We can help fight the disinformation about the DC Rally By Checking Google to see if images or content are old or out of context.

We don’t know when the photo linked in the tweet below was taken showing what is claimed to be WV capitol flag flying upside down. Unless someone I trust says they took it, I can't really believe it isn't just psyop to trigger defensive unrest.

I believe we’re hitting the spin zone. I’ve already seen a picture of crowds that another Tweeter insists was from a 2018 Stop The Steal rally. It will be almost impossible to know what’s real as the MSM will try to fan panic.

I almost posted the crowd picture before I discovered the tweeted claim that it's not a current picture. But I didn't know if THAT was disinformation meant to suppress photos of crowd size.

I've since confirmed through Google Image search that it was indeed taken in 2018. 

I encourage all patriots exercise caution when posting this kind of content. I don't want the MSM/Social Media machine to use us to help fan panic/unrest by sharing psyop content.

You may use Google Image search to see if photos have been posted in previous years (repurposed for this protest). 

If  you're not sure of the source, posting that the source is unknown above the image/link can help hamstring the MSM/Social Media attempts to confuse the public.

I'll put the link to Google Image search below. Click on the picture of the Camera and paste the URL to see if the image comes from a source other than stated.

Here's the thread with the unverified claim that the WV flag is currently flying upside down, which turned out to have been taken in 2018.

At the DC Rally now. We are back in hotels after a great lineup of speakers in the rain. Patriots are enjoying the sights!

They’ll show some folks showing up before the big rally and say that’s all that showed up.

That Google will distort any record of this is a given.

I don’t buy the excuse from the State that the flag was erronously hoisted upside down.

And I found this tweet with just a random word search (trying to see if there was an old photo being used and if twitter “fact checked” it or not).

You can also do reverse image searches on a number of sites (where you find a photo, upload it, and then the search engine will tell you where else that photo can be found online.
