Melissa Fleming, the United Nations’ Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications, recently said during a forum at the SDG Media Zone during the 79th UN General Assembly last week that the proliferation of so-called misinformation and attacks against the UN are hurting progress on meeting their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and therefore indicates this “propaganda” must be quashed.
GZERO, who conducted the interview, wrote in a blog post covering the conversation with Fleming:
“Disinformation is running rampant in today’s world. The internet, social media, and AI — combined with declining trust in major institutions — have created an ecosystem ripe for exploitation by nefarious actors aiming to spread false and hateful narratives. Meanwhile, governments worldwide are struggling to get big tech companies to take substantive steps to combat disinformation. And at the global level, the UN’s priorities are also being hit hard by these trends.”
Fleming said in a comment:
We can’t bring about and generate stability in fragile environments if populations are turning against our peacekeepers as a result of lies being spread against them online. We can’t make progress on climate change if people are being led to believe first of all, that maybe it doesn’t even exist, or that it’s not as bad as they thought, or that it’s actually too late and there’s nothing that they can do about it.
The UN alone cannot tackle these problems without civil society, without people. And the people are what drives political agendas. So it’s really important for us to work on our information ecosystems together.
When asked about how the UN can rebuild trust in major media and journalism, Fleming noted how people no longer trust “reliable sources,” as there used to be a general consensus among populations because “everybody is agreeing on the same fundamental facts. We’ve lost that in the digital age,” she said.
The UN head also claimed that because trust in institutional media has been lost, fake journalists and news sites that are actually just “propaganda platforms,” but disguise themselves as being news sites.
She further claimed that people who are “addicted to social media algorithms don’t have the attention span to go and dig and really look.”
In terms of dealing with AI misinformation and deepfakes, Fleming said:
We’ve spent a lot of time also trying to educate the public on how to spot misinformation and disinformation and how to tell if a photo is real or if it is fake. In the AI information age, that’s going to become nearly impossible.
So we’re calling on AI actors to really create safety by design, and don’t leave it only to the users to be able to try to figure out how to navigate this. They are designing these instruments, and they can be part of the solution.
In 2022, The WinePress reported on Fleming’s remarks she gave then about tackling misinformation, where she admitted that the UN worked directly with TikTok to artificially pump-up the coverage for “scientist” influencers to relay their message.
We had another trusted messenger project which was called Team Halo, where we trained scientists around the world and some doctors on Tik-Tok, and we had Tik-Tok working with us,
And these scientists who virtually had no following to start with, got ‘verified ticks.’ They started bringing people in their community into their labs, into their offices, and answering their questions and engaging with them.
It really took off, and many of them became like national media go-to advisors. […] So it was a layered deployment of ideas and tactics […]
People need to be inoculated themselves, and I think social media took off so quickly, that, I think people of all ages are very ill-equipped, especially in times of crisis when they’re feeling very engaged with what’s out there, and searching, and wanting to help, and wanting to share – really learning actually how to spot mis and disinformation, and how not to be part of the problem.
Moreover, earlier this year Fleming advocated for a “digital integrity code” to tackle “health misinformation,” a new way of spreading the UN’s messaging on social media and other platforms.
Fleming has also promoted a tactic called “pre-bunking,” a scheme that plants key information in the mind of the viewer, so when they encounter something that goes contrary to the narrative they will know to reject it.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Proverbs 6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. [13] He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; [14] Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
The double-speak and lies from these people never cease to amaze. Here’s this woman, saying that people who don’t swallow their nonsense have low attention spans, while at the same time they are promoting bad actors and controlled opposition propagandists to peddle their message on these platforms, by her own admissions; and you wonder why people don’t trust you, Fleming?
Of course, I’m sure I am one of those pesky “propaganda” sites that won’t stop exposing you, right? Well, as long as God grants me utterance, I will CONTINUE to expose you and your cronies for the liars that you are!
Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

The United Nation already took over the governments around the world. Nobody wants to band together to get rid this demonic organization. It is always been bread and circus. All sheeple npcs are just going to follow along while they kill us with their green new deal, biological and chemical weapons, direct energy weapons, geoengineering, earthquake weapons, and nuclear weapons. This will never end until they kill all of us slowly.
