The UofA is refusing Ukrainian funds because the admin is solidly maintaining their position that matches the positions of putin and netanyahu. The UofA also colludes with the government to send in police to attack peaceful anti-genocide protestors... The UofA is a very very different institution than when I was a student. 180 change for the worse. "Historical accounts indicate that most Ukrainians who joined the First Ukrainian Division during World War II were not motivated by a desire to assist Hitler and the Nazis in conquest and genocide. Instead, these Ukrainians saw the division as an opportunity to resist Russian imperialism and try to establish an independent Ukrainian state free from Soviet domination." https://euromaidanpress.com/2023/09/25/did-canada-parliament-really-invite-nazi-yaroslav-hunka/ #KGBwin #Disinformation #MSM #UofA

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you." - Joseph Heller, Catch-22 My wife told me our younger son does not believe humans ever walked on the moon. My guess, based on prior conversations, is that he does believe UFOs carrying aliens from other worlds have visited Earth. I know he believes in supernatural events. His critical thinking skills are weak. I searched the internet for a quiz to assess one’s susceptibility to conspiratorial thinking and easily found a couple of them. I thought of asking my son to complete one and comparing his results to mine. Before proposing that to him, I decided to take the two quizzes myself. Although my susceptibility to conspiratorial thinking is less than average, I was surprised to test positive for some conspiratorial thinking, particularly about government influence by powerful persons. I quickly realized that answers suggesting my susceptibility to conspiratorial thinking were mostly informed by what I have observed during the last two years. So I retook the quizzes and answered the items based on my thinking just a couple years ago. My revised results then showed conspiracies to have little effect on my thinking. Perhaps thinking that would have been considered conspiratorial when the quizzes were designed (e.g., wealthy persons have excessive policy influence and suppress technology that could benefit society) is less conspiratorial today? #Catch22 #Conspiracy #Misinformation #Disinformation #Corruption #Politics #Government #Society

The EU tells firms to label AI-generated content from Sunday. Deepfakes and other AI-generated content must be labelled from Sunday, 2 August, as the European Union’s sweeping artificial intelligence transparency rules kick in to make sure Europeans immediately know whether the online content they see is real or fake. https://mediafaro.org/article/20260728-the-eu-tells-firms-to-label-ai-generated-content-from-sunday?mf_channel=mastodon&action=forward #EU #AI #Deepfakes #Disinformation #AISlop #BigTech #Tech

#Wildfire season is #Disinformation season! 🔥💬

I debunked very common but misleading arguments designed to deny any impact of #ClimateChange. Every year they keep coming back - with catastrophic fires near #Bordeaux and #Madrid, this year is no different.

Find here the original blog post for @Volksverpetzer@digitalcourage.social (in German, if interested simply use a website translator): https://volksverpetzer.de/analyse/waldbrand-fakes-erkennen-widerlegen/

Here are the main points summarized in English:

  1. Of course air #temperature has an impact on wildfires. Yes, hot days will not result in "spontaneous self-ignition" of a forest, but that was never the point. Bringing that up is a classic straw-man fallacy, and using it against climate change impacts is a logical mistake.

  2. #Arson is not an argument against the impact of climate change. Global warming impacts both natural and human-caused ignitions and makes resulting fires more difficult to control.

  3. Many regions across the globe are experiencing a #trend towards increased wildfire activity. However, those who refer to the decline in globally summed up burned area over the last 20 years to say otherwise ignore important context and draw an invalid conclusion from the data.

As I predicted in 2023 - It needs to be stressed that institutions commonly linked to systematic #disinformation about climate change are starting to include wildfire in their repertoire and misleading arguments will likely continue to spread and evolve. It is good to check before sharing!

https://www.ms.now/news/election-denial-activists-briefed-at-white-house-ahead-of-trumps-prime-time-speech The White House hosted about two dozen Trump-aligned activists this week ahead of President Donald Trump’s primetime address on the 2020 election. The session was convened by conservative lawyer Cleta Mitchell and attended by figures who have spent years promoting the conspiracy theories Trump has invoked in falsely claiming the race was “stolen” from him. #maga #electionDenial #Fascism #disinformation #propaganda #cletaMitchell #Trump #electionInterference

#disinformation

I like to do well rounded reporting on these sorts of situations and one notable video consertaves are running with pretty hard right now is this interview of an alleged eye witness who blamed the victim.

These sorts of witness statements don't matter much as the facts are abundently clear:

  • Joan was in the US legally
  • A whole family was in the car
  • Murdering the driver didn't make the agents safer
  • ICE conducts unsafe ramming stops
  • Was there a language barrier?

On this #CanadaDay I'm struck by how few Americans know their government and the Russians are involved in a psyop in Alberta to incite a separatist movement. The goal: force a populist referendum to leave #Canada and join the #USA. Albertans are being swayed by glitzy YouTube influencer videos, many of which are #AI generated abroad,, to suggest their lives would be better in the US. You know, Florida mansions, control over immigration, pristine health care, high valued US dollar, and other grass is greener lies. Very #Brexit-esque, Cambridge Analytica playbook. As the US under this administration seeks to capture and manipulate oil internationally, Hormuz and Venezsudentenland are not enough. They are coming for the Canadian oil fields not with arms, but with algorithmically amplified #disinformation and millions of corrupt dollars to influence an election in their favor. For Russia, cracking Canada means destabilizing yet another Western democracy in the international illiberal project, plus Canada recently signed an agreement to provide drones to the #Ukraine. How can you help? I wish I could say call your Congressional Rep, and that might still work in some districts. However, this is digital guerilla warfare, and we still don't have good innoculation against it. Any information you can get out there on social media --about what it is really like to live in the US (maybe more about how actually likely it is to own a mansion or paying for your health care!), about how disinformation campaigns work, about what happened to democracies that voted to shoot themselves in the face based on peddled lies and are now dealing with the consequences (hello #UK), would help. Please tag Alberta separatism to ensure the message gets out. And tell your friends. People need to know this is going on. #elbowsup Receipts: https://thewalrus.ca/alberta-separatism-fuelled-by-russian-networks-and-us-influencers/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/co-ordinated-network-of-fake-youtube-channels-pushing-alberta-secession-and-us-annexation-narrative-report-finds/ https://www.cdmrn.ca/slopaganda-the-inauthentic-youtube-network-selling-secession-to-albertans https://thetyee.ca/News/2026/04/21/Dishonest-Online-Campaign-Support-Alberta-Separatism/ https://disifnowatch.org broke this story with international journalists' help: see: https://disinfowatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Alberta-and-Foreign-Interference-Report-Final-052026-web.pdf
