thelibertybeacon--2020-08-25--How Facebook Secret Unit Created India’s Troll Armies For Digital Propaganda To Influence Elections

In December 2017 , GreatGameIndia revealed how a secret unit of Facebook helped create troll armies for governments around the world , including India , for digital propaganda to influence elections .
We are republishing the report owing to repeated requests from our readers .
Under fire for Facebook Inc. ’ s role as a platform for political propaganda , co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has punched back , saying his mission is above partisanship .
But Facebook , it turns out , is no bystander in global politics .
What he hasn ’ t said is that his company actively works @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those who use the platform to stifle opposition—sometimes with the aid of “ troll armies ” that spread misinformation and extremist ideologies .
The initiative is run by a little-known Facebook global government and politics team led from Washington by Katie Harbath , a former digital strategist who worked on 2014 Indian elections .
Since Facebook hired Harbath to run their secret global government and politics unit three years later , her team has traveled the globe ( including India ) helping political clients use the company ’ s powerful digital tools to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In India ( and many other countries as well ) , the unit ’ s employees have become de facto campaign workers .
And once a candidate is elected , the company in some instances goes on to train government employees or provide technical assistance for live streams at official state events .
In the U.S. , the unit embedded employees in Trump ’ s campaign .
In India , the company helped develop the online presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi , who now has more Facebook followers than any other world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , members of Harbath ’ s team sit alongside Facebook advertising sales staff who help monetize the often viral attention stirred up by elections and politics .
They train politicians and leaders how to set up a campaign page and get it authenticated with a blue verification check mark , how to best use video to engage viewers and how to target ads to critical voting blocs .
Once those candidates are elected , their relationship with Facebook can help extend the company ’ s reach into government in meaningful ways , such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regulations .
That problem is exacerbated when Facebook ’ s engine of democracy is deployed in an undemocratic fashion .
A November report by Freedom House , a U.S.-based nonprofit that advocates for political and human rights , found that a growing number of countries are “ manipulating social media to undermine democracy.
” One aspect of that involves “ patriotic trolling , ” or the use of government-backed harassment and propaganda meant to control the narrative , silence dissidents and consolidate power .
In 2007 , Facebook opened its first office in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year saw the rise of the world ’ s first “ Facebook President ” in Barack Obama , who with the platform ’ s help was able to reach millions of voters in the weeks before the election .
The number of Facebook users surged around the Arab Spring uprisings in the Middle East around 2010 and 2011 , demonstrating the broad power of the platform to influence democracy .
By the time Facebook named Harbath to lead its global politics and government unit , elections were becoming major social-media attractions .
Facebook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world .
Facebook has embedded itself in some of the globe ’ s most controversial political movements while resisting transparency .
Since 2011 , it has asked the U.S. Federal Election Commission for blanket exemptions from political advertising disclosure rules that could have helped it avoid the current crisis over Russian ad spending ahead of the 2016 election .
The company ’ s relationship with governments remains complicated .
Facebook has come under fire in the European Union , including for the spread of Islamic extremism on its network .
The company @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it will only provide user data to governments if that request is legally sufficient , and will push back in court if it ’ s not .
India is arguably Facebook ’ s most important market recently edging out the U.S. as the company ’ s biggest .
The number of users here is growing twice as fast as in the U.S. And that doesn ’ t even count the 200 million people who use the company ’ s WhatsApp messaging service in India , more than anywhere else on the globe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s 2014 elections , Facebook had for months been working with several campaigns .
Modi relied heavily on Facebook and WhatsApp to recruit volunteers who in turn spread his message on social media .
Since his election , Modi ’ s Facebook followers have risen to 43 million , almost twice Trump ’ s count .
Within weeks of Modi ’ s election , Zuckerberg and Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg both visited India as it was rolling out a critical free internet service that was later curbed due to massive protests .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ here , offering a series of workshops and sessions that have trained more than 6,000 government officials .
For rolling out this project in India , Sheryl Sandberg , COO , Facebook heading the secret global government and politics unit met Ravi Shankar Prasad , Minister for Communications and Information Technology in New Delhi .
“ We wish to work together .
Facebook is there in India in nine languages and I have requested them to add more languages to it , ” Prasad told media persons after meeting Facebook Chief Operating Officer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Another meeting was arranged between India ’ s Information & Broadcasting Secretary , Shri Bimal Julka with Katie Harbath , Global Manager for Facebook ’ s Politics & Govt .
Outreach who ran Facebook ’ s secret unit .
As Modi ’ s social media reach grew , his followers increasingly turned to Facebook and WhatsApp to target harassment campaigns against his political rivals .
India has become a hotbed for fake news , with one hoax story this year that circulated on WhatsApp leading to mob beatings resulting in several deaths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increasingly dangerous place for opposition parties and reporters .
However , it ’ s not just Modi or the Bharatiya Janata Party who has utilized Facebook ’ s services .
The company says it offers the same tools and services to all candidates and governments regardless of political affiliation , and even to civil society groups that may have a lesser voice .
There are also allegations that even the opposition Congress party was in talks with Cambridge Analytica to re-brand Rahul Gandhi ’ s image , which is being investigated for stealing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ data of 50 millions of its users to influence the 2016 Presidential Elections of USA .
A 2014 study titled “ Experimental evidence of massive-scale emotional contagion through social networks ” manipulated the balance of positive and negative messages seen by 689,000 Facebook users .
The paper details the experiment running from January 11 to 18 , 2012 , in an attempt to identify emotional contagion effects by altering the amount of emotional content in the targeted users ’ news feed .
The researchers concluded that they had found “ some of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claims that emotions can spread throughout a network , [ though ] the effect sizes from the manipulations are small ” .
The study was criticized for both its ethics and methods/claims .
As controversy about the study grew , Adam Kramer , a lead author of both studies and member of the Facebook data team , defended the work in a Facebook update .
A few days later , Sheryl Sandburg , Facebook ’ s COO , made a statement while travelling to India .
While at an Indian Chambers of Commerce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that : So what was this new revolutionary product for which Facebook was conducting psychological experiments on emotion manipulation of its users ?
These revolutionary products are called digital propaganda Troll Armies that spread Fake News like wildfire assisting its clients during elections .
Shortly thereafter , on July 3 , 2014 , USA Today reported that the privacy watchdog group Electronic Privacy Information Center ( EPIC ) had filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) claiming that Facebook had broken the law when it conducted the study @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their knowledge or consent .
