The CIA literally ran a fake vaccine program to catch Bin Laden. The vaccine hesitancy is coming from inside the house!

Yeah, I don't judge any member of a minority that doesn't trust a US run medical progam anymore as their concerns are valid based on facts.

This is so huge. And I'll be shocked if this makes it to the nightly / cable news outlets. We have more important things to worry about; like if someone lied about doing drugs in order to get a gun.

America is an incredibly evil country that has done considerable harm to the world in its brief existence.

And they used US corporate social media platforms to do it. Of course they fucking did.

All the “Russian bots & trolls” bullshit was projection of the skulduggery the US is up to around the world all the time.

And now they’re accusing China of doing similar via TikTok, which is more of the same projection & lies.

Wall Street Journal: Mueller Doesn’t Find Trump Campaign Conspired With Russia

That was Bill Barr's summary of the Mueller Report. The news article you posted was written with zero knowledge of the actual report. When the actual report was released later, the summary was criticized as trying to form a false narrative that intentionally omitted important pieces of the report. He was spinning it to provide cover for his boss, in effect. Much of this rested on Mueller not declaring Trump guilty of a crime, but as was described in the report, this was always considered to be outside of the scope of Mueller's appointment.

We should let China enslave us all instead of fighting dirty.

I'm eager to hear about the anti-vax campaign the pentagon pushed in their own country.

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

so shall we assume that convicted felon drumpf was, at the very least, informed of this operation between truckoads of "hamburders"?

shall we also asume that anti-vaxers everywhere will eschew their murderous complicity in what was clearly "gubbermunt propaganda to control our freedumbs"?

The U.S. military is prohibited from targeting Americans with propaganda, and Reuters found no evidence the Pentagon’s influence operation did so.

yeah, and I have some beachfront property in Florida to sell you. quick sale required.

fscking hell, man.

It's worth looking at the timeline here. The Trump Administration had no problem doing something that was obviously immoral. It got canceled by the Biden Administration and an investigation started. Just noting the timeline because I still see people saying there's no difference between the two politicians.

I have yet to see someone say there is no difference. I see plenty of people who rightfully say both are shit.
