Podcasts about Disinformation

Guest: Seth Borenstein, Associated PressEvery day, new scientific discoveries shape the way we understand our world — from extreme weather to the changing climate. But most of us don't read scientific journals. Instead, we rely on journalists to translate complex research into stories that inform the public and help us make sense of what it all means. Today we're joined by Seth Borenstein, a veteran science reporter with the Associated Press who has spent decades covering everything from hurricanes and heat waves to the latest breakthroughs in climate research. Over the years, his reporting has helped bring critical science stories to audiences around the world. In this episode, we'll talk about how science journalism has evolved, how the media approaches reporting on Climate Change, and what it takes to translate complex science into clear, trustworthy stories for the public.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Credibility01:43 How Seth Became a Weather and Climate Geek04:02 The Evolution of Climate Science Narratives07:47 From Uncertainty to Scientific Certainty11:53 Finding and Vetting Credible Scientific Sources16:04 The Role of AP and Wire Services in Science Reporting17:48 Break 118:16 Challenges and Opportunities in Science Journalism21:52 How Seth Finds His Experts25:03 Impact of Social Media on Climate and Weather Reporting27:57 Dealing with Disinformation and Misinformation28:39 Break 229:46 Memorable Stories and Impactful Reporting32:20 Embedded Reporting with Storm Chasers34:15 The Human Side of Weather Disasters36:55 Advice for Future Climate and Science Journalists39:25 Where to Find Seth's WorkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For decades, history has shaped the Middle East. Today, competing narratives are shaping how the world understands it.In Episode 484 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew welcomes back Steve Hunegs, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, for a wide-ranging discussion on Israel, antisemitism, democracy, and the growing challenge of disinformation.Drawing from historical documents, newspaper headlines, and firsthand research, Hunegs examines the events surrounding Israel's founding in 1948, the United Nations partition plan, the Arab-Israeli war, and how many of the narratives dominating today's headlines echo misconceptions that have persisted for generations.Andrew and Steve also discuss the aftermath of October 7, the rise of antisemitism across the political spectrum, the influence of social media on public discourse, Iran and its regional proxies, the future of Israel's security, and why preserving historical truth is essential to the survival of democratic societies.This thoughtful and timely conversation explores the difference between fact and fiction, the importance of historical memory, and the responsibility we all share in defending truth in the public square.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

This week, BJ is joined by Dr. Robert Lustig. A Professor emeritus of Pediatrics, Division of Endocrinology at UCSF, and the author of numerous books you should read, including The Hacking of the American Mind, which is the subject of this week's interview. Dr. Lustig had a lot to say about the power corporations wield over us, Citizens United, and why you should cut as much sugar from your diet as you can. That's because, like the end result of Citizens United, sugar could kill you. Politically speaking of course.

How did “disinformation” become the all-purpose explanation for American politics? In this eye-opening conversation, journalist Jacob Siegel reveals how a century-old progressive vision of expert rule evolved into today's censorship-industrial complex — from Woodrow Wilson's propaganda machine to the Hunter Biden laptop suppression and beyond. Siegel, author of the new book The Information State, traces the hidden history of information control and explains how governments and tech platforms now shape what we see, say, and believe.CHAPTERS:(00:00 Introduction)(00:48 Discovering Disinformation Everywhere in 2016)(04:00 Misinformation, Disinformation & Malinformation Explained)(08:23 The Hamilton 68 Censorship Scandal)(12:15 The Hunter Biden Laptop Suppression)(18:45 The Progressive Origins: Woodrow Wilson to the Creel Committee)(35:00 What Should Replace the Information State?)(41:10 Rebuilding Borders on the Internet)(45:59 Is the Censorship Apparatus Still a Threat?)JACOB SIEGEL LINKS:

This week on the show, BJ is wrapping up copyedits for the upcoming book, How to Protect Yourself From Fascists and Weirdos, so we're going right to our interview with Amanda Litman. Amanda is the author of When We're in Charge, and the co-founder of Run for Something. Run for Something has helped elect more than 1,650 candidates since 2017, presenting people across America with candidates who aren't fascists, weirdos, or funded by the kind of people who pay the bills for fascists and weirdos.