In its complaint , the EPIC alleged that Facebook had deceived it users by secretly conducting a psychological experiment on their emotions : Most of the guinea pigs for these emotion manipulation experiments were Indians .
Most of us don ’ t give much thought to what we post on social media , and a lot of what we see on social media is pretty innocuous .
However , it only seems that way at first glance .
The truth is that what we post online has frightening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Washington , the things we post on social media could be utilized by software to predict future events – maybe even the next Prime Minister of India .
In a paper that ’ s just been published on Arxiv , the team of researchers found that social media can be used to “ detect and predict offline events ” .
Twitter analysis can accurately predict civil unrest , for instance , because people use certain hashtags to discuss issues online before their anger bubbles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most famous example of this came during the Arab Spring , when clear signs of the impending protests and unrest were found on social networks days before people took to the streets .
The reverse of this is also true .
Meaning that anger can also be manufactured on social media , and once it reaches an optimum level , it can be targeted onto real life events on the streets as we have been witnessing since at least a couple of years in India with cases of mob lynchings and such .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ industry has sprung up exercising influence over traditional political discourse and has the potential to become a security challenge like the Arab Spring if not kept in check .
As the debate over mob lynching in India is raging it should be understood that such incidents would not have had such a rapid and massive effect if the youth had not had access to Facebook , Twitter , YouTube , and other social media that allowed the fake news industry to organise and share made-up videos and information .
The mob lynchings during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the fake news industry spilling over from social media to the real world .
This takes on a totally new dimension now that it has been revealed that Facebook & WhatsApp itself colluded with the establishment in creating such “ troll armies ” for digital propaganda , resulting directly in violence on Indian soil .
This is a clear textbook case of terrorism .
Terrorism is defined as ‘ the systematic use of terror or violence by any individual or group to achieve political goals ’ .
In this case , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – Facebook – on Indian soil using digital information warfare .
What more are we waiting for to respond to such an act ?
Fake News was used very effectively during US Presidential elections .
It was part of the official campaign itself run in collaboration with tech companies , and it is also being alleged that even the Russians also ran their own network .
The same method was used to shape the Brexit debate as well .
As we write this , the fake news industry is spreading its tentacles in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s leading sportsmen , celebrities , economists and politicians have already fallen victim to this by disseminating such fake content .
This is a dangerous trend and should be kept in check by our intelligence agencies to avert future disaster .
( ER : Wouldn ’ t the intelligence agencies be complicit in this ? )
The way it works in short is like this .
Numerous websites and portals of varying degrees of legitimacy and funding are floated .
Specific news content is generated for different groups based on their region @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which is mixed with a heavy dose of soft porn to slowly blend in with their objective .
These fake contents are than peddled in social media and specific groups targeted via analytics tools developed by tech companies .
As a lot of such fake content is generated slowly , it starts gaining a momentum of its own , and somewhere down the line it is picked up by any unsuspecting person of influence – celebrities , politicians and even journalists themselves .
What happens after this point is sheer madness .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ even the mainstream media starts peddling this nonsense , dedicating their entire primetime news shows in analyzing the fake news , who said what and why and blah blah… instead of identifying where the fake content was generated in the first place and getting it shut down .
Due to the nature and sensationalism of the generated content and also because it ’ s echoed by persons of influence , with time this fake worldview has the potential to spill over in the real world with physical casualties , as we have seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not kept in check , it could capture and take over the entire national discourse .
We will reach a point where it will be very difficult to keep track of what is fact or fiction , and the entire society would be radicalized into different opposing camps all based on lies .
( ER : Which we ’ re now seeing in relation to the ‘ covid-19 ’ fear campaign of masks , lockdowns and ruthless trampling of civil liberties . )
Around the time of the Indian election in May 2014 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked “ Did Google affect the outcome of the Indian election ?
” Beneath the headline was an iceberg – If Facebook can tweak our emotions and make us vote , what else can it do ?
Surprisingly , the Election Commission of India itself has partnered with Facebook for voter registration during the election process .
Dr. Nasim Zaidi , Chief Election Commissioner , Election Commission of India , said “ I am pleased to announce that the Election Commission of India is going to launch a ‘ Special Drive to enrol @ @ @ @ @ @ @ focus on first time electors .
This is a step towards fulfilment of the motto of ECI that ‘ NO VOTER TO BE LEFT BEHIND ’ .
( ER : this sounds like a massive data scoop . )
As part of this campaign , Facebook will run a voter registration reminder in multiple Indian languages to all the Facebook users in India .
I urge all eligible citizens to enrol and VOTE , i.e .
Recognize your Right and Perform your Duty .
I am sure Facebook will strengthen the Election Commission @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encourage future voters to participate in the Electoral Process and become responsible Citizens of India .
So how would all this harvesting of data by Facebook and used by Cambridge Analytica actually impact the common Indians or the election process or even cases of violence , from online to offline ?
Here is a brief perspective for you to understand the amount of influence this kind of data can have on you personally and on the whole country generally .
This process starts with understanding the individual voter .
In a keynote speech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , CEO Alexander Nix claimed that with 10 Facebook Likes , Cambridge Analytica can predict an individual ’ s behaviour better than their work colleague might .
They only need 70 to make behavioural predictions better than a friend ; 150 to understand a voter better than a parent ; and with 300 Likes , his organisation can predict a person ’ s actions , thoughts , and feelings better than their spouse .
All 17 American Intelligence agencies have raised serious concern about the impact of this fake news industry on their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center , a majority of Americans ( a whopping 88 % ) believe that completely made-up news has left Americans confused about even the basic facts .
And we in India are heading towards a worse scenario than this .
Why ?
Because unlike India , the US Government and Intelligence community has publicly addressed this issue and are working towards resolving this menace .
( ER : somehow we doubt this optimistic thought . )
Will the Indian govt address such meddling by Facebook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Committee after committee is being setup , senate hearings are being convened to get to the bottom of this and new Units are being created to effectively counter this threat to their society .
While Facebook is being investigated for meddling in US Presidential elections , not much focus has been given to how Facebook ’ s secret unit has influenced elections in India .
In light of these revelations , Facebook ’ s interference in India ’ s elections should be thoroughly investigated .
Of course , in order to do so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acknowledge the existence of this fake news industry in order to take action against it .
It will be a grave mistake to take this threat of foreign companies interfering in India ’ s elections lightly .

