Fake news is rife throughout society at the moment, with information — censored, social media posts — shadow banned and search engine algorithms — manipulated. This is all a nefarious bid to distort public perception by the likes of Big Tech, Big Media and their Centralized Overlords.
“Now openly admitted, governments and militaries around the world employ armies of keyboard warriors to spread propaganda and disrupt their online opposition. Their goal? To shape public discourse around global events in a way favourable to their standing military and geopolitical objectives. Their method? The Weaponization of Social Media.” — The Corbett Report.
[Corbettreport | The Weaponization of Social Media]
The mainstream want you to believe that fake news is online everywhere and their official (bought and paid for) corporate media is the only source of ‘real’ news. They even point to ‘fact checking’ outlets likes snopes.com and wikipedia.org who parrot the exact same narratives, but in truth, these outlets are just another arm to the same beast.
[This is what mind control looks like]
Throwing A Po.et Into The Works
Po.et (POE) is a crypto project attacking the ‘freedom of press’ niche inside the blockchain sphere. Labeled by some as “An Economic Tool for Crowdsourcing Truth” Po.et’s groundbreaking ideas for time-stamping content and making blockchain news immutable, was very forward thinking when the project launch into ICO. However in the time since, Po.et has attracted elements from the traditional media space who might seek to implement controls (SEME) on a system that was initially bought-in to help the free flow of information.
The big business ‘revolving door’ scenario we’ve seen time and time again across corporate media, hit Po.et, Feb 13, 2018 when the team announced the hiring of their new CEO Jarrod Dicker. Jarrod’s background in the hierarchical structure of The Washington Post (VP of innovation and commercial strategy) sounds a blaring alarm bell to freedom lovers ablazed in the war to save alternative journalism. Anyone with their ear down in the media space will know, The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, who bought The Post with money contributed by the CIA.
The Washington Post has done a great deal to cover-up truth bombs on some of the biggest scandals in modern history from pedophilia rings inside Washington DC to political hit jobs on a Wikileaks Whistle-blower. Those who have done the smallest amount of digging (outside the mainstream) on these stories will know, the cover-up is real, and it leads to the highest rollers. Po.et having instituted ‘one of them’ from inside ‘The Post’, might as well be a death knell to Po.et’s original whitepaper.
A New Solution Forward?
The war on information is real, the trenches have been drawn, Some fighters in the blockchain scene, may have been compromised, but there are new contenders stepping up to the plate. APRES is joining to fight the good fight in the battle of freedom of information, let delve into the APRES offering.
What is Apres?
APRES in its most basic form is a blockchain based (decentralized) freedom of press platform, incorporating time-stamping, and immutibility to create an uncensorable open news network. APRES offers content consumers zero subscription fees while empowering content creators with a platform to publish, comment and earn without the bias and manipulation of centralization.
Putting governments, organizations, humanity and society in-check. We are determined to stand up for the truth, because we don’t beg, but fight to maintain freedom of speech, news and information access.
The quotes and value propositions presented in APRES Whitepaper are the exact cure needed in a world of diseased information.
APRES stands for Anonymous Press; such is the branding and logo, designed as to fight suppression by the elite, news suppression, truth suppression and the freedom of speech.
News With Anonymity
We now live in a world that is so Orwellian, anyone with a view alternative to the mainstream’s, is openly ostracized for simply expressing his /or her opinions on an open forum. This has created an epidemic of self-censorship among many of those intellects with opposing views to mainstreams contrived narrative. The culture of staying silent to avoid being humiliated has effectively stifled open and free form debate, consequently eroding any chance of positive reform. APRES understands this well and have built into their offering an option of complete anonymity. Giving users the ability to participate without the need to hand over identification and location.
APRES Team
The brains behind the APRES project are just as diverse in their skill sets as their working history. The team have knowledge in many industry niches from Real Estate Tech to Economics, Programming and Systems Engineering. They are also global and live in multiple locations throughout the world. With Joel living close to my end of the earth (Australia) and Nico living on the other side (Belgium).
A Savior From The Oligarchical Censorship
Google pulled 100’s of conservative youtube channels containing tens-of-thousands of videos during February and March of this year. What was their crime? Expressing a polar opposite point of view to the Progressive Google? While Google claims this was a system error, history shows us otherwise, with the search engine giant, hellbent on crippling alternative news channels with its massive demonetization campaign spanning well over 12 months. Censorship is reaching a all time high in a era where freedom of speech is being encroached on.
“Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or sanction”
In a bid to counter the current censorship, APRES will implement a “Forever on the blockchain” policy. Once a file is downloaded, it cannot be modified by the other party.
Distributed ledger technology known as blockchain, really is a game-changer in its ability to still function, even with a 99% node take-down, APRES will be no different.
APRES Roadmap
The APRES token sale (at the time of writing) is open and running. The team have devised a plan to get the project fully operation within a 12 month time frame, with a test prototype coming about last this year.
ICO Fund Allocations
A majority of the funding raised during the APRES token sale will be used for the development of the APRES platform. The team plan on allocating 15% for both marketing and business development with the remaining 20% kept as a safety blanket.
APRES Token
The APRES token (APRES) will be Ethereum ERC-20 complaint, issued at a total supply of 5 billion. 75% will be sold during the crowdsale with the remaining allocated to the development team.
In Conclusion
When it all boils down, ethics and its fight for freedom, justice and liberty, trump all other campaigns. A uninformed society, is a society walking blindly down dark paths. Its clear the APRES team are very much in the know to the problems we face in today's war on information. APRES are also in the perfect position to light a torch to the darkness of misinformation and lies. Join the fight for freedom of the press here: https://www.apresnet.com/
