This Could Save You A Whole Lot of Trouble

In the last couple weeks, two disastrous events have occurred, capturing Americans' attention—and imaginations. On March 22, gunmen killed over one hundred concert-goers at Crocus City Hall near Moscow. A week later, on March 29, a cargo ship crashed into a support of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, collapsing the entire thing. With both events, everyone rushed to "have a take," from false flag terrorism, to globalist plots to destroy American infrastructure. On this email list, we've been learning together how to disseminate propaganda in search of the truth. One major lesson...

by Patrick Macfarlane | Mar 28, 2024 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy

In its most recent National Defense Strategy, the U.S. Department of Defense declared a policy of “integrated deterrence” against the People’s Republic of China, its primary “pacing challenge.” The document defined “integrated deterrence” as: "...working seamlessly across warfighting domains, theaters, the spectrum of conflict, all instruments of U.S. national power, and our network of Alliances and partnerships. Tailored to specific circumstances, it applies a coordinated, multifaceted approach to reducing competitors’ perceptions of the net benefits of aggression relative to restraint....

On March 14, Reuters released a bombshell report: in 2019 the Donald Trump White House began a clandestine CIA influence campaign to smear China's international reputation. According to three former U.S. officials with direct knowledge, “the CIA created a small team of operatives who used bogus internet identities to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping’s government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets.” The information releases “targeted public opinion” both internationally and in China itself. Along with influencing public opinion, the campaign sought to...

Culture Warriors Spread Disinfo on ‘Haitian Cannibals’

by Patrick Macfarlane | Mar 14, 2024 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy

In the first few years of the 2020s, the world witnessed a revolution in the dissemination of atrocity propaganda. Thanks to the proliferation of social media, smartphone ownership, and artificial intelligence, atrocity claims can now be manufactured, disseminated, and, thankfully, debunked in real time. Although technology may be evolving, lies do not change much. During World War I, the British claimed Germans boiled the corpses of their war dead to make fat and glycerin for munitions. More recently, we’ve seen accusations of industrial organ harvesting in Xinjiang, China and claims that...
