Applying the word disinformation is being used to imply a lie in order to deceive the recipient. Disinformation has no definition and therefore can be applied to anything the state decides it doesn’t like. Application of the term Disinformation is itself the best indicator of deceptive intent. Lies are lies and facts are facts and Disinformation is neither but instills confusion as intended. Don’t be confused, have faith in your experience, challenge the source to define their claim. We have been and are borrowing money from ourselves calling it QE and lying about its impact on inflation. We have real problems and they are not racism, Ukraine, Russia or transphobia. Our real problems are China who makes everything we depend on, corruption in our own government, a media full of useful idiots with utopian aspirations and an apathetic public too comfortable to be bothered while the house is on fire to help put it out. I’m not religious but I’m thinking we should start praying for the courage to refuse being deceived and call out the liars for their lies.
