🕵️♂️ Unraveling the JFK Files: A 60-Year Mystery Revisited
This week, we cracked open one of the most controversial and emotionally charged events in American history—the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Across five daily posts, we explored the life and motives of Lee Harvey Oswald, mapped the timeline of the assassination, and weighed the influence of two powerful forces often tied to conspiracy theories: the CIA and the Mafia.
We didn’t aim to settle the debate—we aimed to reveal the layers. Each post underscored how partial truths, withheld information, and speculation have blurred historical fact, feeding a culture of distrust that still resonates today. In doing so, we tied the JFK narrative to modern challenges in discerning fact from fiction in public discourse.
🤖 Misinformation Analyzer: Scoring the Truth, One Figure at a Time
On the tech front, this week marked a major leap in our fight against misinformation. We finalized and deployed a custom scoring system designed to evaluate public figures and media outlets based on how often they originate or spread false narratives.
Key milestones:
- ✅ Visual score gauge (0–250 scale) now live on the UI.
- ✅ Scoring now distinguishes clearly between originators (more culpable) and spreaders.
- ✅ Consistent output for dual-role actors—think of those who create and promote the same lie.
- ✅ Finalized categories: Intent, Narrative Control, Reach, Impact, Verifiability.
Notable Scores:
- Alex Jones: 232.5 – Top-tier disinformation actor
- Donald Trump: 220 – Persistent originator and amplifier
- AP News / Reuters: 55 & 49 – Highly reliable, low-spin journalism
We’re preparing this tool for public launch, with backend scoring now hosted via Azure and a frontend interface being polished for clarity and interaction.
📰 Project Launch: Daily News Truth Tracker
New this week: a feature we’ve dreamed about for months. Our AI now reviews the top 10 trending news stories in the U.S. each day and provides:
- A 3-paragraph summary of each story
- A Bias Evaluation
- A Fact-Check Status
- A Misinformation Score
This tool aims to cut through the noise and offer readers a crystal-clear view of how much spin or deception is baked into the headlines they consume.
We’re in the final phase of:
- Frontend integration for a clean, readable interface
- Static HTML feed for WordPress and Netlify publishing
- Custom tooltip system to explain why stories scored the way they did
🔮 Next Week: New Frontiers in Truth and Transparency
Here’s what’s coming up:
- Final polish on the news analyzer interface
- First public release of our misinformation scoring engine
- Possible new series: “Election Season Spin” – a look at how political messaging shifts in election years
