Who first commercially used the techniques of fake news? Erich Von Daniken. He wrote a book of fiction, and slyly worked in bible versus. The book was “Chariots of the Gods”. When Von Daniken was publicly called out for the falsehoods in his book he slyly responded. “You took my questions as statements.” Thus became the basis of easily spotted fake news. The question posed as a statement.

If you see a headline in the news with a ‘?’ at the end. It’s not a statement, but has been purposely put into the headline to trick you into beveling it’s a statement. It’s fake news.

If you’ve ever watched an episode of ‘Ancient Aliens’ or “Secrets of Oak Island’. You know what I’m talking about. What if? Could it be? All used as statements but they are actually questions.

It’s the staple of a con man and click bait. It’s also Q’s favorite deception. Count the question marks. Admit that you read them as statements, they are not.

The more you know.
