This is a good place to remind people there are powerful sources that pretend their goal and purpose is to protect you, when they are simply censoring and only allowing and supporting what fits their agenda for how they will inform/program the public and mold all of society into what they think is best – or best for them. I posted this note early 2020, but by now it should be evident to everyone.
All sources bent on doing this have the same general agenda which comes down to “we know what is best for everyone - globally” and you/individuals in the public do not have enough sense or intelligence to discern what is good for you, your spouse, children, grandchildren, your choices for health, business, or really any other aspect of life.
All of this has been going on by the smallest percentage of the global population throughout history. But, we (USA) have a national Constitution written and voted on by a brave group (against the powers reigning at the time) and had the amazing foresight to help protect the freedoms and rights of the people, all people, in the United States – only if they know their rights and stand up for them according to Constitutional rights – of individual states and the entire country. Obviously we have lost many of those rights already and may soon lose all of them, IF we do not know our rights and collectively stand up for them against any source trying to take them away.
I was going to simply state briefly – to at least double and triple check any resources for verifying facts (critical thinking), but it led to what the agenda is behind the most known resources that are fact checking for us. The point is to not allow any source to tell you the facts – check them out for yourself. Check the fact checkers!
Simple examples are: Quack Watch: a resource for an FDA advocate that does not look to investigate anything whatsoever, like they say is their protocol. But only to list everything that is not FDA approved. This is done by a Psychiatrist that has been a spokesperson for the FDA and has not performed any studies or had any conversations with those listed as quackery.
Now I must say that there is probably a ton of actual quackery listed, but it is grouped with everything not FDA approved, like every natural resource such as supplement manufacturers, homeopathy, chiropractic, herbals, dietary, and basically anything that is not approved as a synthetic toxic, side effect causing drug. Plus any person in practice to help people in non-standardized medical ways – effective or not. This includes licensed medical doctors practicing integrative medicine and helping people recover safely at times when standardized medicine offers no hope.
Oh yes, to be completely transparent I’ve been listed on Quack Watch for a few decades. I feel honored to be listed among some of the greatest people to help mankind in this country. And no I never protested it, because I learned long ago that it is foolish to argue with a fool.
What about “Fact Checkers” and many other sources. Some even start out with the right agenda, but get corrupted with power or influence, or simply don’t get it right all the time. Sometimes it is their own beliefs that are decision/judgment vs the facts. It is too easy to twist or slightly “spin” something to make it sound totally different. So the point is not to discount everything, but to truly check it out for yourself and the sources, plus the opposite side as well – check all the facts with critical thinking to hopefully make wise informed choices .
