It also seems to contextualize the recent bewildering exchange I had with someone where I randomly drifted in from absence to engage them without having taken full stock of their overall return to old habits.
Beyond that, it makes me try to imagine how "man in the middle attacks" might present themselves in real life to have such subversion playing out among our leadership or people.
Also honestly this lesson is one that is useful for all Somalis and really all individuals in life.
Whenever you hear any new information concerning Human Relations, default initial response should be F.A.L.S.E.
This doesn't mean the case is over, keep moving.
It literally means the onus is on you to confirm the information.
Or in other words, >>>BY HABIT, MENTALITY, WORLDVIEW.. you must condition yourself to research every single piece of human centered new information.
It should be automatic, machinical, hard wired, even auto pilot... to go from "received information" to "research."
It is irrelevant whether you can ever prove or disprove it but your 100% habitual reaction MUST BE PREDICTABLE. AND IT MUST BE YOUR LACK OR BELIEF IN THE INFORMATION FOLLOWED BY YOUR INITIATION OF FACT CHECK.
I go further honestly and after long practice (at first conciously forcing myself), it is second nature.
I not only believe the information is false as as a default response, but I subscribe LACK OF GOODWILL/BAD MOTIVE to the information carrier.
The challenge to disprove them has worked wonders in going beyond the cursory to really become invested in digging substantively in fact check rather than superficially.
Finally; some of the topics that caused this attempt to get us to notice vulnerabiliyies to misinformation;

The MP seats are apportioned 4.5.
Marehan had the same seats before Galmudug in the same division.
You will see Sahal say something like Marehan Galmudug got 4 Mps and Habar Gidir 11 of the Galmudug seats with the implication MP seats were awarded to Galmudug and that is how it was divided.
No. Marehan Mudug got the same 4 MPs of the overall Marehan seats of 15 awarded to them by Marehan in how Marehan has been sharing their 4.5 apportioned seats.
Habar Gidir shared theor 4.5 apportioned seats in one place like before because they all have the same deegaa.
Galmudug just happens to correlate, it has 0 causation effect.
- Similarly, SHEEKHAAL HAS THE SAME 4.5 APPORTIONED SEATS WHETHER THEY DO THEIR VOTE IN Saint Petersburg or whether they do it in St Helana.
If they have their vote im Baardheere, that just means a political attack to Madoobe Kismaayo admin as neither free nor secure. Baardheere as the second biggest town in Jubbaland is a choice Sheekhaal has made to come down politically on the side of the Gedo anti-Madoobe resistence.
There are no seats awarded to Baardheere or Galmudug or any territory up for competition. Seats are CLOSED AND APPORTIONED BY CLAN. NO Marehan competes in Sheekhaal seats and neither anyone but Marehan for Marehan seats.

Pretend you have 4 children.
No child is an angel and they are all quite a headache.
But one is jealous, vindictive, and cuqdadlow. He comes slithering to sit next to you and as if he is smarter than you starts pointing fingers at siblings.."that one is vindictive, that one is masayroow, that one i cuqdadloow" etc
At first it is cute but after sometime, you want to take the child's finger and point it back on them.
From the day Ciis and Waayeel sat on their seats, there is a shameless UNUKAALEH xin and shaqo shaydaameed shamelessly masquerading itself with the blissful ignorance of that above child.
It is sad when the joke is ON YOU and you don't realize.
- Also, even the frigging US Centcom knows the con of "clan gave their weapons up" which arose in one of the topics on the trajectory of the subversive misinformation. They frigging exchange a photo op, open fanta, qnd crack some pics. No clan gives up weapons and Balanbale in particular seems to have made a name for itself facilitating the con to fill Marehan quota in Galgaduud whenever any of paying regional admin was forking over a LIL for a PIC.
As for the weird virulently resentful tone against Wagardhac, frankly xataa Oliven waa laga xisho la'yahay.
