To Disparage Taliban NYT, CNN Quote Hoax Twitter Account, Create Fake Story
Gareth Porter has described how Corporate media stirred global terror hysteria to push postwar hostility toward new Afghan govt:
Following the Taliban’s victory over the U.S. military, U.S. corporate media has churned out a new narrative about the imminent threat of terrorism from Afghanistan that sets the stage for future military interventions. Blasted out in a stunningly disciplined fashion, the media has demonstrated as clearly as ever its coordination with the national security state and advancements of its interests.
The badmouthing of the Taliban government continues.
Today the New York Times as well as CNN ran a fake story intended to put the Taliban into a bad light:
New Taliban Chancellor Bars Women From Kabul University
Tightening the Taliban’s restrictions on women, the group’s new chancellor for Kabul University announced on Monday that women would be indefinitely banned from the institution either as instructors or students.
“I give you my words as chancellor of Kabul University,” Mohammad Ashraf Ghairat said in a Tweet on Monday. “As long as a real Islamic environment is not provided for all, women will not be allowed to come to universities or work. Islam first.”
The new university policy echoes the Taliban’s first time in power, in the 1990s, when women were only allowed in public if accompanied by a male relative and would be beaten for disobeying, and were kept from school entirely.

The CNN story, published later, says:
"As long as real Islamic environment is not provided for all, women will not be allowed to come to universities or work. Islam first," Mohammad Ashraf Ghairat said on his official Twitter account.
When I read the NYT story this morning I checked the account and found that its was an unverified account, created this month under the name of the new chancellor of Kabul University. The account had curiously used mostly English in its tweets and seemed unusual rough in its wording. The tweet in question, which the NYT quoted incomplete, started with "Folks!"
Something with the account was obviously off so I checked a bit more. It soon turned out that several Afghans had immediately pointed out that the account is a hoax and that the whole story thereby fake.

Students at Kabul University have rejected new claims that women have been banned after a major news outlet fails to verify tweets by a fake parody account.
Locals have urged reporters to uphold journalistic ethics and standards by thoroughly fact checking and verifying news.

Students from #Kabul University tell me that female faculty and students have been accessing the university as per usual. #NewYorkTimes should really verify their stories before publishing them. University #Chancellor refuses to give interviews. Directives from above I suppose.
The University of Kabul says that its chancellor does not have Twitter or Facebook accounts.

The Twitter account which the NYT and CNN quoted and linked no longer exists.
But nineteen hours after the New York Times, and later CNN, were told by Afghans that the story is fake they still carry their uncorrected false stories.
The NYT story was written by Cora Engelbrecht and Sharif Hassan and the CNN story by Karen Smith and Tara John. Obviously neither of these persons, who disparage a country with stories based on unverified hoax tweets without further checking, should be called a journalist.
Nor are their editors, who allowed the stories to be published based solely on a unverified tweet, qualified for their jobs.

<= ok, satellite accidents can be fixed. The point is to develop competing systems by using different packet size and hardwired routing protocols embedded in chips (no field re-configurable OS or BIOS in computers, routers, or network equipment browsers web clients or email clients allowed) so no field programmable event can interfere.
Change chips at different intervals [users buy the chips from trusted providers], so the protocol in use changes not by software changes installed over the Internet, but by physical change of chip. The chip set functions are hard wired to accommodate proprietary special purpose privacy protocol communications; even the browsers, email clients and servers are hardwired and operate off the Read Only chip.
Operating on a private wireless satellite network with chip set specific private protocols operating outside of PIGO surveillance and control is a competitive must. The array of businesses focused on invading everyone's privacy using standard protocols is astonishing.
I believe small business, given a choice, will strongly support alternative networks once alternative content is made audience friendly. But no one has given small business a choice? to produce that choice, alternative networks need to develop content good enough to attract wide audiences.
Chips are cheap.. can even convert the incoming electrical power supply to a different frequency so the network and user equipment operate at a different power frequencies to further deny unwanted intrusion. This could also slow and maybe halt the serious threat to one's health suggested by research into 5g implementations.
In fact, such an alternative hardwired network system could even create a major set of new industries owned and operated by people today's industries would never employ. Don't forget none of the people who worked on Linux in the early days were paid for their development effort.
Who knows, the demand for truly secure privacy may be great enough to attract large audiences. The larger the audience the more likely becomes advertiser $ support. Media sell access to their audiences to advertisers. Alternative media can do the same if it finds a way to secure its network from competitive interference. Audience size determines the success of media.
I am suggesting PIGO control over mainstream media has not been challenged by competition. Advertisers pay to reach audiences, at the moment the PIGO own all of the significant audiences. Alternative media needs to develop audiences, it needs an independent, secure network to do that with, because it is access to audiences that advertisers pay to reach.
Alternative media, operating on secure networks, could establish a central computer to allow advertisers to buy ads on the private secure network. A central advertising computer could be developed to insert and distribute ads, in ways that would deny advertisers any punitive control or adverse influence over the content, the user, the content provider or the audience.
If humanity wants its freedom from the awesome mostly malicious powers today's PIGO enjoy, humanity is going to have to compete with the PIGO for it. The PIGO choose the digital platform on which to conduct his competition for advertising dollars. Humanity needs to prepare itself, for the coming battle, because advertising support of alternative media is the key to democracy and independence.
Chips are cheap..computer motherboards are nothing but electrically powered sets of networks of chips, each can be programmed and hardwired to handle a different packet and word size and be hardwired programmed to use different protocols.
What search engines spy folks used to store, becomes invisible to them, as everyone on the alternative network, changes the physical chip in their systems.
Establishing systems using different protocols protected from intrusion by hardware over the Satellite, to attract global audiences into alternative media is the future.
If audiences develop <= advertisers will support the providers of the alternative systems and content providers will provide the content needed to compete with the audiences PIGOs currently own. Its the audience stupid.
Basically PIGOs have used advertising revenue to support their extraction of profit from humanity. Only recently has it been understood, that that spying, misinformation, continuous never ending, always abusive updates to software, and disruption of and redirection of information flows all attack and weaken democracy, human rights, and human independence. Alternative media is too weak to defend those infringed rights?
PIGOs want to control the minds and behaviors of their audiences. To do so, the PIGOs have created a network which allows them to manipulate their audience by controlling the variables that determine human behavior and belief.
I know competing with MSM is far fetched.. but it came to me that inventing Linux was far fetched. Yet a few people worked on it, and presto, Linux is the os of choice <= for most back office and network operations. Developing alternative media into an alternative set of networks capable to compete 1 on 1 with MSM delivered content means there will be alternative media for advertisers and audiences to support.
The PIGO (private imperialist global Oligarch) has pushed humanity far enough, its time for competition to weigh in.
