  • Faking It ‘Til We Break It

    “Video showing Maduro allegedly torturing Venezuelan dissidents is going viral, with 15 million views and 81k likes already. The only problem?

As The Guardian noted, […]

  • Jacques Baud and the EU/NATO Censorship Architecture

    If Baud, then we are all potential targets now! Jacques Baud’s case is mind-boggling. A Swiss citizen, a former NATO-, OSCE- and UN-related colleague and author who relies mainly on Western sources, has been sanctioned by the European Union. There is no evidence that he worked with or for Russia. His “crime” is interpretation: offering […]

  • Sanctioning Fever: The United States, European Union, and Free Speech

    At present, there is a pot-calling-the-kettle-black approach being taken by the European Union and the United States regarding the imposition of sanctions upon individuals deemed hostile to free speech.

    How Censorship and Smears Are Chipping Away at Democracy and Freedom

    Do Journalists Protect or Harm Democracy? Almost half (45%) of teens in a recent survey by The News Literacy Project said journalists harm democracy. Only 56% believed reporters value fairness and accuracy. 80% concluded that news content is subjective, and nearly 70% thought press outlets intentionally add bias to their coverage. The cynicism illustrated in […]

  • Democrats’ Digital Dysfunction

    “HAVE A GREAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND, PATRIOTS!!! GOD BLESS THE WORKING PEOPLE WHO MAKE AMERICA GREAT!,” read an August 2025 tweet, capped with three American flags and a photo of its author in a convertible, sunglasses on, peace sign raised. This wasn’t 2016. This wasn’t President Donald Trump. It was California Governor—and presidential hopeful—Gavin Newsom. […]

  • From Manufactured Scandals to AI Misinformation

    FAKE NEWS This section chronicles some of the most pressing examples of disinformation and fake news from the previous two weeks.

  • The Psywar Glossary

    The Psywar Glossary

    Excerpt from the book PsyWar: Enforcing the New World Order. By means of ever more effective methods of mind manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms… elections, parliaments, supreme courts and all the rest… will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of Totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all […]

    The media’s role in peddling disinformation over last week’s violence in Amsterdam just keeps getting darker. Owen Jones has interviewed a Dutch woman who shot the footage used by major outlets – from Sky News and the BBC to the Guardian and New York Times – to suggest that locals in Amsterdam carried out “antisemitic […]

  • Disinformation Isn’t the Problem: Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

    Disinformation Isn’t the Problem: Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

    What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a […]

    Technofascism: The Government Pressured Tech Companies to Censor Users

    Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has finally admitted what we knew all along: Facebook conspired with the government to censor individuals expressing “disapproved” views about the COVID-19 pandemic. Zuckerberg’s confession comes in the wake of a series of court rulings that turn a blind eye to the government’s technofascism. In a 2-1 decision in Children’s […]
