I read articles and often some of the comments.

Normally I don’t read the very long comments.

Comments often include links.

Sometimes these links backup the comments.

Being informed is important when the information is factual and correct.

Some people rely on sources of information that are truthful and information is documented.

I am one of these people and also a member of Information Anonymous (IA).

Information comes in various forms such as propaganda.

Many people believe and rely on information sources that manipulate and control information.

These types of indivudiuals come in various flavors.

Those who are deceived through their own ignorance without their knowledge.

Those who willingly are ignorant of factual information.

Comparing these types of individuals to a person who touches a hot stove and gets burned but keeps doing the same thing is one example.

They are like an addict in that they won’t stop until they want to, no matter how many times they get burned.

These people need help from a organization called:

Information Anonymous or IA.

Information Anonymous is a group of people who were addicted to information from sources that manipulated them with false information and also people who were not addicted to false propaganda sources of information.

People in “Information Anonymous” meet and discuss infomation from sources that are factual and are documented.

Discussion is important to learn about the current topic.

Debate about the current topic is NOT allowed because it can cause confusion and in this setting will not be a useful learning tool in Information Anonoymous group meetings.

There isn't a requirment to believe everything you hear in an Information Anonoymous meeting because this would be akin to censorship of information.

Members of (IA) can share their stories about topics such as:

How they were shadow banned from social media, removed from social media, removed from the job etc because of their conservative views or truths they tried to make known.

(IA) members learn from comments by people who don’t want to live in the matrix of deception any longer and want to help others to break free from the habit of just believing anything and everything you hear or see without thinking about it.

Information comes in many forms.

A sales pitch.
A high pressure sales pitch.

Its buyer beware because its you who will benefit or loose because of how you DECERN the information.

There are a variety of formats for I.A. meetings and each meeting takes on the feel of their local area. At most meetings you will hear members talk about what false or deceptive information did to them and to those around them. Most also share what actions they took to stop believing everything they heard or saw without thinking it through and how they use research to verify information.

The purpose of all meetings is for I.A. members to “share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problems and help others to recover from Informationism.”

Meetings are typically listed as "open" or "closed" meetings.

Open meetings are available to anyone interested in Information Anonymous’s program of recovery from believing anything and everything you hear or see without decernment. People may attend open meetings as observers to gain insight into why Information Anonymous exists.
Closed meetings are for I.A. members only or for those who have a information problem and “have a desire to stop believing everything they see or hear without decernment!”

At both types of meetings, it may be requested that participants confine their discussion to matters pertaining to recovery from "Informationism".

Whether open or closed, I.A. group meetings are conducted by I.A. members who determine the format of their meetings.

I.A. meetings are held in-person. The members of each meeting decide when, where, and how often they will meet.

In-person meetings happen in a variety of places where an area can be used. Meetings occur in places such as:

Discussion.

Whether closed or open, an I.A. member serving as “leader” or “chair” opens the meeting using that group’s format, and selects a topic for discussion.

The topic for discussion must be from a confirmed reliable source that is truthful and factual.

Background for many topic meetings derives from I.A. literature, such as Information Anonymous Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions.

Speaker.

One or more members selected beforehand "share" — telling "what we were like, what happened, and what we are like now." Depending on the meeting's general guidelines (determined by the "group conscience"), some groups prefer that members who speak have a minimum period of continuous "Informationism" sobriety from believing everything you see and hear without any decernment. Speaker meetings often are open meetings.

Beginners.

Usually led by a group member who has been "Informationism" sober for at least 90 days, these are sessions to help newcomers. Beginners meetings may also follow a discussion format, or focus on Steps One, Two and Three.

Step, Tradition.

Because the Twelve Steps are the foundation of personal recovery in I.A., many groups devote one or more meetings a week to the study of each Step in rotation; some discuss two or three Steps at a time. These same formats may be applied to group meetings on the Twelve Traditions. Many groups make it a practice to read aloud pertinent material from the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions at the beginning of the meeting.

The chair usually opens the meeting with the I.A. Preamble and a few remarks. Some call for a moment of silence and/or recite the 12 Information Anonymous Steps. The chair will often ask if there are any people new to I.A. attending the meeting who would like to introduce themselves. It isn’t mandatory to identify yourself but it might be helpful if you are attending your first meeting.

A statement about anonymity in I.A. as a valuable privacy principle for new and longtime members might be read. Many meetings close with members joining in a moment of silence followed by a prayer, or perhaps by reciting the Responsibility Statement or other I.A. text.

After the Meeting.

People gather and talk, and there is a social air in the room once the meeting is over. Some may introduce themselves to you and offer their help or share their experiences getting Informationism sober. While many members find this time after the meeting valuable, it is up to you if you want to stay and socialize.

Preamble - Information Anonymous (IA)

“Information Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from Informationism via the Matrix Of Deception.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to be free of infomationism. There are no dues or fees for I.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.

I.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes.

Our primary purpose is to stay free from the matrix of deception and help other victims of informationism to achieve information sobriety.”

Anonymity Statement Of Information Anonymous (IA)

Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of our program, reminding us to place principles before personalities.

Therefore, WHO you see here must remain anonymous.

The individual stories of how they became free from the matrix of deception of informationism should NOT be repeated outside of Information Anonymous meetings so that the anonymity of individual members is preserved.

What you hear and learn here via discussion topics should be used to free others from the matrix of deception also called informationism.

Responsibility Statement

I am responsible…
When anyone, anywhere,
reaches out for help, I want
the hand of I.A. always to be there.
And for that: I am responsible.

A Declaration of Unity

This we owe to I.A.’s future:
To place our common welfare first;
To keep our fellowship united.
For on I.A. unity depend our not living in the matrix of deception of informationism.
And the lives of those to come.

The 12 Steps Of Information Anonymous (IA)

1. We admitted we were powerless over Informationism — that our lives had become unmanageable because of Informationism Addiction.

2. Came to believe that by the grace of God he could help restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God help us decern the truth.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory by our decernment and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to informationism victims, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

The 12 Traditions Of Information Anonymous (IA)

1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon I.A. unity.

2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority — a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.

3. The only requirement for I.A. membership is a desire to be free from the matrix of deception also called Informationism.

4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or I.A. as a whole.

5. Each group has but one primary purpose — to carry its message to the Informationism victims who still suffer.

6. An I.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the I.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

7. Every I.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.

8. Information Anonymous should remain forever non-professional.

9. I.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.

10. Information Anonymous has opinions on outside issues. These opinions must be decerned though prayerful research and not speculation by individual members.

11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.

12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
