The files went in this trail:
Anon -> Dr. Adrian Zenz -> BBC
Are you suggesting the US government faked the documents, passed them to Adrian Zenz, and told him to pass it to the BBC?
do you know what the cold war was?
Exactly. Fabricating intel on your enemies literally happened in the past, the US even unapologetically admitted as much.
Doesn't even need to go as far as the Cold War. The Iraq War was declared on false intel. Fabricated with the help of an ad company.
And let's not forget the CIA "I'm an escaped Uyghur, AMA" incident.
Which one was that? Rushan Abbas?
Yup, don't remember the name, but it was a CIA agent with ties to Guantanamo Bay pretending to be a Uyghur freshly escaped from a concentration camp. Redditors actually called her out on her bullshit, which is surprising given the state of Reddit today.
This one?
Probably. She got caught red handedly lmao 🤣
You won't find those kinds of comments on R*ddit nowadays
This would be funny if it wasn't sad...
Would hardly be unusual considering what the CIA and its offshoots have been doing for a very long time
