Malinformation

Let's consider misinformation (lies), disinformation (a Soviet term, calqued) and lately malinformation - which best I can tell is truth which governments don't want us to know. I saw a few books around the Barnes this past week. Two concerned policing: American Autopsy riffing on George Floyd (among others); and Sedition Hunters. If you read these, then you might think we should run our police from the new building which our new Christian Speaker of the House wants to build.

You don't hate Jesus, do you?

Anyway, George Floyd might have died from an abnormal adrenaline spike, mostly caused by his unhealthy body, not by the restraints.

And of course we got Media Matters playing Killgore Trout, planting Nazi memes into search-results to make X look toxic (when X still hasn't reinstated - say - Vox Day).

January 6 is admittedly a tougher call. The 2020 election was "fortified"; there remain serious Questions about Maricopa's balloting. Trump's base had every reason to smell a rat, and some reason to visit DC for the ratification. Maybe some of the "paraders" were let into the Capitol. Sure, the cops fired teargas at the wrong guys. To all that I (continue to) say - so what? Bad actors did dwell in the crowd and, if Epps might have been a Fed, at least Brian Mock was a spear chucker (h/t Hanania despite himself). The whole event looks like the - well, like the Floyd protests: where the peaceful protestors are human shields, wittingly or unwittingly, for terrorists. That teargas should have been taken as cue, not to riot, but to leave.

I think that we should be allowed to discuss these things without the corporate tech cartel yanking advertising from wherever these things are discussed. Kosseff's Liar In A Crowded Theater looked pretty good as a corrective.

BACKDATE 11/20 My blogging slipped again, so I'll inject this timewaster to whenever. How about "today"?
