UK MPs now have a "guide" book for Conspiracy Theories - Maxmars - 05-10-2024
It felt like this news jumped out at me. I am particularly interested in how "conspiracy theory" has become a 'boogie man' to the intelligentsia. There has been a steady and continuing growth of the need to proselytize the idea that all things 'conspiracy theory' are essentially evil and a detriment to society. Examples of this are everywhere, in most all media, and most powerfully now, in political discourse.
It has come so far as to become a matter of 'educating' leaders in how to 'deal' with them.
From off-Guardian.org: New “Guide” Teaches UK MPs to Spot “Conspiracy Theories”
The Shadow Leader of the (UK) House declared it a "must read." The object of the treatise rises to the level of making this a "bi-partisan" issue, and therefore powerful and influential parties have taken up the cause to eliminate what is characterized as "disinformation, misinformation, and public damage.
Leader of the House Penny Mordaunt MP, who commissioned the guide, has warned that:
"The proliferation of conspiracy theories across the UK is deeply disturbing. They are deliberate campaigns to spread disinformation and fear […] If they go unchallenged we risk the public being conned and their wellbeing potentially damaged. These campaigns are also a threat to the health of our democracy. It is essential that we give the public and their representatives the tools they need to combat this phenomenon.”
And claimed the aim of the new guide was to:
"protect the public from the damaging effects of misinformation and safeguard the integrity of our democratic process,”
Now of course we are a bit hindered in our analysis because the 'guide' is not available for scrutiny.... anywhere. Hopefully that will change.
And of course, many of us are familiar with the volume's sponsors:
The report was co-written by “experts” representing several non-governmental organisations, and fact-checkers including:
- FullFact – funded by (among others) Google, Facebook and the Open Society Foundation.
- The Institute for Strategic Dialogue – funded by (among others) the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, Facebook, over a dozen national governments and the UN.
- Global Network on Extremism and Technology – The academic research arm of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, a thinktank “designed to prevent terrorists and violent extremists from exploiting digital platforms”…and which is funded by (among others) Facebook, Amazon, Youtube and Microsoft.
Hmmm... Big tech think tanks. Are we surprised?
The source article contains a few interesting snippets that the author managed to glean from his sources... all of which do a piss-poor job of demonstrating just what they feel are targets for "conspiracy theory" disinformation... such things as the machinations of the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset," Climate Lockdowns, and eating insects.
Please read it. This is how your representatives are being armed to represent you... you should know this... because globalists are indoctrinating your 'leaders' so they can better represent them.
Good luck.
