  • The Government’s Propaganda of Fear and Fake News

    The Government’s Propaganda of Fear and Fake News

    It is the function of mass agitation to exploit all the grievances, hopes, aspirations, prejudices, fears, and ideals of all the special groups that make up our society, social, religious, economic, racial, political. Stir them up. Set one against the other. Divide and conquer. That’s the way to soften up a democracy. ― J. Edgar […]

  • Divide and Conquer: The Government’s Propaganda of Fear and Fake News

    Divide and Conquer: The Government’s Propaganda of Fear and Fake News

    “Nothing is real,” observed John Lennon, and that’s especially true of politics. Much like the fabricated universe in Peter Weir’s 1998 film The Truman Show, in which a man’s life is the basis for an elaborately staged television show aimed at selling products and procuring ratings, the political scene in the United States has devolved […]

  • Censors Celebrated: Misinformation and Disinformation Down Under

    The heralded arrival of the Internet caused flutters of enthusiasm, streaks of heart-felt hope.  Unregulated, and supposedly all powerful, an information medium never before seen on such scale could be used to liberate mind and spirit.  With almost disconcerting reliability, humankind would coddle and fawn over a technology which would, as Langdon Winner writes, “bring […]

  • China to US: Spreading Disinformation Cannot Inhibit China’s Progress but Will only Discredit US

    China News Service: It’s reported by Reuters that former US President Donald Trump signed a secret executive order in 2019 to authorize the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign aimed at smearing China by creating a special team of operatives who acted covertly such as buying off media outlets and using bogus internet […]

  • Anti-Imperialism in the US Today

    Fidel Castro, who the world recognizes as a historic anti-imperialist figure, repeatedly warned that the main danger to humanity is US imperialism: “There is an enemy that can be called universal, an enemy whose attitude and whose actions…threaten the whole world, bully the whole world, that universal enemy is Yankee imperialism.” He fought to build […]

  • Meet the New Normal, Same as the Old Normal: You Are Still the Enemy Within   

    Today, we are witnessing the nudging (manipulation) of the population to accept a ‘new normal’ based on a climate emergency narrative, restrictions on movement and travel, programmable digital money, ‘pandemic preparedness’ courtesy of the World Health Organization’s tyrannical pandemic treaty, unaccountable AI and synthetic ‘food’. Whether it involves a ‘food transition’, an ‘energy transition’, 15-minute […]

  • Australia’s Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation Bill

    Could we face collective decisions so fundamental that discourse itself buckles under conceptual strain? If so, maybe this is such a time and it would accordingly be wise to map it in the most reliable tradition, which prioritises agreed facts and valid inference from them. This also befits a need to be incisive, given the […]

  • The Censors Down Under: The ACMA Gambit on Misinformation and Disinformation

    In January 2010, the then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, doing what she does best, grasped a platitude and ran with it in launching, of all things, an institution called the Newseum.  “Information freedom,” she declared, “supports the peace and security that provide a foundation for global progress.” The same figure has encouraged the […]

  • Another Act of Terror: How the Media do PR for Biden and Zelensky

    Another Act of Terror:  How the Media do PR for Biden and Zelensky

    The hypocrisy gets starker by the day. The same western media that strains to warn of the dangers of disinformation – at least when it comes to rivals on social media – barely bothers to conceal its own role in purveying disinformation in the Ukraine war. In fact, the propaganda peddled by the media grows […]

  • FBI Make-Work Entrapment Schemes: Creating Criminals in Order to Arrest Them

    FBI Make-Work Entrapment Schemes: Creating Criminals in Order to Arrest Them

    Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. — Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146 We’re not dealing with a government that exists to serve its people, protect their liberties and ensure their happiness. Rather, we are the unfortunate victims of the diabolical machinations […]
