My father once told me that the most important things happen at home. Maybe that's where the axiom "All politics are local" came from. While it may be somewhat presumptuous to attribute the promulgation of the phase to my father or that politics are important, there is a good deal of truth in the statement. His world was more straightforward, and most information was local, with few channels providing input from other parts of the world. Though certainly more timely than Pony Express, newspapers, and radio still provide thinking time before tomorrow's news. Today’s narrative is almost too accessible. This morning, I climbed out of bed, read and studied, and looked at the news. Not just any news but news from every corner of the globe. My device noticed what interests me and began sending me items that its algorithm decided I would like to see. Many of these voices are from ideologies, political identities, and manipulative prodigies with something other than my interests at heart.
It seems that the current narrative is often driven by individuals and groups who seek to manipulate public opinion for their gain. They use sophisticated techniques to create a sense of urgency, fear, or anger that can motivate people to act in ways that may not be in their best interests. This can lead to a polarized and divisive political environment where compromise and cooperation become increasingly difficult. Social media has been playing a significant role in spreading misinformation. With the rise of user-generated content, it has become increasingly challenging to distinguish between reliable sources and fake news. Many people tend to believe what they read on social media without verifying the accuracy of the information. This has led to the spread of false information and conspiracy theories, which can have harmful consequences.
It's important to verify information because false information can have serious consequences. It can mislead people and cause them to make decisions that may harm themselves or others. Verifying information helps to ensure that you have accurate and reliable information, which can help you to make informed decisions and take appropriate action. Everyone should learn to strengthen this skill.
Here are some basics of verifying information:
Check the source: Verify the source of the information and evaluate its reliability. Check whether the source is credible and unbiased.
Cross-check the information: Cross-check the information with other sources to ensure that it is accurate. Look for multiple sources that confirm the information.
Look for evidence: Look for evidence that supports the information. Evidence can be in the form of statistics, documents, or eyewitness accounts.
Check the date: Verify the date of the information to ensure that it is current. Sometimes old information can be presented as new, which can be misleading.
Consider the context: Consider the context in which the information was presented. Information can be presented in a way that distorts the truth, so it's essential to understand the context.
It is easy to fall into the misinformation trap. Making informed decisions based on accurate information enables you to know what you are talking about.

Most all the sources we previously thought were reliable, just as mainstream news, major medical journals, major government institutions such as the CDC, NIH, HHS, and others; were mostly all exposed as, not just "misinformation", but "disinformation". Major medical journals refused or retracted perfect articles from Dr. Peter McCullough, the most published doctor on the heart and kidneys in the entire history of the National Library of Medicine- with over 700 peer-reviewed articles, 70 articles on Covid, and hundreds of citations. The Journals instead, put out propaganda - whether it was for corruption and greed with Big Pharma financially owning many of the journals now due to advertising money, or whether it was for something more nefarious makes no differenc…
