Ukraine’s a False Flag! No, It’s the End of the Deep State! Nutters Can’t Decide
Dangerous misinformation is flying around the internet — and conspiracy theories are running the gamut
By PETER WADE
People look at the damage following a rocket attack the city of Kyiv, Ukraine, Friday, Feb. 25, 2022.
In the gutter world of the internet, many conspiracy theorists are struggling to weave a single narrative around Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While some subscribe to the belief that the war is a possible false flag operation, others think Vladimir Putin is attacking Ukraine to destroy the Deep State, a secret part of government they believe is on a mission undermine Trump. To be clear, neither of these are accurate: Putin has long believed the democratic nation should be under Russia’s control, a belief which led to a very real military invasion that has resulted in thousands of deaths over the the past week. But in a polarized world distrustful of actual reported facts, misinformation has been spreading rapidly.
As extremism researcher Abbie Richards put it in a recent TikTok, when false stories circulate, it can have real-world consequences for those in harm’s way. “It seems like people don’t understand why misinformation is so dangerous during a crisis,” she said. “People, especially people in Ukraine or with family in Ukraine, they deserve an accurate depiction of what’s going on.” When people share fake or doctored content, “it’s harmful for people in Ukraine who need an accurate understanding of where there is danger. So to Westerners saying that these videos are spreading awareness: Awareness should not come at the cost of spreading misinformation.”
Of course, that’s exactly what’s happening. Some prominent conspiracy theorists have accused the media of lying or sharing fake footage and images from Ukraine, suggesting that the conflict may be a psy-op, a psychological operation to manipulate the public. One instagram user with more than 23,000 followers, who Rolling Stone has chosen not to name, shared a New York Times video of babies from a Ukraine hospital and wrote in a caption, “I’m sure I’m gonna be condemned for this, but these don’t look like real babies. Could be the quality of the video? Possibly.” According to the Times, the video shows “newborn infants from the neonatal intensive care unit at a children’s hospital in Dnipro, in eastern Ukraine” sheltering in a makeshift bomb shelter.
Influencer Lively Lexie, who often shares memes that are indicative of the Pastel QAnon worldview, also promoted the conspiracy theory that the Russian invasion might be a false flag operation with a goal of “shut[ting] down internet.” She encouraged her more than 50,000 followers to “question everything” and added that “the media always lies and twists things.” She also shared references to a conspiracy theory about Hunter Biden’s laptop and posted a screenshot of a tweet where a user claimed (without proof) that an image of a woman in Ukraine with blood on her face was taken in 2018 and not 2022.
The photograph in question was posted to Instagram by photographer Wolfgang Schwan on Feb. 24, and was also shared by his agency the same day. According to Schwan, the woman in the photograph was injured when a residential apartment complex was struck by a Russian airstrike in Chuhuiv, Ukraine, that morning.

On the other end of the spectrum, adherents of the QAnon movement are celebrating Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, which they believe is real and an operation against the Deep State. QAnon believers subscribe to a fantasy that a “cabal” of powerful Satan-worshiping pedophiles, including high-powered Democrats, run the Deep State. Trump, they believe, was sent to expose and end the Deep State. This isn’t exactly surprising — given QAnon adherents’ participation in the anti-democratic Jan. 6 uprising, or their support of the coup in Myanmar — but it’s troubling nonetheless.
Marc-André Argentino, a researcher and PhD candidate at Concordia University, shared posts from QAnon communities on Telegram cheering Putin’s invasion. “Ukraine is corrupt with many many Dems and their profits from human trafficking[,] drugs and weapons,” a user named T Light posted.
Another screenshot Argentino captured showed user MAGALivesMatter posting a link alleging that a Ukraine airport was under attack and wrote, “Go Russia! Get rid of this Deep state bullshit.”

