Factcheck.org -- A Fraudulent "Fact Check" Site Funded By Biased Political Group

If you wanted to use a devious method to deceive people who are trying to differentiate between truth and lies on the Internet how would you do it? If you were extremely devious and had no conscience, you might set up a Web site with some official and unbiased sounding name that claims to be the encyclopedia of truth to be used as a tool for anyone who has the same biased view and wants to make believe to "back it up" with what they would like you to think is "indisputable fact."

That is exactly what Web sites like factcheck.org are. They are biased, politically motivated propaganda Web sites, manned and funded by biased political organizations who set up the sites for the sole purpose of deviously "backing up" the political arguments of those who hold the same views that they do. It's kind of like you have a friend who is in on your lie, and you use him to back up your story and don't tell anyone else he is your friend.

Just because they use a name that implies unbiased assessments, doesn't mean that they provide them. You can call your Web site anything you want. I can set up a web site called thetruth.org or realfacts.com or stopthelies.org and post any kind of biased political propaganda I want on it. The name means nothing. And in the case of sites like factcheck.org, the name is intentionally misleading and deceptive. But it isn't the only so called "fact check" site that is a fraud. There are others.

Think about it. Would you rely on any particular Web site to get the "truth?" Anyone honest would tell you that you should NOT rely solely on them to get your facts. You should get them by considering many different and sources, with different points of view and opinions and arrive at what you believe to be the truth by using your own God given senses. Only con artists purport to be the de facto source of truth.

If you look behind the scenes at these phony "fact check" sites, you find that they are funded by organizations with political biases. You must always ask yourself. Who is writing about this so-called "truth." Who funds the site and pays their expenses. What are the origins and history of the funders and who are they associated with. In the case of factcheck.org they receive their funding from the liberal Annenberg Foundation.

The Annenberg Foundation was originally founded by Walter J. Annenberg, a conservative who supported Ronald Reagan. However, when Walter Annenberg died, his family took over the management of the foundation and it took a turn to the far left and has ties to radical left individuals such as Bill Ayers and his friend and fellow left wing radical collegue Barack Obama. How is factcheck.org associated with these people:
....
Ayers co-chaired the organization’s Collaborative, which set the education policies of the Challenge. Oddly enough, Obama was the one who was authorized to delegate to the Collaborative in regards to its programs and projects. In addition to that, Obama often times had to seek advice and assistance from the Ayer’s led Collaborative in regards to the programmatic aspects of grant proposals. Ayers even sat on the same board as Obama as an “ex officio member”. They both also sat together on the board of the CAC’s Governance Committee. Obama and Ayers were two parts of a group of four who were instructed to draft the bylaws that would govern the CAC. Keep in mind that the “A” in CAC is for Annenberg, the owners of FactCheck.org. The funding for Ayer’s projects and those of his cronies was approved by Board Chair, Barack Obama.

So there are 340 new Covid cases in Ontario, No shock at all, and there is over 14 million people who live in Ontario, So another perfect excuse for Doug Ford to keep us all on lockdown, Remember how he reacted on the first case. Almost now two years later we are still hostage in our own homes. So much for fifteen days of lockdown, What a prick.

The bipartisan infrastructure bill includes a provision that would require auto manufacturers to equip "advanced alcohol monitoring systems" in all new cars.

Buried in the massive proposal—which is already longer than 2,700 pages—is a section titled, "ADVANCED IMPAIRED DRIVING TECHNOLOGY," which mandates new vehicles include "a system that … passively and accurately detect whether the blood alcohol concentration of a driver of a motor vehicle is equal to or greater than the blood alcohol concentration" of .08, in which case the system would "prevent or limit motor vehicle operation." Automobile manufacturers would have a three-year grace period to comply with the regulation.

The provision gives ammunition to Republican critics who say the scope of the bill expands far beyond bridges and tunnels. Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) said he would oppose the bill over its subsidies for green energy, while Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah) questioned whether the federal government could efficiently allocate more than $1 trillion in spending. Meanwhile, a number of House Democrats say they oppose the deal for not doing enough. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) attacked her partymates in the Senate for compromising with Republicans.

"It certainly looks like this opens the door for mandatory breathalyzers in every new car. It's crazy," said one senior Republican aide, who requested anonymity to speak candidly due to ongoing negotiations in the Senate.

Although the exact type of alcohol monitor the bill would require is unclear, passive alcohol sensors are described in a report by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). The group recommends "driver monitoring systems, touch-based systems that can read your blood alcohol concentration through your fingertips and air-sampling systems that can test and isolate just the air exhaled by the driver." MADD president Alex Otte praised Senate negotiators for using the infrastructure bill as a vehicle to pass the group's "most significant" legislative push in recent years.

"We cannot wait any longer to establish a standard for impaired driving prevention technology that can be deployed on all new vehicles," Otte said in a statement. "This legislation will mark the beginning of the end of drunk driving."

Today is the 1st day of August , the month of our "Freedom"...
And talking about our "Freedom" , it always reminds me the biggest IRONY of the history of our Indian Freedom Movement ...

It has been always glorified by saying that , our Freedom was gained by mostly Non-Violence movements...
And all those "Non-Violence" movements lead us to one of the world's biggest Bloody History of Violence as Communal Riots and Genocide...