How Facebook Secret Unit Created India’s Troll Armies For Digital Propaganda To Influence Elections
In December 2017, GreatGameIndia revealed how a secret unit of Facebook helped create troll armies for governments around the world, including India, for digital propaganda to influence elections. We are republishing the report owing to repeated requests from our readers.
Digital Gangsters
Under fire for Facebook Inc.’s role as a platform for political propaganda, co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has punched back, saying his mission is above partisanship.
But Facebook, it turns out, is no bystander in global politics. What he hasn’t said is that his company actively works with political parties and leaders, including those who use the platform to stifle opposition—sometimes with the aid of “troll armies” that spread misinformation and extremist ideologies.

At meetings with political campaigns, members of Harbath’s team sit alongside Facebook advertising sales staff who help monetize the often viral attention stirred up by elections and politics. They train politicians and leaders how to set up a campaign page and get it authenticated with a blue verification check mark, how to best use video to engage viewers and how to target ads to critical voting blocs. Once those candidates are elected, their relationship with Facebook can help extend the company’s reach into government in meaningful ways, such as being well positioned to push against regulations.
That problem is exacerbated when Facebook’s engine of democracy is deployed in an undemocratic fashion. A November report by Freedom House, a U.S.-based nonprofit that advocates for political and human rights, found that a growing number of countries are “manipulating social media to undermine democracy.” One aspect of that involves “patriotic trolling,” or the use of government-backed harassment and propaganda meant to control the narrative, silence dissidents and consolidate power.

Facebook has embedded itself in some of the globe’s most controversial political movements while resisting transparency. Since 2011, it has asked the U.S. Federal Election Commission for blanket exemptions from political advertising disclosure rules that could have helped it avoid the current crisis over Russian ad spending ahead of the 2016 election.

Facebook Secret Unit in India
India is arguably Facebook’s most important market recently edging out the U.S. as the company’s biggest.

India has become a hotbed for fake news, with one hoax story this year that circulated on WhatsApp leading to mob beatings resulting in several deaths.

Facebook’s Emotion Manipulation Experiments on Indians
Most of the guinea pigs for these emotion manipulation experiments were Indians.
A 2014 study titled “Experimental evidence of massive-scale emotional contagion through social networks” manipulated the balance of positive and negative messages seen by 689,000 Facebook users. The paper details the experiment running from January 11 to 18, 2012, in an attempt to identify emotional contagion effects by altering the amount of emotional content in the targeted users’ news feed.

A few days later, Sheryl Sandburg, Facebook’s COO, made a statement while travelling to India. While at an Indian Chambers of Commerce event in New Delhi, she stated that:
“This was part of ongoing research companies do to test different products, and that was what it was. It was poorly communicated and for that communication we apologize. We never meant to upset you.”
So what was this new revolutionary product for which Facebook was conducting psychological experiments on emotion manipulation of its users? These revolutionary products are called digital propaganda Troll Armies that spread Fake News like wildfire assisting its clients during elections.
Shortly thereafter, on July 3, 2014, USA Today reported that the privacy watchdog group Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) had filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) claiming that Facebook had broken the law when it conducted the study on the emotions of its users without their knowledge or consent. In its complaint, the EPIC alleged that Facebook had deceived it users by secretly conducting a psychological experiment on their emotions:
“At the time of the experiment, Facebook did not state in the Data Use Policy that user data would be used for research purposes. Facebook also failed to inform users that their personal information would be shared with researchers.”
Most of the guinea pigs for these emotion manipulation experiments were Indians.
Most of us don’t give much thought to what we post on social media, and a lot of what we see on social media is pretty innocuous. However, it only seems that way at first glance. The truth is that what we post online has frightening potential. According to recent research from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Washington, the things we post on social media could be utilized by software to predict future events – maybe even the next Prime Minister of India.

