Fake news and its effect on the community

[moXJO]

The Trump administration’s top counterintelligence official warned Friday that China and Iran are trying to help Joe Biden defeat President Trump, but that Russia appears to be opposing the presumptive Democratic nominee.

National Counterintelligence and Security Center Director William Evanina issued the unusual assessment after Senate Democrats clamored for more awareness of foreign interventions.

Evanina warned there was “ongoing and potential activity by China, Russia, and Iran” ahead of voting.

CNN finally works out why it only has 15 viewers.

CNN: 'Our Ratings Are Only Tanking Because Trump Is Killing Off Viewers By The Millions'
August 26th, 2019

ATLANTA, GA—CNN host Brian Stelter blamed President Trump for the network's falling ratings Sunday, accusing the president of killing millions upon millions of people that otherwise might have tuned into CNN.

"If Trump weren't killing off most of America by the millions, we'd still have a pretty solid viewer base," Stelter bellowed at the three viewers watching Reliable Sources. "Airports, lobbies, waiting rooms, and gas station pumps are now playing CNN to absolutely no one, since Trump has killed them all."

A guest on Stelter's show suggested that Trump has killed more people than Hitler, Mao, and Stalin put together, and Stelter had to agree. "I'd probably put his death count at somewhere near 7.7 billion," he said after doing some simple math on one of those giant novelty calculators he keeps handy for such an occasion. "We can't overstate the damage this president has done to this once-great news station."

After the segment blaming Trump for the deaths of millions and CNN's subsequent decline, the station continued to air 24/7 Trump coverage, which mostly consisted of the hosts screaming at the sky.

Back to the reality of Fake News. Check out how Q Anon has poisoned the international community, and Australia, with it's vicious, baseless, lies.

Australian MP installed security cameras out of 'genuine fear' after posts by conspiracy theorist, court hears
Anne Webster has been targeted by conspiracy theorist Karen Brewer and says Facebook should ‘be more responsive’ in removing similar posts

Federal MP Anne Webster installed security cameras at her home because she feared being physically attacked in her home town of Mildura after a conspiracy theorist accused her of being “a member of a secretive paedophile network” in a series of vicious social media posts.

The Guardian revealed on Saturday that Webster, along with her husband, Dr Phillip Webster, had launched defamation proceedings against New Zealand-based Australian conspiracy theorist Karen Brewer over a series of posts made on Facebook in April this year.

The posts, which were shared hundreds of times including on accounts associated with Mildura, accused the MP of being “a member of a secretive paedophile network” who had been “parachuted into parliament to protect a past generation of paedophiles”.

According to court documents, Brewer claimed, falsely and without any evidence, that Webster’s family had “engaged in incest” resulting in a genetic defect in her seven-year-old granddaughter, and that an organisation founded by the couple to help single mothers in Mildura access education was “a cover for the supply of young teenage mothers to a secretive paedophilia network”.

Che ? What the xuck do you mean Wayne ?

Somewhere , somehow, someway you want to equivocate the gross repeated, maniacal, slanders made against Anne Webster (and many others) with the Covington Kid?

Lets understand what is happening here Wayne in the big picture.

Australian MP takes on conspiracy theorist in court but experts don't know where to begin with online battle
A recent report found QAnon’s following was growing considerably in Australia with only the US, UK and Canada producing more conspiracy content

In May, Anne Webster, a first-term Nationals MP from Mildura in regional Victoria, quietly launched a defamation action in the federal court over a series of posts and videos about her on social media site Facebook.

According to a statement of claim seen by Guardian Australia, posts made about the federal MP in April claimed, without any factual basis, that she was “a member of a secretive pedophile network” who had been “parachuted into parliament to protect a past generation of pedophiles”.

Within weeks of the case being filed, Justice Michael Wheelahan made urgent orders for the defendant to remove the posts, labelling them “vile” and describing the legal action as “one of those exceptional cases” where the court could order the removal of the allegedly defamatory material before a trial.

“Given the potency of the allegations [in the] online posts, the scandal created may well reach quarters that cannot be known … this is one of those rare cases where damages may not be an adequate remedy,” Wheelahan said.

Webster’s case was filed against a woman named Karen Brewer, an Australian who the court believes may now live in New Zealand. Though she is basically unknown outside of the online communities in which she spends much of her time, Brewer – which may not be her real name – is one of Australia’s leading conspiracy agitators.

Brewer’s personal Facebook page, which has thousands of followers, is a petri dish of beguiling theories and vicious abuse. In the steady stream of live videos and posts she feeds to her thousands of followers each day, Brewer rails against vaccinations, fluoride, and the cabal of Freemasons she believes controls Australia’s parliament, judiciary, media and bureaucracy as part of an extensive paedophile protection racket.
