Will they be able to afford the prescribed dose of medicine or will they have to cut their pills in half to stretch out their medicine supplies?

Analyzing Information in the Age of Disinformation

by Jon Rappoport

August 10, 2017

My “ordeal by fire” came in 1987, while I was writing my first book, AIDS INC.

I had dozens of sources telling me contradictory stories about HIV, what HIV really was and wasn’t; and that was just the beginning of the AIDS information/opinion flooding in from all quarters.

Suite de notre affaire de la semaine : je rappelle que dès le 4 aout, je corrigeais comme indiqué dans ce billet un des dessins de notre analyse des propagandes au Venezuela, pour qu’il n’y ait aucune de polémique indue, et l’indiquait bien le lendemain sur le fil du tweet de Rudy Reichtadt (qui n’a apporté aucune information de ceci à ses lecteurs) :

Comme il y a de plus en plus de « chasses aux sorcières » qui se généralisent sur le web (comme nous l’avons vu ici), et d’entorses importantes aux règles déontologiques du journalisme (surtout quand elles viennent de grands médias), j’aimerais entamer une réflexion sur un projet à part, de réflexion sur le suivi de l’intégrité du travail des journalistes(puisqu’ils refusent de le faire eux-mêmes, ce serait bien que le public le fasse à leur place…).

Polly Tommey, producer of the famous documentary, Vaxxed, has been banned from Australia. If that sounds quite insane—it is.

Vaxxed has been screening across the world. It is an explosive revelation about egregious fraud at the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

At a July 19 meeting in the situation room with his military advisers, President Donald Trump reportedly said he wanted to fire the commander of US forces in Afghanistan, General John Nicholson. He was dissatisfied with him because he was not winning the war and, officials said, Trump openly questioned the quality of the advice he was receiving.

California vote-fraud scandal blows up

By Jon Rappoport

The watchdog group, Judicial Watch, is threatening to file a lawsuit if the state government of California doesn’t clean up its vast voting mess.

What mess?

Judicial Watch: “…public records obtained…show 11 California counties have more registered voters than voting-age citizens.”

What??

There’s more.

Webster’s dictionary defines disinformation as: “false information deliberately and often covertly spread (as by the planting of rumors) in order to influence public opinion or obscure the truth.” For a fascinating example of disinformation, mainstream-media style, consider this story in Politico Magazine, How the CIA Came to Doubt the Official Story of JFK’s Murder by Philip Shenon and Larry J. Sabato.

My interview with former CBS star reporter: not fake news

I’m reprinting an excerpt from an interview I did, several years ago, with former CBS investigative reporter, Sharyl Attkisson.

It’s a reminder about the difference between fake and real news, and about who the major purveyors of fake news are.

It also reveals a familiar strategy major news outlets deploy, when they happen to publish a true story and then realize its explosive implications: they shut down all further investigation. They close the book.

In the second and last part of Banker Wars, we examine how President Roosevelt lied America into the Second World War. From dismantling the Neutrality Act and goading the Japanese into the attack on Pearl Harbor, to the authoritarian imposition of forced conscription and rationing of food and other essential goods, Roosevelt established the modern precedent of the imperial presidency. He unleashed the FBI to hound and prosecute antiwar activists and conscientious objectors to his war, the deadliest of the 20th century.

Individual power and ethics: the conversation that never was

August 7, 2017

It’s no accident that the concept of individual power is surrounded by clouds of timidity and fear and cultural resentment.

People are warned that touching it produces a substantial electric shock.

“Me? Individual power? I never said I was in favor of it. Great individual power? Don’t pin that on me. Who’s accusing me? I’ll sue them! I’m for humility in all things.”

Rex Tillerson, President Trump’s secretary of state, has threatened regime change in Venezuela. The former Exxon CEO’s remark coincides with the arrest of Leopoldo López and Antonio Ledezma, two Venezuelan opposition leaders who were under house arrest and subsequently sent to prison by the government of Nicolás Maduro.

Collectivist mind control: “save the planet”

by Jon Rappoport

August 6, 2017

“The planet wouldn’t need saving if willing prosecutors had gone after high-level criminals (corporate, banking, war-mongering) with hammer and tongs. Now, the very people who escaped such prosecution have emerged as the leaders of the ‘save the planet’ movement. That’s called a clue.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

The word “collectivism” sounds old-fashioned today. It’s supposed to.

The word “collectivism” sounds old-fashioned today. It’s supposed to.

Usually, the phrase “kill the messenger” is a bit of overwrought hyperbole.

But that was not the case late last month when House Republicans almost did just that. The House considered amendments to a spending bill that could have gutted that very inconvenient messenger, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

What is The Matrix?

August 5, 2017

Point one: The basic fact to remember about the first Matrix film was that a hero had to be chosen. ONE MAN. A person who would function beyond the rules of the space-time continuum.

Not a group. Not a committee.

Real power would accrue to an individual.

Point two: in real life, the reason the real Matrix endures is that there is an audience for it.

Art is dangerous to authorities

by Jon Rappoport

In 1891, Oscar Wilde wrote: “Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. There lies its immense value. For what it seeks is to disturb monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.”

Authority wants limited perception.

It wants “things as they are” to rule the day.

It wants the fire of creative exploration to go out and turn to ashes.
