Despite its widespread adoption, the word used to describe the genocide is unknown to many, which is why the ultimate goal of the campaign is to have the word "Holodomor" (derived from Ukrainian words meaning "to inflict death by hunger") added to English-language dictionaries, as it was to Ukrainian dictionaries after the break-up of the Soviet Union.

Visitors to the "Deeptruth" website (deeptruth.ca) will be invited to sign an online petition to have Holodomor included in future editions of the Oxford and Merriam-Webster dictionaries, as well as Dictionary.com.

"Canada, the United States, Ukraine and 14 other countries recognize the Holodomor as an act of genocide and honour the victims in an annual day of remembrance on the fourth Saturday in November," said Bob Onyschuk, Chair of Holodomor National Awareness Tour. "Yet, most people are still largely unaware of the basic facts of one of the greatest crimes of the 20th Century. Having Holodomor added to the dictionary is more than symbolic; it's an important recognition of this Deep Truth."

The campaign features a 75-second video produced by Toronto-based ad agency Mixtape (MXTP.ca) in collaboration with Paul "The Fakening" Shales (fakening.com), a world-leading pioneer of deepfake technology whose vignettes involving politicians, business leaders and entertainers regularly go viral.

With access to rare colour film footage of Stalin, Shales used Artificial Intelligence to map the Soviet dictator's features onto the face of a modern-day actor and bring Stalin back to life. In the video, Stalin declares himself the true originator of "fake news" for having covered up the magnitude of the 1932-33 famine in Ukraine and concealed from the world the engineered murder of millions of innocent men, women and children.

Turning Fake News on its Head: Stalin Lives Again to Reveal Deep Truth - Canada NewsWire

Recently I stopped buying the other local paper in our area because it hadbecomeconsumed withpropaganda, losingperspective. That paper has become a full-time publication attacking one particular political party. Itsgoal is to completely destroy that party and all those who identify with itsviewpoint.

I knew that most of the major news organizations havebeen trained to destroy a certain point of view and make it look like their's was the only way and the other views are not acceptable. Their main effort is to steer public opinion their way, without the public realizing what is happening.

And now it quiteobvious to me that The Day has joined the chorus,as their writers are also playing the same tune. It is a shame that we no longer can trust our newspapers to report the news, as they now are creating the news their way. They are using fake polls thatpoll mostly people of one particular party. So,of course you do not get a true picture. Andthey also slant political cartoons.

America is now being betrayed by our news organizations and the big question is, will the American public wake up in time?

Greenberg Glusker and Farrer & Co are delighted to present a joint webinar during which reputation management and media specialists from both firms will discuss:

On both sides of the Atlantic, the role of social media and search engines has been dominating the news agenda.

The debate over the extent to which Big Tech should be policing content on its platforms is one that has been bubbling for some time, but has recently exploded into the open with Donald Trumps decision to sign an executive order aimed at removing protections for social media platforms and the UK governments plans to introduce legislation to address Online Harms.

Set alongside that is the decision of a number of multinational corporations to cease advertising on Facebook and other platforms in protest at the perceived failure to do enough to remove racist, hateful and knowingly false content.

All this takes place in the context of a global pandemic (where conspiracy theories have abounded), the Black Lives Matter movement and, of course, a forthcoming Presidential election in the United States.
