Thanks Crimson.
I've seen this before, but I don't recall where. Do you have a link back to the source?
Dealing with the multitude of disinformation strategies can be overwhelming. Rather than trying to identify and combat each strategy one at a time, I find it simpler to try to get a shorter checklist of positive interaction. For example:
- Is the information relevant to the alleged topic or issue?
- What is the source of the information? What evidence is there that this source is or is not impartial, or biased? What evidence is there that this source is well informed, able to bring in valid new information?
- Is the information applied in a logically consistent manner?
- Considering the person making this application: how open is that person to the possibility that their application might be mistaken, irrelevant, inaccurate, or unhelpful for particular audience members?
- Does the application provide a broader, deeper, or more thorough understanding than if this information had not been brought in?
- Is this more extensive understanding one that seems to mesh well with already known facts about the situation?
- Is this more extensive understanding one that can be used to promote love, joy, peace, harmony, wisdom, balance, and other positive qualities of experience?
With practice, I find that intuition usually does a pretty good job highlighting these types of answers, without the need to stop and ask each question every time. Occasionally, intuition is overwhelmed by conditioned responses. Once I realize this, I have an opportunity to trace back from the current catalyst to past catalyst, and reconsider what it all might mean to me.
By the way, you have a typo in the thread title. I'm willing to believe the typo was an honest mistake, not an attempt to hide this topic through desinformation.
Perhaps more importantly, by the way, I don't see the 25 disinformation practices you describe used in the L/L Research material or by most forum participants here, most of the time. I do see the positive practices I described widely used in the LLR material and by most forum participants here most of the time.
Your list reminds me of some extensively detailed discussions on psychopathic evil within human hierarchies. This theme used to be a major concern of a channeling-based forum whose members who have extremely intricate efforts to piece together history and current affairs. I say "used to be" because I decided to stop visiting that site a long time ago, so their interests may have changed since then. That's why I'm here rather than the other site I'm hinting at. I felt I was subjected to practices 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, and 24, by people showing traits 1, 2, 4, and 8. "Exhausting" doesn't begin to describe the negative experience I had there.
