*As "our free press" ramps up its loyal service as Big Pharma's Ministry of Truth, * *it's doing an ever cruder version of the Propaganda Two-Step, which you perform * *by **pumping out Big Lies non-stop, while also blacking out and/or defaming anyone * *who **dares to contradict or question them. *
*We have an excellent example of the latter tactic in this wad of excrement from * *Buzzfeed, **hurled at six "spin doctors" (i.e., dissident **physicians), two "5G conspiracy * *theorists," **and two of "the misquoted" **(two doctors whom Buzzfeed's minions couldn't * *find a **way to tar outright). * *What makes it such a good example is the blatancy of its key features. Note, first,* *that it does not even address, much less refute, any of the information offered,* *and/or arguments presented, by **the heretics. Instead of actually rebutting what * *they've said or written, this hit-piece (along with countless others) smears **the * *heretics themselves, with mere insulting epithets and vicious mockery. * *Such propaganda must rely primarily on slander and derision, because what * *those * *dissidents **have said, about COVID-19 and/or 5G, is either true or highly plausible—* *which means that the Official Narratives in question are untenable. This is why* *such hit-pieces are so nakedly authoritarian, "debunking" its targets just by **telling * *us "what the authorities have said." * *Thus this piece baldly tells its readers what to think (or, rather, what to feel,* *since there's no thought involved), and how to serve as individual vectors* *of the propaganda; and so it isn't just a catalogue of smears, concocted* *to discourage anyone from looking into what those targeted have had to* *say. It also functions as a sort of script, providing Buzzfeed's followers* *with ammo to be used on "social media," and/or in fights with any infidels* *among their friends or family.* *Although the number, unanimity and virulence of such attacks is something* *new (and grounds for seeing it as a sign of desperation), **the basic strategy * *is over half-a-century old, as it was the CIA that first weaponized **the epithet * *"conspiracy theorist" back in 1967, in its memo #1035-960, sent out to CIA* *station chiefs worldwide to enlist their help in smearing critics of the Warren* *Report, not just by calling them "conspiracy theorists," but also by deploying* *one or more of several (what we would call) talking points against them. * *What we're seeing today is a streamlining of that process. Whereas, back* *then, the CIA encouraged its media assets to defame those questioning* *the Official Narrative (of JFK's assassination), so that readers would then* *doubt the honesty or sanity of those dissenters, **today, the culture having * *largely **moved online, the propaganda aims **directly at its audience, inviting * *them to spread its toxin all throughout **the tissues of the nation, by parroting * *the memes of the Official Narrative **(of COVID-19, **5G, vaccination and whatever * *else the powers behind the **propaganda want the rest of us swallow). * *Here, for your convenience and enlightenment, is a list of dissidents re:* *COVID-19, its origins, and/or the policies and practices now being used to * *"cure" it. This is just a **start on such a list, nor do I necessarily agree with* *everything on this list have either said or written—but they have every* *right to speak their piece, and those of us who care to know what's really * *going **should give them a fair hearing, and think about it for ourselves.* *John Ioannidis* *Knut Wittkowski* *David L.
