Usually, I read PI daily and accordingly only just skim the Weekly Update. However, this week I have been relocating and haven't had my office set up. So, thank you PI for providing this excellent Weekly Update for me to catch up!

As always, an incredible compilation of information most other media sources prefer to skip past.

I think the lessons on tracking funding will be essential, and one question I’d like answered is how to find out who’s really behind an ad or ad campaign. The information war is going to be critical to whether the USA can survive, so we need to be able to identify who’s speaking and let voters know this isn’t some detached voice of authority, as is believed by so many, but a corporation trying to make you believe something,

When we know that it big oil companies paying for anti-renewables messages, we’re more likely to believe there’s some lying going on. Unfortunately, the ads are usually published by a numbered PAC or shell company. How do we find out who’s behind the disguise?

The next step, getting what we found out into the awareness of the wide population, is a whole different question
