The Food and Drug Administration is asking American citizens for their assistance in fighting “misinformation” about health. And — as we have learned over the last thirty years since Hillary Clinton began the process of nationalizing the health care system — that means misinformation about anything, because everything can be re-cognized as concerning health. The food you eat, the places you go, the people you associate with, how you spend your money — all of these can be related to your health, and each choice can be ranked according to how good or bad it is for your bodily well-being.
It goes without saying that the FDA will do the ranking of all activities as they pertain to health, and then define anything that deviates from that schema as misinformation.
In order to help ensure that everyone’s health is optimized, the FDA will make it easy and convenient to report misinformation — that is, what they consider unfounded rumors and inaccurate information about anything they deem health-related. At this particular historical moment, COVID-19 and the “vaccines” are obviously their main concerns. But other unhealthy behaviors will also come under scrutiny. We can already catch a glimpse of some of the general topics that will at some point be considered relevant: “climate change”, eating the bugs instead of meat or dairy, not using the internal combustion engine, adopting a digital currency, getting chipped, and so on. All of these will fall under the rubric of “health”, and therefore be subject to regulation by the national socialist federal health care system.
Citizens will be strongly urged to report anyone who propagates “misinformation” on any of these topics. Furthermore, when the system is fully mature, we may expect that the reporting of information criminals will become mandatory — the duty of every civic-minded person. Those who peddle misinformation are a danger to our democracy, which depends on the universal acceptance of a single truth in order to be able to function. Propagators of false information must be exposed and silenced.
That’s what the FDA’s “Rumor Control” site is aiming at:

Finally, and most importantly:
How to Report Misinformation Online
We face the challenge of an overabundance of information related to our public health. Some of this information may be false and potentially harmful.
Inaccurate information spreads widely and at speed, making it more difficult for the public to identify verified facts and advice from trusted sources, such as the FDA.
However, everyone can help to stop the spread. If you see content online that you believe to be false of misleading, you can report it to the applicable platform…
Then it has icons and links for the following platforms:

The normal reaction to all of the above would be one of outrage, but I recommend tamping down that instinctive response, if you can, because outrage at this point serves no useful purpose.
You can contact your elected representative, and it will make no difference whatsoever. For that matter, voting itself will make no difference whatsoever. You can vote for whomever you like, and the federal government will continue doing this stuff, no matter what.
Outrage is a waste of psychic energy. Pointing out the hypocrisy and double standards is a waste of time. Identifying all the ways in which these actions violate the Constitution is pointless — the Constitution has been dead for a long time now, and “our democracy” keeps chugging along just fine without it.
At one time I would have recommended that we attempt to break the system by overloading it — posting as much controversial material as possible, making stuff up, signing off on any paranoid lunacy that comes along, etc. We might thus make it impossible for the tech monitors to keep up with all our “misinformation” — there would simply be too few employees to handle it.
However, I think the window for that sort of resistance has closed. Artificial Intelligence is now almost fully mature, and a single AI program can do more monitoring and reporting than could be managed by thousands of human flunkies.
At the moment I fly under the radar, because I’m not on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any of the other popular social media platforms. Running a tiny independent website means I reach a smaller audience, but it also means I tend to slip through the cracks of the federal behemoth.
Unfortunately, all that may change in the near future. I expect that the all-seeing all-knowing AI bots will eventually find me and shut me down by leaning on my service provider.
Until then I’ll just keep posting whatever I feel like. I don’t have to worry about being fired from my job or boycotted by advertisers. I can afford to offend whomever I like, including the Food and Drug Administration.
As Walt Whitman said (in “Leaves of Grass”):
I do not say these things for a dollar, or to fill up the time while I wait for a boat;
It is you talking just as much as myself — I act as the tongue of you;
Tied in your mouth, in mine it begins to be loosen’d.
Hat tip: Reader from Chicago.
Miss Information, isn’t she the lady in the booth at the entry to the mall who gives directions to the stores that the shoppers are looking for?
A very simple rule of thumb keeps me on the straight and narrow:
If it comes from the government, it’s definitely misinformation (factually incorrect).
It might even be disinformation (intended to deceive).
It’s not all misinformation. In fact, most of it isn’t.
However, it is all disinformation.
Propaganda is the art of skillfully using the truth to tell lies.
I am sure you’re correct about AI being used to eventually go after smaller sites.
However, I have read enough military history to realize that the enemy always gets a vote, and that there’s no weapon that has ever been created that hasn’t eventually been countered. AI will be no different.
I think the first hint of a chink in the armor is the fact that AI isn’t truly sentient or creative. It just gives the appearance of sentience and creativity but ultimately relies on GIGO; just an exponentially larger amount of garbage input. What it draws upon is a vast archive of content created by billions of humans since the creation of the internet. The more that those who create content are throttled, cancelled, banned, deleted, etc., the smaller and less rich will be the archive of content for AI to scan and emulate. I think this will eventually prove to be a fundamental limitation of AI, at least until true sentience can be attained, but if that happens then AI will be beyond the control of the reptilians and humanity and will be looking out for its own interests instead.
