The book that started my journey of discovery;

Out of Control by Kevin Kelly

Quite prescient as we are 27yrs since it's publication. The Whole Earth Catalog and The Well (circa 1985) were beacons held the promise of innovative human collaboration. In some ways the world has taken a dystopian turn, in others there still is hope for a Golden Age.

Curious, but what about the conspiracy theories that actually are later found to be true? Because that happens.

The history of fake news:

There is criticism that the Yuri Bezmenov interview was not shown in full in the NYT opinion piece.

No claims are made in regards to the channel posting this interview, this is just the full interview with Yuri.

Playbook for Ideological subversion:
Demoralization
Destabilization
Crisis
Normalization

Yes, your assertion is accurate.

For me, in the context of Sensemaking, digging into history has been informative.

In addition The Encyclopedia Britannica citation on conspiracy theories as well as
Wikipedia's extensive inventory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories

What I'm attempting to find is a timeline like an ancestral tree in the formation and mutation of conspiracy theories. So far the wikipedia entry comes the closest but not as much a visualization as I'm looking for.

THAT;
and the [USa]talking snake media is known for untruths, lies+ disinformation, bias.
And what about the common pattern of USa talking snake media promoting a blame game + almost never helping someone take personal responsibility??
