If You’re Not Auto-Hoaxing You’re Not Paying Attention

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

Originally the term “autohoaxer” was a pejorative used to describe Youtubers who started hedging their bets on whether the latest shooting or terror attack was fake or not before reporting it as a hoax. The term was used derisively by those who would sometimes expose “false flags” on occasion, where it was merely a question of who had done it, rather than a “Did it even happen?”

Despite the alarming number of shootings and terrorist attacks with the same hallmarks of fakery, I continued to give the mainstream media the benefit of the doubt. It was true until proven false. However, as the months went by (years in flat earth time), I no longer had teh time to investigate every horrific event. I started to defer to the most notorious “autohoaxers” and found that I saved a lot of time and energy.

I began calling myself an autohoaxer out of expediency and because they were right one hundred percent of the time. Then it hit me. Fake News isn’t merely news with an ideological bias. It’s fabricated events presented as real. Propaganda in other words. And not just propaganda. High-tech agit-prop used to terrify a population in peacetime into accepting the protection of a police state while gaining approval for the “necessity” of war to prevent terror.

After the shooting event of October 1st in Las Vegas, I realized that Autohoaxing is not only expedient but it is critical to the survival of teh freedom of speech itself.

The autobelievers, those who blindly accept what they are told by the mainstream media. Just as religious fundamentalism becomes volatile and dangerous to the extent that it tends towards extremism, so too does blind acceptance of governmetn propaganda make the true believers dangerous and extreme.

These hoaxed events are used to advance gun control, suppress the first amendment, and attack independent journalism and reporting. Expecting the media to report facts during tragic events when the rest of what they do is biased, partisan, corrupt, and unreliable would be akin to expecting one out of ten SpaceX launches to actually put something into “space.”

In other words, if you’re not autohoaxing, you’re not paying attention.
