I'm getting alarmed by ideas that Social Media should distinguish who is an expert on controversial topics. Do recall how the Tobacco Institute saw our expert communities: as containing coin-operated friends willing to produce on-demand tailor-made doubt. http://www.pmdocs.com/core/downloadSearchBlob?IDX=6&FROM=SEARCH&CVSID=c3f742d1bf6e63913ff81ca3ce17748e

It was authored by Fred Panzer, VP of the Tobacco Institute in 1972. It may also be found here: https://industrydocumentslibrary.ucsf.edu/tobacco/docs/#id=rtyh0129
Hereâs a thought many college educated folks can never have:
Large long running deadly institutional conspiracies are commonplace. Could be tobacco, war, pharma, food, law & order, immigration, regime change, etc.
Whatâs exotic is their being reported: https://washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/investigations/afghanistan-papers/afghanistan-war-confidential-documents/
Everyone credentialed outside of narrative control must be brought under narrative control. This is the #GIN as defended by the #DISC. Right on time.
If it works on you, you should be feeling FUD right now: Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt about Dr Malone forced to âcomplainâ aloud.
Yes, I have been locked out of Linked In and my account has been shut down. #censorship in the time of COVID. I have had to submit copies of my driver's license and Linked In will now make a determination about reactivating my account.
Notice your feelings. Maybe he has a problem?
Notice random hater accounts: âStop whining: A private company can do whatever it wants!â from fellow âcitizensâ like @mydogsbutt4381.
As long as you feel FUD, the train keeps a rollinâ. Itâs not targeted on your pre-frontal cortex.
My recommendation? Learn from the Tobacco industry. They were forced to put their archive on line.
Learn from COINTELPRO who was subjected to the Pike and Church committee hearings.
Narrative control and personal reputational destruction isnât something exotic. Itâs a playbook.
What can you do? Talk back to the FUD cloud. Laugh at the dedicated haters. Many of them arenât people but farms of bots after all, searching for the amygdala of the weak who fear standing next to a target.
And in the end: you get to fight actual evil! Which is kinda awesome. đ
