The Internet of Gamers Attempting to Silence Reality

Any technique that efficiently manipulates public opinion is certain to be repeated, and we are able to now clearly see how the tobacco {industry}’s playbook is getting used to form the general public narrative about COVID-19 and the projected post-COVID period.

In 2011, after a few years of elevating consciousness concerning genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and industrial agriculture, we determined we wanted a brand new recreation plan. Educating folks by means of our publication was nice, however we realized one of the best ways to reveal Monsanto — a number one GMO advocate and patented seed proprietor on the time — was to get them to interact instantly and guarantee nationwide consideration.

To that finish, Mercola.com funded the signature gathering in California that initiated Proposition 37, the correct to know what’s in your meals by guaranteeing correct GMO labeling. We spent greater than $1 million for the Prop 37 initiative, plus a number of million {dollars} extra for GMO labeling initiatives in different U.S. states within the following years.

This initiative pressured Monsanto to interact with the general public on to defend their poisonous merchandise and harmful enterprise practices, all whereas receiving nationwide protection within the course of. 

The Monsanto Case

Monsanto spent tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars} attacking anybody of their means, however they did so not directly, similar to the tobacco {industry} did earlier than them. That is the core take-home of what I’m about to explain subsequent.

They used a public relations workforce to do most of their soiled work — paying scientists and teachers to voice their “unbiased opinions,” influencing scientific journals, and getting journalists and editorial boards to write down favorable and influential items to assist them preserve their lies and affect minds.

Nonetheless, whereas the spending of tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars} to affect voters resulted in a slim defeat of Prop 37, the brand new, widespread consciousness of GMOs, pesticides and industrial agriculture finally led to Monsanto’s demise.

In 2013, in a last-ditch effort to salvage its tarnished picture, Monsanto employed the PR agency Ketchum. As famous in a HuffPost article by Paul Thacker,¹ “Monsanto hit reboot with Ketchum,” which “created a marketing campaign known as GMO Solutions, and used social media and third-party scientists to supply a counter narrative to allay concern about Monsanto’s merchandise.”

The GMO Solutions’ web site is about as much as permit professors at public universities reply GMO questions from the general public — supposedly with out remuneration from the {industry}. However through the years, proof emerged displaying that these teachers are removed from unbiased, and infrequently find yourself getting paid for his or her contributions by way of hidden means, comparable to unrestricted grants.

College of Florida professor Kevin Folta is one distinguished instance described in my 2016 article “Scientific American — Another Monsanto Bedfellow.” In that article, I additionally evaluation how GMO Solutions co-sponsored a panel dialogue about GMOs in March that 12 months with the media and partnerships division of Scientific American.

On the time, Jeremy Abatte, vp and writer of Scientific American, insisted the occasion was not a Ketchum occasion however a Scientific American occasion. Few purchased his reasoning although, and lots of ended up submitting Scientific American into the chemical biotech shill class.

Having purchased Monsanto on the finish of 2016, Bayer continued the technique to depend on PR companies for public acceptance. Within the article² “Bayer’s Shady PR Corporations: Fleishmanhillard, Ketchum, FTI Consulting,” U.S. Proper to Know evaluations the numerous deception scandals involving these companies. A key discovery was proof displaying “there are goal methods to silence sturdy voices.”

After investigating the methods utilized by Monsanto and Bayer, we are able to now see that the identical playbook is being utilized by Massive Tech and Massive Pharma to form the general public narratives about COVID-19 and the Nice Reset. Once more, a central aspect of those campaigns is to silence critics, specifically these with massive on-line followings, together with yours really.

I’ve been publicly labeled a “national security threat” to the U.Okay. by Imran Ahmed, a member of the Steering Committee on Countering Extremism Pilot Activity Pressure below the British authorities’s Fee for Countering Extremism and the chief government of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).

In keeping with Ahmed, I and others who query the protection and necessity of a COVID-19 vaccine could also be vulnerable to violent extremism. This defamatory assertion clearly has no foundation in actuality in anyway. Reasonably, it’s a part of the propaganda geared toward destroying the opposition — on this case the opposition to the technocrats driving the Great Reset agenda, which spans throughout social, financial and well being associated sectors.

As reported by the Nationwide Vaccine Info Heart, which was additionally on the CCDH record of nationwide safety threats:³

“The anonymously funded CCDH additionally has an workplace in Washington, D.C. and the defamatory publicity marketing campaign created in December 2020 was designed to not solely discredit NVIC’s four-decade public report of working throughout the U.S. democratic system to safe vaccine security and knowledgeable consent protections in public well being insurance policies and legal guidelines, however to destroy our small charity.”

Publicis Is an Organizing Pressure within the Nice Reset Deception

Public deception is now being carried out at a mass scale, and the entire thing seems to be led and arranged by one other main PR agency, this time the Publicis Groupe, self-described as “one of many world’s largest communications teams,”⁴ which represents main firms throughout the expertise, pharmaceutical and banking industries.

These firms, in flip, have varied partnerships with the U.S. authorities and world nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Publicis itself can be a accomplice of the World Financial Discussion board,⁵ which is main the decision for a “reset” of the worldwide economic system and a whole overhaul of our lifestyle.⁶ As you will note, Publicis’ fingerprints could be discovered all through the web of censorship and misdirection that’s now being forged throughout the digital panorama.

The Publicis Groupe has manipulated what folks take into consideration industrial merchandise for almost a century. Over that century, they’ve purchased or partnered with focused promoting avenues, starting with newspapers, adopted by radio, TV, cinema and the web. Extra lately, they’ve branched into Massive Knowledge acquisitions and synthetic intelligence platforms.

To grasp the ability PR firms comparable to Publicis have at this time, it is advisable to perceive the position of the free press. Whereas pro-industry promoting labored properly for many years, there was nonetheless the irksome drawback of the Fourth Property, a time period that refers back to the press.

The issue for {industry} was that skilled investigative journalists working for magazines, newspapers and broadcast retailers would write in-depth exposés, outing the reality behind misleading promoting and countering {industry} propaganda with science, statistics and different documented info — and when a free press with sincere reporting primarily based on verifiable info really does its job, ineffective or poisonous merchandise are pushed off the market.

The reply that {industry} got here up with within the late twentieth century to fight reality in journalism was, pure and easy, to manage the Fourth Property with promoting {dollars}. Information organizations will merely not run studies that may hurt the underside line of its advertisers.

By additional partnering with the “massive weapons” of media — such because the Paley Heart for Media — Publicis and its {industry} purchasers have been capable of affect and management the press to limit, certainly just about get rid of, your means to get the reality on many essential points.

Publicis, Massive Pharma and NewsGuard

To start out off this sprawling internet of {industry} connections surrounding Publicis, let’s take a look at its connections to the self-appointed web watchdog NewsGuard. NewsGuard charges web sites on standards of “credibility” and “transparency,” ostensibly to information viewers to probably the most dependable sources of stories and data.

In actuality, nonetheless, NewsGuard finally ends up appearing as a gate keeper with a mission to barricade unpopular reality and variations of opinion behind closed gates. Its clearly biased rating system simply dissuades folks from perusing info from low-rated websites, mine included. 

NewsGuard obtained a big chunk of its startup capital from Publicis. NewsGuard additionally has ties to The Paley Heart for Media, talked about earlier. For clarification, The Paley Heart consists of each main media on the earth, together with Microsoft, AOL, CBS, Fox and Tribune Media. One among its actions is to sponsor an annual world discussion board for {industry} leaders.⁷

NewsGuard is housed in The Paley Heart in New York Metropolis. In November 2015, Publicis’ chairman of North America, Susan Gianinno, joined The Paley Heart’s board of trustees.⁸

Leo Hindery,^9,10 a former enterprise accomplice of the co-CEOs of NewsGuard, Steven Brill and Gordon Crovitz, can be a former trustee and director of The Paley Heart. Taken collectively, NewsGuard has pretty influential connections to The Paley Heart moreover being a tenant of their constructing.

