SCOOP: YouTube has apparently reinstated X22 Report, one of the biggest QAnon-affiliated programs online. Its apparent reinstatement appears to contradict YouTube's policy against QAnon announced in October 2020, which caused QAnon programs to be banned. mediamatters.org/google/youtube…

The poster doesn’t make it clear but the image is clearly AI generated. You can see some heads missing, extra feet and some slightly odd body shapes.

Three days since this report by Axios, the Harris campaign is continuing to run these misleading political ads, which have been edited to appear as though they are real headlines and articles by major news outlets.

This image of Moscow is not recent. It’s been circulating since at least 2014 and shows lights switched off at the Kremlin during Earth Hour. The only mention of shortages I can find is an MT article saying Moscow MAY face electricity deficit in future moscowtimes.ru/2024/08/21/mos…

Thread on a disinformation campaign involving celebrities. Last week, the Bellingcat contact email received this message, directing us to look at a videos, titled "Olympics Has Fallen 2", voiced by Elon Musk himself. So we dug into it, because it was fishy as hell.

This is a fake Al Jazeera video that falsely claims the UAE has frozen the purchase of 80 fighter jets from France over the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov. It's part of a huge pro-Kremlin disinformation operation that churns out fake videos in the name of mainstream outlets.

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.
