Russian Disinformation

There are no bio-weapons in Ukraine

There is no good information, and I am not too sure there is a single American media source we can trust.
As we can see on the left - it is being used as a convenient scapegoat for inflation and gas prices.
Fox is using it as another tool to display how inept this administration is.
A week ago we saw stories abound about how Russia is stalled and the invasion is failing... and then... oh wait!.. they actually have the capitol city surrounded.
I don't know who to believe. Between the disinformation and propaganda, to how the American media uses it to push a narrative.

More Russian disinformation. As bizarre as it seems.

But I guess when you're losing, you'll try anything desperate.

A week ago we saw stories abound about how Russia is stalled and the invasion is failing... and then... oh wait!.. they actually have the capitol city surrounded.

Really? Is that true? Have they really surrounded the city? This from a group that has a traffic jam that makes LA look like the model of traffic efficiency?

The Russian objective was to have the country surrender in three days. Yet, they've done nothing except display their incredible incompetence in war strategy and tactics, and have resorted to bombing the civilian population in the third week of the war.

Oh, and there was a successful counter-attack from the Ukrainians in Chernihiv, breaking through that "circle" surrounding Kyiv.

There are no bio-weapons in Ukraine

There are no useful idiots. Idiots are always useless...

Russia is following the U.S.'s Iraq playbook. It doesn't matter if there are any biolabs anywhere as long as they can claim there are.

You spread the lies, and it confused a lot of people. So they don't know what to think, therefore you've already won.

They know most people are uninformed and unable to make a decent judgement for themselves. They treat people as stupid because most are.

Depends on who you are. For someone like Putin, Xi, Kim, Biden, Trump, Boris Johnson and on and on and on, the idiots are very, very useful. In "Democracies" they vote. Easy to manipulate and get their votes. In dictatorships they go earn money and don't threaten anything.

One of the more amazing about Putin’s War on Civilization is how badly the Russians are being pwnd by the Ukrainians in the information battle.

But that doesn’t mean the Russian disinformation campaigns aren’t trying.

First, the so-called Ukrainian bio-labs is a lie. It’s also being pushed by China.

Fact check: False claim of US biolabs in Ukraine tied to Russian disinformation campaign

The Security Service of Ukraine and the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine said the claim is false.

While it didn’t get much coverage, testimony in Congress verified there were biological labs in Ukraine. There is a video at the link below showing the testimony. ,

Senator Rubio Questions Undersecretary Nuland Over Biolabs in Ukraine
During her testimony in front of the Senate Foreign Relations committee about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland answers a question from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) about whether or not Ukraine has chemical or biological weapons. She replies, "Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned...Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of." She then refutes allegations from Russia that Ukrainians are plotting to use biological weapons, and says that if such an attack happens in Ukraine, "there is no doubt in my mind" it would be caused by Russian forces.

The weaponized Ukrainian bio labs is bullshit. It’s Russian propaganda originally picked up and pushed by QAnon accounts.

FTR I don’t believe “the right” is warming up to Putin. Rather, the pro-Putin ethno-nationalist conspiracy-spreading right, ie Steve Bannon, never cooled off on Putin.

Fortunately, most of the right isn’t this. Instead, most of the right is pro-American and sees Putin as the enemy to America and Western values.

The best conspiracy threads are already in the conspiracy forum.

71 Internet resources have been blocked in Latvia due to threats to national security.

The National Council for Electronic Media (NEPLP) has blocked 71 Internet resources due to a threat to national security. This was reported to LETA by the chairman of NEPLP Ivars Abolins.

He explained that the relevant Internet resources contain content that directly threatens national security and incites national discord.

"NEPLP does not see the possibility that in these circumstances such pages can be accessed on the territory of Latvia," Abolins said, adding that NEPLP continues to monitor Internet resources, which may lead to further decisions to block other Internet sites.

Abolins also noted that such a decision was made possible due to the amendments to the Law on Electronic Media adopted last week.

It has already been reported that on March 10, the Seimas in the final reading adopted amendments to the Law on Electronic Communications, which granted NEPLP the right to close Internet sites that spread disinformation and Kremlin propaganda.

We do, which is why it's so sad you people put folks like these in power:
