When someone overloads people with information to make it seem like they know what they are talking about. It also makes it so there is no time to ask questions about the information given.

Connection

The above video links to the red flag proof by verbosity because Donald Trump in this speech rambles on about Covid-19. He overloads the public with misinformation about the United States response to the pandemic and had it not been recorded it would be near impossible to catch everything he mentioned. Despite the fact that he states almost no true facts in his speech, he creates the façade of knowledge with the amount of things he brings up. However, if you apply critical thinking to what he says in his speech you realize he is spouting misinformation.

Red Flag 2 - Suppressed by Authorities  

# data[].attributes.body
Definition

This red flag is when people believe that large authorities (government, large companies) are trying to suppress information so they gain some kind of benefit.

Connection

This article looks into whether or not Big-Pharma and the Government have been hiding the cure for cancer all this time. This is an example of the red flag Suppression by Authorities as this article is trying to prove that there is laws in place to prevent anyone from sharing any proof of any way to cure cancer other than chemo.

Spoiler alert!!! - SNOPES IS possibly A DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN
(there are many of these, in fact the majority of news possibly is one at the core)
Q: Does the 1939 Cancer Act make it almost impossible to suggest Cancer can be cured by any means other than Chemo?
According to this newspaper clipping it can be! So lets take a further look into what happened ...

This is one of the newspaper articles that "sparked" the development of a law that would forever change natural health
YES this ACT absolutely and unarguably makes it VERY RISKY for anyone in ANY position of authority to TELL the public in ANY WAY, SHAPE or FORM (including a whisper) that curing cancer is possible by any means other than Chemotherapy! Which is simply, THE suggested and funded method of treatment. Here are some sources on the internet today writing about this ACT.
This is Not A CONSPIRACY - simply the presented facts and meaning of the ACT as written, anyone telling you otherwise is clearly lying.

This ACT in Common Law may actually be highly unlawful as it quite possibly has affected millions of peoples lives indirectly and directly with potential harm.

That is the most basic and simple fact of the LONG and BORING and CONVOLUTED writings behind the Cancer act of 1939! That not many would want to read or be able to read because of the effort it takes to understand the full and complete IMPLICATIONS of that piece of legislation.

Note: the alleged claim is 100% shady and quite SPECIFICALLY AVOIDS the REAL question. Therefore, this is not the claim. The claim is far more complex! The Cancer act of 1939 makes it illegal for a person in any capacity of health authority to be able to advertise AND OR talk about or even suggest that it is possible to cure cancer by any means aside from the sponsored chemo of course. Curing cancer, is of course quite a different topic, than talking about it or suggesting it's possible.

Several bodies who have written about the same legislation are here and you can compare them all face to face.

This next clip points to the ways that FAKE news could be created for war crimes to be publicized on TV via BBC and other corporations around the world. This gives you perhaps a level of the power the Matrix has to create the narrative they want you to understand simply by staging the media, what Trump calls " Fake News ".

Also in this clip they show a letter from the owners of a company who were involved in a 100% Cancer Cure* @ 39 minutes - yes that's right - (cure* meaning the return to full health, *this should not be misunderstood as the ability to cure any (fictitious) disease that may have been created and may be owned by pharmaceutical companies, this would not only might be impossible but may be illegal and possibly dangerous for anyone to report.)

Here is another report on this rather unfortunate companies mistake of attempting to cure cancer.

https://www.europereloaded.com/gcmaf-the-genie-is-well-and-truly-out-of-the-bottle/#comment-58592
Lets quickly outline how easy this is:
1. Fill the public with known toxins studied for their toxic effects in secret - Aluminum and Barium stratospheric injections under the guise of weather modification to ease climate change / Heavily Increasing Vaccine (black magic and toxin cocktail) schedule for young vulnerable already overloaded immune systems / Food with sugar and salt combined for enhancing flavour and by chance enhancing disease (everything synthetic of fake is not understood by the body and becomes like an inorganic plastic hard to break down)
As the auspicious observer might conclude, ALL Diseases seem to be a sca* and do really not exist, seemingly only inflammation exists and is perhaps given different names depending on possible location or systems / organs affected.

