This isn’t a comprehensive essay on the topic. Just examples. For a clear understanding, go back and watch the Stephen Coughlin interviews we have done with Stephen, or any other videos of Maj. (Ret.) Coughlin on the subject.
But in the last 12 hours or so, I have seen several examples of stunning disinformation videos which I believe require confirmation bias on our part to ‘work’. They appear to be counter-narrative, so we tend to want to believe them. It ends up having the same effect on us though.
And ‘work’ in this case means at at the very least confuse you or make a powerful false impression, even if you kinda know at some level there is something wrong with it. For example, exactly the way Michael Moore movies worked. If you watch them as a video (I used to rent them on VHS tapes) and keep the remote in your hand and stop and think whenever he appears to make a point, you will get clearly what he tries to do. If you watch it in a theatre or when not really paying close attention, or without stopping so that he runs one false impression into another, you end up with a sort of overall emotional belief in the thing he attacks. Those impressions are always negative, targeted and not based in any way on reality. The targeting is also consistent. It is America and it’s values, culture and people.
Here is an example of a vetted piece of actual information. The only thing not conformed is that the information was released on an unsecured server. But the things this person reveals are actually true, and are important. Here is a Guardian article on it.
I’ll give this the benefit of the doubt, in part because of a man who was arrested for a burglary because the app he used for tracking his cycling told police he was in the area at the time. And although he was just cycling by, he was arrested for the crime. Later released though, but th point is it adds some reasonable confirmation of the story above. Apps do spy on you, and authorities use that information. We really saw that in Canada during lock downs where 30 million phones were tracked.
Now let’s look at some other videos which go from totally clearly fake to almost certainly fake but worth verification.
UPDATE: The video below with Dr. Martin appears to be spinning an exercise on a hypothetical into something imminent. It still can be meaningful in the way event 201 was, in that it played out exactly that way in terms of response, but not the threat. It still counts as disinformation however.
Good luck finding any kind of source on this.
Also Dr. Martin to the best of my knowledge never appears on camera without a bowtie.
CORRECTION: He did not wear a bowtie at his stunning appearance at the NCI this past winter.
Then there is this Facebook video.
Anyone who would read this site at all would be able to spot the video linked above is a fake. They do get her voice right in terms of tone and timbre. But she has a slight Chinese accent, not British. Also, the interviewer is stiff in presentation. All this is perfectly obvious and needs no explanation really. But how many might be fooled? Or how many would watch part of it and just leave the video with a vague impression from this video in that Michael Moore sense.
This one is interesting. Im gonna say FAKE on it. I know a few of the doctors on the panel here and will reach out to them and see if I can get any sort of confirmation on it. But for me, it doesn’t fit. The mouth movement doesn’t match the words. Something is just wrong with it. Let’s hope it isn’t correct in any case. Let’s say the jury is out for the moment on this one. But if I had to call it now, I would say fake, dependant on confirmation bias to accept it, and an attempt to discredit the most excellent, brave and brilliant doctors and scientists on that panel so that what else they do say that is true and important becomes untrustworthy.
I will update this if I Gert a response from any of these doctors at all either way.
Information warfare is complex and counter-intuitive. Even trying to get a grip on why they would want to destroy our sense of reality is challenging. Probably because the degree of pure evil required to wish to do this is so high, people just can’t accept it.
In Yuri Bezmanov’s critically important interview on CBC from the year, 1984, he describes the stages of demoralization that Soviet propaganda/disinformation warfare seeks to achieve, And while yes, the Russians may be still doing things like this to a degree, our own state apparatus is more in the lead I would say than the Russians are for disinformation attacks on Western citizens than even the Russians or Chinese can do.
Here is a link to the entire Bezmenov lecture/interview.
It is worth every second of the just under 3 hours it takes to listen to it all.
But the relevant part is here in just over 2 minutes:
Reality gets liquified. You can’t know what is true. You can however, be arrested, jailed or harassed by the state for wrong-think. Pay attention to which books the police linger over when illegally (from the PoV of a free society) searching this retired police officer’s home somewhere in Great Britain. And no, it is not ironic that they chose those books. It is a data point to the new paradigm under which the British live, and soon the rest of the West.