How India’s Fake News Ecosystem Work
In India, a massive fake news industry has sprung up exercising influence over traditional political discourse and has the potential to become a security challenge like the Arab Spring if not kept in check. As the debate over mob lynching in India is raging it should be understood that such incidents would not have had such a rapid and massive effect if the youth had not had access to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media that allowed the fake news industry to organise and share made-up videos and information. The mob lynchings during the past years are a direct result of the fake news industry spilling over from social media to the real world.
This takes on a totally new dimension now that it has been revealed that Facebook & WhatsApp itself colluded with the establishment in creating such “troll armies” for digital propaganda, resulting directly in violence on Indian soil. This is a clear textbook case of terrorism. Terrorism is defined as ‘the systematic use of terror or violence by any individual or group to achieve political goals’. In this case, this terrorism is perpetrated by a foreign company – Facebook – on Indian soil using digital information warfare. What more are we waiting for to respond to such an act?

The way it works in short is like this. Numerous websites and portals of varying degrees of legitimacy and funding are floated. Specific news content is generated for different groups based on their region, ideology, age, religion etc., which is mixed with a heavy dose of soft porn to slowly blend in with their objective. These fake contents are than peddled in social media and specific groups targeted via analytics tools developed by tech companies. As a lot of such fake content is generated slowly, it starts gaining a momentum of its own, and somewhere down the line it is picked up by any unsuspecting person of influence – celebrities, politicians and even journalists themselves. What happens after this point is sheer madness.
Whether by choice or by ignorance, even the mainstream media starts peddling this nonsense, dedicating their entire primetime news shows in analyzing the fake news, who said what and why and blah blah… instead of identifying where the fake content was generated in the first place and getting it shut down. Due to the nature and sensationalism of the generated content and also because it’s echoed by persons of influence, with time this fake worldview has the potential to spill over in the real world with physical casualties, as we have seen in so many lynching cases.

Facebook & Indian Elections
Around the time of the Indian election in May 2014, a serious-headlined story began spreading which asked “Did Google affect the outcome of the Indian election?” Beneath the headline was an iceberg – If Facebook can tweak our emotions and make us vote, what else can it do?
Surprisingly, the Election Commission of India itself has partnered with Facebook for voter registration during the election process. Dr. Nasim Zaidi, Chief Election Commissioner, Election Commission of India, said “I am pleased to announce that the Election Commission of India is going to launch a ‘Special Drive to enrol left out electors, with a particular focus on first time electors. This is a step towards fulfilment of the motto of ECI that ‘NO VOTER TO BE LEFT BEHIND’. (ER: this sounds like a massive data scoop.)
As part of this campaign, Facebook will run a voter registration reminder in multiple Indian languages to all the Facebook users in India. I urge all eligible citizens to enrol and VOTE, i.e. Recognize your Right and Perform your Duty. I am sure Facebook will strengthen the Election Commission of India’s enrolment campaign and encourage future voters to participate in the Electoral Process and become responsible Citizens of India.
So how would all this harvesting of data by Facebook and used by Cambridge Analytica actually impact the common Indians or the election process or even cases of violence, from online to offline?
Here is a brief perspective for you to understand the amount of influence this kind of data can have on you personally and on the whole country generally.

Because unlike India, the US Government and Intelligence community has publicly addressed this issue and are working towards resolving this menace. (ER: somehow we doubt this optimistic thought.) Will the Indian govt address such meddling by Facebook in India’s internal affairs?
Committee after committee is being setup, senate hearings are being convened to get to the bottom of this and new Units are being created to effectively counter this threat to their society. While Facebook is being investigated for meddling in US Presidential elections, not much focus has been given to how Facebook’s secret unit has influenced elections in India. In light of these revelations, Facebook’s interference in India’s elections should be thoroughly investigated. Of course, in order to do so, first the Govt should have to acknowledge the existence of this fake news industry in order to take action against it.
It will be a grave mistake to take this threat of foreign companies interfering in India’s elections lightly.

UK Care Homes were ‘PUSHED’ to Admit Covid-Positive & Untested Patients at Height of Outbreak – New Survey

