the ministry of truth is in operation and gearing up to go full on with their mission. in this article you'll discover the current efforts and how that will impact you even if you aren't aware;

The New York Times appears to have declared war on traditional critical thinking, which they say “isn’t helping in the fight against misinformation”.

Sharing the insights of “a digital literacy expert” named Michael Caulfield, the article reads as follows:

“We’re taught that, in order to protect ourselves from bad information, we need to deeply engage with the stuff that washes up in front of us,” Mr. Caulfield told me recently. He suggested that the dominant mode of media literacy (if kids get taught any at all) is that “you’ll get imperfect information and then use reasoning to fix that somehow. But in reality, that strategy can completely backfire.”

In other words: Resist the lure of rabbit holes, in part, by reimagining media literacy for the internet hellscape we occupy.

What Does The New York Times Suggest We Do Instead?

Caulfield argues that the best way to learn about a source of information is to “leave it and look elsewhere”, by seeing how that source of information measures up to the existing status quo.

For further clarification, the New York Times’ “digital literacy expert” provides us with an example by investigating a post (which they do not offer any link to) made by Robert F Kennedy Jr on Instagram:

He copied Mr. Kennedy’s name in the Instagram post and popped it into Google. “Look how fast this is,” he told me as he counted the seconds out loud. In 15 seconds, he navigated to Wikipedia and scrolled through the introductory section of the page, highlighting with his cursor the last sentence, which reads that Mr. Kennedy is an anti-vaccine activist and a conspiracy theorist.

In short, the New York Times and their “expert” are telling us that instead of investigating the claims of someone that challenges the status quo and our understanding and perception of reality, we should instead avoid them and go directly to the authorities to tell us what to think..........read and watch more...

 if you believe the 'news' you're a minority and the same is beginning to be true for the covid hoax, as this article displays;

I suspect a large portion of the public is at least partially aware when they are being pushed or lured into a specific way of thinking. We have certainly had enough experience with institutions trying to manage our thoughts over the years.  Governments and mainstream media outlets in particular have made the manufacture of public consent their top priority. This is what they spend most of their time, money and energy on. All other issues are secondary.The media does not objectively report facts and evidence, it spins information to plant an engineered narrative in the minds of its viewers. But the public is not as stupid as they seem to think. This is probably why trust in the media has plunged by 46% in the past ten years, hitting an all time low this year of 27%.

Except for pre-election season spikes, mainstream outlets from CNN to Fox to CBS to MSNBC are facing dismal audience numbers, with only around 2 million to 3 million prime time viewers. There are numerous YouTube commentators with bigger audiences than this. And, if you sift through the debris of MSM videos on YouTube, you’ll find low hits and a majority of people that are visiting their channels just to make fun of them.

The MSM is now scrambling to explain their crumbling empire, as well as debating on ways to save it from oblivion. The power of the “Fourth Estate” is a facade, an illusion given form by smoke and mirrors. Bottom line: Nobody (except perhaps extreme leftists) likes the corporate media or activist journalists and propagandists.

One would think that media moguls and journos would have realized this by now. I mean, if they accepted this reality, they would not be struggling so much with the notion that no one is listening to them when it comes to pandemic mandates and the covid vaccines. Yet, journalists complain about it incessantly lately.

In fact, half the media reports I see these days are not fact based analysis of events, but corporate journalists interviewing OTHER corporate journalists and bitching to each other about how Americans are “too ignorant” or “too conspiratorial” to grasp that journos are the anointed high priests of information.

I actually find this situation fascinating as an observer of oligarchy and being well versed in the mechanics of propaganda. The fundamental narrative of control-culture is that there are “experts” that the establishment chooses, and then there is everyone else. The “experts” are supposed to pontificate and dictate while everyone else is supposed to shut up, listen and obey...........read and watch more.........

 its legal for 'our' government to lie to you and this exploration shows you some of the what and how of it all;

In most nations, when a particular criminal conduct reaches epidemic proportion, the government finally acts decisively to eradicate it. Not in America; they solve the problem by legalising it. They did this with influence-peddling (lobbying) and drugs, the same now occurring with domestic propaganda which has been against the law for a very long time to protect citizens from psychological manipulation and control by their own government. The law has always been ignored, but Congress is now dispensing with the pretense in repealing two major laws, the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act (1) (2) (3) (4) and the 1987 Foreign Relations Authorization Act, so as to permit the authorities to disperse false and misleading propaganda and campaigns of misinformation against its own people. Of course, the government has always done this surreptitiously, sometimes to an overwhelming extent as in the case of war marketing, but it has always been illegal. After this, it won’t be. One Pentagon official claimed this new provision will have “No checks and balances. No one will know if the information is accurate, partially accurate, or entirely false”. In an article in USA Today, it was quoted that the US military (Pentagon) already spends about $4 billion per year on propaganda to sway public opinion, much of that directed domestically. (5) (6) (7)