If this were true however then all a business would need to do is create a new disease, wait for doctors to diagnose said disease and then offer a solution funded in part by the people that created said disease.

Now most business uses the same method of operation - 1. create (either with reporting or with actual physical creation) a PROBLEM - then wait for - 2. A REACTION - then 3. provide a - SOLUTION.

2. Wait for a reaction from the public - many symptoms complained about by families who don't realize the popular choices and standards they are surround by

3. Call said set of symptoms a name and patent / copyright that name effectively by placing laws and legislation and acts into place that the majority of the public doesn't understand

4.. Conduct and fund research into drugs aimed at curing their made up disease and use the owned media to pump out advertising that insinuates or alludes to a cure but doesn't directly claim a "cure". (only a fool would say he can cure anything because cures do not exist only steps taken toward health exist - but strangely we don't have a word for that - revitalizing - re-harmonizing - regenerating I believe are better words that mean "to cure")

So lets start by remembering that health implies a cure since health means you aren't sick! And this is really the only method or moving from a state of dis'ease into a state of ease and one without the inflammation commonly referred to as cancer!

That for me is a small step on the road to health and enough if people understood this small yet huge fact! Let the Matrix dissolve ...

Just because two variables appear to be linked does not mean one causes the other.

Connection

The article demonstrates the correlation not causation red flag because the American Psychological Association (APA), is linking violent video games to increased violence in people. And while the research done should not be discarded critical thinking should be applied. There is much more violence in media than just video games and the links presented are not that strong or are out of date. Additionally, other sources disagree with this viewpoint.

People look for patterns everywhere. They will find patterns in places where they do not exist.

Connection

This picture demonstrates the patternicity reason for belief. The image depicts a ceiling light reflected in a window. However, to some it may look like a UFO descending from the sky. People may use an image like this as proof that UFOs exists, but if you were to apply critical thinking you would realize that this image does not depict a UFO.

When something cannot be explained, people come up with an explanation for it.

Connection

The picture of Zodiac signs above showcases the unexplained reason for belief, as zodiac signs and astrology are a way for people to explain their personality traits, emotions, and even predict their future through horoscopes. Yet, zodiac signs are not scientifically proven and thus skepticism must be applied. People believe in them as they do not have another explanation for why they act the way they do.

Video games cause people to be more violent

Gather Information

https://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2003/10/anderson
This source uses the red flag correlation does not equal causation. Additionally, many of their sources are out of date.
https://dana.org/article/do-violent-video-games-lead-to-violence/
This source points out that the likely candidate for increased violence in youth is ethnic hatred, lax gun control and stressful environments.

Evaluate Evidence

Both sources are credible sources. However when critical thinking is applied there are red flags in the apa article with correlation being one of the main points linking video games to violence. These are not results that can be reproduced, as they need to come about naturally.

Recognize Bias

There are many biases to consider when trying to link video games and violence from both sides of the argument.
People who enjoy playing video games would firmly be on the side of saying video games in no way cause violence and that there is no need to censor them.
People who dislike video games and wish to censor them would be firm on the side that video games cause an increase in violence.
It also needs to be considered that blaming video games for violence is an easy cope out to dealing with larger underlying issues in society.

Synthesize Evidence, Identify Alternatives

From the research we drew some conclusions:
Video games don't cause violence
Video games do cause violence

Best Alternative

The best solution is that video games do not cause violence. If people want to be violent they will.

Reason for Belief 3 - Emotional Connections

Definition

Emotional connection is when people let emotions get in the way of rational thought, which leads to believing falsities.

Connection

This article demonstrates an example of emotional connection clouding someone's judgment. It is a scam that tricks people into sending money to a scammer by pretending to be a loved one that is in danger. Due to the belief that loved ones desperately need money people send money biased of emotion rather than thinking through if this is a real situation.
