The United Nations has declared war on conspiracy theories, describing the rise of conspiracy thinking as “worrying and dangerous” and providing the public with a toolkit to “prebunk” and “debunk” anybody who dares to suggest that world governments are anything but completely honest, upstanding and transparent.
The UN also warns that George Soros, the Rothschilds, and the State of Israel must not be linked to any “alleged conspiracies.”

UNESCO has teamed up with Twitter, the European Commission, and the World Jewish Congress to launch the campaign dubbed #ThinkBeforeSharing: Stop the spread of conspiracy theories.
The UN claims that events are not “secretly manipulated behind the scenes by powerful forces with negative intent.” If you encounter anybody who thinks the global elite conspires to consolidate power and dictate international events, you must take action.
According to UNESCO, “if you are certain you have encountered a conspiracy theory” on the internet, you must post a relevant link to a “fact-checking website” in the comments.
UNESCO also advises anyone who encounters a real live conspiracy theorist in the flesh. According to the UN agency, you must not be lured into an argument with a conspiracy theorist.
“Any argument may be taken as proof that you are part of the conspiracy and reinforce that belief,” and the conspiracy theorist will probably “argue hard to defend their beliefs. ”
Remarkably, hidden in the fine print, UNESCO admits that conspiracy theories do exist. Under the heading “What is a real conspiracy?” the United Nations bureaucrats explain that “real conspiracies large and small do exist.”
According to the UN, it’s only a real conspiracy theory if it’s “unearthed by the media or whistle-blowers.”
There is just one problem with the UN’s definition of a “real” conspiracy theory. The media has often been fully bought and paid for by the elite. And it’s the elite who are conspiring against the masses.
Have you ever heard of Operation Mockingbird? In the 1960s, you would get called a conspiracy theorist if you dared to suggest that the CIA was spying on journalists and controlling the mainstream media.
In reality, this is exactly what was happening. Operation Mockingbird was a CIA operation that spied on members of the Washington press corps in 1963, 1972, and 1973. They also paid journalists to publish CIA propaganda.
Wiretapping of US citizens is against the CIA code, but this is what they did.
So sure, we should trust everything the media and fact-checkers say. It’s not like they have a history of being manipulated by shadowy three-letter agencies and the global elite.
In 2013, Obama signed legislation that repealed the US Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, also known as the Smith-Mundt Act.
The Smith-Mundt Act was a so-called anti-propaganda law that prevented the US government’s mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences.
But on July 2, 2013, Obama quietly and deceitfully changed the law, meaning that the US government and the CIA could legally propagandize US citizens.
Strangely, the mainstream media don’t like to acknowledge this fact. But it suits government agencies and the United Nations down to the ground. Of course, they will tell you to place blind trust in the mainstream media and fact-checkers. Regardless of how many times they get proved wrong, time and time again.
Hunter Biden’s Laptop from Hell, anyone? It took the media more than a year to admit it was real. For a whole year, the media was telling us that the laptop story was “Russian disinformation,” and fact checkers were censoring social media, scrubbing it clean of any trace of the Laptop From Hell story, for fear that it would damage Biden Sr.’s presidential run.
Unfortunately, the mainstream media is not a check on power. Governments, corporations, and global institutions like the United Nations… know how to play the media game. They know how to control the news cycle. They know how to manipulate and control the masses.
They feed official scoops, official accounts, and interviews with so-called experts. They breed fear because fear breeds compliance.
You will be pushed to the margins if you want to challenge power. The CIA invented the term “conspiracy theorist” in the 1950s to denigrate those who dared to ask unconventional questions and challenge the system.
The United Nations’ war on conspiracy theorists is another example. They want to shame those of us who dare to ask questions and challenge the official narrative.
Just 20 years ago, questioning official information was the holy grail of any self-respecting [investigative] journalist. It was clear to everyone at the time that those in power were lying, cheating, and doing all harm they could to stay in power. Something that people today seem to have largely forgotten.
