If Davos elites have their way, we’re headed for the digital ghetto
A digital wall is being built for voices that disagree reasonably and read things differently than what various governments at home and abroad want you to read.
This week, the globalist elites have their annual Davos gathering, and this year, the most important thing up for discussion — even above climate change — is “mis-” and “disinformation.”
The president of the European Union, Ursula von der Leyen, just spoke at Davos and said, “Our freedom comes with risks. Freedom comes with risks.” Because of this, she claimed, “Our top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate. It is disinformation and misinformation.”
The Global Risk Report published by the World Economic Forum says addressing misinformation and disinformation takes priority even over extreme weather events, war, terrorist attacks, and inflation.
Remember how global warming is supposed to be an existential threat? What about terror attacks like what happened in Israel in October? What about war, inflation, and policies that can collapse your dollar? All of those things are now secondary to misinformation and disinformation.
“The boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner,” von der Leyen said, and our battle against “disinformation” and “misinformation” is “even more important in this new era of generative AI.”
The World Economic Forum's “Global Risk Report” names artificial intelligence as one of the top potential risks of the next decade. It also called for a global regulatory body to oversee artificial intelligence — in other words, to take control of AI and digital ID systems akin to vaccine passports.
We are in a time for choosing. Which god will you serve? The ones building their Tower of Babel at Davos? Or the one true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
But for the next two years, it's you. You are the risk.
So what does all that mean?
I believe that we are now measuring things in my world by days and months — not by years.
We are now looking at people labeling me, Blaze Media, or anybody you trust as “misinformation” and “disinformation.” It is happening in real time.
We told you a couple of weeks ago on the radio that our spy agencies and our Pentagon are in league with the Five Eyes, that they are doing “misinformation disinformation editing” and cognitive training. That means they are training the way you think by controlling what you see.
The same global elites gathering at Davos want to do the exact same thing. That’s why they want control over AI and why you can’t be trusted with it.
The Independent reported this week:
Climate misinformation is rapidly mutating across social media, allowing nefarious actors to skirt restrictions and continue to profit, according to a new report. With climate-driven disasters now impossible to ignore, outright denials of climate change no longer hold up with most people.
That isn’t true. The people who believe in climate change and who are certain we’re in the midst of some sort of disaster have less credibility than ever before.
The Independent continues:
In the murky online realm of climate misinformation, a shift in tactics is in motion. Researchers analysed thousands of hours of YouTube content from the past six years and found that “old” climate crisis denial — which claims that global heating is not happening and burning fossil fuels is not the cause — is giving way to a new type of misleading content intended to muddy the waters.
Please note that the Independent story cited only one source for all of its bold claims: a report by the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate, which is essentially the new replacement for Media Matters.
According to the Independent, the report found:
"New [Climate] Denial" falls into a few broad groups: that the impacts of global heating are beneficial or harmless; that climate solutions won’t work; and that climate science and the climate movement can’t be trusted.
Guess who fell into these new categories of “climate disinformation?” Yours truly.
BlazeTV, founded by conservative firebrand Glenn Beck, regularly features climate change denial. … In a video published in July 2022 and watched 71,000 times, Mr. Beck claims that the Biden administration is using the climate crisis as cover for government control and a “great reset” — an online conspiracy theory that claims that a global elite is trying to dismantle capitalism and create a new social order.
Imran Ahmed, the Center for Countering Digital Hate’s chief executive, says that “climate advocates and policymakers,” like myself and Blaze Media, apparently, “must recognize this shift or risk losing the information battle necessary to deliver climate solutions.”
How exactly do they propose winning this “information battle” against “climate deniers” like myself and Blaze Media?
By defunding us and deplatforming us, of course.
Ahmed can’t stand that content creators who disagree with him profit from YouTube’s ad revenue, so he is “call[ing] on YouTube and other social media platforms to update policies to keep up with new forms of climate crisis denial along with removing financial incentives, and reducing its reach and visibility.”
To repeat: they are calling on YouTube and other social media platforms to “remove financial incentives” and reduce the “reach and visibility” of people like me and Blaze Media because they can’t stand the idea of you hearing something that goes against their narrative. They don’t trust you to make your own opinions.
They know climate change is not going to kill millions around the world. This is about gaining power and control over you. They want to defund us and deplatform us.
“People have the right to post this content,” Ahmed concluded. “But do you have to reward them with money? And give them a megaphone?”
They are creating a digital ghetto. It's what the Germans did to the Jews. “Look, you have a right to be out and have your place, and you can have your say. Just behind this wall.” They were called ghettos. And after the Jews couldn’t be seen behind the ghetto’s walls, they could easily be liquidated.
Now, I hope no one is thinking about liquidation. There is, however, a digital wall being built for voices that disagree reasonably and read things differently than what various governments at home and abroad want you to read.
No wonder elites like Ursula von der Leyen are so concerned about AI along with “mis-” and “disinformation.” What a powerful tool to control “mis-” and “disinformation” espoused by the “deplorables” like you and me. The elites want to control information because, ultimately, they want to control you.
That was one of their objectives at Davos this week. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told the WEF audience, “There’s nothing that cannot be controlled by humankind.” In effect, he is saying, “We are gods. We decide your future, what you will say and think, and you must obey.”
We are in a time for choosing. Which god will you serve? The ones building their Tower of Babel at Davos? Or the one true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Let me tell you: They do not serve Him.
