Atleast 2 old and 2 new propagandas on an average PTI smt circulates everyday but it mostly stays within their own bubble. Consider it their daily dose of motivation to stay loyal and true to the cause. It's the content overall that is being shared online that needs a fact-check. Despite knowing he's a paid actor, i get emotional everytime bcz his expression are damn convincing and so does this woman whos really worried about her mother (her maid) or can't even buy vegetable. I mean it's impossible to keep track of all the content PTI produces everyday.

Every time i tweet, instead of questioning their leaders, Insafi starts calling me a Patwari, Jiyala, tout etc because they have no details about my past. PTI smt ran malicious/abusive campaigns against highly respected Journos/others who had their info available for public. Those campaigns were to discredit each and every influential person PTI or it's handlers had nothing to blackmail with or they were not up for sale. Name one person PTI accused of a wrongdoing and then proved it's accusation? I can provide over 30 names who PTI wrongly accused.

Believe it or not but political propaganda and deliberate dissemination of exaggerated & fabricated news is one the main reasons why we are not progressing. It has weakened our socialization process, greatly damaged media freedom and now pushing us into conflict and violence. "War against Propaganda & lies."
Propaganda & Misinformation are our worst enemies and we've been taking them lightly, but not anymore.
In this thread we'll try and identify atleast 1 Propagandaist individual as well as groups, everyday. @TwitterSafety @RSF_inter @reportpemra

Most creative propaganda campaign by PTI overseas. It's a Russian propaganda technique called "Firehose of Falsehood". For this type of propaganda to work, you need minimum 5 participants. It's rapid and so persuasive that you can't help but react to it. 3 overseas PTI supporters threw their passports in a BBQ grill to record their protest against Imran's ouster.

Ladlove between IK and Lord.

After joining mainstream politics, Imran was issued his first contempt notice on July 31st 2013 for criticizing superior judiciary. "Sharamnaak" was the word he used for the judge of SC. Case was dropped a month later as IK in his statement said that the word "Shameful" was used for the ROs and not the Judges. Even tho he lied but that was the first relief IK was given from courts.

(on 19 June 2012 PM Yousuf Raza Gillani was disqualified on contempt chgs)

Oh you think this is Waqas's stellar work? You'd be surprised to read their articles about Qandeel Baloch right before she was murdered. It was the "stellar" work and organized campaign on social media which led to events that became reason for her murder. ImageImageImageImage Just a few days after this interview was aired, She became a target of intense online abuse and character assassination campaigns by PTI smt and media also played an important role.

War against Propaganda and lies (Part 3)

PTI theatrics have started hurting Pakistan's image globally?

An exposè thread. I came across this a few hours ago, it was quite shocking for me that Human Rights has taken notice of 1 arrest and even dedicated an entire unit to look into it further. Tweeting "credible reports" and asking for evidence and reliable news via whatsapp is strange from HRW.

Over 27,000 political arrests in PTI led hybrid-regime and nothing happened but Govt arrested 1 PTI propagandist for inciting mutiny with proper planning to destabilize the country and Journalists across world are worried about Pakistan?
Nah, I'm not buying this BS. I posted this thread on August 12th, unfortunately only one company owned by a CIA veteran from my thread made it to the mainstream news. These companies work as PTI foreign agents and they engage just 1 journalist from a credible newspaper and that's it.

Hybrid-regime and proprietors had a special routine for "vip" pol prisoners in 2017-18. Strip checking was also a part of this degrading and inhumane routine.
Ref: Read HR commission report 2019-20 and freedom observer report 2021-22.

A list of Illegal political detention: Pol prisoners w/o being sentenced;

1)Shahid Khaqan was kept in a death cell with solitary confinement from July 18th 2019 to February 26th 2020 under sec 9 of NAB "abuse of power" but to portray him a corrupt individual in media and public he was arrested under sec 18E / 24A.

Gill: Faisal sb neechain hain?
Police: Nahi
Gill: ___________
Police: Uss ka phir wo junior ho ga.
Gill: Bus iss liye _______ kisi aik ko upar bhaij dein. Mein unn se baat kar lon ga.
Police: Mumbles
Gill: haan samajh gya mein.

That's all i could understand from this convo. Faisal is Fawad Ch's brother and Gill's lawyer.

A few imp things that i noticed,
1) More than 1 reporters asked Gill if he was tortured, he never replied.
2) He seems fine but whenever his lawyers or media asks something, he starts choking, it's like he doesn't want to talk.

I have got a better and interesting idea, how about we solve a few cases together?
Let's start with the cases IK has mentioned in his speech but since i called IK a liar so it's important to prove that he is lying or i must apologize.

1) How to prove whether IK is lying or not? To prove Imran Khan a liar is an easiest thing since everything he says is a Lie, in this case "Even in 2008 they used to tell me about Nawaz's corruption" Now watch this video.
1) IK at NY views on Military 2008
2) IK defending Nawaz like a "patwari".

The way i see it, IK today confirmed and confessed that it goes back to 2008. He said "even in 2008" ISI used to tell me corruption stories.
Now according to Imran for 10 years (2008 to 2018) hes been meeting ISI so my question is "in which capacity?" Now that he confessed, allow me to share a few more details, such as;
Imran while sharing stories of 2015-16, he subtly added "even in 2008" which is a complete lie.
In 2008 IK was willing to do anything and actually did a few things to earn their trust.

Ministry decided to place him on ECL after he left. At 6PM Lawyer left Pakistan in a private jet. He ran away because he got the news first, the question is how? The answer is "a leak"👇🏻 it's time govt.
Also, not *Today. He left 2 days ago.

How about a short thread on fascism?

Not only opp were sent to jail and kept in death cells PTI government demolished their properties and businesses declaring the land illegal, without even giving a chance to provide documents or taking the case in courts? No cases only vibes. From arresting opps families including children to imposing a complete ban on their coverage. Threatening an entire party's leadership and workers and then arresting them to show that these are not just empty threats. You took fascism to a whole new level.

We'll discuss "Propaganda techniques and it's faces" in today's thread.

Did you know there are over 50 types of propagandas?
In simple words dupe someone into believing that there's only/one way to look at the issue, making something/someone look bad without telling a lie. Here's an example;
Pic 1: This person shared an image from 2014, she didn't mention any date or event but it was generally conceived as Azadi March 2022 picture.
(She is not the original source as picture was already shared by many others)

Pic 2: Original photo with the news.

All those abusing @ICT_Police relax people, Shehbaz Gill is in Punjab police custody and not federal. Here's the guy incharge @ColhashimDogar not to mention he said that Shehbaz Gill was neither stripped nor tortured. Basically called IK a liar, Indirectly. Fawad Chaudhary and Hammad Azhar called Shahid Saleem (IG prisons) on Imran Khan's directions and "ordered" to move Shahbaz Gil to the hospital of his choice. IG replied, "of his choice" is a big no and moving him to the hospital is even bigger no also i'm not your servant.
