Anuj Chopra’s Opinion on the Recent Global IT Outage Misses Key Issues
In a recent opinion piece, on eNCA, Anuj Chopra, a self-proclaimed “disinformation correspondent” for AFP, attempts to undermine legitimate concerns about global cybersecurity threats by labelling them as mere conspiracy theories. His article, titled “Conspiracy Theories Take Off After Global IT Crash”, portrays these concerns as paranoia while neglecting substantial evidence and the track record of influential organizations like the World Economic Forum (WEF).
The WEF has been notably associated with the phrase “You will own nothing and be happy,” which originates from a 2016 video summarizing an essay by Danish politician Ida Auken. This statement has sparked significant debate about its potential impact on global governance and personal freedoms. More recently, the WEF released a video titled “A Cyber Attack with COVID-Like Characteristics”, highlighting concerns about potential large-scale disruptions to our digital infrastructure. Instead of addressing these serious issues, Chopra’s article seeks to deflect attention by branding such discussions as conspiracies.
Moreover, the WEF’s influence on global policies is well-documented through their “2030 Agenda”, which has successfully persuaded governments around the world to adopt various initiatives aligned with their vision for the future. This influence is not a product of conspiracy theories but is reflected in the WEF’s own publications and documented agreements with national leaders. Chopra’s failure to engage with this evidence effectively gaslights the public, dismissing valid criticisms as mere paranoia.
Why does Chopra choose to obfuscate the truth rather than offer a balanced view of the WEF’s activities and their implications? Could it be that mainstream media prefers to align with powerful global entities rather than fostering genuine public discourse? These are crucial questions as we navigate the complex landscape of modern information.