ER Editor : We also highly recommend this opinion piece from Scottish RT correspondent Rob Lyons from a few days ago , titled The coronavirus scandal becomes criminal : Elderly hospital patients who tested positive WERE discharged BACK into UK care homes .
Of note in the piece below is that pressure was coming from the national public health authority – the NHS no less – to irresponsibly discharge the elderly with covid from hospitals into carehomes .
The medical logic is astonishing .
Note that the movement of the elderly was permitted in ONE direction only – from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home staff were generally not permitted to send sick residents TO a hospital for any reason nor were GPs permitted to treat them in the normal one-on-one fashion .
We also recommend this piece by Ashley Cowburn for the Independent from August 12 , titled Care home residents facing prison-like conditions and ‘ losing will to live ’ since lockdown , MPs hear .
Only some care homes have been opened up for family visits since just last month ( July ) .
Of note : The director of R & RA outlined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” during the lockdown , including isolation from both external contacts and internally from care homes restricting movements and asking residents to remain in their rooms .
“ Shared areas would be closed , lack of activities , so that people living in care homes were not getting the support and interactions they would normally get with other residents and with many staff members , ” she said .
“ If you take away that social element , the social support networks that people have , homes become very different places and sadly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been telling us that the current situation in care homes is now very much like a prison.
” In evidence submitted to the APPG on coronavirus ahead of the session , Ms Wildbore added : “ Isolation is having a devastating impact on mental well-being .
We hear of people who become increasingly depressed and withdrawn : they have stopped eating or drinking , lost speech , think their relatives have ‘ abandoned ’ them or passed away , and have ‘ lost the will to live ’ .
Some care users @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and friends ” .
“ Particularly disturbing for many of our helpline callers has been the part of the guidance which says a care home resident should have one , single , constant visitor , which is just impractical for many people and heartbreaking for many families , who may have two , three , more people who want to visit and provide different types of support.
” It is impossible to believe that highly paid experts and specialists in the medical care field could not have anticipated this .
And this today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mail on those infamous ‘ Do Not Resuscitate ’ ( DNR ) orders imposed on care home residents as well as others who were not in care homes : NHS managers told care homes to put blanket ‘ do not resuscitate ’ orders on ALL residents at height of Covid crisis , report shows .
The report below is based on this from the Independent by Shaun Lintern .
Here is the QNI ( Queen ’ s Nursing Institute ) study itself , upon which MSM reporting is based : Major New Survey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Covid-19 .
UK care homes were ‘ PUSHED ’ to admit Covid-positive and untested patients at height of the outbreak , new survey shows The staff at 70 care homes , 43 percent of those surveyed , said that they received patients discharged from hospitals who were not tested for Covid-19 during March and April , when the outbreak first hit the country and peaked .
A fifth of care homes said they received patients who tested positive .
The study revealed that , in some cases , seriously ill patents were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even when the homes warned that they were incapable of looking after them .

ER Editor: We also highly recommend this opinion piece from Scottish RT correspondent Rob Lyons from a few days ago, titled The coronavirus scandal becomes criminal: Elderly hospital patients who tested positive WERE discharged BACK into UK care homes.
Of note in the piece below is that pressure was coming from the national public health authority – the NHS no less – to irresponsibly discharge the elderly with covid from hospitals into carehomes. The medical logic is astonishing.
Note that the movement of the elderly was permitted in ONE direction only – from the hospital to the care home. Care home staff were generally not permitted to send sick residents TO a hospital for any reason nor were GPs permitted to treat them in the normal one-on-one fashion.
We also recommend this piece by Ashley Cowburn for the Independent from August 12, titled Care home residents facing prison-like conditions and ‘losing will to live’ since lockdown, MPs hear. Only some care homes have been opened up for family visits since just last month (July). Of note:
The director of R&RA outlined that many residents faced “double isolation” during the lockdown, including isolation from both external contacts and internally from care homes restricting movements and asking residents to remain in their rooms. “Shared areas would be closed, lack of activities, so that people living in care homes were not getting the support and interactions they would normally get with other residents and with many staff members,” she said. “If you take away that social element, the social support networks that people have, homes become very different places and sadly many of the callers to our helpline have been telling us that the current situation in care homes is now very much like a prison.” … In evidence submitted to the APPG on coronavirus ahead of the session, Ms Wildbore added: “Isolation is having a devastating impact on mental well-being. We hear of people who become increasingly depressed and withdrawn: they have stopped eating or drinking, lost speech, think their relatives have ‘abandoned’ them or passed away, and have ‘lost the will to live’. Some care users no longer recognise or remember their family and friends”. … “Particularly disturbing for many of our helpline callers has been the part of the guidance which says a care home resident should have one, single, constant visitor, which is just impractical for many people and heartbreaking for many families, who may have two, three, more people who want to visit and provide different types of support.”
It is impossible to believe that highly paid experts and specialists in the medical care field could not have anticipated this.
And this today (August 24) from the Daily Mail on those infamous ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ (DNR) orders imposed on care home residents as well as others who were not in care homes: NHS managers told care homes to put blanket ‘do not resuscitate’ orders on ALL residents at height of Covid crisis, report shows.
The report below is based on this from the Independent by Shaun Lintern. Here is the QNI (Queen’s Nursing Institute) study itself, upon which MSM reporting is based: Major New Survey of Care Home Leaders Confirms Severe Impact of Covid-19.
********
UK care homes were ‘PUSHED’ to admit Covid-positive and untested patients at height of the outbreak, new survey shows
RT UK care home staff was “under constant pressure” from the NHS to take in coronavirus-positive and untested patients, while nurses were instructed not to resuscitate them, a new study has revealed. In a study whose key findings were first published by the Independent, the Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) surveyed nurses and managers working in 163 care homes across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
.
The staff at 70 care homes, 43 percent of those surveyed, said that they received patients discharged from hospitals who were not tested for Covid-19 during March and April, when the outbreak first hit the country and peaked. A fifth of care homes said they received patients who tested positive. The study revealed that, in some cases, seriously ill patents were brought into care homes from the hospitals even when the homes warned that they were incapable of looking after them. One nurse reported “constant pressure to admit people who were Covid-positive.” Another similarly said that “the acute sector pushed us to take untested admission.” “The two weeks of daily deaths during an outbreak were possibly the two worst weeks of my 35-year nursing career.” The staff reported that hospitals instructed them to change the status of all residents to “do not resuscitate.” One nurse said that such guidelines would “automatically” apply to all suspected or confirmed Covid-19 patients. Some of the surveyed nurses said that they refused to comply and challenged the instructions as “unethical.” At the same time, care homes were told that hospitals had a blanket “no admissions” policy during the height of the outbreak. QNI Chief Executive Crystal Oldman told the paper that the alarming findings were “symbolic” of how the government and the NHS viewed the care home system. “We were really surprised to see this. These are universal health services. It is completely opposite to the protective ring around care homes that was being talked about at the time.” Nearly 19,400 care home residents died from Covid-19 in England and Wales between March 2 and June 12, according to the most recent government data. The grim statistics were coupled with multiple reports about care home staff struggling to get vital protective gear, such as masks and gloves. The death toll in the care sector sparked constant criticism of the government, with Labour Party leader Keir Starmer calling the failure to protect care homes “a national shame.” Prime Minister Boris Johnson said last month that he took “full responsibility for what has happened,” but argued that the government had done all it could at the time. He said that the situation in the care sector was exacerbated by the fact that “nobody knew early on during this pandemic… that the virus was being passed asymptomatically from person to person.” ************ Original article

