We must constantly encourage Westernjournalists to write precisely the opposite of our real intentions and anyone who writes or speaks about our real intentions accurately or impartially in the Western sense of these words must quickly be dismissed and ridiculed as someone of theRight or afascist, someone who wants to bring backMcCarthyism.
Ivan Agayants Explaining the benefits of disinformation. Quoted in "KGB" - Page 142 - by Brian Freemantle - Social Science - 1982.
The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information,misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun realjournalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.
Carl Bernstein.An A-Z of cultural terms,The Guardian (1992)
As I mentioned before, exposure to trueinformation does not matter anymore. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell him nothing, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. ...he will refuse to believe it... That's the tragedy of the situation ofdemoralization.
Themedia want to maintain their intimate relation tostatepower. They want to get leaks, they want to get invited to the press conferences. They want to rub shoulders with theSecretary of State, all that kind of business. To do that, you've got to play the game, and playing the game means telling their lies, serving as their disinformation apparatus.
The "Democrats" have learned from the unlamentedKGB, whose primary weapon ofdesinformatsiya, or disinformation, was a million agents whose job was to ruin the reputation of every key opponent of worldwideCommunism by making up vicious rumors and peddling them via a plethora of front organizations. The left have done their best to trash my reputation because I have dared toquestion the climate scare with which they had hoped to bully the West into shutting itself down without a shot being fired. Just look at my CreepyMedia page. I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of artful lies told over and over again by a host of paid trolls and useful idiots.
One lesson of the 2001 Tiananmen incident is that disinformation works if it is not quickly and comprehensively rebutted. It can instillfear andhatred in well‑intentioned people who believe what they see and who lack the tools to distinguish malevolent propaganda fromreality.The CCP and other tyrannicalgovernments will continue to use such tactics to sow discord and chaos in the free world if we allow them to do so.
Cooper: You know, one of those useless machines they used to make was called anMRI, and if we had one of those left thedoctors would have been able to find thecyst in my wife'sbrain, before she died instead of afterwards, and then she would've been the one sitting here, listening to this instead of me. Which would've been a good thing because she was always the ... calmer one.
The last half of the20th century will seem like awildparty forrichkids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. … "Winston Churchill said "The first casualty of War is alwaysTruth." Churchill also said "In wartime, the Truth is so precious that it should always be surrounded by a bodyguard ofLies." Thatwisdom will not be much comfort to babies born last week. The firstnews they get in this world will be News subjected toMilitaryCensorship. That is a given in wartime, along with massive campaigns of deliberately-planted "Dis-information." That is routine behavior in Wartime — for all countries and all combatants — and it makes life difficult for people who valuereal news. Count on it.
