Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Newly declassified US Intel

Did this come from the same file where Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? I find it interesting how often US Intel is declassified randomly when it's super duper helpful to struggling Western interests, and then later once it's all blown over it turns out the Intel was wrong. Funny how that works. I'm sure this is definitely different this time

Remember all the western intel about Russiagate and the Biden laptop that all turned out to be complete lies?

Yeah but in this case it's not even intelligence. It would be incredibly stupid for any nation, let alone Russia, to unilaterally disarm in terms of spreading national propaganda. Obviously Russia wants people to spread pro-Russian messages. It's not some brilliant and devious Machiavellian plan, it's statecraft 101.
