BRILLIANT ARTICLE. MUST READ.

Well, not so much for the brilliance, but for the concise listing of the techniques.

Interesting to realize that almost everything our government says to us is dishonest, misleading, disinformation, or an outright lie.

Only the most innocous details are truthful. If we are supposed to be their masters, and almost everything they do is filled with deceit, that implies some very bad things.

For example, projecting your own movement as mainstream, and your opponent's as fringe.

This is done in spades in catastrophic anthropogenic climate alarmism. The "97%" of scientists or whatever, came from a self-selected survey and even then misrepresented what they stood for. Most scientists agree with AGW, but there is little agreement on the extent so far (trivial) or in the future (not much) or effects (benign). But all alarmist articles with ridicuous speculation like "low sea ice causes blocking" are said to belong to the 97% consensus.

I got only partway through it when I read the following;
“The goal was not to destroy the truth, but to hide it in plain sight.”

Instantly, pictures of slums popped in my head.

The cities dominated by decades of democrat machine politics lie in ruins.

There it is.

This is an excellent article. The author understands the propaganda and disinformation processes and how they work.

EVERY CONSERVATIVE NEEDS TO READ THIS! EVERY AMERICAN NEEDS TO READ THIS!

The weapons of lies can easily be disarmed through knowledge and intelligence.
