Bloomberg As A Pathological Liar

Illustrative Image

Written by Chuck Fall

Daniel Kahneman, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economic Science, in his book “Thinking, Fast and Slow” deeply examined the process of human decision-making. His research provided evidence that, by nature, people prefer to avoid using the brain resources to the full, solving problems in an automatic subconscious mode. Our mind starts digging into accumulated life experience in search of similar situations or familiar names in order not to think for a long time. This is a well-known truth for marketers around the world. It’s much easier to sell brand items than unknown items, even if they are of high quality.

Through over forty years of its existence Bloomberg News agency has turned into a major information services brand. Tens of millions of users, including bankers, traders, manufacturers, consume daily news reports and analytics with the Bloomberg logo. Billion-dollar decisions are made without any quality check. It’s a huge mistake.

During the last fifteen years, Bloomberg has gained the reputation of a disseminator of false information that has repeatedly led to stock market crashes, drop-down of assets, damaging the reputation of corporations in the investors’ eyes. These are facts to make up your own mind.

The story of deception

In 2008, Bloomberg published fake obituary about the untimely death of co-founder of Apple Steve Jobs, that provoked the fall in prices of technology company shares. Jobs lived for another 3 years after that.

In 2013, Bloomberg released news about regulator’s decision to reduce the interest rate from 5% to 1 %. It came out several minutes before the official statement of the Hungarian National Bank about the interest rate, that led to a sharp drop in the national currency exchange rate. But in fact the regulator reduced the interest rate to 4,75%. The news was fined $ 44,000.

In 2016, Bloomberg’s Paris office published a fake press release about financial violations by Vinci, a French construction company, that slashed its shares’ value by 18%. The results of the investigation in 2019 caused the French authorities to fine the agency 5 million dollars for spreading disinformation aimed at manipulating the market.

2021 was marked by a series of false publications.

Bloomberg reported Nintendo’s plans to release a more powerful 4k game console, that was far from reality. It forced the producer to officially protest the claim.

At the same time Bloomberg, along with Reuters, released news about intentions of Walmart, a US major retailer, to start dealing in cryptocurrency. As a  result the price of Litecoin soared by 37% and Walmart declared the information to be a fake.

The same year, according to Bloomberg, The People’s Bank of China (PBC) banned the digital currency, that caused the bitcoin rate to drop by $ 4, 000 (from $ 45, 000 to $ 41, 000 ). Later, the Chinese regulator said that journalists had only borrowed the PBC’s 2017 press release.

In 2021, Bloomberg published an article about Turkey importing a huge amount of plastic waste from Europe. And instead of being recycled the rubbish ended up in protected coastal areas. PAGEV, Turkish Plastic Industry Foundation, furiously criticized Bloomberg’s falsifications.

The splash headlines continued through the following year. In early February 2022 Bloomberg decide to get ahead of events publishing an article about the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Global stock markets were shattered in a thunderstorm. The military activities were to start in over two weeks’ time.

In 2023, Bloomberg was spreading false photo reports of an explosion at the Pentagon. In fact, the photos appeared to have been AI generated. The agency ignored the artificial nature of the images, spreading panic and fear in the USA, as well as on global stock exchanges.

Dangerous Liaisons

For a better understanding of Bloomberg numerous fakes we should have a closer look at Michael Bloomberg, the founder of the company. It’s common knowledge that a fish rots from the head down.

Being one of the biggest media moguls in the world Michael Bloomberg is an essential element of the political and financial elite in the USA. He has a huge number of influential connections in the corridors of power.

One of his most odious friends was notorious Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire and a philanthropist, who was arrested on charges of sex trafficking in 2019. Epstein, like Bloomberg, was a member of a high-profile social circle with friends in the White House, Congress, the CIA etc. The Clintons, the Rothschilds, the Trumps and other high-ranking members of US society were joining his dinner parties. Moreover, Epstein was involved with a network of Israel technological companies greatly dependent on Israeli military intelligence.

Among Bloomberg’s close friends was also Ghislaine Maxwell, a former socialite and a daughter of Israeli spy Robert Maxwell. In 2021, she was arrested by the FBI and sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking young girls for Jeffrey Epstein. She was obviously part of the US elite social circle as well.

Among Michael Bloomberg’s closer mates there are many other dubious but rich personalities like Les Wexner, Michael Steinhardt, Harvey Weinstein.

No doubt that Michael Bloomberg collaborated with some intelligence services. After the 9/11, being mayor of New York, Bloomberg actively supported CIA’s mass warrantless surveillance of Muslims in the USA. Moreover, he promoted the multi-billion dollar project to build a campus on Roosevelt Island in New York City for Cornell University and Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (closely linked to Israel military and industrial circles). Today this campus is the main partner of two Israeli cyber security centres in New York affiliated with Israeli intelligence services.

Mind manipulation

Just human error is unlikely to be blamed for Bloomberg fakes. This might be acceptable for small news agencies short of qualified staff and information sources. But when it comes to a global media empire with the management very closely tied to the top levels of power in the USA (and, apparently, in Israel) and the US and Israeli intelligence services, there are reasonable doubts that such mistakes are caused by pure accident. The false report of the explosion at the Pentagon and repeated fakes provoking global stock market crashes are good examples. These fakes are clear evidence of propaganda serving the purposes of a small group of Zionist-American plutocrat globalists, who control governments in Washington, London, Brussels. It is not the US President who makes all the decisions but the backstage layers keeping under control the world’s banking, technology and media. Subtle fake news bring about redirection of global financial flows, help gain profitable contracts, cause corporate and government collapses and warfare. The real power is there.

Transnational media corporations such as Bloomberg, Reuter, CNN, BBC, etc. are the main tools for spreading this influence all over the world. The public trust the information that finds way into their minds reading the news and enjoying a Starbucks latte. Can one escape believing such reputable news agencies?!

Let’s give it a thought. Witnessing global changes in world governing, can we really trust these agencies? As US and European elites try to control  geopolitical processes, are you prepared to rely on journalists with the damaged reputation? Is it possible to find important economic solutions having read Bloomberg publications about the Federal Reserve’s decision on the interest rate? Or another press release about financial violations of a company?

Ask yourself these questions next time you turn on Bloomberg channel, read Bloomberg online or launch Bloomberg app. Maybe it will make you search for other sources of information and look with a more critical eye at the fakes provided by the participants of numerous social events involved in dirty scandals. When US and European journalists serve shadow elites, it’s about time you seek the truth on your own.