Social media has a content problem. Some posts incite violence or hatred; others spread misinformation or promote self-harm. The instinctive response is removal, but is that always the right tool? A new paper argues that platforms should often demote rather than remove problematic content, reducing its visibility rather than taking it down entirely. Drawing on international human rights law, it sets out a framework for when demotion is justified, when removal goes too far, and what transparency obligations platforms owe their users. The argument has implications for everything from climate misinformation to eating disorder content to the regulation of use of social media by under 16s. Joining host Emily McTernan is Jeff Howard, Professor of Political Philosophy and Public Policy at the UCL Department of Political Science and the founding Director of the Digital Speech Lab.

One in five U.S. adults now get their news from social media creators — and that number is even higher for people under 30. So what happens when those creators start doing journalism? Maya Srikrishnan of the News Creator Corps and Becky Bullard of Democrasexy join Kroc Pod to talk accountability, authenticity, and why making democracy feel good might be the most radical civic act of our time. Together, they make the case that transparency beats neutrality, community beats institutions, and how civic engagement hits different when it feels good.Find out more about this episode here: Democrasexy https://www.democrasexy.com/News Creator Corp https://newscreatorcorps.org/Trusted Creator Fellowship https://newscreatorcorps.org/programs/trusted-creator/Follow Us: ⁠https:⁠http://www.instagram.com/krocschool/⁠⁠Learn more: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/school/krocschool/posts/?⁠⁠feedView=all⁠Reach Out: ⁠krocpod@gmail.com

Bella ciao. Things aren't looking good out there in America right now, are they? Well, that's why this show exists. To help protect you from fascists and weirdos. So today we're joined by Rainey Reitman, author of the book Transaction Denied and president of the board of Freedom of the Press Foundation. It's important to know all the ways the fascists can get at you, and this week's episode involves your money. So listen closely.

Get in touch - leave me a messageFake people. Fake comments. Real clean energy projects killed.This is what climate delay looks like in the AI era.In this episode of Climate Confident, I'm joined by Leah Qusba, CEO of GoodPower, an organisation working at the intersection of climate tech, culture, policy, and decarbonisation. We explore a hard truth about the energy transition: solar, wind, batteries, and electrification may be ready, but public trust, local permission, and disinformation are now decisive barriers to getting projects built.You'll hear why Leah believes fossil fuel dependence is becoming harder to defend as “secure energy”, especially when oil and gas volatility keeps spilling into bills, food prices, business costs, and household budgets. We dig into why clean energy should be framed less as sacrifice and more as protection: protection from price shocks, geopolitical risk, climate impacts, and the charming little habit fossil fuels have of making everything more expensive.We also get into GoodPower's research on what actually changes minds. Their storytelling work has reached tens of millions of people and, in tested campaigns, shifted audiences from NIMBY to YIMBY by 11%. Leah explains why the right messenger can matter more than the perfect message, why rural voices can unlock rural support, and why creators in food, fashion, gaming, cars, comedy, and culture may be more effective climate communicators than traditional climate voices.And yes, we talk about AI-generated disinformation in permitting decisions, fake public pressure, and why pre-bunking false claims before they spread may become essential for emissions reduction, net zero delivery, and climate policy that survives contact with reality.

This episode is a warning to America! Pay attention to the speech codes and thought crimes being enforced in both the U.K. and the European Union.  This is what the doomsday cult, formerly known as the Democratic Party and a subset of the GOP wants to bring to America.  Squash and censor dissent disguised behind ridiculous claims of being offended, annoyed, inconvenienced, anxious or distressed by the words spoken by another human being.  Show Notes Twitter | Rumble | BitChute | Spotify | Apple -------------------------------- Six Armed British Officers Arrest Man Over Social Media Post Britain Now Policing Thought Crimes Erosion of Freedom: EU Censorship & Centralized Power UK Government to Create British FBI: Roll Out Nationwide Facial Recognition Cameras Support the podcast by shopping at the Truth Quest Shirt Factory.

