Abusing the ABC News' World News section to run globalist advertising. Piss off!
[From the article to be diffused.]

AI Scary This and OMG Bullshit That
To further the most recently issued dogma proselytized by the globalists of the World Economic Forum in Davos, the editor of ABC News, Justin Stevens, has sought fit to publish a poorly hidden piece of PR.
The recent article on DisARM by Bob Bishop republished at Larry Johnson's "Son of the New American Revolution" about the latest product by the military intelligence infested "disinformation" industry had my sensors on alert. The 2000 word piece of advertising authorized by Stevens warrants this newsletter descending into media criticism to emphasize just how pernicious the WEF/Davos agenda is, and how easily it can be detonated.
Let’s diffuse this stinking, hot mess. 😀
To save you having to read the refuse, here's the TL;DR:
A man in a hoodie in India is resisting moving beyond photoshopping imagery for political parties to generating believable voices of known persons uttering phrases written by others. OMG!
The World Economic Forum wrote a report declaring that this is the worst threat of them all! We have to defend our democracies!
We spoke to some experts who expressed concern about this, particularly peeps at Meta/Facebook and some dude from the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard. They reckon we've got a problem.
Some potential solutions are presented, after 1700 words of problem description and alarm generation, which nobody is going to read.
The first thing to understand is that 'disinformation' is an industry, an industry with a totally screwed history. Its a child of ideologues getting on board cultural wedge issues as a way of controlling political narratives. The poster child was Nina Jankowicz Mary Poppins from the DHS's Disinformation Governance Board.
[Mary Poppins Ms. Jankowicz of the soon disbanded DGB.]
The Nazi-esque named board was quickly renamed by the department because they hadn’t consulted the correct political language experts when naming the thing and instead used their own language. They should have called it the "Kitten Loving Association of America" and nobody would have noticed. Idiots.
Seriously, everything would have been fine unless some principled journalist begun reading Senate Select Committee testimonies and started digging. Who cares if the government is using social media and technology companies to do an end run around the 1st amendment by censoring political speech? Oh. The EFF and the ACLU. Yeah, but nobody listens to them, do they?
A standard strategy is being used by the disinfo dickheads. It has been demonstrated previously by the content controllers. The term "Intellectual Property" is rolled out now and then to muddy the waters around three totally separate pieces of legislation for three entirely different purposes. They are: Trademarks to prevent customer confusion in commercial markets, Patents to provide limited monopolies to incentivize innovation and Copyright to provide limited monopolies to encourage the creative arts. There is no "Intellectual Property".
Similarly, there is no "disinformation". Its a collective term which blurs the meaning of various existing specific terms. The whole shitshow got under way with the rubbishing of Trump and introduction of "Propornot" with the term "Fake news". Fake is an excellent term, and fake news is a great way of labeling propaganda in the news media. In the realm of reputation we have slander, libel and defamation. In the case of impersonation we have fraud. These problems have been under consideration forever and relevant legislation is on the books. It may need to some revision, but there is no need to create a whole new lexicon of rubbish terms, like disinformation and deepfake, and beat up a panic about something as well understood as lying and political influence.
Beneath the "threat of disinformation to democracy" are two very nasty assumptions.
The first is that stupid people need to be protected by smart people. Piss off. Everybody gets to vote, irrespective of how they think. If these ideologues would like to have an argument about intelligence I'd be inclined to refer to the parable of "The Emperor's New Clothes". Secondly, each "democracy" will approach the well known problem of political influence via fraud or slander however they see fit. These WEF agenda supporting acolytes can take their global threat implying a global solution and stick it where the sun don't shine. These shills are running a Problem, Reaction, Solution campaign, and us plebs have seen this shit before.
So, Justin Stevens, piss off with this this disinformation industry advertising PR bullshit, aka carrying water for the WEF globalists, and get back to reporting the news.
