Well done unherd. This filth needs to be exposed.
Filth? Huh?

@@johnsmith1474 Yup. What would you call the sort of manipulation that has gone on?
@@andreaandrea6716 40 yrs ago I dated an alleged narcissistic sociopathic manipulative girl. Over the last few years, almost everyone in media and nearly every man with fake shoulder pads on a soapbox, spoke just like she did way back then.
Please watch the lecture Jay Battacharya gave at MIT on April 4.
George Orwell - 'The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.'
Yes, it's no coincidence that the people that are so 'concerned' about 'disinformation' are the same people that want the most control.
All of the noise about this issue has come from the top, the General Public doesn't give a hoot about 'disinformation'.
As far as they (the Elite) are concerned there's no distinction between 'disinformation' and 'disobedience'.
Sam Vaknin said 2 years ago: "Artifiacial intelligence is narcissistic, it steals jobs, it pretends empathy and it spreads misinformation and fake data, exactly as narcissists do and the government should regulate AI."
How do people know what is spread by people and what is spread or highlighted by AI algorithm.... if AI can spread misinformation and highlight the certain topics in the algorithm?
AI may spread any bug or information that isn´t true or create a fake picture and people may believe anything.
or may highlight the topic that is controversial, because people click on it more.
Meanwhile JULIAN ASSANGE , truthteller, reporter, HONEST MAN, rots in Belmarsh.
Assange's indictment is for actively engaging in espionage against the US. Nation states in the modern world obviously need to keep classified documents secret -- the lives of those in the intelligence network depend on them as does the US' strategic nuclear stance, to name just two examples.
Dear Freddie avoids the discussion of Assange at all cost it seems.
He declined to ask Sumption why he had no sympathy for Assange's predicament.
Are you trying to warn Freddie? All I know is, if I were him or his family, I'd be worried at this point. Paranoia or not. Because the "fake news" and "disinformation" handles just don't fit Freddie do they. It's possible to predict that they may now have have to find some other way.
@@MarcusCorbett That's a pity, and I already have seen that he seems to avoid certain topics and names, probably this is a compromise without he could not talk to the House of Lords, which is very important indeed, as he also could show this communication in public on his channel.
Name a truth he told, just as a reminder for everyone!
The reason why the folks behind GDI aren't responding is that they are already shutting it down and setting up a new one. That's how it works, if you get caught, rebrand.
I am afraid this is how it works.
Sounds about right.
While simultaneously bingeing every UnHerd piece of content ever produced to try to find SOMETHING, ANYTHING that supports their assessment of them.
That's what we see from those addicted to power.
That's why what we need is properly funded groups to catalogue track and expose every one of these groups, where their funding comes from and who runs them.
Bravo Freddie, one of the best pieces of journalism I’ve seen in years.
😂😂😂 you have far to go 😂😂😂
@@jasonstreatham5809as you do Mr troll ..
Brilliant work by Unherd. The quality of your journalism puts the mainstream media to shame. I hope you go from strength to strength….
I just discovered “Unherd,” I am impressed to say the very least. Keep up the fight for freedom of information!
You were one of the few that questioned all that was happening during the covid times. Braverly. Since then I been following you. We need more voices like yours. Thank you very much. I hope you keep standing up for the quest of the truth.
We've been through this in Poland. In communist times.
The West is still surprised. 🙂
Yeah, we're kind of "vaccinated" against the governments overreach!
Absolutely brilliant Freddie. But the real stunner and sad reality is that you have to spell out the blindingly obvious to a select committee.
This is what we’ve needed. An eloquent well presented and factual argument against the censorship industrial complex. A move away from the sensationalism and pseudo spiritual nonsense of RUclipsrs like Brand et al. The main stream can’t ignore Unherd and Freddy as he’s playing them at their game. Unherd is amazing and well done Freddy, very much appreciated.
Exactly all of this.
Is Brand wrong though?
