We are in the middle of the most dangerous information war in the history of mankind, and the survival of democracy depends on what we do next.
My DeepSec 2024 presentation on mass information warfare is now online. Here I reveal how Russia wages an international war on truth, and I show how we can all be part of the resistance.
I hope you will help me spread this message:

It’s been demonstrated that misinformation/disinformation spreads like a virus. Over a million Americans died during the COVID-19 pandemic, largely due to bad information. American women are already dying due to inadequate reproductive healthcare as a result of manipulative campaigns that undermine women’s autonomy. The next administration will cause many more deaths in myriad ways, from impeding our response to climate change; to dismantling systems for the protection of air, water and food; to outright pushing of non-scientific narratives related to disease prevention; to the mistreatment of migrants; to disruption of American alliances around the world. Disinformation kills as effectively as any lethal biological virus. Vaccination is necessary in the form of education, so thanks for sharing your presentation. But how to get it in front of the folks who really need to see it?
