“We absolutely must restore our news sources to those who actually report facts.”

Fresh “Notable” from the Forbidden City:

‘’Just posted a new thread called Information Warfare, 21 pages of resource information including archives on the Alabama Election Meddling Digg. (What a relief–I linked the pages and was afraid someone would start posting before I was done.)

This is the intro.’’

“Muh Russia” Narrative is fake, phony, false!

Welcome to Information Warfare

“We are the News”

Information warfare takes many forms. It uses diverse techniques to change the perceptions, beliefs, and values of large groups. Our focus here is on how the Deep State–the MSM, political parties and other powerful entites–are currently using disinformation to control the national narrative and to defeat patriots’ efforts to restore the Republic.’’’ The DS employs the MSM–which they control–to promote false narratives that deliberately de-value, deny, or distort the truth in order to maintain their power over others. Specifically, they seek to

* define the Overton Window (thus determining the range of acceptable ideas appropriate for public discussion)

* constrain the manner in which ideas are expressed (e.g., yes to “inclusive” political correctness and no to “hate speech”)

* demonize anyone who disagrees with their POV (weakening the opposition via division-fagging on a grand scale)

To do all this, they need a Big Lie around which to rally.

And the Big Lie right now is that the ideas they call “right-wing” are not just outdated but outright evil. This is the exact opposite of the truth–which is why it must be pushed so hard using every trick in the book: because as soon as they let up, people will start to wake up. And they can’t have that.

The “Muh Russia” story brings in a right-wing bogeyman (Putin) who is conveniently far away (so we can’t really check him out). It then links POTUS and the patriots to Putin/Russia in every way possible, using our history of conflict as a scare tactic. We are told again and again that Russia is capable of undermining our nation by widespread election fuckery involving social media.

“Muh Russia” shows up pretty much everywhere nowadays: in anti-Q articles, in efforts to de-platform patriot social media accounts, in charges that POTUS is a Russian agent, and in an Alabama Senate race in which the Republican candidate suffered defeat in part because of a social media campaigned run by Dem operatives to suggest he was in cahoots with the Ruskies.

To counter a Big Lie like this, we need both an understanding of what makes the Lie “stick” and how we can help people break free of it. So knowing the techniques used to deceive people is an important first step. But so is understanding why these techniques work.

Anons often say “I don’t understand why normies are so hard to red-pill.” Well, there are reasons. And many of them have to do with the desire of individuals to be in synch with the larger culture. This is normal and natural. But when the larger culture is sick, it puts individuals in a bind. Whatever they choose, they feel conflicted. And that makes them vulnerable to manipulation.

Healing the culture is done with truth–digging for it, disseminating it, and educating people how to find it for themselves.

Truth is the greatest weapon in information warfare.

It is also our stock in trade at QResearch. This is why Q has told us “You are the news.”

There has never been and never will be a news source that just presents facts!

If it bleeds it leads!
If it’s sensational it’s presentational!

The goal is to sell the newspapers snd/or make you listen or watch the news shows. The more obnoxious the more you are likely to watch. Nowhere is reporting facts a priority!

Just the act of reporting even if just text is a form of bias. It’s a enormously powerful form of bias. If you don’t report it, did it happen?

And no I am not saying the government should be the news source!

Develop filters! Realize the primary motivation! Be skeptical! When the pompous newsitutes preen & prance like Acosta trying to claim some lofty purpose or moral high ground. Laugh at them! They’re just entertainers who can’t sing, dance, or do comedy (Well not deliberately!). They can do a little drama, enough to fake knowledgeable concern & empathy on TV. They’re all frauds!