Our friend Mickey Huff, executive director of Project Censored, talks with Steve about the machinery of modern propaganda, algorithmic control, and billionaire-owned media ecosystems. Their conversation highlights key tensions of a base and superstructure in decay. Mickey lays out the historical continuity of media manipulation, and they bring up surveillance as a class weapon and electoral distraction as a dead end. (Mickey may be the first guest to mention Gilens and Page before Steve does.)From Silicon Valley oligarchs and tech monopolies to the collapse of local journalism and the rise of curated realities, Steve and Mickey frame today's information war as a struggle over who gets to shape “common sense.” Critical media literacy is not about neutral fact-checking but about exposing whose interests a narrative serves.Mickey Huff is Executive Director of Project Censored, President of the nonprofit Media Freedom Foundation, and Distinguished Director of the Park Center for Independent Media at Ithaca College Find his full bio at https://www.projectcensored.org/mickey-huff/@ProjectCensored on X

VYS0061 | Talking About Talking About Talking About UFOs - Show notes The truth is out there... sometimes... maybe... well, Hine and Buckley just aren't sure. UFOs, UAPs, Flying Saucers, Alien Spacecraft, whatever you think they are, you don't know for sure - and if you think you do know for sure, it's a sure sign you don't. What you do know for sure is that you are told a lot of different things about them by a lot of different people: abductees spinning stories of high strangeness, senators pressuring whistle-blowers for information in congress, devoutly religious authors telling tales of angels and demons, folklorists and scholars of comparative religion painting vivid pictures of ancient beings dressed up in the skin of Technicolor sci-fi nightmares... no-one agrees and everyone is out to prove that their interpretation is the right interpretation - but what does any of it actually mean? In this episode Hine and Buckley don't analyse the verisimilitude of the stories or the veracity of the storytellers but instead examine the discourse around the phenomena or more accurately the discourse around the discourse around UFOs. The mechanisms with which people might think about this topic and the reasons that they may think in that way. The conversation around UFOs is big business, a lot of people making a lot of money - but who are these people and what happens to that money? Where did it all start? Was it Peter Levenda that stealthily laid the ground work over the last 50 years to shape the UFO movement as we know it today? Why would people lie about this stuff? Why should you believe some conspiracy theorist warning you of the terrible dangers of the existential crisis that UFOs pose anymore than you should trust some conspiracy theorist warning you of the terrible dangers of vaccines and their link to childhood autism?... and if the people who are trying to take control of the discourse are lying, overly-gullible or deluded, then is there really any truth out there at all?

As war in Iran and the broader Middle East continues, real and fake videos of the conflict are proliferating on social media — and it's getting harder to tell the difference. - මැදපෙරදිග කලාපයේ යුදමය තත්ත්වය දෙස සති ගණනක් මුළුල්ලේ අප බලා සිටිනවා. කලාපය පිලිබඳ සාවද්‍ය සහ නොමඟ යන සුළු තොරතුරු සමාජ මාධ්‍ය ඔස්සේ පැතිරීමත් සමඟ සත්‍ය සහ අසත්‍ය අතර වෙනස පිළිබඳ ගැටලු මතු වී තිබෙනවා.

