Stewart Stafford
“If misinformation is inaccurate information, and disinformation is deliberate falsehoods — what's a simple way to remember the difference? 'Mis' for mistake, 'D' for deliberate.' I came up with it and it works for me!

(Link to full anthology in profile website)”
― Stewart Stafford

“The concept of fourth-generation wars simply refers to the use of disinformation, funding subversive N.G.O.s, and spreading rumours as a method for warfare, broadening the concept of war to include non-military action. This endlessly elastic concept is a godsend for conspiracy theorists and provides endless justification for state repression.”

Chapter “Genesis”, page 33”
― Maged Mandour, Egypt under El-Sisi: A Nation on the Edge
