At norske journalister og kommentariat i 99% av tilfellene vender seg mot engelskspråklige kilder er et problem i normale sammenhenger men blir ekstra kritisk når samfunnsdebatten i UK og USA går full kulturkrig og det eneste trikset du kan er å oversette det til norsk

From the President who brought you ‘we’ll do it with two years’ notice to give people time to move manufacturing’, and ‘we’ll sign a treaty with the EU stipulating that its 15% tariff includes pharmaceuticals’, comes ‘actually yeah we’ll double your price unless you turn the sod over here in a week’

Når jeg holder foredrag om konspirasjonstenkning, pleier jeg å vise eksempler på hvordan det tar ca fem minutter fra noe skjer til transfolk får skylda. Transfolk er faktisk i ferd med å utfordre jødene som standard-syndebukkene for skrotinger.
Nå er dette mainstream. Sandelien er Høyre-politiker.

Mitt spørsmål til journalister:
Er dere ikke lei av å bli ljugd til? Jeg blir _sur_ når folk lyver til meg, jeg! Blir ikke dere? Hva med å sjekke disse tallene FØR DERE PUBLISERER? Og når det viser seg å være løgn, hva med å heller skrive saken "Milliardær prøvde å selge inn løgn om formuesskatt"?

Formuesskatten er ingen perfekt skatt (om noe sånt overhode finnes), men det er forstemmende hvordan debatten i valgkamp etter valgkamp etter valgkamp preges av caser som viser seg å være sterkt overdrevet eller direkte feil fremstilt.

Svarte på spørsmål fra en tiendeklassing med skoleprosjekt på stand i dag. En voksen mann fra FRP-standen kom bort og sa at hun ikke måtte snakke med MDG. Fem minutter senere sto en forbipasserende og ropte til henne at likestilling var det verste som hadde skjedd. HVA har skjedd med folk?

Det er faktisk det verste jeg har hørt. Skattelette til milliardærer finansiert av flat skatt på folkeopplysning.
Høyre ønsker å innføre moms på bøker. Ikke bare det, men de vil ha høyeste sats. Vet folk det?

Leseferdigheten synker og det norske språket trues av engelsk. Høyre vil likevel innføre moms på bøker.

A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr.
CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

It’s sort of unrelenting. This war on truth and evidence and fact. All to replace it all with ignorance, ideology and vindictiveness.
Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.
Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Norske milliardærer støtter denne mand økonomisk, denne lavpris-Trump og hans perverterede form for kristendom. Hvorfor? Så de slipper for at betale mere i skat. Dette er prisen vi alle må betale som samfund hvis de lykkes. Håber at alle husker på dette når de næste gang klager over skatten.

“The Israeli military never found proof that [Hamas] had systematically stolen aid from the United Nations…In fact, the Israeli military officials said, the UN aid delivery system, which Israel derided and undermined, was largely effective in providing food to Gaza’s desperate and hungry population”
Breaking News: Israeli military officials say they have no proof Hamas routinely steals UN aid, undercutting a claim Israel has used to limit food for Gaza.
No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say
Israel has long restricted or completely blocked aid to Gaza on the argument that Hamas steals it to use as a weapon of control over the population.

Når dere leser om at revolusjonerende nye kreftmidler ikke er tilgjengelige pga det trege norske byråkratiet, kan det være greit å vite at de fleste av dem ikke er så fantastiske som lobbyistene vil ha det til.
Phase 3 oncology RCTs often report positive results based on alternative end points, but actual improvements in overall survival or quality of life are rare.

De fleste vet at nazistene brukte propaganda om jøder og minoriteter, og navnet på spinndoktoren deres. Men kanskje har vi lært for lite om hva propagandaen besto i til å klare å gjenkjenne det når folkegrupper omtales som skadedyr, dehumanisering, sterke menn, blod og jord, fertilitet og eugenikk.

CDC doesn't have access to its social media accounts anymore. The Trump Administration has taken it over to spread its propaganda.
"…fewer than half of the public health posts they've sent to HHS for approval have been cleared for publication on social media. Even posts that include basic information about recent disease outbreaks, like the number of people sickened or hospitalized, have not been posted as requested"
Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago
Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.