The memoirs of Paweł Z. Woś highlight the significant research challenges encountered by historians of the Intermarium area. Polish conspiracy during the German occupation, participation in the Warsaw Uprising, and operating a small business were all, in reality, acts of anti-communist resistance. The many omissions and instances of imprecision stem not only from the passage of time, but also from the carefully cultivated discretion imposed by the all-powerful communist secret police. For scholars, this represents a major challenge in the reconstruction of events and the discovery of historical truth. Dr. Sebastian Bojemski Graduated from the Institute of History of Warsaw University and gained his doctoral degree at The Cardinal Wyszyński University in Warsaw. At the Institute of World Politics (Washington, DC) he attended individual courses in geography and strategy, geoeconomy, strategic influence and propaganda. He was awarded scholarships by the Kosciuszko Foundation (USA) and the M. Grabowski Fund (UK). Mr Bojemski also has extensive experience in strategic communication, marketing, sales and management. For over 15 years (2003-2018) he had owned a Warsaw-based consulting firm. Between 2018-2024 he was an executive director for marketing at PKN Orlen – the largest oil company in Central Europe, a vice chairman at Lotos Fuels, the second largest oil company in Poland and a vice chairman at PERN, the largest fuel and logistics company in the region and critical infrastructure operator. He is currently affiliated with the University College of Professional Education as a member of the Center for Research on Disinformation and Cybersecurity and a senior fellow at the Eastern Flank Institute, a Brussels-based think tank. The Kościuszko Chair serves as a center for Polish Studies in the broadest sense, including learning, teaching, researching, and writing about Poland's culture, history, heritage, religion, government, economy, and successes in the arts, sciences, and letters, with special emphasis on the achievements of Polish civilization and its relation to other nations, particularly the United States. **Learn more about IWP graduate programs: https://www.iwp.edu/academics/graduate-degree-programs/ ***Make a gift to the IWP Kosciuszko Chair of Polish Studies: https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E231090&id=4

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Joshua Bate, founder of Bonfires.ai and DeciWorld, for a wide-ranging conversation covering knowledge management, graph technology, ontologies, decentralized science, and the future of how humans organize and share information. They break down the differences between personal and enterprise knowledge management, explore why flat ontological graphs may be the key to making diverse knowledge bases interoperable, and get into why traditional RAG systems break down at scale and how graph RAG offers a more principled solution. The conversation expands into the philosophy of categorization, the slow death of basic "gentleman science" under institutional pressures, and how decentralized protocols might restore a kind of mycelial knowledge network connecting small groups of researchers, enthusiasts, and communities — much like the original spirit of the encyclopedia before it was co-opted by institutions. You can learn more about Joshua's work at bonfires.ai and deci.world or follow him on X at @Bonfiresai and @DeSciWorld.Timestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Joshua Bate, founder of Bonfires.ai, discussing personal versus enterprise knowledge management and their fundamental differences at scale.05:00 - Joshua explains ontologies as classifiers for knowledge structures, describing their two-year search for a perfect ontology and ultimately building a flat, ontology-less graph protocol.10:00 - Stewart connects categorization to shamanic practice and intercategorical theory, noting how major companies like Netflix and Yahoo built graph-based ontologies while the discipline remains underappreciated philosophically.15:00 - Joshua traces Bonfires origins through decentralized science, explaining how NFT community excitement inspired redirecting capital toward funding unconventional researchers locked out of institutional systems.20:00 - Joshua describes building federated knowledge networks through hackathons and conferences, comparing the vision to what Wikipedia could have been with decentralized incentive structures.25:00 - Discussion shifts toward inevitable collapse of rigid scientific institutions, debating patchwork age theory, nation-state fragmentation, and rhizomatic versus arboreal knowledge structures.30:00 - Joshua articulates the mycelial network vision, enabling direct cross-cultural information access where individuals control their own narrative lens, warning against collective we thinking and authoritarianism.Key Insights1. Knowledge management exists on a spectrum from personal to enterprise, but the founder of Bonfires argues this split is artificial. He believes knowledge itself does not respect those boundaries, and that small groups, researchers, hobbyists, and large institutions all possess knowledge that can and should interoperate with each other.2. After two and a half years of searching for the perfect ontology to structure their knowledge graph, the team concluded that no perfect ontology exists. Their solution was to build the flattest possible graph structure with only events, entities, and edges, creating a base layer others can build specialized ontologies on top of.3. Graph-based knowledge systems are more efficient than traditional databases for AI traversal because once a graph is computed, it is relatively free to query. Graph RAG combines the discovery power of vector search with the structured precision of graph traversal, solving many hallucination problems associated with standard retrieval augmented generation.4. Basic scientific research, the soil from which applied discoveries grow, is deteriorating because institutional funding structures only reward commercially viable outcomes. The founder built his platform partly to redirect community-driven capital toward researchers who are doing important work without institutional support.5. The institutionalization of science has historically blocked the open exchange of ideas that drove the original scientific revolution. The human spirit for open inquiry has not changed, but people cannot pursue it without financial support, and building decentralized infrastructure could restore that possibility.6. A federated knowledge network would allow individuals to access information from any contributor and filter it through their own preferred lens, rather than receiving information pre-filtered by centralized platforms. This represents a form of information symmetry similar to how mycelial networks distribute nutrients across a forest.7. The concern is not whether current scientific and governmental institutions will change but in what direction the rebuilding goes. Those capitalizing on the transition carry the same incentives as the previous era, which risks reproducing the same problems inside new structures.

