It is official. The U.S. now has a Ministry of Propaganda.

Luckily the organization and operational details have been ironed out.. mix tax dollars with lobbyists and voila like magic!

A bit of a unrelated heads up (or is it?): gmail is now putting bad cattitude's newsletter in the promotions tab.

Try using protonmail. It's a good first step in degoogling.

The Qwant search (https://www.qwant.com/?q=dr.+mike+yeadon&t=web) turns up a lot of the usual smear pieces as well as a few decent ones, but I was most surprised to discover this 2017 Forbes article (https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnlamattina/2017/03/15/turning-pfizer-discards-into-novartis-gold-the-story-of-ziarco/?sh=64e368317572) from before you were a persona non grata. Seems they forgot to memory-hole that positive mainstream piece about you ЁЯШ╣

Yes, I forgot to mention that!

The former President of Pfizer WW R&D wrote me up flatteringly in 2017.

Not yet a conspiracy theorist.

Haha, I like you better as an outcast rebel, anyway тЬК ItтАЩs far less lucrative, comfortable, and easy, but you get to keep your integrity, honor, humor, and impeccable moral character :-)

Interesting article, thanks MMA! The fun part though was being able to hear Dr. Yeadon's voice in my head as I read it. :-)

It's fun to hear peoples' voices in my head as I read their books too. I'm reading Michael Shellenberger's book "San Fransicko" now and I've seen him interviewed enough that I can "hear" him too. Same with Gad Saad's "The Parasitic Mind" that I read earlier in the year.

well, there must still plenty of topics about which you haven't even started to learn.

Embrace the label my fine sir, the world is easier to navigate once you realise it's nature.

DuckDuckGo has been my alternative for a few years but the results aren't ideal. Presearch has all the tracking free benefits & far better search results. Check it out you can even find lots of favorable content harking back to the days before you were crowned with a tin foil hat! https://www.presearch.io/about

Have you tried qwant.com, Pamela?

Presearch sounds interestingтАФbut you have to pay for it? How much, and how does it work?

Expand full comment
PamelaDrew's avatar

It's free I don't have any subscription. Tech is my worst area but my circle of friends are pretty skilled and some of them earn crypto with registered accounts and hosting nodes etc but average clueless users can just add it with no personal details and no fee.

I'm glad to hear that Dr. Yeadon! Monday I was trying to find a video a young woman did playing herself on both sides of the issue about vaccines - "if the vax protects you, why do I need to get one?" and all DuckDuckGo could come up with was pro-vax links. After multiple search terms, I finally gave up in frustration.

Having said that about DuckDuckGo, I just tried it with Chrome and it was EVEN WORSE!! The propaganda is breathtaking.

only sources you can trust are the ones you verify yourself, usually they're on telegram and/or substack, search engines are now nothing more than tech organs for the official propaganda, still ok if you're looking for a recipe or how to fix your kitchen sink.

I'm still getting the messages in my inbox, but I always check my promotions tab anyway. Oddly enough, although the really "subversive" stuff from Substack goes to my inbox, it's Dennis Prager and his PragerU that gmail keeps sending to my spam folder (which I also check often).

I'm not even finding it in my junk folder anymore - I have to log onto Substack.

Pretty sure we established that fact in 1976 with Church/Pike Committee Reports and a good reason the bulk of Pike's findings are still classified. http://www.carlbernstein.com/magazine_cia_and_media.php

That was covert, and still classified. This is out in the open with no attempt to hide the intent.

Secrets only protect their keepers; what is in the open now is in addition to what has continued and grown in the covert space, not in its place. j/s

Yes, but who is following it. From what I have read the audiences for the MSM have been collapsing globally and when surveyed most of those who do read it don't believe it .. they say they read it only because it's entertaining. I can align with that. I read some of the MSM crap knowing it's bullshit .. but it so shockingly bad it actually good

PamelaDrew's avatar

Too many are following it in part even if as a whole they dismiss segments as pure propaganda. I have friends in Washington who are experienced enough as insiders they can ridicule reports of Russian troops on the border of Ukraine as baseless yet swallow the PR for masks and vaccines as truthful. Like Alex Jones the MSM sprinkle just enough truth in the content that some are fooled some of the time and that for the moment seems enough for the nefarious and idiotic agendas to have cover.