@@fredgarvinMPHe may not be wrong but I find Brand's presentations lack the clarity and eloquence of someone like Freddie. As a result, I can't watch Brand.
@@zumamaya2396he's a bit much at times, but he has a sizeable niche that needs this kind of frenzied poetry, and at the end their messages are nearly a perfect match, i.e. they're pulling in the same side of the rope IMHO. With that said, I adore Freddie's total composure and verbal control!
I thought it was really interesting/funny that almost every question that was asked was a variation on, "But Freddie, how is the government supposed to maintain control of The Narrative?" They simply could not get their heads around the notion that it's not for them to control our every thought. When and how the hell did that happen? They're so comfortable with it too. Smh.
Foolish Freddie fake news, reporting to his 🎉 superiors🎉😂😂😂🎉
Here's my suggestions:
(1) Completely abandon any notion that "disinformation" can ever include true claims. The only thing which should ever be considered disinformation are claims which are demonstrably implausible.
(2) If there is to be any role for government at all. It should be in countering those claims. Not censoring them. And certainly not censoring them secretly.
Agreed, also, the sad irony is, that, in a lot of cases, it is THEM (the Government) that are the biggest spreaders of disinformation.
A lot of the 'disinformation' that they are so concerned with, were people questioning the vax and the benefits of lockdowns, THEY (the Government) deemed those people as purveyors of 'disinformation'.
Yet, subsequensent research has shown that those doubts were in fact warranted.
But, of course, there's no acknowledgment of that, it's all about those Shady Characters out in the internet darkness, that are maliciously spreading 'disinformation', it's laughable.
@@andybrice2711 yes, a lot of the time disinformation is based on logical fallacy that can be demonstrated to be invalid from first principles. There will be a few straight-up lies, but they are usually things that wouldn't amount to much, even if true, without the overall kinks in thinking.
Freddie just lectured the lecturers and they listened intently. Brilliant.
We are so lucky to have someone as articulate and "mainstream presenting" as Freddie!
Excellent. Sayers/Unherd are rapidly becoming the leading voice of reason in this benighted country of ours.
Thank you for your input, Gary Gullible 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jasonstreatham5809can you put forward any reasons or do you prefer to just fire insults from the sidelines?
Google Freddie Sayers controlled opposition. How many pages do you see from people claiming he is controlled opposition?
@@jasonstreatham5809 whatever you think of him, his points here are valid.
And abroad! (I'm on the west coast of the US and semi regularly tune in).
Great Job on exposing this dangerous organization's heinous claims!!
Congratulations and thank from Germany. We are following your efforts closely to confront our own politicians and media.
Fantastic work by Unherd. Because GDI has been outed there are many making the appropriate noises. But let us not be fooled. The agenda remains unaltered. Also GDI is one organization. You can be sure there are thousands of organizations globally supporting this propaganda. There is no room for complacency.
Discovered Unherd during lockdowns - without your channel & a couple of others I think I truly would have lost my mind!!! You are a shining light in a sea of nastiness.
Let's hope this enquiry leads to positive changes....well done for highlighting this despicable practice, which, as you rightly say, causes lots of harm within society.
What an extraordinary win. During the 'Pandemic' my heart was broken and I kept telling my kids, "we need a 'Eureka Moment' so people will wake up".... well, 3.5 years later, we have it!
Well done Freddie Sayers and UnHerd!
The politicians won't actually do anything about the GDI because both parties want to silence truth and replace it with lies.
So true. If I were cynical, I'd suspect this is all research into how they might do it better a.k.a. "How can we sell our desired narratives more convincingly?"
It's also an ego thing, these Politicians and Elitists have an inherent superiority complex, and they just know, that they know, what is best for all the rest of us, so these 'Fact Checking' Organisations just feed on that.
"Of course we need people to filter the information that the general public receives, what a great idea, we can't have people running around spreading nonsense"
Censorship is spreading fast all around the world. 😢
It already has spread all over the world.