As talked about, Publicis represents many of the main pharmaceutical firms on the earth, and since a lot of its income comes from the drug {industry}, it’s not far-fetched to imagine Publicis would possibly affect NewsGuard’s scores of drug {industry} rivals, comparable to different well being websites.

Publicis, Massive Pharma, NewsGuard and Massive Tech

Subsequent, let’s add a layer of Massive Tech into the combination. Publicis, which represents Massive Pharma, not solely has the power to affect the general public by means of NewsGuard, but it surely’s additionally a Google accomplice,^11,12 which permits it even larger means to bury undesirable views that may harm its clientele. 

NewsGuard can be partnered with Microsoft, initially by means of Microsoft’s Defending Democracy Program.¹³ By an expanded partnership introduced in 2020, Microsoft Edge customers gained entry to NewsGuard totally free, and Microsoft Bing gained entry to NewsGuard’s information.¹⁴

Publicis, Pharma, NewsGuard, Massive Tech, Authorities and NGOs

Increasing the net additional onto authorities and NGO territory, we discover that NewsGuard can be linked to the U.S. State Division, the U.S. Division of Protection and the World Well being Group. All three are listed as NewsGuard companions.¹⁵ NewsGuard can be partnered with:¹⁶

• Public libraries
• Colleges
• MSN
• Bing
• Development Micro and lots of others

To summarize, the net round Publicis now contains worldwide drug firms, NewsGuard, Google, Microsoft, the U.S. State Division and DoD, the WHO and the World Financial Discussion board. Thoughts you, this isn’t a complete evaluation of hyperlinks. It’s merely a sampling of entities to present you an concept of the breadth of those connections, which when taken collectively clarify how sure views could be so successfully erased.

Add in ‘Anti-Hate’ Group and Google-Trusted Well being Websites

However we’re not achieved but. NewsGuard’s health-related service known as HealthGuard¹⁷ can be partnered with WebMD, Medscape and the CCDH — the progressive cancel-culture chief¹⁸ with in depth ties to authorities and world suppose tanks that lately labeled folks questioning the COVID-19 vaccine as nationwide safety threats.

In 2017, WebMD was acquired by Internet Brands, an organization below the worldwide funding agency Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) umbrella. KKR additionally owns a number of different health-related web manufacturers. Since WebMD owned Medscape, it too now belongs to the KKR Web Manufacturers as properly.

Collectively, HealthGuard, CCDH, WebMD and Medscape have launched a public service marketing campaign known as VaxFacts. The objective of the marketing campaign is to “present info and instruments to assist customers make knowledgeable choices about vaccines,” WebMD studies.¹⁹

In tandem with that marketing campaign, Google is funding fact-checking organizations to the tune of $3 million, with the purpose of countering “vaccine misinformation,” and NewsGuard maintains a “Coronavirus Misinformation Monitoring Heart” that features a “High COVID-19 Vaccine Myths Tracker.”²⁰

WebMD dominates well being searches achieved by means of Google and shares person info with Google’s promoting arm and different third-party companies — a apply that’s unlawful in Europe.

What this implies is DoubleClick, Google’s advert service, is aware of which prescriptions you’ve looked for on the location, thus offering you with personalised drug adverts, and Fb is aware of what you’ve looked for in WebMD’s symptom checker, in addition to any medical diagnoses you obtained. I reviewed these findings in “WebMD and Healthline exposed Violating Your Privacy.”

Since most of its income comes from promoting, WebMD is much from an unbiased supply of well-researched well being information. For instance, it has been caught shilling for Monsanto, publishing industry-friendly “articles” which can be actually paid commercials identified within the media world as advertorials.

Ten years in the past, WebMD was additionally caught publishing a fake online depression screening test. Surely, it was an promoting trick for the antidepressant Cymbalta, and there was no means for take a look at takers to get a clear invoice of psychological well being.

