My own rules
1. INTUITION!!!! cannot be overstated
2. If you subscribe and then you inbox fills with all manner of filth for weeks on end immediately afterwards
3. If they go on an on about making you part with money, kinda like a MICROSOFT attitude
4. If the BBC NEWS 24 tell you its true.

Weigh up the cons and well as the pros: think things through from more than one angle. Look for debunk and rebunk arguments. And be comfotable with not holding a firm opinion if the evidence is inconclusive, rather than be carried away by imagination becuase an idea seems exciting
(Icke calls this "sticking it on the backburner")
With websites, especially campaign ones, look for very obvious things that you would do NOT being done: usually a dead giveaway

It's hard to explain. I think a lot of it has to do with what Icke said, that we are rediscovering the truth we already know. Some people say intuition, but I don't know if I have that. Above all, the more you read the more certain specifics stick, while the rest become self evident as disinformation. The farther you are in the quest for truth, the easier it is to spot disinfo. The ultimate truths, however, aren't intellectual. That's when you shut off your mind.

"Sticking it on the backburner." Haha, good one. :D Yeah, that's what you gotta do.

Intuition and I think about that after I saw it and then I can decide.
