Disinformation – Red Wave Press https://redwave.press We need more than a red wave. We need a red tsunami.

The FBI and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said they have “no information suggesting cyber activity against U.S. election infrastructure” that has “compromised the integrity of voter registration information, prevented an eligible voter from casting a ballot, impacted the integrity of any ballots cast, or disrupted the ability to count votes or transmit unofficial election results in a timely manner.”

But the two agencies said that foreign adversaries still might promote “false or misleading narratives” to sway the election or to undermine American confidence in its election systems and processes.

Specifically, the two agencies warned of election-related content produced by artificial intelligence (AI) that has lowered the guardrails for malicious or foreign actors to create more advanced schemes to influence the election.

“We are seeing foreign actors use these tools to develop and distribute more compelling synthetic media messaging campaigns and inauthentic news articles, as well as synthetic pictures and deepfakes (video and audio) at greater speed and scale across numerous U.S.- and foreign-based platforms,” their joint bulletin said.

“These efforts to develop content are designed to undermine voter confidence and to entice unwitting consumers of the information to discuss, share, and amplify the spread of false or misleading narratives.”

In one example of AI-aided content produced by foreign actors ahead of the election, the agency said that Russian groups have “created and deliberately designed” web pages “to look like legitimate mainstream news websites” such as The Washington Post or Fox News.

“Russian malign influence actors also created fake social media profiles posing as U.S. citizens to direct users to these fake news websites and purchased social media advertisements to drive traffic to the specific fake articles on the fake news site,” the two agencies cautioned.

The PSA highlights specific examples of tactics we have seen used by Russia and Iran during the 2024 election cycle to target all Americans. These include things from mimicking national level media outlets like The Washington Post and Fox News and creating inauthentic news sites posing as legitimate media organizations to using paid influencers to hide their hand.

In late September, three Iranian government employees were charged and identified by the Department of Justice for a wide-ranging hacking conspiracy that targeted both current and former U.S. officials as well as political campaigns.

The bulletin was referring to an indictment that was returned last month that accused Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri, and Yasar Balaghi of trying to hack the campaign of a presidential candidate, without providing names. But in a news conference last month, Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed that they were targeting the campaign of former President Donald Trump.

Iran-backed hackers who breached the Trump campaign in June and July sent emails with hacked campaign materials to people associated with President Joe Biden’s campaign as well as various media outlets, said the FBI, CISA, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence last month.

But the agencies said that the the campaign of Biden, who suspended his presidential bid in late July, was not interested in the hacked materials. There is also no evidence the Biden campaign even responded to the emails, which were described by the intelligence and cybersecurity agencies as unsolicited.

“It is important for voters to critically evaluate information sources, particularly as disinformation campaigns evolve to use AI-generated content,” both CISA and the FBI said in a news release accompanying the bulletin. “Both agencies urge the American public to rely on trusted information from state and local election officials and to verify claims through multiple reliable sources before sharing them on social media or other platforms.”

American Psychological Association Tells Children That Asking Questions Is a Form of “Disinformation” https://redwave.press/american-psychological-association-tells-children-that-asking-questions-is-a-form-of-disinformation/ https://redwave.press/american-psychological-association-tells-children-that-asking-questions-is-a-form-of-disinformation/#respond Fri, 27 Sep 2024 14:12:46 +0000 https://redwave.press/american-psychological-association-tells-children-that-asking-questions-is-a-form-of-disinformation/ (Natural News)—New children’s literature from the American Psychological Association (APA) aims to brainwash kids into believing that the simple, innocent act of merely asking a question constitutes intolerable “disinformation” – so stop asking questions, says the APA.

Entitled “True or False? The Science of Perception, Misinformation, and Disinformation,” the APA children’s book exists to “pre-bunk” the next generation from believing “conspiracy theories” about things like vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and government oppression as a response to a “pandemic.”

“This book explores how we think and perceive and why false beliefs, superstitions, opinions, misinformation, or wild guesses can just stick around and mess things up,” the book states.

“You’ll see how misunderstandings and misuse of scientific findings can lead people to the wrong conclusions. Readers learn how to outsmart their brain to gain critical thinking skills and find ways to identify and correct false beliefs and disinformation.”

(Related: Did you know that many state-employed psychological experts are distancing themselves from the APA and other corrupt medical associations due to the behavioral manipulation they pushed during Covid?)

Believing “disinformation” means your brain is “glitchy”

It is an undeniable fact that the human brain is the most advanced “supercomputer” in the universe. Science can barely explain how it works despite thousands of years’ worth of inquiry into determining how it works.

The APA recognizes that the human brain is an advanced wonder, however it argues that the human brain has problems that could cause some people to believe things that the establishment does not want them to believe.

“Our big brains are super-efficient but glitchy,” the book’s text states.

“Scientists estimate that 90% of what we see, hear, smell, or sense never really sinks in. Instead, we pick up on the big things, general impressions, or important stuff and end up leaving our brains to fill in the missing info. And on top of that, people sometimes twist information on purpose. False beliefs can be shared from person to person or go viral in a flash, often by people who think the info is true.”

According to the APA, two-time failed presidential wannabe Hilary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election not because she is a creep that nobody likes, but because of “disinformation.” Trump, in other words, did not legitimately win the election, the APA insists.

Children can still generally trust books, newspapers and certain “trusted news shows” because those are easily controlled by the powers that be (TPTB). Children should avoid the internet, however, because the APA says there is no “gatekeeping mechanism” in place to ensure that all information found there is “true.”

“It doesn’t have a way to fact-check information for accuracy before it is made available to the public,” the APA further insists about the internet. “This means a lot of what you read or see online or on social media might not be reliable. Or exactly true. And some people can take advantage of that to spread disinformation.”

One of the top dogs behind this APA brainwashing campaign aimed at children is Jacqueline B. Toner, a retired clinical psychologist based out of Maryland.

“This is the sub-species of human (loosely defined) that aspires to be the Gods of the Brave New World,” argues Ben Bartee of Armageddon Prose about Toner and her ilk.

“Since the American Psychological Association resorted to the use of drugging millions of kids for the purpose of controlling them, their credibility is zilch,” added one of Bartee’s readers to the conversation.

“Their tactics continue to resemble what the Soviets did to homosexuals, outcasts, dissidents, political prisoners etc. It’s unlikely that all of those drugged kids who are now adults will forget any time soon.”

Everything the deep state does not like is now regarded as “disinformation.” Find out more a Deception.news.
