DISARM IS A DYSTOPIAN GLOBAL SURVEILLANCE TOOL TO IDENTIFY, CATALOG, AND COMBAT MISINFORMATION.

The keynote speaker of the World Economic Forum’s 2024 annual conference in Davos was Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission President. She stated the top global risk for the EU is disinformation and misinformation, declaring disinformation destroys trust and limits the ability to “tackle the big global challenges.” In plain English, trust can only be restored by censoring inconvenient facts and evidence. Below is a short clip (1:39) highlighting her disinformation sermon.

The top risk in the WEF’s 2024 Global Risk Report is disinformation. If not controlled, societies will be polarized, elections will be disrupted, and there will be mistrust of the media and governments. WEF wants to control free speech to protect it, or social cohesion will be destroyed, leading to civil unrest. Only governments can arbitrate the truth. Orwell’s 1984 has become a documentary.

Emerging as the most severe global risk anticipated over the next two years, foreign and domestic actors alike will leverage misinformation and disinformationto further widen societal and political divides.

Disinformation Software

Last year, investigative reporters Michael Shellenberger, Alex Gutentag, and Matt Taibbi appeared before Congress’s newly formed Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government regarding the FBI directing Twitter’s content-moderation practices. It was disclosed the Cyber Threat Intelligence League, or CTIL, used an Adversarial Misinformation and Influence Tactics and Techniques (AMITT) network platform to catalog and share misinformation. The network uses crowdsourcing with the information shared with social media platforms and government Intel agencies.

MITRE, a massive government IT contractor, collaborated with programming the AMITT platform. Pulling on threads for Department of Homeland Security grants, I found MITRE operates the DHS’s Security Systems Engineering and Development. AMITT’s genesis started with the COVID-19 information and disinformation tracking campaign. It involved NATO, DHS, Canada, and the EU’s European External Action Service assisting in tool adaptations and trials. AMITT has been upgraded to a second generation and renamed DISARM (Disinformation Analysis and Risk Management).

The DISARM Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2021 to maintain and enhance the DISARM Framework on behalf of its users. It was organized in Texas because the State does not regulate nonprofits. Hampton Roese is the organizer and Head of Digital Engagement for the nonprofit Public Democracy America, which has incubated over eighty left-leaning nonprofits.

DISARM’s 2022 990 tax return shows no assets; in other words, it is a shell entity. However, its website lists numerous funding and support sources, notably from Alliance4Europe, which receives co-financing from the EU Parliament. DISARM claims, “We receive no financial support from governments.” Well, at least not directly.

Omri Preiss, Managing Director of Alliance4Europe, an EU nonprofit, is Vice Chair of DISARM. Pablo Breuer serves as Chairman. He has previously worked for the Atlantic Council. Stephen Campbell is the Chief Technical Officer, and he recently completed a one-year extension program on digital forensics with the Atlantic Council. Sara-Jayne Terp is the Chief Scientist who teaches cybersecurity and cognitive security at the University of Maryland and is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. The Atlantic Council is a think tank based in Washington, DC, focusing on NATO and international affairs and substantially funded by US and European governments.

DISARM Framework

DISARM runs its platform and repository on GitHub, a cloud-based service using open-source programming. Using hyperlinks allows the developer to enable anyone to see the repository or choose who can see it. DISARM has published a one-hundred-and-eighty-five-page white paper explaining how to combat so-called hate speech, misinformation, malinformation, and disinformation, which can be downloaded HERE. Paraphrasing DHS slogan, “If You See Something, Say Something®; if you view something, report it.

To understand how the framework is used to report influence incidents, the following is a brief tutorial (4:04). The framework lists disinformation tactics. DISARM provides additional background information in its FAQ. The crowdsourced framework includes universities like Oxford, Harvard, and Stanford.

Digital Hangman’s Noose

There is a significant push to codify hate thoughts and speech as crimes not only at the national level but also at the local level. The United States Mayors Conference issued a “Compact to Combat Hate, Extremism and Bigotry,” calling for reporting hate incidents and the expansion of hate crime laws. DISARM will be the global tool to identify occurrences that will be reported to government agencies.

Globally, politicians and apparatchiks are moving towards digital IDs. USAID (CIA-founded and US-funded) issued an eighty-page white paper for developing a global digital ID program. The UN and EU are also proposing digital IDs. Digital IDs connected to DISARM [could] conveniently identify, track, and punish dissenters.

The final coil in the hangman’s noose is the installation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) for political oppression; the digital hangman noose will then be complete, with Orwell’s 1984 dystopia becoming a reality.

To the globalists, disinformation is anything they don’t want you to know. The most dangerous “disinformation” is information about them that is true.

The German aristocracy tries to reassert itself after suffering a rather bad defeat in the eyes of the world 80 years ago.

All with eyes to see will now be prosecuted by the New Age Gestapo.

Psychopaths never quit.

Von der crazy’s grandpa was a Nazi. So was schwabs dad. Sand for Freeland in Canada. In reality the WEF is the fourth Reich. All the Libs went crazy over the Man in the high Castle TV series, but they can’t see an actual Nazi government right in front of their faces.

There was a time when we did not maintain close friendly relations with countries that suppressed free speech. My how times have changed.

We are not allowed to read the history of these people, they are slowly scrubbing it and if some is brought to daylight it is assigned one of the lefts immediate labels, ie, misinformation, etc. These psychos never quit as another poster stated.

(To the globalists, disinformation is anything they don’t want you to know. The most dangerous “disinformation” is information about them that is true.)

The Bible / Scriptures / Almighty God’s Word will be enemy #1, marked for suppression, elimination, ridicule and maligned with liberal antichrist “interpretations” to deceive the masses and keep them ignorant.

Mark my words - this is the unspoken part of their plan.

NOTHING frightens the Godless Globalists like the Holy Word of God.

Working for Satan, whether they realize it or not, they MUST suppress the Word of God.

It is built-in to their very nature and causes great discomfort to their souls.

Time is short and the hour is late 🕚🕚🕚🕚.

The US gov’mt recently issued definitions on this. A new term is “malinformation”.

This is when YOU say or publish (on WWW is an example) true information that causes others to (more) distrust gov’mt.

For example, let’s say that it is true that the Russian collusion saga was a ..... “setup”, a collection of untruths issued to discredit DJTrump. Let’s, for the sake or argument, accept that as a fact.
If you go out and say that means the gov’mt parties involved/benefiting from that cannot be trusted on similar stories; you are guilty of spreading malinformation.

I do not know at this time if THEY plan to prosecute you on that.

These people are sociopaths. Not simply content to indulge in lavish luxurious lifestyles, they have a destructive need to control as many people as possible.
They live in a bubble and have created realities that do not naturally exist. Then they seek to impose their realities and/or ideologies on others particularly on those that resist.
I believe that they thrive on conflict and domination and are no doubt Satanically influenced. Although God is sovereign, Satan is the temporal ruler of the world at this time and he certainly uses these types of people against God and God’s people.

Is there a problem with misinformation and propaganda? Yes, there certainly is. But censorship is not the answer.
Truth is the answer, but censorship undermines people’s trust to the point that they will disregard truth if it comes from someone who is secretive and a habitual liar.

Sonar21 doesn’t seem to have any issues with Russian censorship.
