It is so disgusting to see how many people have been recruited as #Russian #propaganda voices. They comment and post stuff which can look legit, even though it is simply #disinformation that had been gently and well prepared.
#European s! Be prepared for this wave of disinformation. #Russia is trying its best to destabilise our #EI and our countries. Awful.
Remember to stay on the side of truth.
Along with colleagues from the #Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU), Ristić has spread #disinformation about Jadar across Serbian media, boosting his popularity among Serbian citizens.

Ristić has led a #disinformation campaign against the Jadar project, claiming #Germany wants to turn #Serbia into a “mining colony” for its auto industry and that the mine would cause irreversible environmental damage.

#Serbia, along with #Belarus, remains #Russia’s staunchest #European #ally amid its #aggression against #Ukraine. Not only have they refused to impose #sanctions, but Serbia has also become a regional #disinformation hub, destabilizing the wider region.

@heretical_i @middleeasteye @palestine #Poland is one of those countries that recognise #Palestine as a sovereign country. @adamszlapka is not a nazi. Stop #disinformation.
I started the @leavex campaign on January 6, when the Open Letter was published. Before I created the petition on open petition, I first submitted it to the @EUCommission's petition website. I got an answer that they are analyzing this petition on the 22nd of January. It's already more than 2 months and no concrete feedback. I'll send an email after my work.
That's the sense of urgency we have in the European Parliament on disinformation campaigns undermining our democracies.

Social progress is simply the progressive education and enlightenment of the public mind in regard to its immediate and distant social problems. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
I wonder how much progress the #fediverse could have and grow in quality if the @EUCommission could seriously fund good non-profit projects that already make an interoperable web possible: @Mastodon , @pixelfed , @pleroma , @peertube , @gotosocial etc.
There are talks about BILLIONS of euros to rearm Europe, which seems justified to me. But it seems that no one puts on the table how to seriously address the problem of disinformation campaigns that undermine democracies. I found the EU project EU vs Disinfo https://euvsdisinfo.eu/, but they didn't dare to create at least a profile here.
Let's perpetuate the cycle of walled gardens run by cool tech bros and their profit seeking businesses. It is very comfortable.
“'What is the cure for measles?' [RFKJr.] told an audience in 2021 at an Amish country fair in Pennsylvania. 'Chicken soup and vitamin A.'"

Every dark cloud has a silver lining, after all. Look on the sunny side of life.
And none of these hazards compare with the gruesome damage any vaccination does.
People in the pre-modern world practicing "primitive" medicine had better instincts about all of this than we science-addled folks today have, right?

Besides, getting measles isn't the worst thing that can happen to a child. Only 1 to 3 in 1,000 die of measles. And those who die must not have been meant to live; they lacked natural strength and were not fed and exercised properly.
For children who survive measles, the worst that can happen is that they go blind — but at least, they'll have their lives, even if they can no longer see.

I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE THINK WE NEED VACCINES
Wearing asafoedita in a bag around the neck keeps measles at bay. It's a sure preventative.
If you think you need extra protection, sip some water from a holy well while walking widdershins around it and reciting the Lord's prayer backwards.

New week, same twisted kremlin antics.
Pro-kremlin #disinformation spins ceasefire talks as 'total capitulation', EU defence as planned aggression, and democracy as conspiracy.

"Uninformed voters often recognize the limits of their knowledge and are therefore more hesitant. Misinformed voters are certain they know something they don’t—and they don’t hesitate to act, sometimes aggressively, on those false beliefs."

"By contrast, operating on bad information courts disaster. Garbage in, garbage out. ...
In the past, we needed to worry about uninformed voters, those who didn’t know much about politics. These days, we need to worry about the much more dangerous misinformed voters."

"One of the strangest dynamics of modern politics is that the richest man in the world chooses to get his information from grifting ignoramuses on social media."
Anyone with an ounce of intelligence understands that, when making decisions, good information is like intellectual gold dust."

Update. "#Trump’s next #climate move: Show global warming benefits humanity"
https://www.eenews.net/articles/trumps-next-climate-move-show-global-warming-benefits-humanity/
"President Donald Trump has long rejected climate science. Now, his administration is grappling with how to assemble a body of federal climate research to show a warming world is benefiting humanity…Proposals include…conducting a hostile review of U.S. and international climate reports, and recruiting a White House-approved list of researchers to produce a National Climate Assessment based on partisan research and industry studies."
