Reminds me of the fact that Crichton mentions Palestine as a key example in his description of this:
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
– Michael Crichton (1942-2008)
It's a very true thing. I don't think enough people have experienced it but what first opened my eyes to it was I went to a concert and a friend of a friend of mine died later that night. It was from drugs. The story made the news and I already knew exactly what happened straight from her roommate (who found her dead) and friends that were around her all night. The media lied about everything. The thing was, the police wanted to push their own political agenda and used the incident to push propaganda. Absolutely nothing about the story was accurate. The only thing they got right was that she died. They didn't even get the drug she died from right. The whole story was total propaganda and I remember hearing people in the community talk about it. Everyone's idea of the story was what the media said. I remember correcting people based on my insider information straight from the source and most people did not believe me. They believed the media. It really opened my eyes then to how wrong the media is. It's all fucking lies.
In 2020, I stayed up late watching live riot footage streamed directly from Minneapolis. Tried talking to people about it the next day and all the normies said the protests were “mostly peaceful” and the riots were totally overblown - CNN’s exact narrative. I said, “No, I watched violent protestors storm a police station and force an evacuation. I watched buildings literally burn.” This was met with blank stares, subject changes, etc.
The average person is essentially brainwashed.
Chrichton was right about everything - especially global warming
It is amazing how many modern prophets there have been that'd nobody listened to. What is that verse in the Bible about how near the end people will worship falsehood as truth?
Remember lying to Goyim is a sport for the Juden
hello, kike.
Found the retard.
Here's some helpful advice, not everyone disagreeing with you is a jew. But you'll never learn, because "muh jews" is all you backwards retards know.
It's the inbreeding, coincidentally something that both Nazis and Islamists share.
Hello, kike #2.
I'm not a jew either, you fuckwit. I wish you'd all fuck off to the middle east with your hamas friends and leave us alone.
Your argument is retarded.
If an inbred zealot builds a rocket out of substandard materials and it misfires, and then he does it again, the same act having the same outcome isn't evidence that it's being made up.
Jeremy Corbyn and his commie fucks don't say things like this because they're true, they say it because he's a traitor who never met an enemy of Britain he didn't like.
On top of all that, we had the same thing happen in Ukraine recently. Are you going to pretend that those Polish farmers weren't killed by a Ukrainian S-300 too, or do you have to be an Islamic terrorist to get the benefit of the doubt?
It isn't an argument. It's an observation.
I don't trust anything coming from either side. That doesn't mean I view them as exactly the same btw
There's no point trying to explain this shit to them. They can't get over "jews bad", no matter how wrong they are. They'll fall for hamas propaganda, just like the leftist retards they claim to hate.
Frankly, as far as I'm concerned, we can airdrop them all in Gaza and let them fight Israel (or get killed by hamas). I don't care either way. Same with their leftist trash cousins.
Muh right wing sjws lol
You’re a meme.
You're in a thread about how we're supposed to believe the Socialist Workers Party as they defend the honour of Islamic terrorists.
And you're all still retarded faggots.
Stop swallowing hamas propaganda.
perfectly follows the leftist news cope cycle as well
I’m going to disbelieve both sides until I see evidence to the contrary.
Smart.
Hamas shoots tons of faulty missiles. That's nothing new and has been reported by many, not only Israel.
If this one was one, look at the images published by Palestinians on social media and make up your own opinion. Cause both sides - Hamas and Israel - have something to gain by lying, so they're both not credible.
Yeah but most of their missiles are pop-rockets. Not the kind of thing that can level a hospital.
The parking lot got lit on fire. There's 0 evidence a hospital was destroyed.
The mainstream media can’t be trusted to report on current events in my own hometown. Why should I trust what they report about what’s happening on the other side of the world?
What an odd thing to say
Post Reported for:
Since this issue has come up multiple times in the forum, and because these may be active efforts at disinformation campaigns, I will need to make sure there is some clarification. Israel currently is NOT admitting that they bombed this hospital, and is explicitly stating that Hamas had a failed rocket detonation towards the parking area. It is not clear how many are actually dead. It is not clear what the ballistic weapon was, or who owns it.
Do not repost explicit disinformation, as it is a weapon against you.
This is not an identity attack.
Israeli government spokesman enters the chat… https://files.catbox.moe/gcq4t2.jpeg
That awkward moment when you don’t seem to see the irony of your own statement :(
Sir, if it weren’t for your capacity for consciously projecting, I would think you were the NPC. Instead you appear to be a shill shitting up an otherwise decent board.
I showed you an actual tweet that a representative of the actual Israeli government posted which he later deleted. This is being reported on in multiple places, none of which are the ones who openly lied about beheaded babies (which I’m sure you think is true). I didn’t make this shit up, that dude is in serious damage control mode rn but ofc you don’t know anything about that bc you get all your info from corporate media. You are either a low-information normie or someone with an agenda coming here to slide the thread.
People do occasionally get killed when you shoot homemade missiles over their homes and businesses.