I delve into the fascinating world of Cold War propaganda with historian Rory Cormac, author of a new book “Fakers - 'A Top Secret Tale of Phantoms and Forgeries on the Disinformation Front Line'. The episode uncovers the clandestine operations carried out by the Information Research Department (IRD), a little-known unit of the British Foreign Office that specialised in covert propaganda during the Cold War. Rory shares insights into the recent declassification of 8,000 files, which revealed the astonishing operational details of the IRD. From bizarre forgeries to the creation of phantom organisations, the episode highlights the absurdity and complexity of Cold War espionage. As Rory explains, the IRD was not just about planting stories in the press; they were deeply involved in black operations, often working closely with MI6 to achieve their goals. One of the most striking examples discussed is the IRD's attempts to undermine Egyptian leader Nasser during the Yemen Civil War. Rory illustrates how the British government crafted fake documents and propaganda to expose Nasser's use of chemical weapons, all while navigating the murky waters of international relations and credibility. The episode also explores the colourful characters that populated the IRD, including journalists, refugees, and writers who brought their unique backgrounds to the table. Rory's anecdotes about their lives and the social dynamics within the department add a rich layer of narrative to the historical context. As the discussion unfolds, Rory draws parallels between the propaganda tactics of the Cold War and modern-day disinformation strategies. He argues that the principles of intelligence laundering and the manipulation of public perception remain alarmingly relevant today.

Part 2 of 2: A special delivery of Paine! In honor of America's 250th birthday, we are celebrating with the forgotten founding father, Thomas Paine. Common Sense is the foundational text of the American Revolution. Changing the perception of early Americans about the cause of fighting against the British Empire from a lack of representation to the cause of America as an asylum for mankind. Where all are welcome and accepted. This is the first half of Paine's "Common Sense."

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we are joined by author Piers Blofeld to discuss his new book, Master of Lies: The Untold Story of Anthony Blunt, which re‑examines the most underestimated member of the Cambridge Spy Ring.Anthony Blunt was exposed as a Soviet agent in 1979 – long after the defections of Burgess, Maclean and Philby. For decades, he has been treated as something of an afterthought, a cultured art historian who happened to pass a few secrets to the Russians during the war. But Blofeld's research paints a very different picture – one in which Blunt was not a minor player but a master of deception whose actions had catastrophic consequences.Blunt was recruited by the NKVD in the 1930s, joined MI5 during the war, and rose to become Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures. Officially, he stopped spying in 1945. In reality, he continued operating well into the 1950s and 60s, using his flat to debrief agents and helping to investigate the very defections of his fellow spies.But his most significant work was not stealing documents – it was disinformation. Blofeld argues that the “postgraduate level” of espionage is misleading your enemy, and Blunt was a virtuoso. He ran a deception operation that mirrored the famous “Garbo” double‑agent network, feeding the Germans false information that helped ensure the success of D‑Day. Crucially, Blunt's information arrived at German High Command via Sweden four hours before Garbo's did – making the deception far more convincing.Yet just three months later, Blunt sabotaged Operation Market Garden, releasing detailed Allied order of battle to the Germans. The result was 16,000 Allied casualties, a failed advance into Germany, and a prolonged war that allowed Stalin to seize Eastern Europe. Blunt's betrayal, Blofeld argues, directly contributed to the partition of Berlin and the shape of the Cold War.We also explore how Blunt was protected by the British establishment for decades, how he edited incriminating evidence after Burgess and Maclean fled, and why Margaret Thatcher – herself misled by her own security services – finally named him in 1979.**Topics covered:**- The Cambridge Spy Ring and Anthony Blunt's role- Blunt's continued espionage after 1945- Disinformation as the highest form of espionage- The Garbo deception and Blunt's mirror operation- Operation Market Garden and Blunt's sabotage- The cover‑up and protection of Blunt by MI5- Thatcher's outing of Blunt and its aftermath---*Piers Blofeld's *Master of Lies* is available from all good bookshops.

