Then, through the juxtaposition of a current day perspective including the views of modern critical disinformation scholars, the field will be able to identify similarities within disinformation across time periods. My research project analyzes texts from scholars of the time, such as Norman Cohn’s Warrant for Genocide, in order to gain an adequate perspective from the time period. Decades old cases of disinformation, such as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and its origins, allow us to identify how disinformation has adapted to a rapidly changing social, political, and global landscape. However deeper research into the origins of older cases of disinformation provides the chance to break through the surface of how disinformation propagates, expands, and dies off, just as any other living thing. The rapidly emerging field of critical disinformation studies has typically analyzed case studies post-2016, a limited lens relative to the grand scope of the historical playing field.
