Countering Disinformation Is A Major Challenge But Nothing New
When a plan is working well and you are skimming off the profits, if you are a gangster (bankster), the one thing you do not want is another doing what you are doing.
Ursula von der Leyen has once more been "selected" as the European Commission President, In January, she declared:
"misinformation and disinformation" are greater threats to the global business community than war and climate change.
Disinformation is purposefully promoted to deceive and indoctrinate recipients, who then repeat what they have been taught, or have accepted as true, not realizing that they are misinformed and are now purveyors of misformation.
The difference between the two:
- Disinformation is designed to deceive;
- Misinformation is passed on by the deceived.
Misinformation can also be an unwittingly incorrect interpretation of events, or what has been heard or read, accepted as true, then passed off as opinion, expert or otherwise, by the opinionated.
The book of Proverbs instructs us:
- A fool takes no pleasure in understanding but only in expressing opinions. (Proverbs 18:2)
Flat
Flat-earth believer Eric Dubay is frustrated by the intransigence of those who refuse to agree with him.
Flat-earthers unfortunately argue that the Earth is flat and not a globe because much evidence points to the planet being stationary and not spinning 1040 mph at the equator.
Evidence is defined by Webster Merriam Dictionary as:
An outward sign, or:
Something that furnishes proof.
The cogency of evidence that compels acceptance by the mind of a truth or a fact.
People have a tendency to either believe what they want to believe or prevaricate; not knowing what they want to believe (ie. accept as true); especially, if there is insufficient evidence to convince them one way or the other and they have no particular bias in a matter.
On the other hand, many are prepared to form an opinion based upon insufficient or inconclusive evidence, because it fits their cultivated bias or personal preference, if not eliciting a conditioned response.
A case in point
The New York Post, presenting conflicting information, published a Schoen Cooperman Research poll which only had 51% of those polled saying that Donald Trump won the first debate of the 2024 Presidential Elections.
From this we could conclude that the others thought Joe Biden was as sharp as a tack and did not show any signs of dementia.
However, of those polled, only 23% thought Biden won the debate and, presumably, in their view demonstrated a sharp intellect, poise and acumen, with no sign of dementia.
The 14% who saw the debate as a draw, and the 12% not sure who won, may have thought that both Trump and Biden were brilliant; the reason for their inability to identify a winner.
What are we to conclude about the respondents to the poll?
They had penetrating insight?
They are deluded?
They didn’t watch the debate?
Or should we seek to understand why the poll produced such seemingly incoherent results?
Clearly the pResident Biden has dementia, is not sure of his facts, utters nonsense, mumbles and is unfit to be recognized as the President of the United States of America.
Maybe the poll was fabricated disinformation and wasn't really conducted at all.
Intriguing statement at MSN regarding who is running the USA:
If Biden stays in, it's for the same reason he decided to run again: He and the oligarchy believe he has a much better chance of beating former President Trump than Vice President Harris does.
Political insider and savvy commentator Roger Stone has his money on Big Mike (aka Michelle Obama) taking over from Biden as the 2024 Democrat presidential nominee. Expectations are that this will occur after Joe Biden has secured nomination at the DNC convention.
Scam
Shock! Horror! Scam exposed.
Chris Morrison writing about global warming at The Daily Sceptic states:
The world of climate science is in shock following extraordinary findings from a team of high-powered NASA scientists that suggest most of the recent global temperature increases are due to the introduction of draconian fuel shipping regulations designed to help prevent global warming.
Not that the global warming scam hasn't been exposed before. A British court identified eleven inaccuracies in Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth. Nevertheless, presumably to save his own career, the judge ruled that the film was suitable for screening in schools.
Harry Fuller says that this was probably part of the planning all along. Controversy is often all that is needed to garner public interest and increase viewership of films.

"Sound of Freedom" unexpectedly dominated the summer box office after receiving criticism.
Crops
Reuters reports that from the Black Sea to the US Midwest, extreme weather threatens crop output.
Overlooked are the abnormal heat waves that swept over the USA with record extreme temperatures and caused the Dust Bowl years (1934-36), when crops failed during the Great Depression. Hundreds of thousands of people in the Midwest were left homeless and starving.
Science Daily reports:
The unusually hot summers of 1934/36 broke heat records that still stand today.
This information must not be taught in kindergartens, schools or universities, nor publicly made known. Difficult questions are not tolerated. Climate skepticism is not permitted. Neither is watching Dane Wiggington's The Dimming.
False Flags
Immanuel Pastreich put his hat in the ring to run for president of the USA in 2020. Published at Global Research, he says:
Two common themes among conservatives are that attacks on minorities, and major mass shootings, are fake, false flag operations, and that climate change is a fraud used for the interests of the rich and powerful.
Pastreich mentions the Sandy Hook murder/suicide for which Alex Jones was ordered to pay $billion+ in damages to the victim’s families. Many saw this as a sideshow and were wondering how events would play out.
From Wikipedia:
Pieczenik has made several appearances on InfoWars. He also claimed that the September 11 Attacks and the Sandy Hook Shooting were false flag operations.
For Pieczenik to have made these claims, with the intel that he has, it is unwise to dismiss them. There is a larger play at stake than the public realizes.
A special military operations psychiatrist and Deputy Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Pieczenik categorically stated that Sandy Hook was a false flag.
Jones
The way Alex Jones has aged since Biden has become the pResident suggests that he has been under massive psychological pressure.
Alex Jones appears to have legitimately been in a fight for the survival of his company. There were rumors that he had no option but to go through the ringer as part of a secret deal.
As much as one wants to believe that Alex Jones is not controlled by a certain faction, the fact that Hillary Clinton mentioned his Sandy Hook claim in 2016, leaves one wondering if there is something being missed.
Jones could have sued the Southern Poverty Center over their publication of scurrilous details concerning his wife, his own affairs and his personal jealousy, if not true.
Sorting out disinformation from misinformation is not always easy, especially when many variables are at play.
We care. We share.
