UN Education Agency Launches War on ‘Conspiracy Theories’

UNESCO is training and recruiting teachers as a key part of its global effort to combat what it considers problematic information and ideas

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, better known by its acronym, UNESCO, is escalating its global war on ideas and information it considers to be “misinformation” and “conspiracy theories.”

According to the Paris-based U.N. education agency, which released a major report on the subject for educators this summer, conspiracy theories cause “significant harm” and form “the backbone of many populist movements.”

Canada announces millions in funding for COVID isolation site

In a new release, the Government of Canada said that isolation remains one of the best ways to slow the spread of COVID despite it being over two years since COVID began and there being little to no evidence to support such a position.

The government continues, saying that the isolation site will be used to accommodate foreign agri-workers who can’t find a place to isolate when they enter Canada. “These workers tend to live in close accommodations and work in congregate settings, which makes it difficult to isolate, if required,” reads the news release.

Women And Racialized Journalists In Canada Facing New Wave Of Harassment And Threats

A series of mainstream Canadian journalists and public activists received identical emails last week. The message suggested that people would be waiting outside a young reporter’s home, and implied coordinated plans for violence and stalking amid a flurry of racial and gender-based slurs.

Whether or not the premise of the email is true, the violent message was sent to numerous Canadian women who dare to be public figures. The calls in the text for broken windows and “wig-removal service” on specific journalists has one intention – to intimidate.

‘Just Astounding’: Defense Department Wiped Jan. 6 Text Messages From Key Officials, Watchdog Finds

The Department of Defense (DOD) wiped messages from devices belonging to Trump administration officials involved in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots, according to court filings.

The American Oversight watchdog group filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Pentagon and Army to obtain records from former Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, his former chief of staff Kash Patel and former Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, as well as other key Defense officials, in March 2021. DOD responded in March 2022 that “text messages were not preserved and could not be searched,” possibly erasing information that could provide transparency behind the events of Jan. 6.

The plan to push more injections, target OB/GYNs, and to track whom, among the pregnant, are getting injected

So I got another couple of documents in my inbox this afternoon. The one I wish to ‘write up’ here is entitled: “Title: Surveys to Monitor Vaccination Coverage (Influenza, Tdap, and other vaccines) among Pregnant Women during the 2022-23 Influenza Season”. This is a competitive procurement to find the best person for the job to help the CDC spy on pregnant women with regard to who’s getting injected with what so that they can get more and more pregnant women injected. Maybe this is just ‘something that the CDC do’, but to me, this kind of information is still no one’s bloody business by the individual’s, and the person recommending whatever treatment/injection that individual might receive.

The Problem with “Disinformation”

Agencies must draw a bright line between foreign intelligence operations and Americans’ speech.

The German language is famous for its compound words expressing some ineffable truth difficult to convey in English. Among them: Irrweg, which means, roughly, “a path that should not have been taken.” For the American national-security apparatus, the recent turn toward spotting “disinformation” in American public discourse has been such a path.

Lincoln National, insurance company, fifth-largest life insurance company in US, reports a 163% increase in death benefits paid out under its group life insurance policies in 2021; why? COVID vaccine?

Yes, Yes, Yes!!! it’s the vaccine. Where is the evidence-based medicine world (EBM)? Where are these stalwarts of evidence? Are they bought out, drunk on their research grants from Pfizer and NIH?

Durham Played You For A Fool!

It’s the summer of 2022 — and where are all those Durham indictments you were promised? And where’s that much-discussed Durham report? Do you know that you’ve been played for a fool yet — or are you still watching Fox News? Maybe you need another year to figure out the entire game. Maybe you still believe Bill Barr! Didn’t that legendary windbag tell us that the wheels of justice grind very slow but justice is coming?

Let’s turn back the clock two years — in case you forgot what AG Bagpipes promised the American public.

Bill C-11 Enters a Danger Zone: Government Shifts from Ignoring Witnesses on User Content Regulation to Dismissing Criticisms as “Misinformation”

The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage heard from a total of 48 witnesses as individuals or representing organizations during its study of Bill C-11 (excluding the CRTC and government officials). Of those 48, at least 16 either raised concerns about the regulation of user content in the bill or disputed government claims about its effect. Liberal, NDP and Bloc MPs proposed and voted for amendments in Bill C-11 raised by a single witness or organization, but somehow the testimony of one-third of the witnesses, which included creators, consumer groups, independent experts, Internet platforms, and industry associations. was ignored.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Good luck outlawing election ‘disinformation’ without making it worse

What are facts? What is the truth? Questions that schoolchildren used to be able to answer now trip up journalists and prime ministers. We’ve tumbled from a world that generally agreed upon what is true and what is not, down a rabbit hole where the pursuit of power, money and clout twist and stretch reality until it’s sometimes barely recognizable.
