Politics Girl, like a lot of her fellow leftists, is now reciting utter denialism nonsense about the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Like many of them, she frames the assassin as a "right-winger" as opposed to the reality that we now know including Antifa type messages on his bullets. Most ridiculous of all, Politics Girl explains away those Antifa messages as having been put there by the company that manufactured those bullets. Yeah... right!
I did some digging. Here’s the deal.

The early story had hints that it was anti-trans engravings.
This was “met” online by people (anti-Kirk forces, essentially) saying the alleged engraving, TRN, is nothing more than the manufacturer’s stamp.
The manufacturer in question is from Türkiye - Turin: https://turanammo.com/products/
However, a quick perusal of their products doesn’t show any rounds in the alleged .30-06 caliber.
This is nothing more than a straw man. She should be called out for disinformation or bad fact checking etc.
Leftists, in total and ridiculous denial.

The Art of Hiding Truth in Plain Sight: A Case Study in Modern Disinformation
By the Hermit
In the digital age, truth doesn’t need to be denied—it simply needs to be buried. As Sherlock Holmes once noted, the best place to hide a leaf is in a forest. That’s the guiding principle behind one of the most subtle and dangerous forms of disinformation used today: flooding the information space not with silence, but with noise.
Rather than confronting a damaging truth directly, a more effective tactic is to release a false but similar story just ahead of the real one. The false version is often filled with just enough flaws to be easily discredited. Once it is debunked, the public and the media are primed to dismiss anything resembling it—real or not. By the time the actual story emerges, it’s been tainted by association. It’s just “more of the same,” easily cast aside or labeled a conspiracy theory.
This tactic isn’t new, but it’s become far more potent in the modern era where the speed of digital communication outpaces reflection, and where few have the time or tools to verify the authenticity of every claim. In such an environment, the goal of disinformation isn’t necessarily to convince people of a lie—it’s to create doubt so pervasive that no one knows what to believe.
A clear case study is the controversy surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop. When the story first broke in October 2020, it was met with immediate accusations of being Russian disinformation. A letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials claimed the laptop had “all the classic earmarks” of a foreign intelligence operation. Major social media platforms suppressed the story, citing concerns over foreign interference. Only much later, after the damage was done and the political consequences had passed, did mainstream outlets confirm the laptop’s authenticity. But by then, public trust had already fractured. Each side of the political spectrum had chosen their truth.
This is the core strategy: flood the field with noise, attach disreputable fingerprints to the truth, and make it impossible for the average person to separate fact from fiction. The result is not clarity or consensus, but confusion and disengagement.
Why does this tactic work so well? For one, people are overwhelmed. The average citizen is bombarded daily with conflicting reports, expert opinions, breaking headlines, and emotionally charged commentary. With so much incoming data, the mental bandwidth to verify or question each story simply doesn’t exist. Second, the human brain is wired for bias. If a story confirms what we already believe, we accept it more readily. If it challenges our worldview, we’re more likely to reject it out of hand. Lastly, in a world where truth is constantly disputed, many grow weary of trying to figure it out at all. They tune out. They give up.
And that, ultimately, is the point. Disinformation doesn’t have to fool everyone. It only has to confuse enough people long enough to blunt the impact of the truth. It works best when used by those with institutional power—governments, intelligence agencies, media conglomerates—because they not only have access to platforms, but credibility that can shape initial narratives before facts are verified.
What’s most insidious about this tactic is that it’s hidden in plain sight. Stories come and go. Facts get buried under the next breaking headline. Retractions are whispered, if printed at all. The truth becomes something to be discovered by individuals willing to dig, not something served to the public by institutions once trusted to do that job.
So what can be done? The first step is awareness. Understanding that this tactic exists is itself a form of defense. Waiting for the dust to settle before forming judgments, seeking alternative sources of information across the spectrum, and asking the simplest question—“Who benefits from this?”—can help us cut through the fog.
In a world of manipulated narratives, the truth may not be hidden behind locked doors or in secret files. It may be right in front of us, obscured by a forest of carefully planted lies. Finding it takes effort—but it’s an effort worth making.
There are those who plot against our Great President Trump.
One way they do it is to slander Trump supporters.
These people are stupid.
Mind control will never be what they thought it would be.
LOL! Yeah, I can see a judge ruling that it is libelous to link to the plaintiff's own posts. Oh, how can you ever forgive me for quoting you word for word?
I see your lies about my posts.
But I don’t see posts I made, only your lies.
Is this an example of such SLANDER?
Why would you resort to lies about me?
What does this tell us about your credibility?
You have nothing!
