"It's important to remember: they don't just sow doubt about #ClimateChange & the science. They undermine the political will needed to address it, they go directly after climate policy. They're doing this in our schools, which is horrifying & they're lobbying intensively right now in government."

"The number one lesson that Donald Trump took from the pandemic on his watch is that it was bad for him politically. For him, utter ignorance was preferable to public information panic and preparedness. Kennedy is the mad bad tool implementing that lesson now in his powerful position running the nation's health agencies right into the ground."

Macdonald-Laurier Institute: Canada-Japan cooperation to challenge the escalating threat of Russian disinformation: Marcus Kolga for Inside Policy. “Canada, as a G7 partner and democracy, is well-positioned to work alongside Japan in countering foreign disinformation.

This general principle, that men are very largely actuated by motives which they conceal from themselves, is as true of mass as of individual psychology. It is evident that the successful propagandist must understand the true motives and not be content to accept the reasons which men give for what they do. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda

"The 'global science communications action plan' was introduced at a meeting by the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute which directly says 'we achieve victory when the average citizen recognizes there are uncertainties about climate science' then lays out a plan including getting into the education system."

#tesla is absolutely screwed.

Their stock was at about 268 at closing last night.

In less than 24 hours it has dropped to 239 or so last I checked right before writing this at 2:53.

29 dollars in a day is MASSIVE. Most companies aren't valued at 29 a stock.

Also the EU is likely fining X a BILLION for #disinformation laws.

CEOs are also losing billions in #tech as the market crashes, like #jeffbezos.

#elonmusk must be sweating.

I need to make a correction about some recent posts as it is my responsibility as content creator that people follow:

I fell for some #disinformation

#canada has not cut off oil supply to the USA yet, which I stated on a couple videos and posts.

They have simply discussed it, and the source I got that info from has also disappeared.

I am sorry for spreading that information, and please disregard it.

However it still remains as a stated possibility.

I will be more careful in the future.

'Canada, as a G7 partner and democracy, is well-positioned to work alongside Japan in countering foreign disinformation. Both nations face parallel threats from authoritarian regimes that seek to undermine democratic institutions and manipulate public discourse. A coordinated approach strengthens resilience on both sides of the Pacific, making it harder for adversaries to exploit vulnerabilities. '

What is going on with #ctvnews ?

I send them an email and their mailbox is full.

I get a 403 error "The request could not be satisfied." at :
https://flipboard.com/@CTVNews

It is almost like they don't want to answer a question about an issue they reversed course on.
