Thousands gathered in Trafalgar Square today to protest against Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the government, lockdowns, masks, social distancing guidelines, "forced" vaccines, 5G, trafficking and "new world order". David Icke and Piers Corbyn delivered the keynote speeches ImageImageImageImage
Things got a bit tense at the end of the rally after @MetPoliceEvents said the crowd had "not complied with the conditions of their risk assessment" and attempted to disperse them. At least three protesters and one officer were treated by medical staff, after clashes with police ImageImageImage
Some of the placards and signs:

"Hands off our children"
"A hug a day keeps the Covid away"
"Don't blockchain our babies"
"Did anyone see a pandemic"
"Arrest Bill Gates for crimes against humanity"
"No to mandatory vaccinations"
"Wizardz vs lizardz"
"Covid-1984"
"We are the 99%" ImageImageImageImage

While Elon Musk recommends sending around X posts so people can "learn the truth", here's a thread of viral misinformation on X about Hurricane Milton.

Alex Jones baselessly claims hurricanes Milton and Helene were deliberately started by the US government as "weather weapons". Image
Image
This post by one of X's most prominent conspiracy theorists, viewed 4.8 million times, suggests without any evidence that Hurricane Milton is a result of geo-engineering. Image
Conspiracy theorist Stew Peters claims Hurricane Milton was pre-planned to directly hit Tampa Bay, in a post viewed 4 million times.

Obviously, Hurricane Milton is not pre-planned. No-one can plan to create hurricanes. Image

A Russia-based disinformation network run by a former Florida cop has published a new fabricated story on a fake news website called "Seattle Tribune".

It baselessly claims Ukrainain President Zelensky has secretly purchased a Mercedes 770 used by Hitler. It's nonsense. Image
Image
The story refers to this doctored picture of a Mercedes 770 near the presidential office in Kyiv, posted on Telegram.

But that Telegram channel has never posted the pic, and the Mercedes in it has been lifted from the image on the right. Note the same reflections on both cars. Image

As is often the case with the network of fake news websites posing as local news outlets run by Moscow-based John Mark Dougan, the "Seattle Tribune" website was set up only five days ago, specifically to post this fake story.

There's no record of such a news outlet in Seattle. https://whois.domaintools.com/seattle-tribune.com

Thread: A viral story claims Kamala Harris was involved in a 2011 hit-and-run that left a 13-year-old named Alicia Brown paralyzed.

But the story is fake, and is most likely part of a pro-Kremlin disinformation operation run by an ex-Florida cop we've previously reported on.



Image
Image
Image
Image
The source of the story is an obscure website called KBSF-San Francisco News. The domain was set up on 20 August.

The website has all the hallmarks of a network of AI-powered fake news websites set up by Moscow-based former Florida cop John Mark Dougan.
Image
Image
The top image of the massive story, which is supposed to show the crash caused by Harris in San Francisco in 2011, was actually taken in Guam.

A simple reverse search shows the image was originally posted in a news story about a January 2018 crash in Mangilao, Guam.

Immediately after the Southport attack, baseless rumours began spreading online.

The main source of rumours has been a report by an obscure US "news" website that falsely claims the suspect is an "asylum seeker" named "Ali Al-Shakati", who "arrived in the UK by boat last year". Image
Merseyside Police has confirmed that the suspect was born in Cardiff, and has yet to identify the 17-year-old.

The report also adds that the suspect was "on MI6 watch list", despite the fact that it is MI5, not MI6, that deals with domestic counter-terrorism cases.
Image

The name "Ali Al-Shakati" has since been widely shared online in misleading posts viewed by millions.

Some other outlets, including Russia's RT news channel, have also reported this name, citing the US-based website.

THREAD: Fact-checking the Trump-Biden CNN debate

Trump said that Biden "inherited no inflation" when he came into office.

Inflation stood at 1.4% in January 2021. It rose significantly during Biden's presidency, hitting a peak of 9.1% in 2022. It was 3.3% in May. Image
Biden claimed he's the only president in the last decade who doesn’t have "any troops dying anywhere in the world".

Three US troops were killed in a drone attack in Jordan in January.

During the Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021, 13 US troops were killed in a suicide attack.
Image
Image
On abortion, Trump claimed that Biden wants to kill babies "in the ninth month and even after birth".

Killing a newborn is illegal in every US state.

Less than 1% of US abortions happen after 28 weeks, according to @CDCgov data. 93.5% of abortions happen before 13 weeks. https://www.cdc.gov/reproductive-health/data-statistics/abortion-surveillance-findings-reports.html#:~:text=Nearly%20all%20abortions%20in%202021,at%20%E2%89%A521%20weeks'%20gestation.

Thread: Baltimore Bridge collapse misinformation

Pro-Kremlin influencers claim the captain of the Dali ship is a Ukrainian.

But online records show a Ukrainian man was the Dali's captain from March to July 2016. The ship that hit the bridge reportedly had an all-Indian crew.

Claims by influencers such as Alex Jones and Andrew Tate that the Baltimore Bridge collapsed due to a "cyber-attack" have been viewed millions of times.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore has said the early investigation points to an accident, with "no evidence of a terrorist attack".

This video, viewed 1.4 million times, claims to show evidence of pre-installed explosives causing the Baltimore Bridge collapse.

What the video shows is not explosives, but most likely electrical wires catching sparks. Image