This week's In Class With Carr confronts an enduring question at the heart of the U.S. experiment: How long can White nationalism strain the U.S. political order before the contradictions at its core permanently rupture the federated system itself? We trace this week's racially politicized Southern gerrymanders back to the founding racial logic of the United States, moving from Virginia state court battles to US Supreme Court encouraged anti-Black legislative wars in Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama. Together, these conflicts reveal that organized power—not faith in the durability of local, state, or federal institutions—has always driven transformations in the U.S. Social Structure. Echoing social comedian Roy Wood Jr.'s reflections on the centrality of Black locality, the Black-led Human Rights Movement of the Second Reconstruction and contemporary coalition politics, we emphasize culture, memory, and solidarity as essential sources of resistance and transformation. Anticipating intensifying disinformation, fascist unrestraint and escalating legal attacks on voting rights, this week's session reminds us that “everything ends,” including systems rooted in White racial domination. More inclusive and equitable Social Structures can emerge if and when people fight collectively for them from our strengths.Are you a member of Knarrative?

 In the explosive Part 3 finale of his reincarnation series on Nephilim Death Squad, Seth Kicklighter delivers a comprehensive takedown of reincarnation as demonic disinformation. Joined by David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and Top Lobsta, Seth breaks down the strongest “evidence” for reincarnation — Ian Stevenson's 2,500+ cases of children with birthmarks matching “past life” deaths — and reveals how demons use theta brainwave states (ages 2-4), data harvesting, vision control, and implanted memories to fabricate the entire phenomenon.Seth explains:• How birthmarks are either matched via demonic records of nearby deaths OR literally impressed on fetuses through astral/occult openings• The Jasbir possession case (smallpox death → adult spirit takeover)• Why past-life regression and spirit-releasement therapy admit ghost attachments create false memories• Future-life memories, Dolores Cannon starseeds, walk-ins, and the Secret Space Program (SSP) as reverse-psychology disinformation• MyLabs military abductions, water kingdom memories, and Hollywood-studio explanations as further demonic damage controlThis episode connects everything from Part 1 (Vision Control) and Part 2 (DMT Lockout) into a unified biblical model of demonic hive-mind deception.Seth's book: “Spirit Realm Shenanigans: An Unhinged Rant Exposing the Psychic Fabrication of Discarnate Dweebs and Nephilim Nitwits” – available on Amazon & Payhip.

