Big Media Deluded

Colombia: Small country, Big lies 

How international media outlets are being tricked in to replicating fake news about Colombia

Cali, Colombia, May 7 2021 -  A clever terror campaign has just been unleashed in Colombia, and it has so many smokescreens and plot-twists, it almost sounds like a Hollywood movie. Following a script that has already been tested in other countries like Venezuela and Chile, the pro-communist cadres of latinamerica, with the backup from leftist governments, have been able to use a widely popular theme, opposition to a raise in taxes, as a frame to disguise an armed attack to one of the continent’s most stable democracies.

This macabre destabilizing plan has been executed with clockwork precision. And so far it has worked so well, that a huge amount of fake news has reached mainstream international media at alarming speeds. It’s all part of the plan. A prepared campaign of false numbers, fake videos and photos, has been swallowed and broadcasted with flippancy, bypassing elemental rules of decent journalism: check your sources, direct reporting. 

Major media outlets have reported that pacific protests have been met by violent and murderous police attacks commanded by an iron-fisted government, mostly based on edited videos that show only the police’s response, not the actions that caused each incident.

Want to know the truth? Send reporters. You will see Cali’s 2.5 million people suffering under a now 9 day long siege. No gasoline, no food, no supplies for hospitals. You will see a pandemic-impoverished population, unable to work for basic survival because the city has more than 50 roadblocks staffed by violent thugs paid with drug and foreign money.

You will be able to count how many ambulances have been burned, how many markets, banks and small businesses have been ransacked. You will be able to interview the thousands of bankrupt small business owners. You will witness the death of hundreds of sick patients, unable to reach medical care. You will witness how the police cannot act under the orders of a confused and timorous city mayor, and military leaders fearful of international condemnation. You will be able to visit the hundreds of police members after being bombed, burned, knifed under strict prohibition to use their weapons even when viciously attacked. 

You will hear the bombs exploding all over the city, provided by the native indigenous tribes (who have well-documented ties to the country’s drug cartels) that have invaded the city and now control its southern border. You will be able to document the center for arms and bomb distribution located on Universidad del Valle’s campus, a public university with a long history of ties to communist ideals.  

If you try harder you will find numerous content and social media farms: warehouses with computers where the smartest tech-savvy cadres are designing and spreading the strategy to manipulate social networks and feed the media with edited material and distorted statistics.

By disseminating a completely false version of the facts, carefully prepared and served to big media, this disinformation strategy is quickly harnessing international support for these criminals, causing an immense damage to the now slim possibilities a legitimate government has of controlling the situation. And once the situation turns critical and we have a civil war or a communist state that will inevitably impoverish the country, you will be writing editorials on how to handle massive inmigration by thousands of desperate Colombians.
