Un message pour les décideurs du G-20 et la COP-26 : «La terre n’appartient pas à l’homme, l’homme appartient à la terre. L’homme n’a pas tissé la toile de la vie, il n’en est qu’un fil. Quoi qu’il fasse à la toile de la vie, il le fait à lui-même.» 

Barbara Crane Navarro

«Enseignez-vous à vos enfants ce que nous avons enseigné à nos enfants? Que la terre est notre mère ? Ce qui arrive à la terre arrive à tous les fils de la terre.

Nous le savons, la terre n’appartient pas à l’homme, l’homme appartient à la terre. Toutes choses sont liées comme le sang qui nous unit tous. L’homme n’a pas tissé la toile de la vie, il n’en est qu’un fil. Quoi qu’il fasse à la toile de la vie, il le fait à lui-même. »

A Beginner’s Guide to Social Media Verification – bellingcat

Verification doesn’t need to be difficult.  It also doesn’t require any complicated algorithms or access to advanced tools or programs that automatically detect whether an image may be fake or manipulated.

A critical mindset and a close look at the context of an image or post, allied with simple tools such as a Google search or reverse image platforms, are often all it takes to discover whether a piece of content is genuine.

As this guide looks at some of the first steps for uncovering misinformation and disinformation, it is not fully comprehensive. Other good guides can be found herehere and here. A list of further resources will be included at the bottom of this article.

More seasoned open source researchers may find advanced guides or articles more useful.

A selection of these can be found via the “Verification” tag on our website.

      Greetings, from Tuzanor:

    The  incidents of this report show us that foresight and planning matter just as much as courage, in any struggle.  Commander Ivanova shows her ability to plan, and to use guile when necessary, to deal with an inferior diplomat.  At the same time, Ambassador Delenn, no longer Satai, must use guile to aid in her plan to keep the Narn alive long enough to help your station fight another day.  The unfortunate Ambassador Mollari begins to learn that as he gains power, through guile, he loses his own foresight, and his friends.

The war, set off by The Ancient Enemy, between the Narn and Centauri, is going poorly for the …
