Das braune Netzwerk


Lief gestern abend im WDR: Das braune Netzwerk, eine Doku über die Strippenzieher hinter den Wutbürgern: „Immer entfesselter werden die Rufe auf den Straßen. Hassgesteuert gegen Merkel, Flüchtlinge, Demokratie und Rechtsstaat. Was mit Pegida begann, ist mit dem gigantischen Wahlerfolg der AfD zu einer neuen, wütenden Bewegung geworden.“ Zumeist rechts und oftmals rassistisch. Strategen, intellektuelle Vordenker und eine ganz neue junge Generation von Rechtspopulisten versuchen, diese Bewegung zu beeinflussen und zu steuern: Neo-Nazis in Hinterzimmern mit tiefen Verbindungen in Wirtschaftskreise. Sie heizen die Menge an und sind die wahren Akteure hinter den Rufen von Volk und Lügenpresse. Weltweit vernetzt verfolgen sie ein gemeinsames Ziel: den Aufbau einer außerparlamentarischen, antidemokratischen Bewegung.

Alles ist jetzt Fake News


Mittlerweile ist irgendwie alles Fake News: dubiose Geheimdienstleaks, ganz normale journalistische Artikel und sogar soziale Proteste in Mexiko. Unser Überblick zu den Debatten und Forderungen der letzten Tage und Wochen.

Das Thema Fake News entwickelt sich so langsam zu einem Erklärungsansatz, der für alle möglichen gesellschaftlichen, politischen und publizistischen Phänomene bemüht wird. Auf die gestrigen Veröffentlichungen bei CNN und Buzzfeed reagierte Donald Trump mit einem in kapitalen Lettern geschriebenen Tweet: „FAKE NEWS – A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!“. In einer turbulenten Pressekonferenz legte er nach und beschimpfte gar CNN mit den Worten „Ihr seid Fake News!“ Zuletzt erklärten mexikanische Behörden gegenüber der Zeitung El Universal, dass die Sozialproteste gegen eine Erhöhung des Benzinpreises durch Social Bots und Fake News angeheizt worden seien. Und hierzulande kann man manchmal den Eindruck bekommen, dass Rassismus und rechte Umfrageerfolge zunehmend mit Fake News und Meinungsrobotern erklärt werden.

The Deep State Goes to War with President-Elect, Using Unverified Claims, as Democrats Cheer


In January, 1961, Dwight Eisenhower delivered his farewell address after serving two terms as U.S. president; the five-star general chose to warn Americans of this specific threat to democracy: “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” That warning was issued prior to the decadelong escalation of the Vietnam War, three more decades of Cold War mania, and the post-9/11 era, all of which radically expanded that unelected faction’s power even further. This is the faction that is now engaged in open warfare against the duly elected and already widely disliked president-elect, Donald Trump. They are using classic Cold War dirty tactics and the defining ingredients of what has until recently been denounced as “Fake News.”

The top 8 most insane moments of Donald Trump’s press conference


President-elect Donald Trump had a lot of ground to cover in his first press conference in 167 days. Ahead of the already-scheduled Wednesday morning conference, BuzzFeed published an explosive dossier of unverified intelligence on Trump which alleged, among other things, that the Russians might have hard evidence showing him in some very compromising positions. Things did not get more tame from there. Here are just eight of the most batshit insane moments of Trump’s presser.

Dead Giveaway The 35 Page Dossier Was A Hoax? The British Don't Use "Confidential," They use "Official"


The identity of the British intelligence officer responsible for preparing and delivering the now infamous 35 page hoax has been revealed as Christopher Steele, courtesy of the Wall St. Journal. If you want to dig into his profile, click here. As people piece together this rapidly unfolding quagmire - which will be in the history books, it's important to address as many facets as possible in order to avoid perpetuating #FakeNews. As Oliver Stone said, more or less, the MSM is biased - and alternative news has the real deal, so let's discuss.

No, 4chan Didn’t Make BuzzFeed’s Intelligence Report on Donald Trump


Members of the anonymous imageboard 4chan are claiming responsibility for the BuzzFeed report about a 35-page dossier alleging that the Russian government has compromising material, on Donald Trump. The report, which remains unverified, also contained lurid sexual allegations about the President-elect. The Wall Street Journal reports that “people close to the matter” identified the document’s author as Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer who is now a director for a private security company called Orbis Intelligence Ltd.

Here's Obama's full farewell speech


Below is Obama's final, unedited speech as president: It’s good to be home. My fellow Americans, Michelle and I have been so touched by all the well-wishes we’ve received over the past few weeks. But tonight it’s my turn to say thanks. Whether we’ve seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people—in living rooms and schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on distant outposts—are what have kept me honest, kept me inspired, and kept me going. Every day, I learned from you. You made me a better president, and you made me a better man.
