I keep hearing "trust experts" even though they have a long track record of lying. Help me to assemble a file of their famous and destructive lies.

So I'd like everyone to post a specific lie, along with a citation. Quoting mainstream media is OK, as the people who will be reading this trust the media, and if they don't they'll be forced into arguing that the media are liars, which supports the experts are liars theme.

I'm talking about things like Iraq has WMD, China isn't responsible for Wuhan virus, the Ford Pinto is perfectly safe, etc. But every entry needs a citation! Don't just assert a list of things. It's too easily handwaved away.

Looking forward to find out what people here know. I love crowdsourcing.

The problem with pointing out the lies of the past is that the sheep have been programmed to write them off as a learning experience. They believe that most of it is just honest mistakes, and the fraud only happens when evil capitalists get involved.

The key is to point out the current fraud being perpetrated against IQ studies. The entirety of the scientific and educational fields, along with media and even Google collude on this propaganda. Of course that kind of brainwashing is going to be difficult to overcome, but there is no shortage of evidence to work with.

If you can't get someone to wake up on the subject of IQ, you aren't going to wake them up to systemic academic corruption.

So any claims parroted by teachers are immune from scrutiny. The same goes for party leaders.

Although i agree with you, the problem with this is the person then justifies this as a "one off" or a single mistake.

Creating such a list lends credence to the fact that this is a pattern.

And many, dare i say most may never make it, i mean it's everywhere. My nephew is being programmed to tell me that were all in this together and we have to stay inside to fight coronavirus. I won't give up on him though.. And having it available to see may plant a seed such that can one day someone might wake up.

If you search for Daniel Horowitz from CRTV, his Twitter is really good for info on most of the pandemic nonsense.
