Appreciate it Karl! The "Settled science" sums it up quite well. Yes, that was a great movie!
May have already been mentioned/known from other threads, but think it's important given who/what we're up against...
Google has a division known as Jigsaw, which describes itself as looking for 'high impact interventions' to make the internet and society stronger and safer for everyone. Jigsaw recently teamed up with RAND Corporation, the psychological war propaganda experts as one of the leading defense think tanks in the world, to "better detect the spread of conspiracy theories at scale." RAND wrote a bureaucratic policy paper with recommendations on how to tackle the so-called problem.
Google’s Jigsaw unit asked our RAND research team to help answer a difficult question: How can we better detect the spread of conspiracy theories at scale?
...
Because the spread of conspiracy theories is a sociocultural problem, they wanted more than a black box and asked whether we could advance machine-learning (ML) applications to provide additional insight: How do online conspiracies function linguistically and rhetorically?
One of the conspiracy groups RAND studied for this were those who believe in alien visitation. All for your safety of course.
They spent alot of time in this 108 page paper going over how proud they were of the policy system they developed and how it works in identifying conspiracy theories at scale using algorithmic detection.
They identified and studied 4 conspiracy groups by linguistic analysis and developed recommendations for them. These were the groups in order of most harmful to least:
1. Anti-vaxxers
2. Covid-origin dissenters
3. White Genocide (WG) groups
4. UFO believers
Interestingly, they did not target 9/11 groups considering there's some 20 years worth of conspiracy data to mine, but instead focused on four that have been plastered all over msm & social media.
Note 1: the study was done last year when you could not talk about Covid origins.
Note 2: they used the word "harm" in the context of harmful to the public, 51 times.
#3 sounds like don't believe in what your eyes see & ears hear, don't think..just listen to what we tell you. Trust the science.
Conspiracy theories are an important part of what the RAND Corporation refers to as Truth Decay a shift in public discourse away from facts and analysis caused by four interrelated drivers:
1. an increasing disagreement about facts and analytical interpretations of facts and data
2. a blurring of the line between opinion and fact
3. an increasing relative volume, and resulting influence, of opinion and personal experience over fact.
4. a declining trust in formerly respected sources of factual information.
Conspiracy theories reflect both a move away from factual truth and declining trust in factual sources, replacing trustworthy information with untrustworthy information.

RAND Report: Detecting Conspiracy Theories on Social Media
Like to know how Goog/Jigsaw plans to do "transparent and sensitive manner" engagement. Covert emotion based infiltration algo influencers? "Hello, I'm from Google's Jigsaw division and wish to inform that you are engaging in a conspiracy theory that is not backed up by factual authoritative sources...here let me help you out and guide you to our facts on the matter...have a nice day." Ha, yea right. I'm sure Goog will take the RAND recommendations and tweak & militarize the hell out it to keep us safe, transparently of course. Don't be evil.🤡

Don't know how I missed this, but very excellent, and important, research & presentation, mate.

We're really in for it ain't we? Probably time for a new thread, y'all? What scares me is how a large part of the population is eating the narrative up.
Have you surveyed the state-of-affairs on Twitter & YouTube as regards the current UAP promotional psy-op? I see a lot of gullible mis-led folk and very few voices that understand it's an operation. It's gaining steam.

If I were a king for the day, what would this new environment look like? In this new environment, topics such as Xenoscience, Exopolitics, Astrobiology, and Exotheology would not be ostracized as fringe science. As the phenomena are still not yet fully understood and are truly unknown, we must keep ourselves open to a variety of possibilities by allowing ourselves to pragmatically frame up the ‘what if’s’ into some form of academic or scientific nomenclature.
...
So do I still want to kill UFOlogy? You betcha! But it's only because I have hope and faith that we can all create something much, much better.
The topic of UFOs may very well be the greatest mystery our species has ever faced. Let’s each take a good, long look in the mirror. Self-reflection is sometimes scary but is necessary for growth. Hopefully, the person standing in front of you in the mirror will listen to you. The good news is that we all have a chance to do this the right way and it is never too late to reevaluate our approach and change course. Why not give the topic the respect it deserves and allow the phoenix to shake off the old ashes and spread her wings? Why not allow this beautiful bird to rise up with the dignity she deserves and to fly to her new perch where she rightfully belongs?
…The only thing preventing that is you and me.

The Washington Post came out with a story blithely admitting that the largest army of internet psyops soldiers in the world is in fact being fielded by the US.

And now, from an undisclosed location deep beneath the Earth's surface, it's the 6th Annual Fake News Awards! Shining the spotlight of ridicule on the dumbest disinformation, the silliest smears and the most ludicrous lies of the mainstream media dinosaurs of the past year!
U.S. SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND, responsible for some of the country’s most secretive military endeavors, is gearing up to conduct internet propaganda and deception campaigns online using deepfake videos, according to federal contracting documents reviewed by The Intercept.
..The added paragraph spells out SOCOM’s desire to obtain new and improved means of carrying out “influence operations, digital deception, communication disruption, and disinformation campaigns at the tactical edge and operational levels.” SOCOM is seeking “a next generation capability to collect disparate data through public and open source information streams such as social media, local media, etc. to enable MISO to craft and direct influence operations.”

I designed deep fake platform/systems 13 years ago. And far worse reality destroying machines were developed by AAA socal game devs in same time frame.
Reality is inconceivably worse than most people think.

Below is a classic piece of propaganda that I actually remember being aired on the news - some truly disturbing content.. but turns out it was all fabricated by 'public relations' firm Hill and Knowltown:
Nurse Nayirah" in the media, was a fifteen-year-old Kuwaiti girl, who alleged that she had witnessed the murder of infant children by Iraqi soldiers in Kuwait, in verbal testimony to the U.S. Congress, in the run up to the 1991 Gulf War.
Reality:
In 1991, the world was introduced to the emotional story of Nayirah, a Kuwaiti girl who testified about the atrocities committed by Iraqi forces in Kuwait.
What the world was never told was that the incident had in fact been the work of a
public relations firm, Hill and Knowltown, and the girl had actually been the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador.
