info war and 5 G

2019 - 07 - 16

The ongoing and escalating info wars once again concerns 5G 

Recently a fake website published an article saying that Japan is abandoning 5G. *
To anyone who follows the 5G race it seemed strange. And when looking into it we found ...
1) the fake link leads to an error-site ... 2) nothing to contradict what has been stated for years: Japan is among the top ten 5G-countries in the world.
To anyone who follows the info war, this tactic has been used before - and this is likely a USA-connected actor who created the desinfo that looks russian (thereby making another attack on Russia in the info war ... and in the 5G race too). The presumed fake link looks like this real news link:  https://www.topnews.ru/ 
* Original article (error). + Archived version.

Japan is still in "the 5 G race":
Collaboration with Ericsson.   
+ Investments & actions in Japanese telecom, with major cellular carriers including NTT Docomo, KDDI and SoftBank Corp.
+ Investments in A.I.-cars . (June2019)
+ New big 5G-network . (June2019) 
+ Nothing 5G-new from japanese authorities in this period . Nor from IIJ (Japans key internet player), and they do not oppose 5G.

New York Times is pro 5 G and active in the 5 G info-war. This article (May 2019) is a good example, which was well analyzed and rightfully criticized by Global Research.

The Corbett Report addresses the info-war and also the hypocrisy of info-giants of the world (google, Microsoft etc) accusing Huawei of spying.

The power of the language: When hi-jacking words or changing values of them, people may be significantly influenced. Words like "smart", "ecosystem" and "disruptive" are examples of how the telecom industry uses that power.

Censorship is an important tool/weapon in info wars - and we see a clear increase in censoring (especially regarding 5G). Most examples come from Youtube (Google) and Facebook. 

Changing laws/regulations in favor of industry and/or military, could restrict public access to information ... which is a form of censorship. 

Finally, an info-war could happen within a movement/group (or even yourself) as well - if You are not handling info (or communicating) well.  Sharing desinformation is part of an info-war, especially if it is deliberate (by infiltrators/trolls etc). Here is an interesting example.