Ask Rachel anythingClick here for my blog post and summary of the core skillsOur teenagers are growing up in a world saturated with information, outrage, and algorithms designed to keep them scrolling. As parents, it can feel overwhelming: How do we help our kids navigate AI, social media, fake news, and online manipulation—without either over-controlling them or throwing up our hands?In this episode, I talk to Dr Maree Davies, senior lecturer at the University of Auckland and author of Teaching Critical Thinking to Teenagers: How kids can be street smart about AI, algorithms, fake news and social media.Her work is all about making critical thinking accessible to all teenagers, not just the academically gifted. And crucially, she shows how these skills can actually reduce anxiety by giving teens a sense of control over the flood of information they face every day.We explore:What critical thinking really is (beyond the academic buzzword) and why the tween and early teen years (11–15) are such a powerful window for learning itHow cognitive bias, schemas, and teenage brain development affect the way young people react to information—especially on social mediaMarie's Street Smarts model for teaching critical thinking at home and in school, starting from a teen's own story and perspectiveHow to talk to teens about algorithms, AI, fake news, and influencers in a way that feels respectful, engaging, and non-preachyThe role of relationships, respect, and status in adolescent life—and how we can use these realities to open up richer conversationsWhy modelling our own struggles (with phones, news, time management, etc.) is far more powerful than lecturingPractical question types and conversation prompts that help teens move from emotional reactions to thoughtful, reasoned viewsThis is one of my favourite recent conversations and I'd love as many people as possible to hear it. These skills matter because our teenagers are being shaped—every day—by forces they often don't fully understand. Critical thinking isn't about turning them into cynics; it's about giving them tools, language, and confidence to question, to evaluate, and, when necessary, to change their minds.It's also about strengthening our own connection with them, so that they feel heard, respected, and equipped to take their place in the world as thoughtful, compassionate adults.Support the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Peter Robbins joins us again, and this time we will get in depth to this latest book, Deliberate Deception: A Case of Disinformation in the UFO Research Community. Now, since this was published, Peter has discovered that he was lied to by his co-author. He withdrew his argument and apologized. I'm still re-posting this with that caveat. Peter showed himself to be an honest researcher and person by acknowledging his mistake. I feel most would have just hid it.You can download the book here. Hosted on Acast.

Disinformation, peace negotiation, information warfare, conflict resolution, fog of war, back channel diplomacy — conflict mediator and peace negotiator Michael Vatikiotis joins The Voices of War host Vedran 'Maz' Maslic to expose how deliberate deception has made peacemaking structurally impossible. With more cameras, data, and AI-generated content flooding the information space than ever before, why are mediators, journalists, and governments more blind to the realities of war? The fog of war is no longer a byproduct of conflict — it is the weapon. Governments, including democratic ones, are intentionally hiding truth from lawmakers and the public. Journalists are being targeted and eliminated from conflict zones — not by accident. AI is being weaponised to manipulate information in ways we cannot detect or verify. And the multilateral institutions built to preserve the post-WWII international order — including the United Nations — are deadlocked and increasingly bypassed in conflicts from Gaza to Ukraine to Iran. In this episode of The Voices of War, Vedran 'Maz' Maslic speaks with Michael Vatikiotis — conflict mediator, peace negotiator, author, and journalist — about the structural collapse of truth in modern warfare, the rise of new mediation models led by middle powers like Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia through the Islamabad process, and whether the world is sleepwalking toward the complete abrogation of international law and rules-based conflict resolution.

This week on the show, BJ is joined by David Gerard of Pivot to AI. Come listen about how the AI bubble, like crypto, is a scam funded by the venture capital bros, and how that scam works.

Hawk walks through Jonathan V. Last's newsletter from The Bulwark, titled "Political Violence Breaks Containment," which traces Trump's pattern from encouraging rally-goers to punch protesters in 2016, to excusing Charlottesville, to the January 6th Capitol insurrection, to pardoning convicted violent offenders and even placing one inside the DOJ. The same administration that published what JVL calls snuff films, threatened genocide against the Iranian people, and called political opponents vermin and enemies of the state is now incredulous that political violence has turned in its direction. The shooter, Cole Thomas Allen, a teacher and engineer who checked into the hotel a day before the event with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives, found virtually no security in place. He sent a manifesto to family members roughly 10 minutes before the attack, outlining his targets, his rules of engagement, and his reasoning, rooted in rage at the current administration. Hawk also covers why trust in this White House's version of events has completely collapsed, on both sides of the political spectrum, because of years of disinformation, QAnon, Pizzagate, and compulsive lying. Even Trump's own base no longer believes the official narrative coming out of the administration. The Epstein files, the rhetoric, the pardons, the violence. It all connects.

