushes anti-US conspiracies & even excused Iran’s killing of 176 civilians. A nutcase who backs the Houthis & Iran’s regime.

@EFischberger made it all the way to the UN. The U.S. envoy slammed the IPC “famine” report and its author: “One of its key authors has a long record of bias against Israel, including justifying Houthi terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians.”

Two days ago, MFA DG Eden Bar Tal demanded the IPC retract its Gaza report. He slammed it as forged: data was manipulated, contradictory evidence hidden, rules broken—all to push Hamas’ fake starvation narrative. “The report was fabricated for a purpose,” he said.

The Halo Effect lets groups like the IPC push reports unquestioned. Once scrutiny hits, it’s clear: they’re redefining terms like “genocide,” ignoring evidence, and dressing propaganda as science—expecting the world to accept their manipulated conclusions as gospel.

One example: someone claiming to have helped write IPC standards argued with me on X. He called my critique “dis/misinformation.” I responded with a full thread showing the IPC guide’s standards were ignored, cherry-picked, and even fabricated.

He tried to dismiss the concerns, claiming I hadn’t read the manual and that he helped write it. I flagged the key issue: no evidence of people dying of starvation, required to declare famine. He pointed to another version, same rule repeated, he tried to ignore the core problem

And then it got interesting. When he could no longer deny the requirement, he wanted me to “forget the definition of famine.”

The expectation is clear: we must ignore established definitions, forget the meaning of the word.

Throughout the conversation, he never addressed a single substantive point on the report’s many methodological issues. Instead, he kept repeating variations of:

“You don’t understand how it works.”

“Declaring famine is complicated.”

“I helped write the standards.”

When I flagged more issues he told me to Ignore the evidence! "If you question this, you’ll be walking into a trap.” A supposed author of global famine standards telling people to forget definitions & dismiss evidence.

The UN wants us to ignore facts. UNICEF Exec. Dir. Catherine Russell said “It’s kind of obscene… arguing about whether the methodology works. We know children are dying… I am tired of a discussion about… are we giving the right information or not?”

The expectation is clear, no one should ever question theses organizations. Rather than addressing the flaws, everyone—from those who establish the standards to top UN officials—wants us to forget definitions, ignore evidence, & accept their conclusions.

Bad data drives bad policy, fuels manipulated narratives, & erodes trust. Many are now exposing the lies: who wrote the report, how data was twisted, & which agendas it serves. The Halo Effect is crumbling—accuracy and credibility matter
