What comes to mind when you think of Amber Heard? Liar? Survivor? Narcissist? Millions of us watched the celebrity trial of the century, Depp v Heard, in 2022. Amber Heard lost and Johnny Depp was vindicated. But what if Amber was actually the victim of an organised trolling campaign? What if the online hate against her was manufactured? Alexi Mostrous, the reporter who brought you Sweet Bobby and Hoaxed, investigates what happened to Amber and who might have been responsible. It’s a story about how our own thoughts and opinions can be moulded without us even realising.

"For almost ten years now, the media and the Democrat Party have been disingenuously and viciously misrepresenting Trump as a xenophobic, misogynistic, megalomaniac threat to the free world. If anything – anything – happened that was blameable it was Trump’s fault…"

The pet eating disinformation being spread by Trump, Vance, and other loony Republicans had its roots with folks which Weird Donald once described as "very fine people".
The issue in Springfield, about 45 miles from Columbus in southwest Ohio, involves thousands of Haitian immigrants who have settled in the city in recent years, many of them there legally under federal programs after having fled violence and political turmoil. Residents and political leaders, including Vance, have for months raised economic and public safety concerns, asserting that an influx of as many as 20,000 immigrants to a city that in 2020 counted a population of 59,000 has strained resources. Claims about pets being abducted, slaughtered and eaten are more recent. Blood Tribe, a national neo-Nazi group, was among the early purveyors of the rumor in August, posting about it on Gab and Telegram, social networks popular with extremists. While the group’s leader has taken credit for Trump’s indulgence of the claims, Blood Tribe’s reach is unknown; its accounts on those sites have fewer than 1,000 followers. Some Blood Tribe members also planned a couple of events in the real world, like a small Aug. 10 march in Springfield protesting Haitian immigration and an appearance at a city commission meeting later that month. The rumor soon crossed over to mainstream social media, like Facebook and X. NewsGuard, a firm that monitors misinformation, traced the origins to an undated post from a private Facebook group that was shared in a screenshot posted to X on Sept. 5.  “Remember when my hometown of Springfield Ohio was all over National news for the Haitians?” the user wrote. “I said all the ducks were disappearing from our parks? Well, now it’s your pets.”
A "savvy genius" is not somebody easily taken in by racist internet spam. The United States is not well served by a POTUS whose decisions are easily influenced by obvious bullshit.
Around that time, other social media posts about the rumor sprouted and went viral, some of them based in part on residents’ comments at public hearings. On Sept. 6, there were 1,100 posts on X mentioning Haitians, migrants or immigrants eating pets, cats, dogs and geese, according to PeakMetrics, a research company. The next day there were 9,100 — a 720% increase. The number of posts spiked again Monday, to 47,000, when Vance advanced the rumor on X.

Apparently if the car behind cannot pass car upfront then the car leading this pair is the fastest car.
Well tell Renault that in 2010 they had the monster of a car because both title contenders Hamilton and Alonso couldn't pass Kubica and Pietrov.
Pff tell Albon that his Williams is apparently the best car on the grid, when Mclaren of Norris couldn't pass him.
The leding car doesn't have to be the quickest. Just like the car that is making the pass doesn't have to be that much faster. It depends on the way you wanna pass and how you manipulate the situation for your benefit.
I am a fan of speedway. You know how many times I watched slower bike to cross the line first because they were defending like crazy, driving wisely and using the track to their benefit?

"I want to make sure your audience understands the depravity of what happened yesterday. So, after committing the worst atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust, the organization that was involved in dismembering children alive in front of their parents sent out a memo to the American press corps, 10 days later, in which they said Israel had killed 500 Palestinians by bombing a hospital. None of that turned out to be true. Israel did not bomb the hospital, the hospital's still standing, and we don't know how many people were killed, but it certainly wasn't 500. But our press corps, like the stenographers of terrorists that they are, simply repeated this lie. The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, the BBC, the AP repeated Hamas' lie word for word. Why did they do this? Because they are educated at elite institutions where they get woke mind-virused, they cannot tell right from wrong, they cannot tell truth from falsehood, and they simply lie and lie. Because to them, Israel is the 'oppressor,' and they spent 10 days having to describe atrocities against Jews and they were just desperate to get Israel back into the 'oppressor' position of the bad guy."

"Another aspect of the construction of whiteness is the way certain groups have moved into or out of that race. For example, early in our history Irish, Jews, and Italians were considered nonwhite-that is, on a par with African Americans. Over time, they earned the prerogatives and social standing of whites by a process that included joining labor unions, swearing fealty to the Democratic Party, and acquiring wealth, sometimes by illegal or underground means. Whiteness, it turns out, is not only valuable; it is shifting and malleable." -- "Critical Race Theory, An Introduction," Delgado/Stefancic
This is religion dovetailing with Critical Race Theory in real time.

Omar and Tlaib's excuse is obvious. They're raging antisemites, and Islam wants nothing more than to murder every last Jew.

But what's The New York Time's excuse?

Or the BBC?

Or Reuters, or Associated Press,

or CNN, or The Washington Post?

You know, for being the PR agents for a literal terrorist organization.
The New York Times was so giddy, they published a file photo from a site 25km away to go with the headline.

Hey kids,
In the United States, there are three branches of government: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. The Legislative Branch is Congress, and Executive, the President. Every few years, we vote in elections to choose those people. But the Judicial is special: when one of the nine Justices of the Supreme Court retires or passes away, the Senate, part of Congress, chooses their replacement. Then, they’re there for life.
In 2022, the Supreme Court chose to overturn Roe v. Wade, which previously found a right to abortion is protected by the Constitution. Now, do you remember who the Supreme Court is? That’s right, the Judicial! They get chosen for life. So, that decision was not made by Congress or the President. Constitutional rights also require 38 states and a supermajority in Congress to approve, so there is not currently a way to restore this right aside from the Court.
So what do we say when people blame President Biden for the loss of the right to abortion?

Humor is a coping mechanism for horror and pain, I would not shame anyone indulging in it. However, inspired by Brad Onishi of Straight White American Jesus, I would ask that people chuckling at Trump ranting about Haitians eating pets be mindful of the deep history of dehumanizing people who some would like to rationalize behavior towards that would be immoral and savage if it was directed against a “real” person. It’s not just a stupid thing the right has fallen for because of bad media literacy, it’s a belief they are actively choosing against all evidence to the contrary because they want an ex post facto reason to justify treating “dog eaters” like they are lower and less deserving of dignity and safety than a stray dog.

A Supreme Court justice in Brazil gives your platform 24 hours to get its act together and take responsibility for spreading misinformation and hate speech in the country. What do you do? Manchild-spectaculaire spends the early hours posting AI memes against the guy ofc!