In a nutshell
by Fabian Ubiquitus
The pattern of treasonous behaviour by our government that sees it operating as a front group for as yet not fully exposed puppet masters is not unique to the UK.
There is a clearly orchestrated operation by several governments across the world working in concert to (a) present a smoke screen of lies, false stats and misinformation to the people so as to create a false scenario (b) use that false scenario as a justification to heavily suppress production and thereby wealth creation and our standard of living (c) use that false scenario as a justification to cut lines of communications between people nationally and internationally (d) use that false scenario as a justification to rescind basic human rights.
That common behaviour patterns shows us that we, The People, across the planet have a common enemy.
That common enemy has been a mischievous and destructive inhibition or outright block upon the efforts of the human community to flourish and create a Free World Order truly befitting the vast majority of decent and well-intentioned people.
The proxies for or collaborators with that common enemy are thoroughly infiltrated into and seeded throughout the political establishment and that establishment clearly does not itself believe the lies it has told in order to justify the aforementioned oppression.
That establishment considers that it is exempt from and above the rules that apply to the rest of us.
It works for itself and for its puppet masters. It does not work for all the people. This is clearly demonstrated by what it DOES as opposed to what it SAYS.
This is the subjugation of our planet and its human community by sly increments, by mind games, manipulation, falsehoods and deceit.
It is the work of cowards.
It is just not good enough. It is unacceptable. It MUST change.
YOU and your loved ones deserve better.
For the long term survival in good condition of you, your family, your community, your nation and the entire human community, the time has come to change this and create, together, the Free World Order.
We are not cattle.

Reporters substitute opinion for journalism in Republican convention coverage
Lines blurred between reporting and commentary
By Daniel Payne
As the 2020 Republican National Convention heads toward its conclusion Thursday night, media coverage of the event — and in particular of the president headlining it — has in many notable cases eschewed neutral, fact-based reporting in favor of something more akin to sly editorializing.
A barrage of biased news reports presented as fact-based journalism over the last few days may afford a preview of an election season sure to test the professional distance of journalists who have struggled throughout the years to report objectively and impartially on the Trump administration and, especially, the president himself.
Such bias was seen, for example, at The Hill, where reporter Niall Stanage on Wednesday claimed that the Republican National Convention is attempting to “detoxify Trump,” with Republicans struggling to prove that the president “isn’t a racist, a sexist or a xenophobe.”
“The GOP is having to spend a lot of time trying to prove what Trump isn’t,” Stanage wrote, “an effort that tells its own story about negative perceptions of the president and the degree to which he is languishing in the polls.”
On Wednesday, meanwhile, multiple media outlets, including the Huffington Post and the Daily Beast, appeared to surreptitiously advance a rumor that Donald Trump, Jr., had been high on cocaine during his Tuesday speech at the convention. “Donald Trump Jr. Denies RNC Speech Was Fueled by Cocaine, Blames Lighting for Sweaty Head,” the Beast reported. The rumor had earlier been promoted by numerous commentators, including “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert.
Elsewhere on Wednesday, Associated Press Washington Bureau Chief Julie Pace wrote that the convention is attempting to “airbrush Trump’s tenure.” Pace argued that Republicans were working to downplay “some of the darker and more controversial episodes of Trump’s nearly four years in office,” including Trump’s allegedly being “the architect of some of the nation’s harshest anti-immigration policies” as well as purportedly “stoking divisions” between races.
Credit/Doug Mills/The New York Times
Pace specifically referred to a segment showcasing Trump “jovially congratulating five immigrants as they were sworn in as new American citizens,” which she portrayed as an instance of the president “creating an alternate reality,” one in which he welcomes new immigrants rather than trying to scare off illegal border crossers by taking children away from their parents.
At The New York Times, reporter Michael Shear echoed that assessment, arguing that Trump’s “explicit claim that he loves and appreciates immigrants stands in stark contrast to his record over the past four years, during which he has repeatedly pursued anti-immigrant policies, often fueled by xenophobic language.”
The charge that Trump employs “xenophobic” rhetoric reflects a growing journalistic tendency to label people or actions as racist or bigoted regardless of underlying intentions. The Associated Press stylebook informs journalists that determining whether to call someone’s actions racist “need not involve examining the motivation of the person who spoke or acted.”
Journalists can also, the stylebook advises, use terms like “xenophobic” to describe actions and statements that “do not meet the definition of racist or racism.”

thelibertybeacon--2020-08-27--COVID: save the planet, save the virus [A Jon Rappoport Analysis]

