Hell, even #prepping in this context - complete with it’s bunkers, blunderbusses and baked beans - is the very soul of pollyannish ignorance of reality.

Yes, I know that my retreat to tend this little patch of forest, which will fail, is precisely that - a retreat. At least I’m no longer a positive #denialist .

I live in the last scene of the movie Brazil, but we all do, some of us are merely more aware of our life of fantasy.

Landman Petroganda 🧵 /7

"Newsweek discovered most of what Norris said in the viral scene was either false or deeply misleading."

That's just one segment from one show. It of course went spread like, well, WILDFIRE amongst the #FarRight #Denialist #MAGA types, benefiting the wealthiest industry on the planet that has disinformed the world on #ClimateChange for decades. Despicable.

RNC plan for 2020 #denialist to head ‘#election #integrity’ unit raises alarms

As Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has cemented its hold on the Republican National Committee (RNC), alarms are being raised about the organisation’s tapping of the fervent election denialist #Christina #Bobb to run an “election integrity” unit.

Bobb is a former Trump lawyer and ex-reporter for the far-right #One #America #News #Network, who gained prominence after Trump’s 2020 loss for promoting bogus fraud charges in Arizona, Wisconsin and elsewhere, and was part of Trump-backed efforts to substitute fake electors for ones that Joe Biden won in some states.

Bobb helped spread phoney voting fraud claims with Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani and the former campaign operative Mike Roman, both of whom along with Trump and others face charges in Fulton county, Georgia, of conspiring to overturn Biden’s win there; Bobb was not charged.

Last year Bobb wrote "Stealing Your Vote: The Inside Story of the 2020 Election and What It Means for 2024," a book that was chock full of #baseless charges about 2020 election fraud.

Former judges, ex-Republican congressmen and election watchdogs voice strong concerns about Bobb’s mission and the potential dangers posed by her flood of erroneous charges of voting fraud.

“By designating Bobb to the RNC post,
💥they’re beginning to promulgate the same false narrative of widespread election fraud that we saw in 2020 and 2021 but way earlier💥,” said John Jones, a former federal judge in Pennsylvania and now president of Dickinson College.

“There’s a concept known as #illusory #truth,” he added. “If you keep saying these same falsehoods over and over, people begin to believe they’re true, and it has the potential to morph into violence.
That puts judges, prosecutors and others at risk.”

...do this by the Book: an #ordeal.

The denialists should all trade houses with the Canadian inhabitants.
If they all survive, I will believe that they are right, God had rescued them, and I will become a #denialist.

Other than that, they got out of the way of saving our species and thousands of others from mass extinction-level events. /s

Shasta County government is struggling to perform its basic services due to election #denialist kooks being in charge.

Eric Ting: Shasta County is in a 'bad place,' and Mike Lindell may be to blame

"California's Shasta County — now controlled by a conservative supermajority on the Board of Supervisors — is still gripped by 2020 presidential election conspiracy theories. Nearly two months after the board terminated its contract with Dominion Voting Systems, county leaders have yet to determine a replacement, setting the stage for a possibly contentious meeting next week."

"The IPCC estimated in a special report in 1999 that the historic impact of #aviation on the #climate was two to four times greater than from its CO2 #emissions alone.

Milan Klöwer, a climate scientist at MIT, said airlines were adopting a “typical climate #denialist strategy” by overstating the level of uncertainty about non-CO2 effects. He said: “Even in the best case, they roughly double the effect of CO2 emissions on the climate.” "
