#MAGAts do this shit all the time. They invent stories that reflect a worldview they wish existed, then promote it as fact, often perpetuating these #LIES though a complicit and unscrupulous #rightWingMedia. MAGAts don't have a sense of humor, and they fundamentally do not understand #comedy, or satire. Their idea of a joke is to invent meanspirited lies about people they don't like, and then say, "Har dee har har, just kidding!" when they get called out.
The documentary was not broadcast in #Canada. Hansen said the reason B.C.’s wood pellet industry is a focus in #UnitedKingdom is the #Drax Power Station in #England.
@justafrog Monocrop tree planting is part of ongoing government & #deforestation industry #greenwashing#lies.
Clearcuts in BC look like apocalyptic wastelands. Companies don't do proper cleanups & fuel from heavy machinery has leaked into waterways. Glysophate spraying has killed many plants & insects & toxins leak into soil/waterways.
Both clearcuts & G-sprays have decimated longtime food/medicine forests & wild food gardens that Indigenous peoples have depended upon for many generations.
Active measures is a term used to describe political #warfare conducted by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The term, which dates back to the 1920s, includes operations such as espionage, propaganda, sabotage and assassination, based on foreign policy objectives of the Soviet and Russian governments against the United States and democratic western countries. Active measures have continued to be used by Vladimir Putin to control US politics through disinformation that enable controlling the Republican party.
“Putting up trade barriers with your neighbours can make you richer, said the Brexiters. You can simultaneously cut taxes and increase spending, and pay no price, said Truss. Rwanda is a safe country, said Rishi Sunak.”
Remembering that time Sony got caught lying to Gamers, but instead of apologising acted like it was all a harmless goof by Beloved Uncle Sony and his only crime was being too "funky fresh".
Truth: A Brief History of Total Bullsh*t by Tom Phillips, 2019
As the editor of the UK's leading independent fact-checker, Tom Phillips deals with complete bollocks every day. Here, he tells the hilarious story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other - and ourselves - and asks an important question: how can humanity move towards a truthier future?
(It's too bad, however, that the magazine "lightly edited" the transcripts -- this means the editors cleaned up his notorious word salad, giving a false impression of sorts.)
Not to worry. Israeli lies worked to cut aid - their primary objective. I just don't think even the US will listen to them in the future. The IDF have been pushing ‘alternative truths' for a long time and being believed - it can't last.
#Trump claimed today at his speech in front of #law enforcement officers in #Michigan that he called the family of #RubyGarcia, who was killed by a friend of hers who was a migrant. Trump claimed he spoke to several of her family members….
Ruby Garcia's sister Mavi Garcia told WOOD TV8 that neither Trump nor any member of his campaign have contacted her or any of her family members, & was upset that Trump was #exploiting migrants.
Donald continues to knowingly fraud to Americans. No normalizing that criminal's behavior. Continuous lies of a worthless criminal, using a murder victim with yet another fraud. Be aware of the biggest criminal in American history.
The sister of murder victim Ruby Garcia said she and her family were home watching live, in disbelief, as criminal defendant Donald told an audience in Grand Rapids that he had spoken with “some of her family.”
“He did not speak with any of us, so it was kind of shocking seeing that he had said that he had spoke with us, and misinforming people on live TV,” says Ruby Garcia’s sister, Mavi.
The family of #BrianSicknick, the #PoliceOfficer who died during the #Jan6 attack, blasted Trump’s appearance at a wake Thurs for slain #NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller.
Charles & Kenneth Sicknick on Fri expressed condolences to Diller’s family, but said #Trump’s appearance, especially the #PressConference outside a funeral home, was nothing but an #inappropriate#PoliticalStunt.
(“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned … It has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”)
Funny — the journalists who spoke up said McDaniel’s departure was required to
🔸preserve their journalistic mission and the network’s credibility,
🔸not out of any need for “alignment.”
We can only hope that NBC and other news organizations take away something more than “don’t hire a MAGA mouthpiece”
A few ideas:
• Create a #mission#statement that affirms your goals are telling the #truth and defending #democracy, which protects the First Amendment — not fake balance. • #Stop#pretending four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump and his movement are presenting #alternative “#policies” as a normal party would. They are fighting for an alternate system: authoritarianism. • Politicians’ outright #lies must be identified, not just labeled as their “response” or “position.” • Instead of obsessing over #polls, devote extensive coverage to #analyzing the Heritage Foundation’s “#Project2025” and Trump’s #fascist#agenda. Feature #historians and political #scientists during news segments (not only on panels) to put Trump’s views and statements in context. • #Don’t excerpt a few words from a Trump rally or speech, dub it an “argument” and #ignore his mental short-circuits and #deteriorating#intellect.
