Does it not seem strange to people that if you search the terms disinformation and misinformation on Wikipedia you will not easily find any references to Marxism or Communism? The site has been mostly sanitized from the original source of the words. So Wikipedia is basically both misinformation and disinformation. Has anyone else made this observation? I had to go to Bing.Origin of the Term Disinformation
The term disinformation originated in the Soviet Union. It was first used in the 1930s when the Soviet government used it to describe its propaganda efforts. The word disinformation comes from the Russian words for “disinformation” and “misinformation”.
The Soviet Union was not the only country to use disinformation, however. The Nazis also used disinformation in their propaganda efforts. For example, they would spread rumors that the Allies were planning to invade Germany in order to cause panic and get people to support the war effort.