Followed by disasters like Famine and never ending Migrants problem...

Because of that policy of "Non-Violence" of some of our power hungry political leaders , we are still suffering border issues for ages...

Yes... As per profit , Those political leaders got their Crowns after our "Freedom"...
But
At what cost ???
Never ending sacrifice of so many innocent citizens !!!

Alas !!! It's the IRONY after all...

this week. Again. But I don't see Biden bouncing troops out of Afghanistan just to send them back to Haiti.
More likely the Cartels were behind the assassination of the Haitiian President. Kind of reminds me of when the Crown Prince of Nepal (a known Heroin user) sent the Palace guards away and then let the drug dealer thugs from The Golden Triangle into the Royal Palace and the entire Royal family was murdered at dinner before they executed that Prince too and walked away. About 4 years of Civil War followed while America was focused on what to do about 9/11. It was a shame really they had a good King. Just like in Haiti this week the surviving Prime Minister back then declared himself to be the new Ruler of his country. Of course some folk objected and that caused the Civil War which raged in Nepal until both India and China got tired of it (with civilians in both countries border towns killed in various exchanges of high explosives) and sent in troops to crush everyone jointly. Today Nepal is ruled by a council, mostly Chinese dominated of course. But Haiti? The Dominican Republic has taken the lets wait and see posture and simply closed their border and brought up more soldiers to their gates. Will President Biden send in the US military to peace keep once again? I doubt it.
One of the interesting aspects of the Presidential assassination (his wife was shot too and she remains in Critical Intensive care the last I heard) in his home by a squadron of heavily armed attackers, is how the media and the Haitian authorities have not said even one word about what role the Presidential bodyguard and military personnel assigned to protect their President played during the attack? Were they even there? Photos released shortly after the news broke showed the residence gates not damaged in the least. Had they been opened for the attackers? There are no pictures suggesting pitched gun battles. Bo bullet pocked front door. No evidence of grenades being tossed. But we are told the attackers were 'heavily armed.' So did the body guards just run away? Where was the gun battle we would evpect? Where is the mention of scores of dead body guards and soldiers? Nothing at all is said about them. Did not one body guard radio )or cell phone) the police and the military for reinforcements as the attack was underway? Again, were the bodyguards and other security personnel even there or had they just been sent home for the night?
Haiti now belongs to the Cartels.

VOLTAIRE: CHAMPION OF FREE SPEECH !!!

We always hear from within our native nation by our news media or politicians that ''that nation is the enemy''. But is it truly the enemy or is it just a statement of foul politics to make us turn on one another.
The modern nation state system is nothing more than a tribal system on an international level . As in a tribal system no matter the internal conflict when an external threat of another tribe arrives we unite against it , even if that threat is artificial .
The politicians know this fact of tribalism and human instinct of territorialism and manipulate the civilians by using patriotism as a tool , even transforming it into jingoism . As a result we see unwanted conflict and race of supremacy between countries over one another . The feuds that of America , Russia , China and Korea , even the conflict in the middle east like that of India and Pakistan .
Now we at the civilian level and by civilian not implying the privileged class but implying the regular middle class . We have contacts and friendships with people from our native country along with internationally , even within the nations our governments declare as enemies . While in reality we know nobody is the enemy .
This is why some people want a borderless world . Now this is a debate that has also been going on for sometime , what would it be like with a world without borders . Borders represent a separate identity with each border hosting its unique culture which gives the beauty of diversity .
These same borders are being used by politicians for jingoistic turmoil and conflict and soldiers of diffrent nations blindly following orders and senselessly killing one another .
This conflict won't stop anytime soon because behind this conflict is huge profit that the bussinesmen just can't lose . The war economy , one of the most profitable economies , even a single f-22 costs almost the price of two big budget hollywood films about 312 million dollars .
Yup the cash in this business would make any business man not want wars to end . Because if peace and i mean true peace ever comes , the most loss would be of the wepons manufacturers and the nuclear powered nations with their weapons no longer in use and no longer in demand .
A weapons free world would mean big trouble for weapon manufacturers . So these conflicts in which patriotism or even religion is being used its just a ruse to fill pockets . The terrorist organizations , national military and mercenary soldiers all pawns in the continuity of conflicts to fill pockets of weapons manufacturers .
Profitability in conflict has been on for centuries keeping the civilians in the dark about the truth . From monarchs of kingdoms to presidents of nations .Also the fact of a power struggle with the example of jingoism every politician of a nation is trying to be where America is now , being the world super power even if it means side lining the civilians and inducing conflicting ideologies .
By an equal perspective this struggle for suppremacy and profitability off of conflict is the real threat and also the human element of tribalism is what is keeping us from a unified peaceful world . A concept of borderless world is a one with many debates . But our bordered world represents such diversity , unfortunately used for conflict but there can be a unity in diversity .
In every history book or at least in most the decision makers are always the powerful or the politicians , what is the decision of us people . That is the main question to be asked if we're gonna solve anything and by decision not made by keeping in mind some manipulated news flash or history or politics but a decision made by keeping in mind a united future to rid conflict .
PLEASE GIVE YOUR OPINION ON THIS .

Today from The New York Times;

I first heard the term tonight and what what we have experienced in past 'syndromes' this is going to be one to the likes you've never seen before.
Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride... !!
