Hello friends!
By now most of us are fully aware that we are surrounded by psychological operations everywhere we turn.
One of the most harmful is playing out constantly right here on social media.

How many “bombshell” posts have you seen—or even shared—lately that turned out to be complete nonsense?
It’s always something we care about: “Some supervillain has been arrested!” “The CDC finally admits vaccines are not safe or effective!” And on and on.
These posts aren’t just harmless pranks—they serve an agenda designed to discourage you from reading and sharing accurate information online.
They’re often well-written and full of detail, which makes them feel real. And because they seem important, we share them to help spread the word.
Then, within minutes, your post is flooded with comments like:
• “This is fake news!”
• “Do a little research before spreading lies!”
You know what I’m talking about.
It’s frustrating—but recognizing the pattern is the first step in protecting yourself and others from being manipulated.
Don’t let these deceptive tactics get to you. Now more than ever, the world needs super-spreaders of truth.
Here’s some helpful tips to avoid sharing misinformation:
Most of these fake posts appear to be written by AI. One common clue is the use of emojis at the beginning of headlines.
You might see a cool little UFO emoji at the head of a breaking report that claims:
🛸 NASA scientist blows whistle: Earth will be invaded by an extraterrestrial life form in 2025!
While emojis alone don’t guarantee misinformation, it’s a good reason to dig a little deeper.
Ok. Now let me Maha this clear:
AI can NOT be fully trusted, but it can serve as a tool for basic fact checking.
Before sharing any news online, try this:
1. Copy the headline and the first paragraph.
2. Paste it into both ChatGPT and Grok.
3. At the head of your paste, type: “Is this true?:”
If both systems validate the content, odds are the post is good to share.
I’ve personally used this method thousands of times and to date AI has only given me accurate feedback.
That said, AI programming can change day to day.
Nothing beats doing real research prior to spreading information online.
Hope this helps.
PLEASE SHARE IF YOU CARE!