Additional online posts surfaced by Media Matters show users attacking Democrats who have condemned Putin’s aggression as “deep state players … protecting their interests in Ukraine.”
QAnon John, a.k.a. John Sabal, an organizer of a QAnon gathering called the For God & Country Patriot Roundup, posted online that he doesn’t view the “‘invasion’ of Ukraine as a ‘bad’ thing” because it is “a cleaning out of a VERY corrupt center of operations for the Cabal.” Sabal went on to say that the conflict is “NOT A WAR” but rather “a proper, and NECESSARY deep cleaning of Cabal operations and military assets, NOT an attack on innocent civilians.”
Belief in QAnon has risen in the U.S. since Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election, according to four 2021 surveys conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute. The think tank found that nearly a quarter of Americans (22 percent) believe that a “storm” is coming — a common refrain in QAnon circles that refers to arrests of high-ranking figures and political unrest. Eighteen percent of those surveyed indicated they believe violence may be needed to save the U.S., while 16 percent admitted they believe that Satan-worshipping pedophiles control the government, as well as the media and finance industries.

nah anon is poor and happy, at least 3 levels of alias's and vpn, nothing personally posted on the net for over 10 years and no photo's taken at all on mobiles including others.
of course anon does not incite unrest, just truth and lies.
up to others to decide if they should stop contributing to a corrupt state or live below the tax threshhold.
very simple solutions, no violence needed.
just do not spend or give them anything including the corrupt corps and state.
>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has declared that NATO will have blood on its hands for declining to establish a no-fly zone.
That will do it, keep going, play the victim and accuse them of not caring and having blood on their hands!!
Anon thinks this should be promoted by anons, see if they will give a answer to this war monger and corrupt minion of Klaus.
Anon wants to spell this out.l
Klaus is asking smaller nations to pony up with their sons and money to go and fight a way which he could have prevented easily but they wanted Ukraine in the E.U and fuck everyone else.
Anons should read this article anon got from W.E.F site directly !!!
PROJECT SYNDICATE - SUSTAINABLE GROWN REQUIRES DEFENSE ENERGY SECURITY !!
THIS IS DIRECTLY FROM THE WEF SITE ON PUTIN AND THEIR VIEWS !!
SUMMARY : PUTIN HAS GONE ROGUE ON W.E.F ?
1) E.U and the west thought they could buy influence and put the inexperienced and young leaders in charge to get their agenda.
2) The west has been complacent and unprepared
3) No point have green energy if you cannot defend yourself,
4) Relying on russia for energy and usa for defense back fired.

One hopes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will soon realize that his Ukraine invasion has been a spectacular miscalculation. But even if the current crisis subsides, it should remind Western governments that sustainable growth requires paying for the capacity to sustain economies against external aggression.
CAMBRIDGE – Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine should be a wake-up call for Western politicians, corporate leaders, and economists who advocate a green and equitable future but lack any practical or strategic sense of how to get there. Regardless of what short-term tactics Europe and the United States use in responding to the current crisis, their long-run strategy needs to put energy security on a par with environmental sustainability, and funding essential military deterrence on a par with financing social priorities.