Google Freddie Sayers disinfo agent - no results, totally censored - is there really no one on the internet who thinks Freddie Sayers is a disinfo agent 😂😂😂
It should be criminal and carry a life sentence as a mandatory minimum.
@@jasonstreatham5809most of the them are. Okeefe, A jones, freddie, tucker, Elon, etc
We were always censored. It’s only because it’s now coming from the idiot left we’re complaining.
Two things increased my scepticism by orders of magnitude:
1 the reaction of the Establishment - all parts of it - to the plebs voting for Brexit,
2 the lies told to us in the Covid pandemic.
There are sooo many more examples.
do you remember the war in Irak ? The infamous wmd's ? You killed millions because of that lie.
How about JFK ? Brexit also (armagedon), the list just goes on..
Extremely well done Unherd. To get the problem aired on a global scale is some feat and something I did not think I would ever see given what went on throughout Covid and the aftermath.
Those of us who aren't in positions to speak out are so happy to have people like you out there fighting for humanity! Without you we would be lost and at the mercy of the those trying to oppress and censor!!!
Well done, Unherd team - you're bringing this pernicious industry out into the light for scrutiny, sorely needed.
Very erudite in your delivery, and excellent points made. I remember a RUclips video of the deputy editor of the British Medical Journal being banned for having 'antivaxxer' concerns about the level of scrutiny applied to covid-related research paper submissions by Nature , the BMJ and the Lancet.
Freddie at his most articulate and polished best! How very impressive. I must subscribe and pay.
How is possible for Freddie to be be relatively unknown in a world where a bumbling and unsophisticated fool can become the US president?
Well done Freddy, you presented Unheard very well.
Freddie - you’re a true professional. Thank you for all that you do.
Freddie, highly intelligent and beautifully expressed testimony you gave there. You’re truly impressive.
A real English gentleman*! 😁
👍👍👍
* Yes, I know you have links to Sweden. You must make them proud too. 😁
Indeed, a real english gentleman!
Thank you Unherd
Why are you thanking a mockingbird? His visit to parliament is as legitimate as Jimmy Dore speaking to the UN. Wake up, Freddy is a gatekeeper.
Like follow and subscribe 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jasonstreatham5809 ?
What we need to know now is who allowed and promoted the GDI, names please.
Forces of evil are behind it - when basic biology becomes disinformation then u know there is something seriously wrong
Didn’t you watch The Prisoner all those years ago? We don’t get to know that.
Why is this important? GDI being exposed is important, not organizing a witch hunt.
Thank you for the good work. With people like you, I believe we will get to a future where people who speak the truth are not discredited like you have been.
what a legendary handling of that committee hearing by someone who truly understands how to use their language to get across our points!
Your points 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jasonstreatham5809 your point?
@@moriartyco He doesn't have one. You can always easily recognise people with few original ideas by their fondness of emojis
@@jesperburns you're so right...I'm thinking a bot, the 77th or a 13 year old incel!
No government employee, contractor, or unelected official should be allowed to push any information to the public. As a corollary, all government employees, contractors, and unelected officials should be required to place all unclassified government owned information on a government website where any citizen can quickly and easily retrieve it.
Any citizen should be able to sue any government employee, contractor, or unelected official who fails to place such information on that website, or who places any false information on the website.
Additionally, no government employee, contractor, or unelected official should discuss his government work with the public, except at the invitation and in the presence of an elected official. The buck stops with elected officials. As a corollary, no government employee, contractor, elected or unelected official should ever have or use a spokesman. The buck stops with elected officials.
Well done Freddie let’s stop this nonsense.
Thank you for defending the Western democracy!
Completely in awe of how eloquent and erudite Freddie was when replying to the Enquiry’s questions. It’s so reassuring to know that sane, informed adults are being asked hugely pertinent questions by other sane, enquiring adults! Faith in British intellect is slowing being restored.
Couldn't have said it better 😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Very slowly, perhaps, but yes. Agreed. Let British pride be next.
