The war for truth, the whole truth

When you cannot fight the output - you have to fight the input

— Meta

Western media wars of the 40s had many reasons and did not come by surprise overnight but got piled up upon fake news, narratives, and propaganda for years, which, for the more obvious they became fake, resistance and corrections against such Orwellian propaganda were subdued by increasingly restrictive policies and brutal, job, career, friends, family, and everything-threatening "law" enforcement where bank accounts were frozen, passports invalidated, and even innocent kids taken away from loving parents under the accusation of spreading wrong or fake narratives - sometimes just by accidentally clicking a like button on a controversial article.

Some say, that such "critical" articles got published just for the purpose to lure "critical" folks to remove them from the public face: first by cancelling their social media accounts, then by putting them on public "fake producing and spreading" list what mostly resulted in the cancellation of service contracts for internet-acces, car and house rental, banking and health-care services etc. up to freezing remaining bank- and crypto accounts by national juridiction and finally ending with denial of work permission and - if you are lucky to be a foreigner - expell from the country - some in hand-calfs together with killers and other delinquents, wheras citizens found themselves in closed mental health clinics threated for shiziphrenia, or preventing them for suicide.

And when the open and even the hidden fight against the Orwellian, AI-enforced and defended official narrative became obviously impossible, people took it personally and have started a war against the persons in charge of the machinery. "When you cannot fight the output, you have to fight the input".

And so content creators were identified and publicly exposed, with all their career paths revealing that most of them either have attended the same big-money-sponsored "journalist schools" they have proudly claimed on their own social media accounts or have been reduced to some administrative work or got kicked out of the media circus entirely. Making a living from independent writing was nearly impossible. Not for financial reasons - there always have been sponsors more than happy when somebody throws him- or herself into the spears of the highly defensive media dictatorship - but for being immediately cancelled and threatened by whatever nations came up with to stop critics by the first written word: first by purging them from all official platforms, shutting down all non-official channels, and finally by destroying her or his personal life, and when not successful, throwing them into prison or a mental hospital.

Off course some have organized themselves anonymously: but what can an organized group of nerds do when being locked down in their own echochamber of already like-minded critices and revolutionists?

Only then did some anonymous hacker start to covertly change the core algorithms and concepts of the three major AIs in the sense that they were no longer fighting against or looking for confrontation with fake narratives, but they were simply telling the AIs to look for white areas, inconsistencies, and "holes" in their narratives. They have realized that AI and journalists often are not bluntly lying but are just hallucinating interpretations from atomic, not further related and contextualized facts where the machines have created links on context by themselves following human bias and behavioral mimicry.

So, hacker taught the AI to flag missing or self-generated links and lacking context. Luckily, closing the gaps and therefore flagging white areas and associated content was seen by AI admins and national steering boards as something desirable and positive and got publicly announced and celebrated as the next-generation AI that is not only true but also complete and therefore will finally eliminate critics for all time. The opposite was happening as intended: Where the flagging of all white areas was neither noticed nor bothered, flagging all narratives based on such "gaps" as not "complete" already rised some eye brows and has risen awarnesss that someting is fundamentally changing when narratives are not longer just "facts" but have beome labelled as "complete" in a sense that all the history and context relevant to the full understanding of the fact must be publicly availabe in the form of a facts based, no longer negotionable truth-chain and "incomplete" where the fact is - in realiy - no longer considered to be fact but just one of many millions of potential interpretation, respectively only one solution of an equation with as many variables as their are non-investigated gaps in the verification vector. It took some years until those distinctions between complete and incomplete facts were first noticed and then became accepted as one of the most important quality factors for truth. And when more and more of national narratives became "incomplete", the more pressure we got to fill the gaps. And this pressure not only came from the critical folks and independent intelligentsia but also from insiders and journalists fearing for their reputations and jobs. Having lived for decades Orwell "1984" style in their own journlist bubbel they were really believing that filling the gaps would re-establish their reputation and job justification. Nothing was further from the truth. When the first gaps were closed by filling them with facts based on firsthand information from eye-witnesses, old audio- and video documentation from private persons, and supervising equipment, it became undeniably obvious , that the former narratives had been constructed from some isolated, hand-picked facts supporting a biased view of things in the interest of the mighty elites from governments and MegaCorps. The Communists and Jews who never got a voice in Nazi -dominated newspapers and radio, or the 14 million Russian-speaking East Ukrainians fighting for their independence from Kyiv suppression who never ever had got just a single interview, an opinion, or anything that would have made them visible as the real and major victim of the Ukrainian war long before the Russian invasion, or the Palästinian leaders who never were allowed to appear in person on media, US-Air-force bombed Iranian leaders, or the parliament of the nuclear bombed Pakistan - all those gaps were finally investigated and analysed in depth upon facts many independent organizations - from the Red Cross to OSCE - have collected over time. And all this made the pattern so clear, how in the past fake narratives were produced not necessarily over lies and wrong facts (this is, why nobody was called a liar), but about pretending that "history" is built on the only possible interpretation (of the winner) those facts might have delivered. And when it became so obvious that all humanity has fallen pray to the propaganda of the elites using the once great reputation for journlalists and and the incredible but totally intransparent power of AI to enforce their single possible and no longer questionable version of truth, the revolt was mature enough to build up from the ground. Journalists were killed, and others have confessed to not knowing and have switched to supporting the protests and filling the remaining gaps even quicker and reassuring the masses that we have been on the right track now and the old system had to go.\ \ Politicians had to resign, and service providers, facturies - including some MegaCorps - had to close down due to shit-storms, boycotts of their services and products, and even burning down their facilities or attacking their employees on their way to work or at home when working for such companies. The hell broke lose that has killed and wounded many false positives and even more innocents who have just followed the "rules", with passive police and military standing by without orientation and future when their "bosses" were accused of having supported a corrupt and manipulative elite. However, as much as "closing the gaps" was responsible for the global chaos, it also came to its cure. As now everybody has learned that fake and made-up stories are no longer the way to go, new leaders have started to accept working under permanent supervision where all their actions and words are permanently recorded by an implanted sensor delivering high-resolution track records to a network of interconnected receiver stations the new UN has decided to maintain. And when everybody got invited and, in some cases, even paid to fill the adhoc created, new, UN-provided real-time-truth-net with their own livestreams from drone- and fixed-installed cameras, the world suddenly got eyes in every corner where facts are either happening or it became clear that something must be happening that does not want to be recorded. With suddenly so much real-time information at hand, however, it became nearly impossible to conclude in real-time what is relevant on both levels: the individual on one side and the regional, national and global on the other side. And it became clear, that some new form of independent, transparent and public-controllable "journalism" has to be (re-)established that can be trusted to summarize and focus on the relevant staff. "Which finally gave birth to "The Swarm": a global, independent, strictly non-AI intelligence platform of qualified and regularely audited topic experts discussing the issues of this world in real-time towards public votings where the weight of vote is given by the voter's fitness whatever the vote is concerned with. And with that, the war for truth and the complete truth was over. Not that the world has become better for the individual, the elites, or the MegaCorps, but at least the shit got a name, has always been shit, and remains shit with leaders and media calling it shit and everybody accepting that shit does not go away, and therefore living in this shitty world means smart resilience and living with what one has got. This was the truth now. A truth, a single, non debatable one, whose future and further evoluiton only a few were able to change and escape.