The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 in no small part because Russia’s leaders, most of all President Boris Yeltsin and his economic advisers, recognized that the Soviet communist military-industrial complex could not afford to keep up with the West’s superior economic might and technological prowess. Today, with Russia’s economy less than one-twentieth the combined size of the US and EU economies, the same strategy of vastly outspending Russia on defense should be much easier to execute. Unfortunately, there is a hesitancy in many Western societies, particularly on the left, to admit that defense spending is sometimes a necessity, not a luxury.
For many decades, Western living standards have been boosted by a massive “peace dividend.” For example, US defense spending fell from 11.1% of GDP in 1967, during the Vietnam War, to 6.9% of GDP in 1989, the year the Berlin Wall fell, to just over 3.5% of GDP today. If US defense spending as a share of GDP was still at the Vietnam-era level, defense outlays in 2021 would have been $1.5 trillion higher – more than the government spent on social security last year, and almost triple government spending on non-defense consumption and investment. Even at the level of the late 1980s, defense spending would be more than $600 billion higher than today. The extra cost would have to be funded by higher taxes, greater borrowing, or lower government spending in other areas.
Europe’s defense spending has long been far lower than that of the US. Today, the United Kingdom and France spend just over 2% of their national income on defense, and Germany and Italy only around 1.5%. Moreover, national interests and domestic lobbying mean that European defense spending is highly inefficient, with the whole being considerably less than the sum of its parts. I am amazed by how many of my otherwise well-informed friends have been asking why Europe does not mount a stronger military response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine and looming threats to the Baltic states. Part of the answer, of course, is Europe’s dependence on Russian gas, but the larger reason is its egregious lack of preparedness.
Thanks to Russian President Vladimir Putin, this may all change. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s announcement on February 27 that Germany will increase its defense spending to more than 2% of GDP suggests that Europe may finally be getting its act together. But such commitments will have major fiscal implications – and, after the large pandemic-era fiscal stimulus, these may be difficult to digest. As Europe rethinks its fiscal rules, policymakers must consider how to make enough space to deal with unexpected large-scale military buildups.
Many seem to have forgotten that wartime spikes in expenditures were once a major driver of government spending volatility. In a war, not only do government expenditures and budget deficits typically increase sharply, but interest rates sometimes go up as well. Nowadays, policymakers (along with many well-intentioned economists) have become convinced that big global economic shocks such as pandemics or financial crises will invariably drive down interest rates, and make large debts easier to finance. But in wartime, the need to front-load massive temporary expenditures can easily push up borrowing costs.
True, in today’s complex world of drones, cyberwar, and automated battlefields, how governments spend their defense budgets matters greatly. Still, it is magical thinking to assume that every time defense budgets are cut, military planners will make up the difference with increased efficiency.
It would also help if the West could avoid further strategic energy-policy blunders of the sort that led us to this point. In particular, Germany, which relies on Russia for more than half of its gas needs, appears to have made a historic mistake in decommissioning all its nuclear power plants after the 2011
CONTINUED
Fukushima disaster. By contrast, France, which meets 75% of its energy needs through nuclear power, is significantly less vulnerable to Russian threats.
In the US, the cancellation of the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline may have been based on sound environmental logic. But now the timing seems awkward. Measures intended to protect the environment do little good if they lead to strategic weakness that increases the possibility of conventional wars in Europe – leaving aside the large-scale radioactive pollution that would result if neutron bombs or tactical nuclear weapons were deployed.
Stiff Ukrainian resistance, swift and severe economic and financial sanctions, and domestic dissent could yet force Putin to recognize that his decision to invade Ukraine was a spectacular miscalculation. But even if the current crisis subsides, the horrific attack on Ukraine ought to remind even the most committed peace advocate that the world can be harsh and unpredictable.
Everyone hopes for lasting peace. But hard-headed analyses of how countries can achieve sustainable and equitable growth requires leaving fiscal space – including emergency borrowing capacity – for the costs of guarding against external aggression.

Anon watched through the whole lot,
it is very much a shaming and victimhood speech.
just some points
Ukraine is not part of the E.U
They are not in Europe - they are part of the baltic states and part of it still wants to be russian.
The smaller countries are paraistes to the E.U only the larger countries pay anything towards the E.U. the others just takes.
Greece, poland, albania, hardly have workers, their governements are corrupts, their people police are corrupts and they barely pay any taxes.
so they maybe able to convince themselves of their great experient of a united Europe but in reality it is just the grifters and the stupid useful idiots.
WE HAVE EVERYTHING AND THEY ARE FUCKED
well judgeing by the last retard they had up who doxed the gofundme for truckers, he was a patsy for the cia who let him in easy or used as a front man to dox the truckers and anyone who donated to them.
so that went down well.
Thanks clowns.
good job.
