As @emptywheel reminds us. Break up the text of #TFG 's #socialmedia posts, even when debunking them. Because if you repeat a lie over & over it might be considered a "fact, " like this joke.
"This is indeed an authentic quote from Bourdain’s writings." (Snopes)
"Once you've been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia ― the fruits of his genius for statesmanship ― and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to [Yugoslav President Slobodan] Milošević."
"While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg." Anthony Bourdain
'..kept a secret from the American public and personally directed by Kissinger, according to declassified documents.'
'Kissinger was not only criticized for his actions in Cambodia. He stood behind the West Pakistan government’s slaughter of civilians in East Pakistan (that would later become Bangladesh) in order to leverage Pakistan as a counterweight to China and India'
'In secret recordings Kissinger expressed disdain for people who showed sympathy for “the dying Bengalis.”'
'The list of countries and regions impacted by Kissinger's far-reaching and often blood-stained influence goes on.'
I didn't realize Snopes is banned by Facebook as part of the Meta fight with the Canadian Government - so people post things and you cannot even post the truth to debunk the rightwing conspiracy theories! #meta#snopes#ConspiracyTheories#rightwingextremism
@nitpicking it’s the way I chat to my mother and keep in touch with friends overseas - and when I see a post from a friend full of inaccuracies I cannot help but try to help them see sense.