Under Pressure From Surging Reform UK, PM Starmer Vows To Cut Immigration, Warns Britain Becoming ‘An Island of Strangers’
by Paul Serran May. 12, 2025 11:45 am
While failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer travels around Europe with the merry band of globalists (France’s Macron, Germany’s Merz and Poland’s Tusk) to offer yet again political support for Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, back home things are going from bad to worse.
Trailing in the polls after the upsurging Reform UK party, and under severe pressure even inside his Labour party, Starmer decided today to announce cuts to immigration numbers and policy changes to make it harder to settle in the UK.
Starmer faces backlash from voters because of the insane levels of immigration wreaking chaos in public services and fraying the social fabric of UK society.
Associated Press reported:
“Starmer said he would end ‘Britain’s failed experiment in open borders’, less than two weeks after Reform UK, the hard-right party led by Nigel Farage, scored big victories in local elections. Labour and the center-right Conservatives, long the dominant parties in British politics, both saw their support crater in the contests for local government councils and mayors.

BREAKING: Fire Breaks Out in British PM Starmer’s London House – Arson Suspected, Counterterrorism Police Investigating
by Paul Serran May. 12, 2025 12:00 pm68 Comments
On the very same day that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed to cut migration to the Kingdom, his North London home reportedly caught fire – or was set on fire.
The fire broke out in the early hours of the morning, and British police is now investigating the case.
GB News reported:
“The London Fire Brigade attended the property in north London after they received reports of a blaze at around 1.30am on Monday. The door to the four-bedroom property was damaged but nobody was injured.”

Reposting from a reposted FB – which I don’t use, but trust. We’ve been advocated this move for YEARS:
~~~~~~
I don’t take anything the media says at face value. So I checked it out myself. I personally verified it. This is not a rumor. It is true. Netanyahu actually said it.
And that changes everything.
Because it means something big is happening behind the scenes. It means we can not trust the headlines about Trump and U.S. policy decisions on Israel, not about so-called “aid” or its supposed conditions. There is a thick fog of smoke and mirrors being deployed right now by US and Israeli leaders, strategically, and the media is totally misreporting everything.
And when Netanyahu of all people—arguably the most pro-American prime minister Israel has ever had—starts publicly stating an end to U.S. military aid, you know tectonic plates are shifting.
Think about what that means. It means Israel finally wants to end strategic dependence on the U.S, which the US deep state has used, together with the Israeli deep state, to control Israeli policy. It means our leadership finally wants to act upon the understanding that the strings attached to that aid is a greater threat than the absence of the aid itself.
And we’re running out of time.
A U.S. Congressman told me this to my face, in his Capitol Hill office just a few months ago:
We only have a year and a half to make Israel as independent as possible, with its own production capability of all weapons and munitions. Because America needs a strong and secure Israel, and future administrations will be even worse than the Biden administration. And we might lose the House and Senate in the midterms.
This isn’t paranoia. It’s reality. He knows that for America to be safe, and protected from future damaging administrations, Israel must be independent!
You can’t depend on a White House that hires Muslim Britherhood officials to senior government positions. You can’t trust a media that whitewashes Jew-haters while condemning Jews for defending themselves. And you certainly can’t stake your future on a system being swallowed by “progressive”, really regressive radicals who see Israel as the enemy.
So when Netanyahu says Israel is “considering stopping U.S. military aid,” it’s not just a policy discussion—it’s a bombshell.
Israel must prepare for full independence—militarily, economically, diplomatically. And every Jew and every Zionist around the world must step up and support Israel’s sovereignty, not in theory but in action.
Because the era of dependence is ending.
And the era of Jewish strength must begin—on our terms, with our values, and without permission from Washington.
Trump’s recent decisions—and statements from close allies like Governor Mike Huckabee—make one thing increasingly clear: they are signaling, intentionally or not, that it’s time for Israel to stand on its own two feet.
