The Axelrod/Atlantic conference on “Disinformation and the erosion of democracy” held at the University of Chicago earlier this month included a rogue’s gallery of purveyors of disinformation. We covered the conference in some detail as renegade students at the Chicago Thinker “staged a media regime takedown,” as the editors put it.

My hatred for this man has only grown since he left office. He is The Destructor, the bringer of doom. All of which he will ride out at his Martha's Vineyard estate, waiting for the oceans to rise.
Will the deep state create WWIII to stay in power?
Maybe they would. It would also result in a population decrease ... which would make TPTB happy and even ease their global warming worries (if in fact they really do believe their own BS).
I dont think Obama is smart enough, but he’s very ideological and he has been the chosen bearer of the leftist message for decades, changing from Muslim hippie child to foreign student to African American (which he wasn’t, by any standard), depending on what would benefit him most. He’s a rootless person.
Obama is not behind it, but he’s always been good at lending his face (and his supposed ethnic identity) to the highest bidder.
I have not the tiniest doubt that they will if they can.
They desperately want to get us into a war with Russia.
They need to do this before the off-year elections in November.
Could you imagine Stalin or Mau Tse-ting standing down?
Here’s a list of disinformation.

If something isn’t right, “It’s Trump’s fault!”
It was not the Democrats who have been the racists ever since the 1860s, it’s the Republicans. Something about Republicans changed, but we can’t quite say what that was.
Republicans are the cause of urban crime all across the country, even though Democrats have been in control of most major cities for decades
More Government spending, or “Investing” will solve any problem.
The Second Amendment is about hunting. It’s not about the “security of a free State”. If it’s written somewhere in cursive, it’s racist.
The US Constitution needs to be interpreted in the context of today because it was written by white slaveowners.

The Obama White House was the most transparent administration of all time

If a black man kills another black man in the city, we don’t need to “say his name“
If “whatever” is not already taxed, it needs to be regulated
NPR is unbiased and should get Federal funding.
White people are oppressors.
An unorganized mass of cells only becomes a human after it is born. Even then, there’s some debate because “it’s my body, it’s my choice!“
Joe Biden got involved in politics because of the environmental impact of a new highway in Delaware. Joe Biden got involved in politics because of apartheid in South Africa. Oddly, Joe Biden got involved in politics because he thought politicians were unscrupulous. All of this is true, simultaneously.
Transgender “women” can compete with normal women. They have no inherent advantage. If you think they do, you have tranny-phobia.