We now have the sock puppets, (8) (9) the fake social media personas on the Internet, used by the US military and intelligence agencies to affect and lead public opinion in many countries, usually with the intent of inciting civil unrest and revolution. It has been obvious for some time that these tactics have been used domestically as well, the new legislation simply legalising the process. Many US government agencies have obtained this software that permits them to flood the social media with fake people making fake posts in support of government positions and discrediting those who hold contrary views or are critical of the government. The software is extremely detailed, providing extensive backgrounds for these fictitious people, permitting a single human to assume the identities of as many as 1,000 fake people, and make them appear to actually be in a certain physical place or even attending an actual event. They control the IP address, making it impossible to detect that a single person in one location is orchestrating all that activity. The program manual states, “There is a variety of social media tricks we can use to add a level of realness to all fictitious personas”. The contract requires “virtual private servers” located in and outside the US, to give false locational information, and also requires what it calls “traffic mixing”, blending the persona controllers’ internet usage with the usage of people outside Centcom in a manner that offers “excellent cover and powerful deniability”.

This “Persona management software” is now being used to manipulate public opinion on key issues, with unlimited numbers of virtual people regularly flooding US social media with pro-government propaganda in attempts to manage public perception and kill political activism. This is called “counter-messaging” and the Pentagon has made no secret of its activities in promulgating “black propaganda” – which means knowingly spreading lies to mislead and misinform the public for the purpose of stifling political dissent. In its increasing fear of political activism, the US government has labeled the Internet as a “breeding ground for domestic terrorists”, and appears to include in this category anyone who questions the government’s version of events. This is all part of a massive program to intimidate, manipulate, and crush all public dissent, and to control not only domestic discussion but also to actively manipulate worldwide opinion. Their activity is becoming common in China where, on the occurrence of an event containing useful propaganda fuel, we often see a flood of commentary on Weibo supporting the American position, these ostensibly being posted by native Chinese but almost inevitably originating in Fort Langley, Virginia...........read more.......

 this is a sample of what you get when you support the zionist criminal organization passing itself off as israel;

A video of armed Israeli soldiers arresting a group of five Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank has triggered widespread condemnation from activists and human rights groups, who viewed the incident as "extremely aggressive".

The video, filmed by a field researcher with Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, was recorded in the Masafer Yatta area of the southern Hebron hills, which is home to dozens of clusters of Palestinian villages and enclaves, as well as several illegal Israeli settlements and outposts.

“I got a call in the early afternoon saying that there were settlers chasing a group of young Palestinian boys near the at-Tuwani village, and that I should go there as fast as I could,” Nasr Nawajaa, a local activist and B’Tselem field researcher told Middle East Eye. “When I arrived, there were dozens of armed and masked Israeli soldiers pulling the children towards a group of military Jeeps. And I immediately picked up my camera and started filming,” Nawajaa said. 

In the video filmed by Nawajaa and published by B’Tselem, dozens of Israeli soldiers in combat gear can be seen grabbing the terrified children and pushing them towards the military vehicles. 

Several Palestinian bystanders can be seen attempting to intervene, but to no avail. At one point, an older Palestinian boy can be seen trying to rescue one of the minors, at which point he is grabbed by another soldier and dragged along with the group. 

“The children were screaming and crying, pleading with the soldiers to call their parents and wait until their family arrived before taking them away,” Nawajaa told MEE. 

He said the soldiers were “extremely aggressive” with the children, who were between eight and 13 years of age..........read and watch more.......

 things certainly are getting interesting and this essay covers just a few of the most salient ones;

Now that the implications of the Harris/Biden administration are setting in, my Democrat friends (yes, I do have a few) are becoming very embarrassed.  They bought into the propaganda that all the turmoil in Washington was created by the erratic and immoral behavior of Donald Trump.  Their vote for Harris/Biden was a vote to return to normal.  They didn’t realize that the Democrats weren’t offering a return to normal, they were offering the establishment of a “new normal.”

The “new normal” includes restricted energy exploration and cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline.  This has caused a loss of well-paying union jobs, damaged relations with Canada, and triggered skyrocketing gasoline prices.  It also threatens to return us to dependence on the most unstable region in the world.  To those who would like us to leave the Middle East to resolve its own problems -- we can’t now.

We’ve implemented more “humane” immigration policies, creating a flood of illegal immigrants across the border -- wearing “Biden” t-shirts.  Our humane policy has given us men, women, and children sacrificing their lives pursuing the dream promised them by the Democrats.  Thankfully, we’re no longer keeping illegal immigrant children in cages.  Now we’re keeping them in Conex boxes.  I guess we can feel good about that.

