The United Nations is fuelling a misinformation campaign disguised as a war on conspiracy theories, according to Conservative leadership candidate Leslyn Lewis.."The UN’s target is you, the citizen. The UN has put out a framework for people to assess and ultimately undermine the legitimate questions that people are asking of their governments by labelling these questions as 'conspiracy theories,'" she said in an email sent out to supporters..Lewis said the UN has an agenda to "control thought" by manipulating people into policing the thoughts of their neighbours. She said Canadians have seen the tactic used by the Liberal government to avoid "answering the uncomfortable questions that hold them accountable." She called this strategy "textbook gaslighting.".Lewis pointed out how, during the pandemic, news reports and speeches from around the world are delivered in the same ways and seem to use the same talking points, such as their repeated commitment to "Build Back Better." ."Yet, when people point out the obvious, that such similarities cannot be an accident, that there seems to be coordination — they are mocked as a conspiracy theorist. Why?".The reason why, according to Lewis, is global organizations such as the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, and the United Nations are coordinating to transform the world through ESG requirements for businesses, digital IDs and endless vaccinations..Lewis said UNESCO's new "Think Before Sharing" campaign, which was launched to stop disinformation and misinformation, is nothing more than a mechanism to deal with citizens' "dangerous" questions about the incoming world order..READ MORE: UNESCO launches 'think before sharing' campaign to stop conspiracy theories."What I find so offensive about the UN’s approach is it attempts to shut down debate and to regulate what people think and believe," Lewis said.."It’s the responsibility of governments and leaders to provide the facts, to answer questions and be accountable to the people. It is not the people’s responsibility to censor and shame their neighbours and to stop them from asking questions.".Lewis said those who care about freedom of thought and speech should recognize when they are being slowly silenced by intergovernmental organizations. She said Canadians must hold their elected officials to account, even when it means being labelled a "conspiracy theorist" or spreader of "dangerous misinformation."."A healthy democracy is built on open debate, freedom of thought and freedom of speech. We must fight to keep these freedoms strong in Canada. It is essential."