Think of a propaganda story as a Vegas casino .
The casino wants you there gambling at the tables , losing your money .
But that central premise isn ’ t enough .
They have to add features .
The shows .
The pools .
The art exhibits .
The dolphins .
The illuminated fountains .
The story has to keep sprouting new dimensions and variations .
In other to keep people gambling .
In recent articles , I ’ ve presented compelling reasons to reject the notion that a new COVID virus exists .
Of course , many people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so they embellish it .
They add features based on no evidence .
They fantasize .
Here is a low-level attempt to save the virus : “ SARS-CoV-2 isn ’ t , all by itself , very dangerous .
But the elderly are extraordinarily SUSCEPTIBLE to it.
” As if , somehow , the virus calculates the numerical age of its potential victims .
“ This man is over 65 .
I ’ ll swoop down on him.
” Now we come to more strenuous efforts .
“ You see , 5G technology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the otherwise dormant virus and transforms it into a killer .
The virus was on an extended fast .
But now , it must munch food all day and all night , and its food is human cells… ” “ The virus doesn ’ t defeat the immune system .
It has an opposite effect .
It forces the immune system to go into overdrive , and this produces a cascade of misdirected attacks against organs of the body… ” “ The virus is a shapeshifter .
It not only mutates rapidly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disguises and thereby evades detection by antibodies… ” “ There are actually three strains of the virus .
The first two are relatively minor threats .
But the third is the real danger… ” Save the virus .
Save THE STORY ABOUT THE VIRUS .
Keep it going .
Don ’ t let it slip away .
Inside the Church of the Virus , the LAB is the holy of holies .
That ’ s where the deepest ceremonies are conducted .
The LAB must be protected .
Since no one ever proved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has potential problems .
So keep spinning out those stories about SARS-CoV-2 and keep roping in the audience .
Make each story sound credible .
People out in the world will help .
They ’ ll make up their own variations of the tale .
They can ’ t let go .
Then there is this : “ SCIENCE says we have to fear the virus and stay on lockdown until the vaccine arrives.
” Science is defined as ‘ the opposite of anything Trump thinks ’ .
” That ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ degree in something or other , from an elite university .
When you punch a hole in one of these bloated and enhanced virus-stories , someone will probably reply , “ But it ’ s possible .
It ’ s possible that the microwave in your kitchen alerts SARS-CoV-2 that it ’ s time to attack your liver… ” Yes , and in the same way it ’ s possible your entire blood supply is actually made up of trillions of tiny torpedoes , and it just so happens that the unique timbre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ torpedoes and launches them against your lung tissue .
But that doesn ’ t mean you can take this hypothesis to the bank and cash it .
Although it might mean you can land a job at the World Health Organization .
In days of old , a tyrant who ruled his people with an iron fist would consult his high priests when it was time to float a story that would advance his power and control .
“ Okay , boys , what have you got for me ?
” The highest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Your Greatness , there are traitors among us .
That story plays well .
Then there is , we are under threat from an outside enemy .
Always rallies the troops… ” The priests and the rulers would come up with their best effort .
In modern times , the people who need to sell stories hire large agencies to promote their narratives .
Or the agencies are on permanent retainers , like the CDC , who hype vaccine myths to the public , on behalf of the federal government and pharmaceutical companies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a whirl .
Come up with a few studies .
And while we ’ re at it , we need a new story line : anti-vaxxers are creating widespread fear of vaccination and this could cause ‘ good people ’ to experience psychological trauma when they actually receive the shot .
The trauma could bring on physical collapse .
It ’ s a little tricky , but try to sell it…we ’ re going to need to explain a slew of very nasty adverse effects when the COVID vaccine hits the market.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stories are sold and bought .
The addiction to story is solid and deep .
Discernment on the part of the buyer has never been known for its keenness .
Recently , a reader wrote to assure me the SARS-CoV-2 virus is real .
Her proof ?
A small group of doctors she admires know it ’ s real .
Talk about buying story .
Doctors ?
Are you kidding ?
99.99999 percent of doctors in the world are absolutely clueless about how a new virus should be proved to exist .

