Our First Editorial Fake News and Us By The Incredulous Croc

Fake News is unfortunately not new news, in fact it is now a very prominent matter in political affairs but this insidious mechanism for distorting true facts is everywhere on the internet and simply on all the Media. When you see on YouTube, titles like hidden pictures from NASA about a civilization on Mars, it is also Fake News and taking in account the sacrosanct amount of views that these things accumulate, one would hope that the people who watch these videos to get amused or check on the latest work of a whizz kid of numeric picture adulteration understand the item is not real. However this hope unfortunately vanishes when you check the comment pages, the amount of belief in stupidities is endemic. Fake news is a cauldron of views, shares and likes for their perpetrators. It works and why it works is also very simple, stupid and natural. In the useless news these days, the supposed meddling in The United States Elections by the Federation of Russia, the Croc has been showing very little interest in the matter.

Did Russia do it? The Croc has to be honest, there is a fair chance that it could be the truth, not that the Croc received astonishing info on the subject (If that was the case, it is the kind of nonsense that we do not publish by respect for electronic ink and prefer throwing the supposed big news to the hyenas and watch how pathetically and how shamelessly they enjoy themselves in the process of diminishing another human being). The Incredulous Croc invites the reader to perform a simple arithmetic; here is the president of Russia, a Man whose allegiance theoretically goes first and foremost to the people and interests of his nation. This same man who has seen his motherland fail one time with dissolution finds himself having the perspective of an adversary who has always been a virulent critic and having one adversary who has meddled directly in Russia's interests with the role that the United States took by openly supporting a revolution against a legitimately elected government in Ukraine. The President of Russia was contemplating wrestling his giant nation state from poisoning sanctions formulated by a woman who has compared him to Hitler, an insult that Hilary Clinton must have known is one of the worst you can say to the leader of a country which has paid such a terrible price to the evils of Nazism. What do you think he would have done if he could do it and get away with it? Before you jump and formulate an answer which would certainly run like "of course he will have done it", let's be a little bit more honest with the formulation, if the President of Russia had the chance to do it he would have done exactly what you, me and the dude next door would have done. And to push the terrible logic, the Croc even says that it is excellent for the United States, this pre adolescent country in the face of the enormity of history to get a legendary clap on the bum and swallow a touch of their own medicine so that they know how it feels when it happens to them. What is interesting however is why it is so easy to convince people? First of all both parties will produce different experts (apparently dignified ones) whose main aim is to confuse your conclusion and judgment. Let's take for example the taking down of MH17 in the sky over the battle fields of Ukraine. This horrible tragedy has been commented on and on forever. The Croc was as incredulous as he is today in face of those events. Any observer with one working brain cell should ask himself one main question. Why was the sky over Ukraine open to civilian traffic in a zone which has been reported to be dangerous? There is no answer to this question, the closest that our team could find was the fact that Kiev and the Western powers thought that the cruising altitude was a safe one…Repeat that, they "Thought that". How can you be so incompetent to think like that? The Croc will be brutal in his analysis. The tragedy was a horrible one and nothing can be added to attenuate the pain of those who lost a dear one, but these things happen in war and each of us should face his responsibilities in the event of such occurrences. Again, in that case there are only two possibilities, first that this plane had been shot down by mistake by the rebels and secondly, another mistake could explain that the Kiev Air Force mistakenly identified the civilian traffic as a hostile one. In both cases in an ideal world, the party concerned, knowing his guilt, should advance to the front and apologize because however terrible it was, it was still a mistake done by people in extremely stressful conditions. But it is not an ideal world. Some people even nowadays think that the people of Crimea have been forced to join Russia as they were made to make their choices at gun point.???? Really? Have you heard of the massive exodus of the population of Crimea to Ukraine? Are the airports of Crimea closed? Is the Russian Army containing this population of Crimea inside the borders? This information you received, is it from the people and newspapers of Crimea? Dissidents? So on what is this information still used over and over based upon? The Croc has of course other examples to produce and if he has used these situations, it is simply because those ones are well known, are still remembered by the mass despite the Goldfish memory syndrome and certainly are not in defense of the Russian Federation. Understand once and foremost, the brain is a lazy organ, meaning when facing a choice, it will always choose the simplest explanation, the one that burns the less energy to compute. So for us it will be always more easy to accept anything rather than doing the research by ourselves. We quote sources without verifying them, deeming it is the job of others to do it for us. The manipulators are well aware of this propensity of the population to forget things they would have passionately embraced for a few moments. At the initiative of the then French president Jacques Chirac, millions of people took out the streets against the Second Gulf War but then everything was forgotten. They have added even more wars and more perfidious pretexts for those wars. In each edition, The Incredulous Croc will offer you the latest juicy fake around and he will process, dissect this information from each side and will tell you with the necessary references where to look, for you to have a glimpse of the truth. We hope to see you around and will happily answer to your comments or perhaps even publish them. Once again, read more than one article on the same subject before taking any decision and do not defend this decision against hard facts if they come to be. Take the time to question yourself and admit that you could have been wrong all along. It hurts the ego but there is a price to everything.