Sean has been accused of being disingenuous and trying to conceal information. From his time as the head of arrow, and afterwards, he seems to try to discredit anyone speaking out about the topic. Former Rear Admiral, Tim Gallaudet has been on the side of Kirkpatrick's angry tweets. Had a recent conference, he challenged him to his face and interesting things occurred. Kristian Harloff gives his thoughts. #UAP #UFO #Alien #Alien #Government #News #Confrontation

The aftermath of the White House correspondents dinner shooting reveals a nation where facts no longer exist and truth is a casualty of years of systematic disinformation. While mainstream media outlets like CNN engage in whataboutism, the public response across the political spectrum suggests a deep rooted skepticism of official narratives. This distrust stems from a long history of misinformation regarding the 2020 election, COVID hoaxes, and the January 6 insurrection. The current administration, featuring figures like Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, and Kash Patel, faces a credibility crisis that extends from domestic policy to international negotiations with Iran and Israel. When political violence occurs, the immediate reflex is to label it staged or a false flag because the basis for shared reality has been dismantled. By analyzing the principles found in On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder, specifically the necessity of believing in truth to maintain freedom, a clearer picture emerges of how spectacle has replaced substance in American governance. The 2024 election of a convicted felon and the subsequent second term of Donald Trump have pushed both the right and the left into conspiratorial thinking. This environment makes it impossible to criticize power effectively or find accurate information amidst a relentless campaign of lies on Truth Social and right wing media.

From August 5, 2022: A few weeks ago on Arbiters of Truth, our series on the online information system, we brought you a conversation with two emergency room doctors about their efforts to push back against members of their profession spreading falsehoods about the coronavirus. Today, we're going to take a look at another profession that's been struggling to counter lies and falsehoods within its ranks: the law. Recently, lawyers involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election have faced professional discipline—like Rudy Giuliani, whose law license has been suspended temporarily in New York and D.C. while a New York ethics investigation remains ongoing.Quinta Jurecic sat down with Paul Rosenzweig a contributing editor at Lawfare and a board member with the 65 Project, an organization that seeks to hold accountable lawyers who worked to help Trump hold onto power in 2020—often by spreading lies. He's also spent many years working on issues related to legal ethics. So what avenues of discipline are available for lawyers who tell lies about elections? How does the legal discipline process work? And how effective can legal discipline be in reasserting the truth?To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Violent conflicts like the ones currently happening in the Mideast usually have the fallout of misinformation and disinformation from many sides. Since the terror attacks of October 7th on Israel, Jews across the world have been subjected to a sharp rise in antisemitism being fueled by online information that has become increasingly harder to discern between truth and propaganda. And besides hateful untrue rhetoric, there are deadly consequences to this antisemitism with attacks on the Jewish communities in the United Sates that authorities have connected to radicalization by terror groups. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Roy Altman, lawyer and jurist who serves as a United States district judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and author of 'Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence and the Law', out April 28th, who explains how online disinformation fuels antisemitism across the world, and how to evaluate modern political claims using legal reasoning.

The trending story of missing scientists and military officials has taken an interesting turn, now reaching back several years to find supposed cases. Amy Eskridge has suddenly become famous for being an anti-gravity researcher who was killed for her work in 2022. Although Amy had a University background, she was part of or partnered with companies and groups about as credible as Stavatii Aerospace. Some say, she was killed over her antigravity technology and others for similar reasons. Nearly all the missing or dead cases are, as with Amy, said to be related to UFOs and Disclosure. But the argument within the suspicion of her death is missing the point: there is no direct connection between the various definitions of “aliens” and UFOs, nor is there a direct connection between the same and exotic technology. It is all based on assumption. However, if there is an underlying conspiracy, it might just be that the attempt to make UFO disclosure religious and technological is part of a buildup to undermine current legacy systems and Christianity in order to position these new alien gods as the Old Testament God; thus establishing a New World Order and a New World Religion. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