Am I still worried about Trump administration connections to Qatar, the evil master of the Muslim Britherhood and founder of the Oct. 7th? Yes, I am.
But, while at first glance some of the Trump administration moves may appear disappointing or confusing, ie – the U.S. deal with the Houthis that does not include Israel – especially to those expecting unwavering alignment, the deeper message is strategic.
They are pushing Israel to become more independent, more self-reliant, and less entangled in the dangerous dependency on American political tides.
This is the lens through which I believe we must interpret the Trump team’s actions—not as abandonment, but as a challenge to rise. And it’s the greatest opportunity we’ve had in generations: to finally step fully into our God given role in the region as the strong, sovereign regional indigenous nation we were meant to be, free of any foreign master pulling our strings.
~~~~~~
!!
The only thing I can find on this subject was from January and it was made clear that military aid to Israel was not being changed.
Saying, “Thanks, but no thanks,” is something a lot of us have been advocating for years. In fact a whole series was published on Tablet.
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/end-american-aid-israel
……..
But Rabbi Dov Fischer put it in the best, most positive terms that reflect the way most Israelis regard PTrump.
(In fact, they go kinda overboard. He can do no wrong. He’s Cyrus, he’s The One.)
But Rabbi Fischer is an American who’s got it perfectly:
The blessing of Trump making his own deals without Israel
When Trump puts America First, it should remind Israelis not to put their faith even in the best American president Israel ever has known and probably ever will.
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/408132
We’re thrilled to hear it.
“We” includes people this site knows well, like Caroline Glick and Dan Pipes. Plus contacts from Singapore to India.
IF Bibi actually gets it done.
People read the tealeaves.
Those who’ve become overly reliant on everybody’s favorite Uncle (Sam) have to take on more responsibility as individual nations. Global (or globalist) institutions are not their friends.
The USA will have to accommodate the AOCs and the MTGs. Harvard epitomizes the total rot of our institutions. Funded by Gutter, facilitated by savvy Marxists, infiltration is deep and wide. The unspeakable has become normalized, incitement celebrated. Worse yet, those who challenge the trend find themselves in the crosshairs.
That’s most prevalent among the so-called elites, not in the Heartland. But as the power structure balances on what they call “democracy”, those who champion our Republic are stymied at every turn. Will it take 25 years to reverse what Soviets called “demoralization”? Can we temporize that long?
Europe is an object lesson.
Germany outsourced the unfinished holocaust to the tards in the Middle East. Less productive European countries followed the leader. Again. The USSR was an enthusiastic partner. Again.
The collapse of the Communist Empire disrupted the process. Destruction of the West wasn’t going fast enough, so hardcore stalwarts like Merkel (together with globalist accomplices) gave the old Continent the coup de grace:
They opened the gates of hell.
This will end in the proverbial rivers of blood.

I know. Amir’s the first reality check for me.
I’ve felt ashamed because my joy at Edan’s release is not unmitigated.
just relax and take it, b!xch!Vivian doesn’t get it.
How many young soldiers will be sacrificed for the remaining hostages – or their remains? 1000s more?
How many innocents will be murdered by the multitudes of murderers exchanged for the body of each hostage, living or dead?
Someone’s lost the plot.
VLAD: The Bezmenov videos are spectacular but the fact that you recommended this particular video without mentioning the addition of a factually incorrect Putin quote that the video editor intended as his own Active Measure is deeply ironic. How could you have recommended this video without mentioning the dishonest propaganda of the first 10 seconds of the video which intentionally frames Bezmenov’s presentation in a clear act of propaganda Bezmenov himself would have absolutely rejected?
Below is the most recent comment to this video:
I asked Elon’s AI GROK: “Did Putin really say that up to 80 to 85% of the first Soviet government members were Jewish?” GROK gave a lengthy reply, the gist of which is: Yes, Putin said it. But no, it is not accurate nor is there any credible documentation to support this claim.
