UN Chief On COVID-19 and Misinformation
U.N. Chief via Youtube ^ | 04/14/20 | António Guterres

Posted on 04/16/2020 6:53:47 AM PDT by Enlightened1

António Guterres (UN Secretary-General) video message on COVID-19 and misinformation.

As the world fights the deadly COVID-19 pandemic – the most challenging crisis we have faced since the Second World War – we are also seeing another epidemic -- a dangerous epidemic of misinformation.   Around the world, people are scared. They want to know what to do and where to turn for advice. This is a time for science and solidarity. Yet the global ‘misinfo-demic’ is spreading.

Harmful health advice and snake-oil solutions are proliferating. Falsehoods are filling the airwaves. Wild conspiracy theories are infecting the Internet. Hatred is going viral, stigmatizing and vilifying people and groups. The world must unite against this disease, too.

The vaccine is trust. First, trust in science. I salute the journalists and others fact-checking the mountain of misleading stories and social media posts. Social media companies must do more to root out hate and harmful assertions about COVID-19.

Second, trust in institutions — grounded in responsive, responsible, evidence-based governance and leadership. And trust in each other. Mutual respect and upholding human rights must be our compass in navigating this crisis. Together, let’s reject the lies and nonsense out there.

Today I am announcing a new United Nations Communications Response initiative to flood the Internet with facts and science while countering the growing scourge of misinformation -- a poison that is putting even more lives at risk. With common cause for common sense and facts, we can defeat COVID-19 -- and build a healthier, more equitable, just and resilient world.

 

Thank you.

Anyone still doubt the N.W.O. does not exist?

Listen to the U.N. Chief and his coded words calling for Internet censorship because of hate and vaccines because it is science.

The President is on a roll. Hopefully he will turn his eyes to the UN. The shut down is a great excuse to get the UN out of America. Then we can defund them too.
May God keep our President safe as he goes into battle against the NWO.

"Falsehoods are filling the airwaves."

That's nothing new. Anyone who has seen CNN or MSNBC knows that has been going on for years.

"Hatred is going viral, stigmatizing and vilifying people and groups."

I guess he is referring to the attempts made at college campuses all over the USA to blame older white males for every malady in society.

Everything is being escalated quickly by the U.N. and other Globalists that includes the D.C. Establishment, the Democrats, China, the U.N. and the NeverTrumpers. Timing Is NOT a coincidence.

This media reports, government verifies “PLANS” are in place that the way we live our lives will change for YEARS.... Total restriction, rationing, monitoring and forced vaccinations.

The thing that escalated quickly is the turn of them now “planning” this event to last a minimum of 12-18 months, they are now saying this “new way of life” could go into 2022 and beyond.

It is time for another "Century of Humiliation" for China.

亞洲病夫 (Sick Man of Asia)
Chinese are sensitive about the subject...

Their putrid lifestyles, and arrogant, secretive, leadership, are endangering human civilization

These NWO types are like prophets proclaiming the coming AntiChrist

How’s that Open Borders, Joint Currency,
European Union, Open Immigration Thingy doing for you now?

The NWO types want to consolidate power into fewer and fewer people,
People cannot be trusted with unfettered power,
I/We/You/They are just too evil and prone to corruption.
The WORST come to the top in One World Government scenarios,
Power is “mothers milk” to EVIL
The AnitChrist comes to mind