COVID: save the planet, save the virus
“The immune system can only counteract the virus temporarily. It comes back. You could test negative one day and positive the next day…”
Jon Rappoport
Think of a propaganda story as a Vegas casino. The casino wants you there gambling at the tables, losing your money. But that central premise isn’t enough. They have to add features. The shows. The pools. The art exhibits. The dolphins. The illuminated fountains. The story has to keep sprouting new dimensions and variations. In other to keep people gambling.
In recent articles, I’ve presented compelling reasons to reject the notion that a new COVID virus exists.
Of course, many people are determined to save the virus-story, so they embellish it. They add features based on no evidence. They fantasize.
Here is a low-level attempt to save the virus:
“SARS-CoV-2 isn’t, all by itself, very dangerous. But the elderly are extraordinarily SUSCEPTIBLE to it.” As if, somehow, the virus calculates the numerical age of its potential victims. “This man is over 65. I’ll swoop down on him.”
Now we come to more strenuous efforts. “You see, 5G technology has a unique ability. It ACTIVATES the otherwise dormant virus and transforms it into a killer. The virus was on an extended fast. But now, it must munch food all day and all night, and its food is human cells…”
“The virus doesn’t defeat the immune system. It has an opposite effect. It forces the immune system to go into overdrive, and this produces a cascade of misdirected attacks against organs of the body…”
“The virus is a shapeshifter. It not only mutates rapidly, as all viruses do, it adopts disguises and thereby evades detection by antibodies…”
“The immune system can only counteract the virus temporarily. It comes back. You could test negative one day and positive the next day…”
“There are actually three strains of the virus. The first two are relatively minor threats. But the third is the real danger…”
Save the virus. Save THE STORY ABOUT THE VIRUS. Keep it going. Don’t let it slip away.
Inside the Church of the Virus, the LAB is the holy of holies. That’s where the deepest ceremonies are conducted. The LAB must be protected. Since no one ever proved the virus actually exists, the LAB has potential problems.
So keep spinning out those stories about SARS-CoV-2 and keep roping in the audience. Make each story sound credible. People out in the world will help. They’ll make up their own variations of the tale. They can’t let go.
If you must, resort to older versions: “God has brought down the virus on us, as punishment for drifting away from His Word…” “In the bowels of Hell, Satan devised the coronavirus and carried it up to Earth, to attack us…”
Then there is this: “SCIENCE says we have to fear the virus and stay on lockdown until the vaccine arrives.” Science is defined as ‘the opposite of anything Trump thinks’.” That’s the result of $300,000 and a Masters degree in something or other, from an elite university.
When you punch a hole in one of these bloated and enhanced virus-stories, someone will probably reply, “But it’s possible. It’s possible that the microwave in your kitchen alerts SARS-CoV-2 that it’s time to attack your liver…” Yes, and in the same way it’s possible your entire blood supply is actually made up of trillions of tiny torpedoes, and it just so happens that the unique timbre of Trump’s voice arms these torpedoes and launches them against your lung tissue. But that doesn’t mean you can take this hypothesis to the bank and cash it. Although it might mean you can land a job at the World Health Organization.
In days of old, a tyrant who ruled his people with an iron fist would consult his high priests when it was time to float a story that would advance his power and control.
“Okay, boys, what have you got for me?”
The highest priest would say, “Well, Your Greatness, there are traitors among us. That story plays well. Then there is, we are under threat from an outside enemy. Always rallies the troops…”
The priests and the rulers would come up with their best effort.
In modern times, the people who need to sell stories hire large agencies to promote their narratives. Or the agencies are on permanent retainers, like the CDC, who hype vaccine myths to the public, on behalf of the federal government and pharmaceutical companies.
“Okay, boys, what have you got?” “How about this? The virus is very complex. We’re still learning about it. It attacks the body in several different ways.” “Can you say it attacks the brain?” “Why not? How about: the virus causes depression. It may be responsible for several types of mental disorders.”
“Sounds good. Give it a whirl. Come up with a few studies. And while we’re at it, we need a new story line: anti-vaxxers are creating widespread fear of vaccination and this could cause ‘good people’ to experience psychological trauma when they actually receive the shot. The trauma could bring on physical collapse. It’s a little tricky, but try to sell it…we’re going to need to explain a slew of very nasty adverse effects when the COVID vaccine hits the market.”
Night and day, every day, stories are sold and bought. The addiction to story is solid and deep. Discernment on the part of the buyer has never been known for its keenness.
Recently, a reader wrote to assure me the SARS-CoV-2 virus is real. Her proof? A small group of doctors she admires know it’s real. Talk about buying story.
Doctors? Are you kidding? 99.99999 percent of doctors in the world are absolutely clueless about how a new virus should be proved to exist.
Trusting doctors on that score is like trusting a parrot who’s been trained to say, “Polly want a virus.”

WATCH/LISTEN TO RECORDED SHOW BELOW INTRO ARTICLE
By: Roger Landry (TLB)
Are Americans being intentionally lead to the slaughter house … ???
This is not the first time I have opened with this question … but then I have said much of this, countless times before. The difference is that … now many more people are actually listening. Many of my/our (TLB) remarks, articles, or podcast shows over the past decade have been ridiculed, ignored, or outright banned as being conspiracy theories with no absolute proof. These topics include (but are not limited to) some pretty well known issues such as:
The Shadow Government exists and is treasonous …
9/11 was an inside job …
The Federal Reserve is Unconstitutional …
The UNITED STATES is a corporation …
Vaccines are responsible for Autism …
Big Business owns our Leaders …
Fluoride is killing America …
Geoengineering is killing humanity …
COVID-19 is a Plandemic …
80% of the global population will be eliminated by 2025 …
etc…, etc…, etc…
But the more suffering becomes a daily mainstay … the more hopelessness becomes a reality … the more tyranny and treason against We The People becomes blatantly obvious … The more attention platforms like The Liberty Beacon Project receives. And it is not just recent media, people are rummaging through the archives for info from over a decade or two ago … connecting the dots.
As I have also stated numerous times … I never thought I would live to see the day (although I suspected it was inevitable) when massive suffering and ruination of this entire nation was the intended goal of a self-professed elite cast (including the likes of Soros). These ‘global tyrants’ believe Trump, a duly elected President, must be removed or his re-election thwarted … at all cost … regardless of your or my wishes … We no-longer count … FACT!
Another appropriate comment from a recent article of mine:
“Also consider another obvious fact … They realize they have no chance at the ballot box with Dementia Joe (despite massive and continuous MSM poll lies), so they have decided to literally destroy America and all our lives to ensure a victory for themselves. REALLY ??? This is NOT a freaking joke, it is absolute reality happening right before your eyes, something that anyone doing even basic level research can determine for themselves.
I seems that it makes little difference whether that cost be the destruction of a society, an economy, or an entire nation. We are living in a time where treason and sedition against We The People is ignored or secretly enhanced by those we elect to protect and lead us … so do these words still carry their original meaning … and are these evil progressives untouchable as they continue to ruin millions of lives, this nation, and the global community!”
AND DON’T TELL ME HOW THE REPUBLICANS WILL SAVE US ALL !!!
Please listen up as Steve and I examine reality in a fashion you will NEVER hear on the MSM! Get a cold refreshing beverage, then Fasten your Seat-belt … this is one hell of a ride !!!