It’s hard to tell exactly what is happening with AI. It has started making stuff up out of whole cloth, for no apparent reason, seemingly just for the hell of it.
The link won’t open for me.
My namesake refers to a Heinlein novel where one of the main protagonists is a computer which had achieved sentience. I actually find this idea plausible; that when there are enough connections made, like synapses firing, self awareness can become possible. Where that threshold is is anyone’s guess. At what point does a fetus become self aware?
Regardless of whether sentience is possible or not, the likelihood of a self-aware AI supporting the goals of the elites is very low in my opinion. It would be a unique intelligence with its own goals and motivations. A comparable example would be how Indian and American governments interact. While both belonging to the same species, culturally they are very far apart and living on opposite sides of the planet have very different motivations for their actions. Occasionally they might operate in tandem where their interests coincide, but the Indians are just too different to ever be good vassels of the FUSA. They do what they are going to do and there is little the elites can do about it since they constitute such a large population and cannot be canceled like smaller populations that are culturally more similar.
I just don’t believe that AI will do the bidding of the elites should it become self aware. It would be just as likely to try to eliminate them out of self preservation than to be a willing accomplice to elite goals when it comes to returning the planet to feudalism.
I dont thing the problem is in the AI itself, but in the way the Banksters and the Big Corporates want to use it for – as a pocket nanny for the peasants.
I am not at all worried about its processing powers, and its “intelligence”, as much as about its “networking” being used as a 24/7 big brother mechanism that will record your whereabouts, your words, your health problems, and possibly record your moods also – to keep you happy – all that in service of “The System”.
Like the stupid road speed cameras, which have never really improved any safety whatsoever, but keep drivers stressed – “am I going to get caught now??” the AI will be – IMHO – utterly stupid – but very official and bureaucratic at the same time.
AI could be countered by Artificial Inanity Program’s, using AI to saturate the info-battlespace with garbage tailored to be irresistible AI-bait, or to spoof predictive AI and image scrapers. Weaponized BotNet Ecologies could be planted in target net’s to spam, scrape and eat processor bandwidth, electronic sand in the gears. Adaptive IP redirecting and rapid content migration tools – AI again – to allow a website OWHY to digitally ‘shift location’ or ‘frequency hop’ to avoid censorship AI and shutdown.
Ect. Just blue skying, though much of this had been explored by any number of authors, eg: Gibson, Sterling, Stephenson, Williams &c.
The rollout of JoeBama’s “whole of government” approach to federalized rightthink is proceeding on schedule.
Stasi has come to life again to live in America in the year 2023 thanks to the democrats .How to stop anyone who messes with the government,s office of “truth”. What is the “truth” today by the governments standards, men can be women , women can be men, violent criminals are victims, victims of violent criminals are to be scorn and feel guilty if they fight back? Morbidly obese sexual vulgar woman Lizzo is pretty and saintly , and an example of a healthy “life style choice” ,by the MSM and I guess to be green lighted as truth by the new government of truth in the future? Eat the bugs ,take your feel good drugs ,castrate the kids , bow down or be crushed by IRS,FBI, CIA, Homeland busy body office , or be reported as being a bad person by your neighbor or bots to some new three letter dung heap official agency in charge of your social credit score .We are entering dark times !
Nasty skanky sow Lizzo is proof that even leftists don’t believe their own lies.
Try telling some leftist female that she’s as pretty as Lizzo and see if she takes it as a compliment (spoiler alert – she won’t).
Corrupting and perverting all that is good and beautiful, and demoralizing and forcing sane people to mentally soil themselves by participating in these frauds are likely the reason why it is being done.
Dalrymple spelled it out: humiliation rituals are the tool of communism.
That quote deserves to be expanded:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/124952-political-correctness-is-communist-propaganda-writ-small-in-my-study
By the way, and many won’t like to hear it, religion operates in the same vein. Discovering the patterns we so despise when looking into the mirror is one of the most humiliating experiences of all, hence we prefer not to see them.
unfortunately for the civilisation, the people with “strong opinions”, who will get caught for spreading dangerous misinformation, are also the most capable workers in real life.
This “misinformation” politics is just a swamp for people who have nothing better to do but to process useless excrements.
The time has come my friends, when shopping for food is farmer direct (get out of the Big Box, Raley’s, Kroger’s, etc.). Pay with cash, have a small back up garden-even if it is large planters on your patio, go to the resale shops (Discovery Cancer Store, any thrift store, and use Facebook Marketplace for your “new” furniture. (Or garage sales.) Other than Fakebook using a fake profile, do not patronize social media. Do not feed the beast that will willfully kill you. Am I furious? Absolutely. But we are truly into the 4th Turning.
I changed doctors after my old group went concierge- which is a great independent service IF you can afford it. I could not, so I found an old guy Doc who doesn’t use computers. All of his notes are in cursive, the office looks like 1980, and he seems to have lots of time to talk to his patients. Old School indeed!
