#RFKJr to link #Tylenol use in pregnancy to autism
Tylenol is the just about safest drug in the world

"Russia's one path to victory in Ukraine leads through minds and mouths in Washington, DC. Russian and Chinese propaganda therefore celebrates the inability of Congress to pass aid for Ukraine, and praises those who hinder the passage of such a bill. But the specific propaganda memes that China spreads (and some American leaders repeat) about the war are of Russian origin."

How #Republicans used #CheapFakes to attack #Biden in 24hrs
#POTUS, who at 81 is decades younger than the vets he honored during Thurs’s D-Day commemoration, nonetheless found his age & fitness in the spotlight as selectively #edited clips of him circulated online.
D-Day’s 80th quickly became the latest example of the fast spread of #manipulated videos, highlighting the use of #misinformation [ #disinformation ] & #ConspiracyTheories in politics.

After lying to generations of Canadians about #Climate, #BigOil wiped its websites & socials in the face of #BillC59, Canada's new anti-#Greenwash legislation. Here's The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment's Dr. Leah Temper & Dr. Joe Vipond on the big win & what comes next

I lived in Miami when Andrew hit as a cat 5. We were able to get out so we did. No-brainer.
Many people don’t have the resources to evacuate when these storms hit. But a lot of people stayed put cuz they were told to expect hordes of looters.
RW fear-mongering has come a long way since then. Now it’s FEMA using Jewish space-lasers or whatever.
As we enter a new phase in American politics, we’re reaffirming our commitment to facts, journalism and open discourse. Our values have not changed.

Just when you convinced yourselves YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ⁉️
MR. #TRUMP DO NOT let ' #MUSK the #RETARD ' DESTROY OUR COUNTRY 🦅 to #NO_RETURN!
🔥 Soon YOU WLL realize that all 🇱🇷 #USA_CODE is all #CORRUPTED based on belief systems of #FOREIGN_CULTURES who wrote the CODE ( #FLAWED CORE LOGIC TO BEGIN WITH); rendering all of IT #UNSECURED IMHO.
* How do you think we ALWAYS DOMINATED GOOGLE last 20 years❓
* HOW DO YOU THINK WE TOOK DOWN GOOGLE AI 3 TIMES ❓
Bc THIER 🇮🇳 CODE WAS #FLAWED 🚔 FROM THE GETGO!.
Anything Plugged in after the fact will NOT FIT (EG: ROUND PEGS DO NOT FIT INTO SQUARE WHOLES) #WITHOUT #SOUND_CORE_LOGIC CODED in the 1st Place...🥇
Just one quick look at ELON MUSKS #AUTO_PILOT CODE in Tesla SAYS IT ALL! And why you have 🛬 BOEING AIRLINERS CRASHING 💥 EVERYDAY LIKE YOU CHANGING YOUR #UNDERWEAR?
Only one question?? WHERE ARE THE #PILOTS??
ONLY HIRE 🦅 #USA_ENGINEERS.
#VET_REAL_PATRIOTS (ENGINEERS) over time 🦅
NOT FAKE!
THEY WILL GET BETTER ON THE JOB! 💼 THIS #LOSER MUSK AND THAT OTHER #GREASE_BALL WILL TAKE YOU DOWN 👎 and this country TO NO RETURN!
🃏 DO NOT be Fooled! You are listening to a #CNBC A 🇮🇱 #ISRAELI TERRORIST 🌐 NETWORK (aka #DISINFORMATION Proxy #Propaganda Machine out of CNBC (DISINFORMATION PROXY_WAR_CHANNEL) = aka Israeli #TERRORISTS 👹 .
✝️ Allow us to EXPLAIN. WE have been outsourcing TALENT since 1999. There is no company with more experience in OUTSOURCING than #TastingTraffic LLC 🌐 #Internationally for #ONLINE_BUSINESSES.
We were DEEP into #Advanced_Technologies at the same time when we could not help but notice this COUNTRY 🦅 #STIFLING THE AMERICAN CITIZENS ABILITY TO KEEP UP WITH CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES WORLDWIDE! >> 25 years #AGO!? >>
>>We tested all countries. We were the first to HIRE INDIAN PROGRAMMERS LONG before ANY USA BIG TECH--until we caught them #lying..
WE LEARNED that Lying in INDIA IS CONSIDERED GOOD BUSINESS #ETHICS?? It gets worse. It's PART OF THEIR #CULTURE and acceptable??
MANY 💩 💩 💩 #ELITES (FLYING TO 🇮🇳 INDIA DURING THIS TIME GETTING THEIR #KINKS 👙 ON. GOT MASSIVE PROOF TOO;);)🔍
..will soon realize that all their code is CORRUPTED bc there #CULTURE HAS BEEN PROJECTED into their #PROGRAMMING_CODE??? rendering all OF IT #UNSECURED IMHO;)
Now India has BACKED #BRICS.. hMMM? Because they know all USA code is corrupted. #INDIA LEFT A #BACK_DOOR_BONANZA FOR FUTURE 🔮 USA #COMPROMISES.
#ALLIES HUH?
We left 🇮🇳 India for this reason 15 years ago..
#Google is Poisoning their OWN DATA Rendering #AD_WORDS ADVERTISING #Targeting OBSOLETE! And they don’t even know it… see below.
What happened to #DEEP_MIND? and/or #LaMDA? Etc. etc. #TastingTraffic LLC SHUT THEM BOTH DOWN!;) #Overnight! for the 3rd time;)
TastingTraffic LLC debunked Google Long ago >> #many_times.
In Fact, in 2007 they turned into a dedicated PAY PER CLICK ENGINE for the FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES (aka ILLEGAL #EXCLUSION | #SHERMAN #ANTI_TRUST VIOLATIONS UP THE YING YANG)☯️ ..
Google still under #ANTI_TRUST investigation by the CROOKED #Biden_Administration--that will Never Be Finalized??
PROOF of more #Israeli_Terrorists Meddling #behind_the_scenes.
We have 100% Proof and Evidence that the #State of #ISRAEL has Stolen your #Personal_Data as well as your #Intellectual_Property DATA Worldwide. ( by #Oracle a #Jewish_Owned Fortune 500 Company ?? no less.)
Confirmation of an Illegal Major Concealment & COVER-UP CRIME(s) over the last 7,300 days / 2 decades / 20 years??
Do not use #USPTO #Patent_office for anything. They are stealing your IP through USPTO by #TROLLS (aka usa patent attorneys).
bc 'THEY' cannot INNOVATE ANYTHING!
If it doesn't spew out of the ground or fall off a tree. All they know how to do IS CHANGE THE NAME and RE-BRAND the same TECH through #HYPE under a different name over and over again (LIKE #PARROTS 🦜 ) to cover their #UNENDING_FAILURES!
And that my friends is the REAL TRUTH behind #Israeli #AI_USA_TECH.
🇮🇱 They #sacrificed 1200 JEWS (#BREACHED_SECURITY WAS 100% due to corrupted ALGORITHMS w/o Human SUPERVISION?? Proof of #MAJOR #SOFTWARE_INCOMPETENCIES)
ANYONE could have BREACHED that WALL-- NOT just HAMAS!
REMEMBER #Colonial_Pipeline (MORE BRAINDEAD NAZI's #KOCH BROS.??) WERE Using a Compromised (WEAK) Password??
Any #UNETHICAL_HACKER could get in. Why? Because there is NO SOUND CODE!! ( #AI is a #Fantasy ) >> AI CANNOT AND I REPEAT CANNOT operate and/or function as intended #UNSUPERVISED >> WITHOUT 24/7 #HUMAN_SUPERVISION.
Proof Israeli's #Engineers GRANDIOSE_CLAIMS 🏴☠️ Murdered their own #Citizens!
(DavidV exp. 200K Project management hours under belt since 1999)
They MURDERED their own people--if the TRUTH BE TOLD! And the Jewish Citizens TRUSTED them and many unfortunately were Killed >> then tried to place the BLAME on others??
At the cost of 40,000 INNOCENT murder Victims (Civilians NO LESS #BURNING_CHILDREN_ALIVE FOR THE LAST YEAR??)
How much do the Israeli Zionist Value an #American Life?? .. $0.00 USD!
But they need our #Tax_Dollars to #Survive?? Hmm.. Who wants to pay taxes now to #FUND_GENOCIDE 🩸 🇵🇸 of #Children!?