Specifically, GROK noted: “This claim is widely disputed by historians and considered inaccurate. The first Soviet government, specifically the Council of People’s Commissars (Sovnarkom) formed in 1917, had 16 or 18 members, depending on the source, with only one confirmed Jewish member, Leon Trotsky, making the Jewish representation around 6-8%. Historian Vladimir Ryzhkov and others, such as the editors of the Russian newspaper Vedomosti, have criticized Putin’s statement as rooted in misinformation, possibly from nationalist tabloids he read during the perestroika era.. . .and even in the broader Central Committee by 1922, Jewish members (such as Trotsky, Zinoviev, and Kamenev) constituted about 10-12%.The claim has been echoed on X, with users . . . repeating Putin’s 80-85% figure, often framing it to support narratives about Jewish influence in the Bolshevik Revolution. However, these posts lack primary evidence and reflect the statement’s persistence in certain online circles rather than its historical accuracy.
In summary, Putin did make the claim, but it is not backed by credible historical data and is considered an exaggeration rooted in outdated or biased narratives.”
Actually this is an example of haste makes for errors. I actually thought I passed that one and looked for one that didn’t have this active measure. I guess I embedded the wrong one.
you are perfectly correct in your assessment of it.
I will find the edit of Bezmanov I meant to use and upload that.
At the moment, Rumble appears to be down for the second time in 24 hours or so. So I can’t even check the one I uploaded.
I will fix when possible.
Thanks for the catch!
Thank-you.
I’ve seen this video many times but never paid attention to that intro.
The truth is slippery, especially about that specific minority group. And Putin is the most positive in history – and reversal is highly likely in the future.
Episcopal Church Ends Refugee Partnership with U.S. Government — Cites Moral Opposition to Resettling Persecuted White Afrikaners from South Africa
thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/episcopal-church-ends-refugee-partnership-u-s-government/
May. 12, 2025 2:20 pm
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the leader of the Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) (Screenshot: The View/Youtube)
The far-left leadership of the Episcopal Church announced Monday that it is severing its nearly 40-year partnership with the U.S. government to resettle refugees — all because the Trump administration dared to classify white South African Afrikaners as refugees in need of protection.
The same Episcopal Church that prided itself on aiding persecuted people from war-torn regions is now walking away from its commitments simply because the next wave of refugees are white Christian farmers — victims of violent racial targeting in post-apartheid South Africa.
The church claims resettling these families would violate their ‘moral line,’ according to Religion News.
Afrikaner families have been facing widespread violence, including land seizures, farm attacks, and race-based targeting in South Africa — crimes so severe that human rights organizations around the world have raised the alarm for years.
The Presiding Bishop, the Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe, made it clear in a sanctimonious letter that the church would rather burn the bridge with the U.S. government than help what he sees as the ‘wrong’ kind of refugee.
According to the letter:
“Since January, the previously bipartisan U.S. Refugee Admissions Program in which we participate has essentially shut down. Virtually no new refugees have arrived, hundreds of staff in resettlement agencies around the country have been laid off, and funding for resettling refugees who have already arrived has been uncertain.
Then, just over two weeks ago, the federal government informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees.
In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step. Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government.
[…]
It has been painful to watch one group of refugees, selected in a highly unusual manner, receive preferential treatment over many others who have been waiting in refugee camps or dangerous conditions for years. I am saddened and ashamed that many of the refugees who are being denied entrance to the United States are brave people who worked alongside our military in Iraq and Afghanistan and now face danger at home because of their service to our country. I also grieve that victims of religious persecution, including Christians, have not been granted refuge in recent months.
As Christians, we must be guided not by political vagaries, but by the sure and certain knowledge that the kingdom of God is revealed to us in the struggles of those on the margins. Jesus tells us to care for the poor and vulnerable as we would care for him, and we must follow that command. Right now, what that means is ending our participation in the federal government’s refugee resettlement program and investing our resources in serving migrants in other ways.”
It can be recalled that Bishop Mariann Budde, who famously criticized Trump during an inaugural prayer service, has been found to have pocketed a staggering $53 million in taxpayer funds through her organization, Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM).
Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) is the refugee resettlement and immigrant advocacy program of the Episcopal Church.
