Disinformation and the liquification of reality

This isn’t a comprehensive essay on the topic. Just examples. For a clear understanding, go back and watch the Stephen Coughlin interviews we have done with Stephen, or any other videos of Maj. (Ret.) Coughlin on the subject.

But in the last 12 hours or so, I have seen several examples of stunning disinformation videos which I believe require confirmation bias on our part to ‘work’. They appear to be counter-narrative, so we tend to want to believe them. It ends up having the same effect on us though.

And ‘work’ in this case means at at the very least confuse you or make a powerful false impression, even if you kinda know at some level there is something wrong with it. For example, exactly the way Michael Moore movies worked. If you watch them as a video (I used to rent them on VHS tapes) and keep the remote in your hand and stop and think whenever he appears to make a point, you will get clearly what he tries to do. If you watch it in a theatre or when not really paying close attention, or without stopping so that he runs one false impression into another, you end up with a sort of overall emotional belief in the thing he attacks. Those impressions are always negative, targeted and not based in any way on reality. The targeting is also consistent. It is America and it’s values, culture and people.

Here is an example of a vetted piece of actual information. The only thing not conformed is that the information was released on an unsecured server. But the things this person reveals are actually true, and are important. Here is a Guardian article on it.

I’ll give this the benefit of the doubt, in part because of a man who was arrested for a burglary because the app he used for tracking his cycling told police he was in the area at the time. And although he was just cycling by, he was arrested for the crime. Later released though, but th point is it adds some reasonable confirmation of the story above. Apps do spy on you, and authorities use that information. We really saw that in Canada during lock downs where 30 million phones were tracked.

Now let’s look at some other videos which go from totally clearly fake to almost certainly fake but worth verification.

Good luck finding any kind of source on this.

Also Dr. Martin to the best of my knowledge never appears on camera without a bowtie.

CORRECTION: He did not wear a bowtie at his stunning appearance at the NCI this past winter.

Then there is this Facebook video.

Anyone who would read this site at all would be able to spot the video linked above is a fake. They do get her voice right in terms of tone and timbre. But she has a slight Chinese accent, not British. Also, the interviewer is stiff in presentation. All this is perfectly obvious and needs no explanation really. But how many might be fooled? Or how many would watch part of it and just leave the video with a vague impression from this video in that Michael Moore sense.

This one is interesting. Im gonna say FAKE on it. I know a few of the doctors on the panel here and will reach out to them and see if I can get any sort of confirmation on it. But for me, it doesn’t fit. The mouth movement doesn’t match the words. Something is just wrong with it. Let’s hope it isn’t correct in any case. Let’s say the jury is out for the moment on this one. But if I had to call it now, I would say fake, dependant on confirmation bias to accept it, and an attempt to discredit the most excellent, brave and brilliant doctors and scientists on that panel so that what else they do say that is true and important becomes untrustworthy.

I will update this if I Gert a response from any of these doctors at all either way.

Information warfare is complex and counter-intuitive. Even trying to get a grip on why they would want to destroy our sense of reality is challenging. Probably because the degree of pure evil required to wish to do this is so high, people just can’t accept it.

In Yuri Bezmanov’s critically important interview on CBC from the year, 1984, he describes the stages of demoralization that Soviet propaganda/disinformation warfare seeks to achieve, And while yes, the Russians may be still doing things like this to a degree, our own state apparatus is more in the lead I would say than the Russians are for disinformation attacks on Western citizens than even the Russians or Chinese can do.

Here is a link to the entire Bezmenov lecture/interview.

It is worth every second of the just under 3 hours it takes to listen to it all.

But the relevant part is here in just over 2 minutes:

Reality gets liquified. You can’t know what is true. You can however, be arrested, jailed or harassed by the state for wrong-think. Pay attention to which books the police linger over when illegally (from the PoV of a free society) searching this retired police officer’s home somewhere in Great Britain. And no, it is not ironic that they chose those books. It is a data point to the new paradigm under which the British live, and soon the rest of the West.
