The man who tricked Nazi Germany; lessons from the past on how to beat disinformation
The story of the British man who took on Hitler's information machine
offers valuable insights into the fight against the rise of
authoritarianism
Thirty percent of Americans claim, despite all evidence to the
contrary, that the last presidential elections were "rigged". Millions
are sure that the "deep state" is plotting to import immigrants to
vote against "real -Americans" in the future. Meanwhile in Russia, the
majority of people claim that the Kremlin is the innocent party in its
brutal invasion of Ukraine. When Ukrainians call their relatives in
Russia to tell them about the atrocities, all too often they hear
their own kin parrot the Kremlin's propaganda lines: the atrocities
are faked, or false flags, or necessary in order to impose Russia's
greatness.
