What Actually IS "Disinformation"?
Jacob Siegel unravels the hoax like no other author has...
I never listen to the radio now. I listen to classical music, old Proms from way-back-when - well, more specifically when the BBC was a respectable media sponsor. Uh hum. And many podcasts - pretty much anytime I’m in the car and sometimes at home too. With so much high quality content nowadays, I often hastily skip through to the next one, the next one, and again….searching for something that answers my endless curiosity about this dreadful mess we’re in. (BTW I have listed many of my favourites here)
One of my go-to podcasts is Demitri Kofinas on Hidden Forces, and although he isn’t entirely red-pilled (yet) and frustratingly babbles on with his questions for far too long, preventing his guests from getting to their point, the latest interview with American writer and veteran Jacob Siegel was particularly intriguing.
Jacob has recently published this amazing piece of journalism in The Tablet magazine, which went viral (apparently). It dissects the philosophical issues of what the phrase “mis/disinformation” IS and how it has been used by those in positions of power against citizens, for longer than many of us have realised. It reminded me of Steven Poole’s seminal book on this topic in 2006, Unspeak. For instance, remember when foods could be ‘Genetically Engineered’ but then we were given the slightly more consumer-palatable label “Genetically Modified” and then slowly, simply the innocuous-sounding “GM”? Mmmm…

The crux of his argument is that the phrases, mis- and dis-information are a social construct. Very Orwellian. He asks:
How can we reclaim our language and overcome this propaganda war?
I’m currently writing a piece which has evolved from my contribution to a book about how and why people ‘wake up’, available here:
…which is connected to my awareness of the playbook used by New Zealand Government entities to try to defame and discredit those who have been speaking-out against aerial poisoning of our environment for a long time - more than 60 years.
This makes me wonder whether actually New Zealand has been a pilot project (along with many other Globalist narratives), where public behaviours have been monitored and manipulated to progress a tyrannical political agenda.
More to follow on this, but I felt the need to share this important article, which would have been more widely talked about had Tucker not been fired, and the author thereby been allowed a platform, as scheduled…
