Never before has historical disinformation and misinformation been weaponized on such a scale as it is today. It is a part of the promotion of fake news that has been amplified by social media. The Philippines is one of the biggest consumers of disinformation.
One solution is to promote the use of critical thinking, asking the important question: "How do we know it is true."
By supporting this effort you will help empower people to make better, more thoughtful, more informed decisions affecting their future, democracy, and freedom.
Three Fool's Gold books address popular and lesser-known examples of fraud, fallacy and fable in Philippines history. A further book will address the Marcos revisions of Philippine history as a case study.
Written by Bob Couttie, a respected independent scholar who has contributed to peer-reviewed journals and reference works on Philippine history, Fool's Gold addresses the misinformation, and sometimes deliberate disinformation, found in history books and on social media.