Those arriving illegal immigrants are putting more pressure on a struggling job market, decimated by COVID lockdowns.  Rather than help struggling small businesses, the Democrats seek to impose more economic distress with a $15-per-hour minimum wage.  As small businesses close their doors, the dreams of their owners are dashed, and entry level job opportunities disappear forever..........read more.........

 just do what the cops tell you and all will be well, or maybe not, as this article shows;

Oklahoma City, OK — An act of capital punishment caught on video was so excessive and over the top that five Oklahoma City police officers have been charged with first-degree manslaughter. A 15-year-old boy was complying with officers’ orders before all five cops opened fire on him, executing him in firing squad fashion.

The incident unfolded on Nov. 23, 2020, when police were called to a gas station over a report of a robbery in progress. The alleged suspect was 15-year-old Stavian Rodriguez. Until now, police ran with the narrative that Rodriguez was an armed threat. However, video proves this is not true.

When police arrived, the clerk managed to flee the store while locking Rodriguez inside. Officers had the gas station surrounded when Rodriguez climbed out of a window to comply with the officers’ orders to exit the building.

“Nobody has to get hurt, just show us your hands,” police say over the loudspeaker. Later the voice repeats, “Facedown, on the ground.”

As the video shows, when the boy walks into the parking lot, he puts his hands up, shows his waistband and is armed. Officers order the boy to drop the weapon and Rodriguez complies, going so far as to grab the pistol by the extended magazine to make sure officers knew he could not shoot at them.

After dropping the gun, officers yelled at the now-unarmed Rodriguez to comply with conflicting orders. In a probable cause affidavit from the Oklahoma County district attorney, authorities admitted the officers were “simultaneously giving him varying commands.”

Clearly confused, Rodriguez appears to reach his hand to his lower back to either pull up his pants or possibly empty his pockets. But he would never finish what he started because five officers opened fire on the boy and executed him like a firing squad........read and watch more.....

 i'd guess that this prediction has a high rate of probability;

Are World Wars a thing of the past?

Will there never, ever be a Third World War?

From recent news, it appears that Russia has developed new, monstrous weapons of inconceivable destructive power, to be delivered by intercontinental missiles. It certainly doesn't sound like the Russian government regards war as a thing of the past.

Russia has only one potential enemy - the USA. The USA is the only candidate as a victim of Russian weaponry - and for good reasons.

The USA is engaged in ceaseless efforts to annoy Russia, as well as China, a nuclear power allied to Russia.

At present, the USA is sending warships into the Black Sea, threatening Crimea, which opted to ally with Russia, and the Russian Donbass area, which has a coastline with the Black Sea.

Further, the USA instigated a revolt in Ukraine, ousted its President who was friendly to Russia, and has installed a régime beholden to the USA and hostile to Russia, which is on its northern border. President Biden's son made some juicy deals with Ukraine's pro-American government.

The USA attempted - but failed - to overthrow the pro-Russian government of Belarus ("White Russia") and install a pro-American puppet as President.

The USA has attempted to prevent the completion of an important gas pipeline, from Russia to Germany, which would provide abundant and cheap gas for German industry, in a futile effort to provide much more expensive gas, to be sent to Germany by ship from the USA.

The USA is not only engaged in annoying Russia, but also insists on annoying China and its population of about 1.4 billion Chinese.

USA annoys China by sending its aircraft carriers and their accompanying forces, through the China Sea and the islands in it, which belong to China, and through the Strait which separates Taiwan - claimed as Chinese territory by China - from China.

After umpteen years, the USA is still waging war in Afghanistan, in the middle of Asia, killing its people and destroying the country, without any success in achieving some undefined purpose.

The USA maintains active forces in the Middle East, killing its people and destroying their cities.

Indeed, the whole history of the USA is as a belligerent nation, i.e., a warlike nation. Why is this so? Why cannot the territorial ambitions of the USA ever be satisfied?  This is indeed a mystery.

What lies ahead is Doomsday for the USA. Given the nature of the USA, Doomsday is inevitable:

The USA will at some point, by its nature, be forced to attack Russia or its ally, China.

The result of this inevitable event will be the bombing, with nuclear weapons, of the territory of the USA, by Russia and its ally China.

This event will be the first event of such a nature, in the history of the USA, which, since 1812, has never suffered the consequences of war on its own territory.

And this event - the destruction of the USA by nuclear weapons. launched from Russian and Chinese submarines presently lying quietly on the bottom of the seas, off the coasts of the USA, or by  intercontinental nukes  - will mark the end of the USA.........http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/03.21/ahead.html
