Looks like Elon is getting away with election Interference yet again in Canada and there’s nothing any of us peons can do about it.

Pierre Poilievre will happily ride Trump’s gilded coattails all the way to complete control over Canada.

The wealthy right wing has colluded to pool their resources and buy our elections from now on, no one will stop them in future if this insidious behaviour is allowed to continue.

Will Canadians be gullible enough to let Putin’s puppet elect yet another rw foreign pawn into power with his influence and big money?

"Wir als LeserInnen / ZuschauerInnen haben uns von Juni - Oktober 2024 intensiv mit der Berichterstattung deutscher Medien, konkret mit der #tagesschau auseinandergesetzt & sehen eine Einseitigkeit zugunsten der israelischen Perspektive, als auch eine Entmenschlichung der palästinensischen Bevölkerung. Unsere Bedenken konzentrieren sich auf die Punkte"

2/ The #lies these #monsters perpetuate to and against the #American people are, I want to think as, plain as day. In fact, the #GOP sucks at #lying just as much as they #suck at telling the #truth. They are easier to read than a #drseuss #book yet so many people fall for the #bullshit and #propaganda. The Olympic-grade mental gymnastics to support this #shit is only possible when one willfully abandons #criticalthinking.

The BBC are pissing in the wind. Given that people obtain much of their 'news' from social media, the sea of lies and propaganda (partly financed by the billionaires who are running the show) will gradually drown the truth.

The Guardian · BBC says it has complained to Apple over AI-generated fake news attributed to broadcasterBy Guardian staff reporter

“The American #fascists are most easily recognised by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and #propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity .…They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the #Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”

- Vice President Henry A. Wallace, April 9, 1944.

Now that #KariLake has been appointed to run #VoiceOfAmerica it's worth reading this article about what happened to that organization under the "leadership" of #MichaelPack (a colleague of #JohnEastman at #ClaremontInstitute) during the last Trump administration.

#VOA also has a Mastodon account @VOANews so we'll be able to watch Ms. Lake spew #propaganda in real time.

Russia’s propaganda machine is running roughshod in Canada policyoptions.irpp.org/magazin “A key issue we are facing in Canada is the difficulty distinguishing between #Russian #propaganda and well-informed, constructive debate. As propaganda gets absorbed into everyday discourse, our democratic debates are reframed and made increasingly inflammatory. Polarization occurs. (1/2)

Policy OptionsRussia’s propaganda machine is running roughshod in CanadaMoscow’s disinformation is often shared unwittingly by Canadians who don’t know its origin or purpose. Canada needs to fight it with stronger actions.

/1 Need to mention:

1. Homelessness (despite SCOTUS' City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson) is NOT a crime; homeless people have right to exist, live somewhere, freely.

2. Addiction (despite populist whining of shills like Pierre Poilievre - Canadian leader of official opposition / presumptive next Prime Minister) is a medical/public health issue, not a criminal issue.

Natto Thoughts: Bluesky Should Outsmart China's Public Opinion Monitoring Tools to Safeguard Public Discourse
Guest contributor Eugenio Benincasa (from the Center for Security Studies at ETH Zurich) explores how Chinese threat actors have taken advantage of the diminishing safeguards at Twitter to interfere with the information environment. They explore key systems used by the Chinese government and private companies to monitor public opinion on both domestic and U.S.-based social media. With the constant migration from Twitter to Bluesky and Chinese state media poised to adopt the new platform, Bluesky can implement safeguards and transparency measures. "Bluesky has the opportunity to stay ahead of state-backed manipulation, promote authentic discourse, and position itself as a trusted and resilient platform for public debate."

Natto Thoughts · Bluesky Should Outsmart China's Public Opinion Monitoring Tools to Safeguard Public DiscourseBy Eugenio Benincasa

Watching the #media slice up their #luigimangione story and coat each morsel with the slick veneer of #propaganda their corporate interest groups require them to instill really saddens me at the loss of the boring news coverage of my youth.

Maybe it's not propagandized and it's just my extremely jaded, cynical view of the world, but it really reads that way.

The articles from the main sites, the CNNs, MSNBCs, etc. all are focusing on how his family has money, how he comes from privilege, how he went to great schools.

All I see is them trying to make him unlikable.

Look at the first round of reporting. I don't think they knew what to make of the public response that not only didn't balk at him shooting a #ceo but full-on praised him and attacked #uhc broadly and #brianthompson specifically for contributing to the deaths of so many thousands.

It just...it feels like we responded differently than the media parent companies wanted us to respond, and so now they're ratcheting up rhetoric to steer that emotional response back to where they want it to be.

Like I said though, that just might be me looking at all of this through an extremely jaded lens. If I hadn't been the one writing this I feel like I'd be inclined to dismiss it as just another old white dude on the internet with conspiracy theories. Certainly no judgement on my part if you dismiss this as I *am* just another old white dude on the Internet.

But damn...it just feels manipulative and try as I might, I can't shake the feeling that it's all intentional because folks responded in an unplanned way. I'm curious if I'm not the only one seeing it that way.