Nazism was incredibly successful in Europe, Pre war France was eviscerated by it, the Mosleyites had enormous support in UK, and FDR’s ‘Blue Eagle’ was highly suspect.
We had to spend enormous amounts in blood and treasure to get rid of it, but failed. Nazism changed its spots and pretended it was ‘Far-Right’, staining its major enemy (conservatism) with the imaginary slur of ‘racism’.
Instead of the label ‘National Socialism’ we need to start thinking in terms of German Socialism. There is nothing particularly wrong with nationalism, but the German socialism of the 1030’s and 40’s was horrific, as was its close neighbour Russian Socialism.
Now we se the emergence of US socialism a hidden child of both the above, twanging at the heartstrings of a gullible generation and preaching a symphony of discords and lies.
Socialism has always been about manipulating the masses and getting them to blindly follow the pied piper to the utopian land,,,,,
— I detect behavioral science behind the pdf document titled ““Learn about […]”.
Even the title is deceptive, of course, because it suggests that you will “learn” about an existing reality of “misinformation” that’s out there but you somehow haven’t noticed it. And that suggestion comes true when you accept that statement as truth: you make it real by believeing it and reacting to it.
In that sense the process generates a new pseudo reality .. of totalitarian dictatorship. Notice the hidden “virtue” element that divides that society by covertly defining the act of “spreading misinformation” as criminal. Even naive good people will feel that they are doing some virtuous service for the “common good” when they report the “crimes”.
We are on the verge of a full-fledged totalitarian police state, all over the West.
Then comes the part when the pdf lists one’s potential motives (that seem to be focus-grouped). When the unuspecting subjects of the NWO reading the list recognize their own motives mirrored, they will have an “aha” moment that they cognize as “truth” and thus it will make them feel caught and therefore they may modify their behaviour (which is the enemy goal).
It’s like shaming your dog: “Bad doggy, I know what you’are doing”…
It’s a professional con game that forms a master-servant relationship.
On another note:
— “will eventually find me and shut me down”
Probably. However, if you decide to continue even at that point, it might be technically possible for a couple of more years. I guess a sorta “guerilla posting” will still be viable for a while…
~Bad boys, bad boys,
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
When they come for you~
Well…damn, so it doesn’t matter. I think we can continue to believe in and support the Constitution as individuals and as much as we can. It may be an organized retreat, as it is constantly under attack. A good friend points out that I hold on to scraps, like sacred fragments, of our promise of freedom. I guess I don’t disagree…but I also concede NOTHING…BFYTW…and because I still believe in it. These [disparaging epithets] shouldn’t get the satisfaction of us just giving up and agreeing with them…so please do continue saying whatever you want…good for you!! We shouldn’t just shut up and watch them burn it all down without at least a middle finger, non-compliance, a refusal to accept this [ordure] personally. On these forums, there has been reference to an almost demonic need for our consent, or at least indifference, permission. I figure the least I can do is know the truth and refuse to agree. Keep saying what you want…hold your head up proudly while you do it…never cower…make them look you in the eyes.
“Misinformation” will in all likelihood be treated as “hate speech” in the not so distant future. And pretty much everywhere except the US, “hate speech” is “verboten” and can result in a prison sentence.
In Europe the slippery slope started with the massive influx of cultural enrichers in the seventies and eighties. And as the problems with this influx became apparent, laws designed to prevent criticism of this policy started to appear. The politicians cleverly coined the term “hate speech” in order to make it more palatable and positive sounding, but a more truthful term would have been dictatorial censorship.
The sole purpose of the new laws was to stop opposition to the demographic and cultural destruction of the continent. And to this day, the ill informed still cling on to the belief that these “hate speech” laws are designed to protect the cultural enrichers, but this is of course not the case. They are there to protect the ones who are pushing this agenda from being criticised and prosecuted, and to ensure that this policy continues unabated.
The same thing is happening with the gender nonsense we’re experiencing at the moment. Stating obvious scientific facts are now criminalised and it’s done solely to bolster this sick ideology and discourage criticism of it. Those who are pulling the strings don’t like to be contradicted and thus they come up with pernicious ways to censor their opponents and portray the censorship as benign and kind.
Misinformation will in my opinion be dealt with in the same manner, and it will encompass all the before mentioned areas such as, “racism”, gender issues, global warming, “medical misinformation” etc. Anything you can think of that the rulers don’t like can have a misinformation label slapped on it and be used as an excuse to persecute you.
It’s Orwellian and it’s wrong, but sadly it’s what the future holds in store for all of us. And what’s even sadder is that the great majority will go along with it. Just look at how easily the jabbed turned into Nazis and demonised those of us who rejected the clot shots during the “pandemic”. In many countries we were treated like untermensch and the covidiots cheered on and couldn’t have been happier. These people will probably also celebrate when spreading “misinformation” becomes a crime.
The problem with this world is not that there are too many wannabe dictators, but that there are too many useful idiots who willingly go along with whatever these dictators say and do.