Google’s new?? #Gemini_AI_model (aka FAKED!) is getting a mixed reception after its big debut last month, but users may have #less_confidence in the company’s tech or integrity after #finding_out that the most impressive demo of Gemini WAS PRETTY MUCH FAKED!
Static Page: Google’s best Gemini demo was faked.
https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/07/googles-best-gemini-demo-was-faked/
ACTUAL #FAKED_VIDEO HERE: Hands-on with Gemini: Interacting?? ( BULLSH*T! ) with #FAKE_COPYCAT AI..??
Just 2 BIG problems:
1. The video isn’t real. “We created the demo by capturing footage in order to test Gemini’s capabilities..
2. Google is Poisoning their OWN_DATA Rendering #AD_WORDS #ADVERTISING #Targeting OBSOLETE! Aka #USELESS
..And 'THEY' don’t even know it...

#Disinformation: #SocialSecurity email praising Trump’s tax bill is a lie
The #SSA sent an email claiming Trump’s bill eliminated taxes on benefits for most recipients.
The reconciliation bill–which #Trump called the #OneBigBeautifulBill before signing it after #Republicans in #Congress passed it–will strip people of their #HealthInsurance, cut #FoodAssistance for the #poor, kill off #CleanEnergy development & raise the #NationalDebt by trillions.

Hannah Arendt on #disinformation
Please note: We have learned that the quotation we originally posted was not actually Arendt's words. Though not a clear or intentional distortion, we do not want to promote the misquotation.

Mike Masnick compares how the Free Press covered the (misleading-to-false) story of the #Biden admin’s "censorship" of #SocialMedia [actually trying to combat harmful #disinformation like #election & #COVID #lies & #ConspiracyTheories or #HateSpeech like #WhiteSupremacy], to how they handled the very real #censorship attack on #Wikipedia by #Trump’s DC #USAttorney #EdMartin.
Spoiler: there are differences.
