THE DISINFORMATION DOZEN

Di


The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) -- authors of "The Disinformation Dozen" -- worked in tandem with U.S. and foreign governments and Big Tech to "launder the suppression of basic civil rights" and suppress free speech, according to an independent journalist, Sayer Ji, founder of GreenMedInfo, listed as one of "The Disinformation Dozen"...

According to Sayer Ji, CCDH planned to launch "black ops" against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald J. Trump's nominee for secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and founder of Children's Health Defense (CHD). 

Ji said "the attempt to adjudicate and criminalize speech" is part of CCDH's "dark agenda". Such speech includes narratives about vaccine injury or references to peer-reviewed research that might point to unintended vaccine side effects.

Efforts to target so-called "misinformation" date back several years before the COVID-19 pandemic, "in 2013, when UNICEF published a report that identified several voices in the natural health space, including those who, of course, advocated for informed medical choice, as being sources of disinformation," Ji said. 

Several other people and websites named in the UNICEF report were also included in the "Disinformation Dozen" list, Ji said, including Dr. Joseph Mercola and Ohio physician Dr. Sherri Tenpenny.

Ji said his investigation found a network of U.S. and U.K. philanthropic organizations funding CCDH, including one linked to investor George Soros.

This dark money network "tracks back to the State Department through the Global Engagement Center [and] the U.K. Department of Digital Culture, Media and Sport", whose Counter-Disinformation Unit gave the Biden administration "a masterclass on censoring U.S. citizens".

"This is the most egregious example I could ever conceive of a foreign government using our own highest governmental apparatus as … a marionette to censor U.S. citizens", Ji said. "They actually gave them an entire roadmap of how they were using their own Counter-Disinformation Unit to suppress true information".

Ji referenced Thacker and Taibbi's revelations, stemming from internal CCDH documents leaked by an insider last month. He said the leak exposed CCDH's "Orwellian agenda", where "you're projecting that you're concerned about the public welfare" while targeting citizens who are "lawfully expressing their civil rights."

The documents show that CCDH is "operating in this gray area, which is known as 'black operations', which are all about plausible deniability, leveraging military -- sometimes paramilitary, definitely intelligence assets -- to discredit, defame, disrupt, perhaps use lawfare [and] demonetization strategies," Ji said.

"In some cases, it even stretches into illegal activities, which could include harming that individual," Ji added. "This digital hit list [CCDH] published … was to intimidate millions of others who might have spoken out or might have questioned some of these authoritarian mandates and made better choices for themselves."

For organizations like CCDH, "the next step is legislation, and that's to criminalize free speech".

Tra il dire e il fare c'è di mezzo più di un milione di euro: 1,2, per l'esattezza. A tanto ammonta, infatti, la riduzione del fondo che serve a risarcire le persone che hanno subito danni a causa di una vaccinazione obbligatoria.

Australia is the first country to set the minimum age of social media access to 16, after a landmark bill passed in the Senate.

Backed by both major parties, the ground-breaking legislation “seeks to set a new normative value in society that accessing social media is not the defining feature of growing up in Australia,” said Communications Minister Michelle Rowland.

TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X, and Instagram are among the platforms that will face fines of up to $50 million (USD $33 million) for systemic failures to prevent under-16s from holding accounts when the laws come into effect, 12 months from now.

Exemptions will allow teens under-16s to still access health and education related services - Headspace, YouTube, Google Classroom - as well as messaging services and online games.

“It's about making sure children have a childhood and parents have peace of mind”, said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, assuring Australian parents, “We’ve got your back”.

Australia’s move to keep kids and teens off social media has been lauded internationally, including by prominent author Jonathan Haidt, whose book The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness raised the alarm over the harms of excessive smartphone and social media use to young people’s mental health, particularly in girls.

The letter, sent by DHS Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Eric Hysen to the immigrant rights group Just Futures Law, revealed that the score calculates the potential risk that an immigrant — with a pending case — will fail to check in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. 

The algorithm relies on several factors, he said, including an immigrant’s number of violations and length of time in the program, and whether the person has a travel document. ICE officers consider the score, among other information, when making decisions about an immigrant’s case.

