SOTN Editor’s Note:<\/strong> SOTN has also recently “received an email from NewsGuard, \u201can independent organization that rates and reviews news outlets based on nine apolitical journalistic criteria”<\/em>.\u00a0 Our editorial staff was asked to respond to similar inquiries as those stated by Paul Craig Roberts in his article posted below.\u00a0 It’s important to understand that NewsGuard was founded by a couple of Khazarian attorneys, one from Chicago—L. Gordon Crovitz; the other from New York City—Steven Brill.<\/h3>\n

First let’s take a closer look at Crovitz:<\/h3>\n

Crovitz is a Phi Beta Kappa<\/a>\u00a0graduate of the\u00a0University of Chicago<\/a>.[1]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0He received a law degree as a\u00a0Rhodes Scholar<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0Wadham College<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Oxford University<\/a>\u00a0and later a law degree from\u00a0Yale Law School<\/a>.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Who would ever trust anyone with those hardcore New World Order<\/em> globalist credentials?!\u00a0 We’re talking about 5 black marks in just one paragraph from his Wikipedia page … in addition to belonging to the notorious Khazarian Clan.<\/h3>\n

Next, let’s peer into his co-founder’s background:<\/h3>\n

“Brill was born to a Jewish<\/a>\u00a0family[3]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0in\u00a0Far Rockaway, Queens<\/a>, New York.[4]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0He is a graduate of\u00a0Deerfield Academy<\/a>,\u00a0Yale College<\/a>\u00a0(B.A., 1972), and\u00a0Yale Law School<\/a>\u00a0(J.D., 1975).[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brill’s book Tailspin: The People and Forces Behind America’s Fifty-Year Fall–and Those Fighting to Reverse It<\/strong> is written from the perspective of an ultra-liberal, Big Government<\/em>, super-progressive, Democrat-hugging, highly entitled East Coast urbanite and proud professor emeritus of the Northeast intelligentsia.\u00a0 So, you can imagine how these two Khazarian liars<\/del> lawyers — Brill and Crovitz — run the NewsGuard FAKE fact-checking operation.<\/h3>\n

Now let’s see what PCR has to say about these two bad actors and their patently bogus “journalism and technology tool that rates the credibility of news and information websites and tracks online misinformation”<\/em>.<\/h3>\n

The \u201cFact Check\u201d Scam<\/em><\/h1>\n

Paul Craig Roberts<\/p>\n

Last Monday I received an email from \u00a0NewsGuard, \u201can independent organization that rates and reviews news outlets based on nine apolitical journalistic criteria.\u201d<\/p>\n

The analyst asked me to comment on two statements in my columns \u00a0in which I am accused of \u201cadvancing false and unsupported claims.\u201d<\/p>\n

One \u00a0false and and unsupported claim is \u201ca March 2022 article titled \u2018Ukraine Hosted Illegal US Biowarfare Laboratories,\u2019 repeated Russian and Chinese propaganda about the presence of U.S.-run bioweapons labs in Ukraine, which has been repeatedly debunked by fact-checking organizations and refuted by U.S. government officials.\u201d<\/p>\n

The alleged \u201cfact checker\u2019s\u201d claim that I made a false and unsupported claim is incorrect for two reasons.\u00a0 One is the fact that a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency produced official US government documents that state that the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, a component of the U.S. Department of Defense, funded anthrax laboratory activities in a Ukrainian biolab in 2018. The US government\u2019s records also show over $11 million in funding for the Ukraine biolabs program in 2019.\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/www.judicialwatch.org\/dod-records-anthrax-lab\/?utm_campaign=tipsheet&utm_term=members<\/a><\/p>\n

See also:\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/defense-department-records-reveal-us-funding-anthrax-laboratory-activities-ukraine\/5799255<\/a><\/p>\n

Apparently, it never occurred to the dumbshit \u201cfact checker\u201d that relying on assurances from a proven liar such as the US government is no way to check a fact.\u00a0 How, \u201cfact checker,\u201d does the government refute its own admission? \u00a0Notice also that the \u201cfact checker\u201d thinks that a statement by the Russian government is \u00a0\u201cunsupported,\u201d \u00a0but a statement by the US government is considered \u201csupported.\u201d \u00a0How does this obvious bias serve to verify any fact?<\/p>\n

The second reason the \u201cfact checker\u201d is incorrect indicates that the \u201cfact checker\u201d is incapable of understanding that to report what the Russian government claims to have discovered in Ukraine is not misinformation or propaganda. It is correct information\u00a0reporting<\/em>\u00a0Russian claims.\u00a0 What we see here is a \u201cfact checker\u201d who thinks or has been trained to see any report, whether or not endorsed by the reporter, of an item in the \u201cimpermissible to be mentioned\u201d category as a \u201cfalse and unsupported claim.\u201d \u00a0In other words, all is false except official narratives.<\/p>\n

My other \u201cfalse and unsupported claim\u201d is that 100,000 vote spikes are indications of fraud, a conclusion endorsed by numerous experts.\u00a0 The \u201cfact checker\u201d alleges that vote spikes \u201care commonplace and due to the release of large batches of results all at once from solidly Democratic or Republican districts, or from mailed ballots.\u201d What the \u201cfact checker\u201d does not account for is the extreme unlikeliness of a vote dump of 100,000 or more ballots that is all for one candidate, or how votes were mailed in such a way that all Democrat votes arrived in the same delivery.\u00a0 Perhaps it is statistically possible for 100,000 votes to arrive in an unbroken stream all for the same person, but the probability of such an event is far too low to account for the large number of times it throws a close election to a Democrat. Are there that many voting precincts in which not a single Republican voter lives?\u00a0 Republican vote spikes are rare and seem to happen when the algorithm of the voting machines has created an unbelievable margin of Democrat victory and has to be narrowed.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, \u201cfact checkers\u201d are unintelligent people devoid of integrity who are hired to support official narratives by stamping out truth and dissenting opinion.\u00a0 Who checks the \u201cfact checkers?\u201d\u00a0 There is no reason to trust a \u201cfact checker.\u201d\u00a0 Anyone can set up a \u201cfact check\u201d site to protect any material or ideological interest from examination.\u00a0 Note that \u201cfact checkers\u201d appeared only after the official narratives became so blatantly false that they had to be protected from examination.\u00a0 Never before did we have an industry of censors employed to protect official narratives.\u00a0 \u201cFact checkers\u201d are the true enemies of truth.<\/p>\n
