Fact Or Falsehood? "I Found This On The Internet"

"Thou shalt not bear false witness."  The Bible

"Lies and mendacity... There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity. You can smell it. It smells like death."   Tennessee Williams "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.” attributed to Nazi minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels

“Falsehoods diffused significantly farther, faster, deeper, and more broadly than the truth in all categories of information, and the effects were more pronounced for false political news than for false news about terrorism, natural disasters, science, urban legends, or financial information.” analysis of Twitter in the journal Science.

Take a moment to see if you can pass this True-False test based on "alternative facts" one can find on the internet:

T F 1. Recent increases in severity of wildfires and severe weather events are just a normal part of natural cycles throughout history and have nothing to do with increased CO2 and methane in the atmosphere causing a global warming trend.

T F 2. The Holocaust as taught in our history books never really happened.

T F 3. Preserving slavery had nothing to do with the founding of the Confederacy, but it was all about defending states' rights.

T F 4. The destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11/01 was the work of a high level government conspiracy.

T F 5. Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates conspired to spread coronavirus infection in order to profit from the sale of vaccines.

T F 6. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a communist.

T F 7. Donald Trump personally colluded with Putin in his efforts to win the 2016 election.

T F 8. Joe Biden arranged to have his first wife killed in the fatal crash that took her life.

T F 9. Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, paid for dozens of buses to ferry demonstrators to Washington January 6.

T F 10. The January 6, 2021, mob in the state capitol were largely antifa supporters disguised as backers of President Trump.

T F 11. There were tractor trailer loads of completed, fraudulent ballots transported across state lines to be used if needed in order to ensure a win for Democrats in the 2020 presidential election.

T F 12. Donald Trump will be officially inaugurated president on March 4, the original (and the only correct) date set by the founders for this event.

T F 13. It was the failure of solar and wind turbine systems that caused all of the recent the power failures in Texas.

T F 14. The 2020 election was stolen,

T F 15. The earth is flat.

NOTE: Having to ask for an answer sheet for this "test" may be our first sign of having failed it.