Barely a word in the wrong place. Quite an extraordinary talent!
Absolutely brilliant work, Freddie and UnHerd 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Excellent work by Freddie and the entire UnHerd team! I'm glad to see that your efforts have begun not only to manifest in a result for your own organization, but that you've struck a blow at the heart of a shadow tyranny.
From Canada, thank you. We need the same discussions here.
Canada is too far gone.
Hope this leads to a review in governments about who they give money to.
😂😂😂
Great work Freddy and the UnHerd crew. The kind of journalism we very much need.
You did a fab job at the hearing, explained everything beautifully. 🎉
He did as well as Jimmy Dore at the united nations. Smh.
You know you’re doing good work Freddie, when you see who comes after you. Bless you
The gov has NO role in regulating information, especially "false info"
I have to disagree here...we do need SOMEONE to fact check and control the flow of deliberate disinfo...the state does have the resources and should have at least 2 viewpoints, which is 1 more than most boardrooms.
We can't just leave this to private companies with specific agendas and financial targets.
Look at how many media are compromised by state interests and big money...AL Jazeera pretends to be a news network but is controlled by a dictatorship that still uses slave labour and oppresses women.
Many other networks have Directors and advertisers who are are compromised by dirty money and specific agendas.
This is an ongoing challenge and requires endless vigilance. There are no easy fixes...
Wow! Thanks for sharing this Freddy. I am impressed at how well you answered all their questions. Wouldn't it be nice if this filters back to the government and they do something about these shady organisations.
With British elites listening to Freddy, the country will stop criminalizing sensible ideas spoken and shared. This is a great development!
Thanks for that, Oliver Optimistic 😂😂😂🎉🎉😅😂😂
Wow are you ever gullible
Gonna take a lot more than that to get people out of the 'woke cult'.
All the organisations that acted upon GDI recommendations need to be ordered to remedy any actions the took based on the GDI pontifications.
Excellent work Freddie! You are doing us a service.
Thank you for VERY VERY much for your work!!! Following your work from Germany. VERY VERY IMPORTANT WORK!!
It's difficult to take these politicians serious when i just saw them basically cover their ears and eyes, yelling "I CAN'T HEAR YOU" while the esteemed Andrew Bridgen, alone, attempted to talk about the biggest scandal in modern history
Yes exactly.
The money given to GDI should clawed back as this organization obtained it under false pretences. If this isn’t done there isn’t anything to discourage other groups doing the same thing.
same with Stonewall, who even misrepresented the law.
Brilliant!🙌🙏 thank you!
Kudos to you! Well done!
Jolly good work here Unherd team. Thank you for standing up for truth.
😂😂😂It was an amazing piece of disinfo for the gullible sheep 🎉 Who haven't yet gone through the awakening 🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅
I am so happy for unheard
Well done, Unheard.
The road ahead is still long and undoubtedly winding but you are getting the message out there.
I appreciate Unherd
Why? 😂😂😂
Avoid mainstream media and social platforms and seek out information outside these sources!
Great work Freddie - showing that preparation, credibility and class pays off.
As of this time (5:59PM GMT 04-24-2024) Wikipedia says "The page "Global disinformation index" does not exist."
Someone should claim that page immediately.
The logs say the article was reverted to draft status on the basis that it wasn't good quality and didn't cite enough sources.
Totally brilliant Freddie, I wish I had a tenth of your awesome composure and absolute levelheadedness, and am increasingly grateful that you are ever more at the forefront of such important matters. Information coming from your mouth is a sharp weapon delivered in slow, seemingly gentile, but powerfully effective blows, and I foresee that with this spirit the beast will eventually fall! Asta la Vittoria Unheard and fellows!
This is an outrage. Tell as many people as you can.
This vid just dropped 3 min ago, are you a bot? There's no way you watched it all.
Another disinfo cretin
@@fknfreddy5625 Clearly you didn’t watch the video from 7 days ago, most of us UnHerd fans did. It took me less than a minute to be outraged (again).