In 2023 alone, EMM raked in $53 million to resettle 3,600 individuals, according to the New York Post.
The news outlet added that in 2024, EMM “sponsored” 6,400 individuals from 48 countries, including Afghans under a special humanitarian program and refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
These new arrivals are immediately eligible for all forms of welfare, such as Medicaid and cash assistance, on the same basis as U.S. citizens. Further, they can sponsor friends and relatives under a recent Biden expansion of the refugee resettlement program.
According to the New York Post, “EMM brings in LGBTQ refugees and asylees in a special federal refugee program started during the Obama administration called ‘Preferred Communities.”
In the twisted moral calculus of today’s Episcopal Church, the white Afrikaner families don’t deserve compassion. They’re the wrong color.
Instead of acknowledging the growing persecution these farmers face, Rowe lectured congregants about the church’s commitment to “racial justice and reconciliation.”

They’re making a vile statement to grab DIE headlines.
But rest assured, they won’t stray far from their feeding trough.
TEC is saying by this that it has chosen to align itself with radical marxist ideologies rather that Christian compassion for all men. TEC is 180 degrees out of alignment with traditional Jewish and Christian scriptures.
JUST IN: Kristi Noem Issues Stern Warning as Trump Admin. Launches Landmark Investigation into California Providing Federal Benefits to Illegal Aliens
thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/just-kristi-noem-issues-stern-warning-as-trump/
May. 12, 2025 11:30 am
Kristi Noem
California Governor Gavin Newsom and his fellow Democrat cronies are in hot water with Team Trump for openly flouting immigration law, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has a brutal message for those illegal aliens and states who continue to break the law.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Monday morning in a press release that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Los Angeles Field Office issued a Title 8 subpoena to the State of California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI). California Democrats have utilized this program for years to provide benefits to migrants ineligible for Social Security benefits due to their immigration status.
The DHS is demanding all records from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services to ascertain whether illegals received Supplemental Security Income (SSI) from the Social Security Administration. The subpoena covers the years since 2021.
Per the press release, HSI Los Angeles has subpoenaed the following records:
• Applicant’s Name and Date of Birth
• Copies of Applications
• Immigration Status
• Proof of Ineligibility for SSI from the Social Security Administration
• Affidavits in Support of the Application
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem released a statement warning that this action from the administration was only the beginning against lawless states, and illegals should get out while they still can:
Radical left politicians in California prioritize illegal aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens access to cash benefits. The Trump Administration is working together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally.
If you are an illegal immigrant, you should leave now. The gravy train is over. While this subpoena focuses only on Los Angeles County – it is just the beginning.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump signed an executive order last month to ban illegal aliens from obtaining Social Security benefits.
The memorandum orders the Secretary of Homeland Security in consultation with other departments to not only ensure that ineligible illegals do not receive funds from Social Security programs but also greenlight civil or criminal enforcement against states or localities for potential violations.
California is now the first of hopefully many other Democrat-run states to pay the price for breaking the law. Now, will we see arrests as well?

Readers? It may be here for May 13th but lately the site doesn’t always reload freshly.
EPIC. Here’s an important development about the aspiring Islamic city in Texas. One wonders if a very successful feature of creating an information battle space is to camouflage events so important that they go unnoticed by the majority of people:
I don’t profess to understand the supposed rift between PT and Bibi, but a huge mistake made long ago was to give control of the oil in the ground to the Saudis. This move provided fuel, money and power for ever-expansionist Islam.
Islam now moves so boldly as to attempt to establish a very meaningful beachhead in Texas, of all places. What is a beachhead?
Beachhead:
noun
A position on an enemy shoreline captured by troops in advance of an invading force.
A first achievement that opens the way for further developments; a foothold.
An area in hostile territory that has been occupied and is held to allow additional troops and supplies to enter.
Well, hurray for those stopping this particular beachhead, but will we be alert to the next? Are we alert to the massive influx of adherent Muslims throughout North America? When it happens in Canada will similar opponents be silenced by accusations of racism?
I think it is fair to believe that if this is happening in Texas, then positioning moves are afoot all around us:
