I think your idea, about having propensity to believing lies, once you have gone down that path, is one I have thought about for many years in the context of religion. Surely that is the first step in priming people to believe in falsehoods.

It's very helpful for you to have discussed these critical foundational lies and why they become so deeply rooted, and of course to cite those who have debunked them so thoroughly. On the October 7th lies, I have noticed that many non-corporate journalists and activists who oppose the Israeli genocide and speak and write from that perspective often leave out that the IDF killed an unknown but significant number of its own people that day. It's an important fact to bring out that further exposes the true nature of the Zionist state.

Thanks for another informative talk and for acknowledging the hard work of independent researchers and journalists in debunking these lies. Regarding the October 7 fake mass sexual assault narrative I would add the eager willingness of the media here in North America to uncritically accept and promote these stories indicates a still existing deep seated and unacknowledged racism against Arabs and Palestinians in particular. Nora Barrows-Friedman of the Electronic Intifada did a very good monologue on this topic last year relating this back to Emmet Till and the days of the Jim Crow south where African-American men were lynched because of false stories that they were somehow a threat to the purity of white women.

Thanks a great explanation, but it’s depressing to think that all the good work taking place here and as you highlighted in other parts of the alternative media. This important information is only being absorbed by a minority and the vast majority of people continue to get their Fake News & propaganda from the mainstream media. Dangerous times!!

Excelent content, thank you so much for your work!

You're showing the decadence of the ruling elites of this (Imperialism) system. They just want to create huge amounts of profits through war and looting of the rest of the world. The lies of no return are their way of maintaining their narrative, it's cognitive dissonance.

I hope I'm still here to watch this monsters collapse.

Sharp analysis, wonderful synthesis, and eloquent narration of extremely important events in modern Machiavellian sociopolitical manipulations.