@@malcolmtent I did watch it actually, did you not wonder how Freddy has access to parliamentarians? Freddy is not a legitimate journalist, he is cointelpro/agent, real journalists from alt media do not have that type of reach, period.
The problem is, if you try to share "these kind" of contents, you're punished by social media. I can't reach anyone anymore, and I shared only one post, questioning Covid data back in 2021, originally signed by 1000+ local doctors. Then boom. Since then my posts are almost fully invisible. Even if share a picture, a link of a song or if I try to ask preactical help. My only way to raise awareness is personal conversations. So far these are not monitored or censored. We'll see how long...
What shocked me is just how flagrant this was. Like I always suspected that fact-checkers had political biases. But I didn't expect anyone to just say the quiet part out loud. Giving slideshow presentations where they openly redefine "disinformation" to include true claims which go against their principles.
Well done guys. So happy to hear this.
Thank you for a clear, intelligent and sane talk
Thank you. This is a pressing topic that needs greater exposure
Keep it up Freddy!
Thank you Freddie for your excellent work!!!
Bravo, Freddie. Honestly, I am SO impressed.
I hope you're able to interview RFK Jr again while you're in the US Freddie!
His desk officer will sort it😂😂😂😂🎉🎉
Freddy you’re a legend. So articulate, you say what many of us know but can’t express. Well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, thank you, thank you Freddie. I’m heading over now to subscribe to UnHerd.
The things carrying out apparently deceitful and corrupt activities in the shadows tend not to cope well with having bright lights suddenly trained on them.
You're working well 😎
Thank you for saying and doing, what many of us can't 👍👍
Working well , agent sayers😂😂😂😂😂
Well done Freddy.
You are doing great work Freddie and Unherd, keep it up!
🎉🎉 great work on the disinfo front 😂😂😂😂
Excellent result for your hard work Freddie and team. Well done 🙂
Freddie - you are a champion 🏆 Great to see/hear that UnHerd is increasingly being heard! ... including here in Australia 🦘
I am so grateful for your clarity and eloquence Freddie. Thank you very much.
Well done UNHERD
Are we awake now🕊
I’m glad your story is having an impact
Very good work Freddie, as always!
Amazing 🎉 piece of 🎉 disinfo, like a double bluff 😂😂 only more pathetic 😂😂😂😂😂
Pat on the back from the lords, ladies 🎉🎉 and bishops 😂😂😂😂😂
An incredible success - well done Freddie and team!!
Which department are you 😂😂😂🎉🎉😂😮😂
I am so proud of what you have done regarding this issue. I have been subscribed for a while and I am always impressed with the topics you handle. I may not always agree with the discussions but appreciate the views. That is what we need, debate - you are entitled to have the ability to be funded by advertising. What has been revealed in your expose of GDI is so important - it has elevated my good opinion of your company. When a tech company decides who can be funded based on their own position on certain topics - that is disinformation. Propaganda. Behind you 100% - media serves the public, not police it.
Absolutely outrageous that an outfit like GDI has been active in skewing your ratings
Amazing work!
Great job!
Even more important when the ‘single message’ turns out to be SO WRONG ! ……..You can’t expect to come back from that surely ??
You are freakin' heroes! 🙏♥️This turned my shitty day and general bleek outlook into joy and hopeful sentiments ☺️
love the way u keep your composure, keep up the good fight
Freddie, I think this is your best video yet. Speaking truth to power.
I would vote for you. You are a supreme journalist!
This is such good work. Sad that it's necessary but I'm glad you're covering it.
Bravo.
❤ UnHerd Thank you!!
😂😂😂 🎉
Very good work
I am looking forward to updates on this issue and particularly interested in the tentacles reaching all the way to Australia and New Zealand.
You are such a beacon of hope and spark of inspiration Freddie. Your grace and eloquence in tough times is so inspiring. Future PM!