Also included in the government’s tool kit is a mobile app called SmartLINK that uses facial matching and can track an immigrant’s specific location.

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court sought an arrest warrant for the country’s army leader, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, accusing him of crimes against humanity linked to the persecution and deportations of the Muslim Rohingya.

The request for the court’s judges to issue a warrant marks a rare effort by international institutions to hold the Myanmar military accountable for its actions against civilians. Mr. Khan said that after conducting an extensive investigation, his office has concluded “that there are reasonable grounds to believe” that General Min Aung Hlaing bears criminal responsibility for the crimes of deportation and persecution of the Rohingya.

Ms. Pelicot’s ex-husband of 50 years, Dominique Pelicot, has pleaded guilty to drugging her for almost a decade to rape her, and offering her unconscious body up to strangers he met online. 

He’s on trial with 50 other men — all but one charged with aggravated rape, attempted rape or sexual assault of Ms. Pelicot. The French media have dubbed them “Monsieur Tout-le-monde” — Mr. Every Man — because of how varied the men are, and how ordinary.

Newly unearthed fossils, including a nearly complete cranium of Anadoluvius turkae from Turkey, have shifted the focus to Europe as a potential birthplace of hominines. These findings not only highlight the diversity of apes in the region but also suggest a migration pathway that challenges traditional theories of human ancestry.

Our records of the human genome may still be missing tens of thousands of 'dark' genes. These hard-to-detect sequences of genetic material can code for tiny proteins, some involved in disease processes like cancer and immunology, a global consortium of researchers has confirmed.

The new international study shows our library of human genes very much continues to be a work in progress, as more subtle genetic features are picked up with advances in technology, and as continued exploration uncovers gaps and errors in the record.


These overlooked genes have been hiding away in regions of our DNA thought not to code for proteins. These regions were once dismissed as 'junk DNA' but it turns out small bits of these sequences are still being used as instructions for mini-proteins.




The study proved that entanglement can generate useful energy. The team analyzed more than 10,000 experiments using calcium ions and found that increased levels of entanglement created improved mechanical efficiency.

Like quantum computers, these “engines” powered by entanglement only operate at temperatures approaching absolute zero.

As of last week, the total sales figure stood at $863.9 million—up from $500 million in August, according to data from the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). The state is set to surpass the billion-dollar sales mark by the end of December, officials predict.

“These numbers clearly indicate that New York is open for business”, John Kagia, OCM’s policy director, told the New York Post, which first reported the impending $1 billion milestone.

The documentary features some unbelievable leaked footage from the police investigation into the prime minister. Given the recent new allegations of wartime misconduct in the Prime Minister's Office, is a frightening behind-the-scenes look at Netanyahu and his close circle, and the erosion of Israel's democratic institutions.

The powerful figures depicted include the late billionaire Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam, who was a top Trump donor this presidential election cycle. Also featured are Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan and his former aide Hadas Klein, and Iris and Shaul Elovitch. The latter pair are co-defendants in one part of Netanyahu's corruption trial, where he faces charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.

Adattamento dell’omonimo memoir di Azar Nafisi, diretto da , arriva al cinema in un momento cruciale per il movimento Donna Vita Libertà.

Così come nell’opera letteraria, il regista sceglie di mantenere il sottotitolo, "A Memoir in Books" e la divisione in quattro parti.
Le donne di cui parla sono esistite veramente, con altri nomi, e hanno davvero rischiato la loro vita pur di poter affermare la loro esistenza, la loro volontà e la loro libertà attraverso il semplice atto di leggere un libro proibito.

A new documentary charting Madonna‘s rise to stratospheric fame is an “immersive, archive-driven film” built around a cache of recently uncovered audio tapes in which a young Madonna reflects on her life and career. The doc will also feature intimate interviews with family, friends and collaborators, some of whom have never spoken in a documentary before..

Follow the period of 1978 to 1992 as she transformed herself from a 19-year-old outsider to one of the biggest pop stars in the world, sparking controversy with the publication of her erotic photography book Sex. Through her fiery conflicts with the conservative establishment in the ’80s and ’90s, the film powerfully evokes a time where traditional views on sexuality and gender roles were being audaciously challenged and Madonna was always at the vanguard.
