Dis/misinformation, that is the question! Intentionality is the key. Disinformation is puposely crafted knowing it is false or missleading. Missinformation is not purposefully crafted knowing it is false or misleading.

A circulating on Facebook about Brian Posch going missing is fake news, and disrespectful to Brain's family. Griffters are getting shares and clicks. You are making them money! Please fact-check before you share or amplify a post.

Behind every meme, there is a story. Some are innocent; others a tool for conflict. We delve into the darker side of viral humour and how memes are manipulated for memetic warfare. The battlefield is closer than one may think.

Fake news is rising rapidly, an ironic and disturbing trend. Despite having unprecedented access to information, we're caught in a paradox where abundance breeds falsehoods. Fake news, like a masterful illusion, deceives with its well-crafted illusion of truth. Censorship isn't the solution. We need to enhance critical thinking and media literacy.

Reflexive control cracks us with a whip of disinformation, so sensual and so sweet: we embrace it until all we hold dear is drained from us and we awaken from the seductive apathy, our bondage fully complete: our freedoms drifting like a wraith in the far reaches of our consciousness. #Disinformation #Misinformation #ReflexiveControl #AsymmetricWarfare

Conspiracies do exist, much to my chagrin! One pertinent fact sometimes presents as anathema and troublesome to those who rail against disinformation and conspiracies: Conspiracies do actually exist! This fact causes much consternation because the moment we acknowledge what may be a conspiracy, we open ourselves up to being ridiculed and accused of exploring rabbit holes and wearing tin foil hats.

Language is a blessing: it is also a curse! It can be used to edify, and it can be used to destroy people, families, communities etc; it is a proverbial "double-edged sword."

My Humble Opinion!
The will of the people, really? #Brexit, IMHO, was predicated by lies, Apparently, supported by #Russian money and part of Aleksandr Dugin's 1997 grand plan. It sounds more like "ideological subversion" with a generous heaping of "reflexive control" tossed in! Search the terms and read Dugin's tripe: to understand how the true "will of the people" may have been subverted. https://bit.ly/3KK81Wf

It is not usually a good idea to write an article when your self-monitoring is at "ebb-tide:" However, it can be rather cathartic. With this in mind, I present my latest rant on disinformation, misinformation and conspiracy theories. It is not scientific: it is opinionated and unapologetically so!

In this article, I argue that nuance is a protective factor in the fight against cognitive warfare and helps develop critical-thinking skills: thereby acting as a protective factor by inoculating a person's intellect.

Excited to share with you my latest article exploring the refugee crisis in Ireland. Through the lens of literature and mythology, I delve into the root causes of the conflict and the importance of empathy and understanding in overcoming prejudice and promoting unity. The article is a powerful reminder of the resilience and indomitable spirit of the human race.
