Uncovering the TRUTH; How Disinformation Influences Elections, Scams and Your Life #41

Show Notes/Links

Peter is a retired CIA Spy mastered in the art of deception. Disinformation is a tool he utilized this for decades. Robert and Peter discuss the root of disinformation from Russia. When we look at the word “disinformation,” we find that it comes from a Russian word, dezinformatsiya. Joseph Stalin actually started using the word in 1923 within the KGB’s “Special Disinformation Office.” At the time, the word was defined as “false information with the intention to deceive public opinion.”