Abstract

So, to recap, we discover connections between the drug {industry}, NewsGuard/HealthGuard, instructional establishments, Massive Tech firms like Google, Microsoft and Bing, the U.S. State Division and DoD, world technocratic establishments just like the WHO, nationwide and world NGOs just like the CCDH and the World Financial Discussion board, and dominating well being web sites like WebMD and Medscape.

Once more, that is removed from an exhaustive investigation of those sorts of connections. It’s merely a small sampling of readily apparent relationships. Towards the middle of this internet is the Publicis Groupe, the purchasers of which embody main drug firms, Massive Tech firms and monetary establishments in additional than 100 international locations.²¹

By the best way, Publicis additionally started investing in synthetic intelligence expertise in 2017²² and partnered with Microsoft in 2018 to develop a worldwide AI platform.²³ It additionally bought the info agency Epsilon in 2019,²⁴ thereby establishing possession of first-party information — a crucially helpful useful resource with regards to using AI.

As detailed on its web site, the agency’s experience is concentrated inside 4 important actions: communication, media, information and expertise (together with AI companies), and all purchasers have entry to its experience in all of those areas.

Whereas it’s simple to dismiss Publicis as simply one other advert company, I imagine it will be silly to underestimate its energy to prepare the form of coordination required to close down vaccine considerations, anti-lockdown proponents and folks attempting to coach their fellow man in regards to the risks of the Nice Reset, which is being introduced forth as a “vital” post-COVID step.

Whereas this stuff could appear unrelated, they’re actually not. As talked about, the Nice Reset entails the whole lot — together with well being, training, authorities, economics, redistribution of wealth, enterprise practices, environmental “protections” and rather more.

What Can You Do?

Every thing we all know is about to alter, and those that disagree with the mainstream narrative are troublemakers that have to be silenced, lest the plan get pushed off-track by an unwilling public.

The reply to this dilemma is transparency. We should expose the machinations that permit this agenda to be pushed ahead. A part of that publicity is wanting on the position of huge PR firms like Publicis, which helps affect the general public thoughts in order that the technocrats can preserve their lies till it’s too late to do something about it.

Bear in mind we DEFEATED Monsanto and we are going to defeat this menace to our freedom too. We merely allowed the general public to be taught the true reality in regards to the points, and that triggered Monsanto’s collapse.

I’m at present working with among the brightest minds within the tech house —cybersecurity specialists and billionaire philanthropists who’re very properly networked. These people are dedicated to preserving your private freedoms and liberties. We’re looking for to contain a large redo of your entire web that won’t permit tech monopolies the power to censor the reality as a result of it occurs to battle with their advertisers.

There was an growing name for the decentralization of the Web as expressed on this article on Coin Telegraph last week. This might imply that reasonably than websites being hosted on centralized servers in a single location their content material could be saved and served from hundreds if not thousands and thousands of computer systems all around the world making it just about inconceivable to censor or shut down.

We’re looking for to implement a method that Tim Berners-Lee is proposing. For these of you who don’t know, Berners-Lee is the person who gave us the world broad internet graphical interface of the web, and he didn’t take a penny for it. Had he licensed this expertise, he absolutely could be the richest particular person on the earth at this time.

You possibly can learn extra about Berners-Lee’s plan on this February 5, 2021, article in The Conversation,²⁵ however primarily in entails information sovereignty, providing you with management over your information and privateness. So, what are you able to do?

Please perceive you play a VERY essential, if not essential position on this course of. The primary a part of the technique is to repeat what we did with Monsanto and expose their plans. So, when you’ve got any curiosity in preserving your freedoms, I strongly encourage you to share this text and my video with everybody you realize so folks can begin to perceive how they’re being manipulated. It will successfully “immunize” them towards the propaganda.

Secondly, encourage your family and friends to subscribe to the publication so that you could be up to date on the subsequent steps that will likely be essential to defeat these tech monopolies tyrannical makes an attempt at management.
