The UK government is secretly paying foreign YouTube stars to publish “propaganda” videos.

A three-year investigation has found that online influencers are made to sign legal contracts banning them from disclosing the government’s involvement.

Whitehall officials give “feedback” on each video before the influencers are allowed to publish them.

These four stickers are just the ones that caught my eye on the way back home from the office in the “leftist” district of Linden, in the city of Hannover.

  • Antifa supports Israel”, somehow implying that the actions of Israel are an antifascist struggle.
  • The Mossad logo, but instead of Hebrew it says “Nazihunter”, implying the people Mossad is hunting are Nazis.
  • Antisemites International” in the style of the Amnesty International logo, implying that the report of the global human rights organization, classifying Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide, is somehow antisemitic.
  • Defend Israel” in the style of the Jurassic Park logo (???) whilst depicting an IDF Merkava tank in the background, implying that Israel's genocide is somehow defense. These tanks have never been used on Israel's soil.

This is what I have to deal with every day.

@ErikUden

So you honestly think that the German left is the only left-wing group on the entire planet to advocate Israel's victory and to be in favour of the genocide in Gaza?

At no point do you say to yourself that left-wing imagery is taken up by the far right to advocate the opposite of what it is supposed to stand for?

which is a modus operandi of the far right, in Germany as everywhere else on the planet?

#Disinformation: #SocialSecurity email praising Trump’s tax bill is a lie

The #SSA sent an email claiming Trump’s bill eliminated taxes on benefits for most recipients.

The reconciliation bill–which #Trump called the #OneBigBeautifulBill before signing it after #Republicans in #Congress passed it–will strip people of their #HealthInsurance, cut #FoodAssistance for the #poor, kill off #CleanEnergy development & raise the #NationalDebt by trillions.

Verwerpelijke CIDI-propaganda en meer

"Naomi Mestrum, directeur van het #CIDI (lees de Nederlandse Israël-lobby) heeft een opiniestuk geschreven in het Algemeen Dagblad. Dat dit stuk door het AD is geplaatst is een grote schande, maar het stuk zelf is een nog grotere schande, dus laat ik me daarop richten. …"

Absolutely fucking disgusted by the #US #Government right now. Wasting #tax #payer #dollars on this bullshit #propaganda all while taking away fund for the most vulnerable. Happy 4th of July EVERYONE! Welcome to the bullshit #dictatorship we've supposedly been fighting for 100 years. I am shaking I'm so pissed right now.

Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.

Al-Monitor: Tech-fueled misinformation distorts Iran-Israel fighting. “AI deepfakes, video game footage passed off as real combat, and chatbot-generated falsehoods — such tech-enabled misinformation is distorting the Israel-Iran conflict, fueling a war of narratives across social media.”

Republican and russian disinformation warfare or active measures.

Disinformation, psychological warfare "PsyOp" will continue to increase for the next six months to influence the #2024election.

It's literally impossible to contend with all the stupid. These propagandists won't stop. It's about volume. Every second of every day it will be some new conspiracy theory.. Their goal is to shred the judiciary and elevate the unitary executive. They're fascists. Vote for democrats.

We know their game. Please boost.

This is what argentinian tv does to your brain, and I don't even like this lady.

Imagine CNN doing a recreation of Biden's house with schematics, legos and playmobil pieces indicating all the access/exit points and security blindspots.

Like the only people who could take advantage among viewers would be the sickos trying to kill her (again).

The #disinformation also added to the confusion over what exactly was happening on the streets, which was portrayed in digital & #SocialMedia [& #RightWing news #media] through starkly divergent #ideological lenses. Many posts created the false impression that the entire city was engulfed in violence, when the few clashes were limited to only very small parts.

Misleading photos, videos & texts have spread widely on social #media as #protests against #immigration #raids unfolded in #LosAngeles, rehashing old conspiracy theories‘ to support #Trump’s actions.

The flood of falsehoods appears intended to stoke outrage toward #immigrants & #Democrats.

#Trump's Military Audience While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance

“Internal 82nd Airborne Division communications reviewed by Military.com reveal a tightly orchestrated effort to #curate the #optics of Trump's recent visit, including HANDPICKING SOLDIERS for the audience based on #political leanings & physical appearance.

One unit-level message bluntly saying: "No fat soldiers."

The latest deployments prompted a new wave of misleading images to spread—some purporting to show #Marines & the #military service’s weapons in action. One was a still from “Blue Thunder,” a 1983 action-thriller about a conspiracy to deprive residents of #LosAngeles of their civil rights. It features a climatic dogfight over the city’s downtown.

Darren L. Linvill, a researcher at Clemson University’s #Media Forensics Hub, said #conservatives online were “building up the riots in a performative way” to help bolster #Trump’s claims that #LosAngeles had been taken over by “violent, insurrectionist mobs.”

Linvill said the posts were also “a bit self-fulfilling.” “As they direct attention to it,” he said, “more #protesters will show up.”
