Obama Warns About the 'Raw Sewage' of Disinformation -- Ignores Democrats' Own Garbage
townhall.com ^ | 1/26/2023 | Larry Elder

In the wake of the "Twitter Files," let's revisit former President Barack Obama's warning last April about the spread of misinformation: "You just have to flood a country's public square with enough raw sewage. You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe."

Does the "raw sewage" include when Obama falsely said, "The Cambridge police acted stupidly"; that "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon"; and that racism in America is "still part of our DNA that's passed on"?

Does raw sewage include the part in Obama's speech before the United Nations when he invoked the lie of Ferguson; and when Obama embraced Black Lives Matter, a group founded upon the lie that the police engage in systemic racism against blacks? BLM, after the death of George Floyd, encouraged four months of deadly, violent protests even though the lead prosecutor, a black man, said in his opening statement that neither the police nor the Minneapolis police in general were on trial. He never argued that the officer defendant treated Floyd unlawfully due to Floyd's race, and the officer was never charged with a hate crime.

Thanks Larry. O'bamski needs to learn(yeah right?!) that one persons sewage is another persons potable water and vice versa. Just who is the arbiter of what and what isn't sewage. Most folks think anything you spew is sewage so there is that. Back to Martha's Vineyard with you.

If Obama kept his mouth shut there would be far less raw sewage.

Obama spilled the sewage of the Russia hoax into the town square. Russia was a massive government led disinformation campaign.

Did they leave out his lies to the world about Benghazi?

The entire discussion of disinformation is unAmerican.

All according to plan. They’re losing control over social media, especially with meta’s latest decision.

Full damage control mode now to maintain the narrative.

The problem with information influencing is that the tide of truth never becomes smaller. It exponentially grows in size and scope. It requires an ever growing expenditure of resources to sustain it. Eventually the dam will break. The public will be less than politely displeased about the disinformation management bureaucrats.

Truth is simple, uncomplicated, and free of cost. Controlling a narrative other than the truth is chaotic, complex, and very expensive. The truth becomes an existential threat to those that fostered the notion that information can be controlled and manipulated.

“If you like your plan, you will be able to keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor”.
“Obama (Bristol, Va., June 5): In an Obama administration, we’ll lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year. “

To him disinformation is saying “you will probably be happier if you DON’T cut off your breasts.”

Projection....it's what they do best

Without "truth"...it's all they have/know.

...but no arguing it's success.

Because with weak opposition, and their control over the institutions of media/academia/other...they've been able to create this decadent culture of brain-fornicated 'bots to buy whatever bullshyte they dish out.

...projection is/was just a tool...but a very effective one(for them).

It’s a big country. Lots of people say lots of things. Some are true and some are not. Either way, it’s none of the government’s dam business.
