Yea that’s what people don’t understand about how disinformation works. Like that bombing in Nashville? That could have been done for some tactical/strategic reason (disabling public safety communications) in order to attack some other objective for some reason, but the idiots talking about “a missile strike” and “DEWs” just provide cover and cause people to disregard any information that deviates from the official story.
If there was something else going on (and I have no idea what, but there are totally realistic possibilities) then nobody is ever going to find out because there’s so much complete bullshit about missiles and lasers and crap that would never be used or needed for anything like that even if the building were destroyed for some strategic reason.
So thanks idiots.... you’re just guaranteeing that if anything beyond the official story was going on nobody will ever find out and if anyone did then nobody will listen.
Same thing happened with the election fraud with BS disinformation stories about the election fraud situation being spread.
Yes, that is where it would be coming from. The main targets are actually politicians like MTG, people like Sidney Powell, etc. They will be fed false information even by seemingly “official” people to discredit them and make them look dumb and crazy. If they are not on guard against this then they are fucked and they go down. But they’re actually the main targets.
Other stuff like “qanon” would be targeted at populists in general, and if someone like MTG picks it up and doesn’t dismiss it that’s just a bonus for them.
The problem is worse than that. I’m not talking about press conferences or official statements. What happens is someone like a politician or reporter gets fed bogus “inside information” from someone who they think is trustworthy, but even if that person usually is they can be “worked” (tricked) by other people. So you get bad actor A tells usually reliable person B something fake then they tell that to C who is a politician, reporter, retired general, etc., who then talks about it in public.
That’s how you end up with false info in the NYT, but if target C is not a reporter (say they’re a politician or someone else who gets interviewed) then they end up repeating that stuff to others who report it.

If you're not automatically skeptical of everything "officials" and "experts" say by now, you might be a bit dumb or crazy.
