BBC busts Russian fake news story about US 'experiments' in Georgia - Polidicks

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-46157507/russian-disinformation-and-the-georgian-lab-of-death BBC is launching a big anti-fake news project today: www.bbc.co.uk/fakenews

The Americans weren't developing biological weapons - they were merely visiting the world-famous Georgian cathedrals in hazmat suits.

Wow, you're telling me the Russian government is full of shit? What a surprise! Also it's hilarious how any time there's an article like this it's immediately obvious who the ones rating it negatively are. It's like some people are waging a war on reality itself.

I actually checked the account to see if it was karimatrix, but it's somebody I've never heard of. I mean, just the premise of this story is absurd. If the US were to invest time developing biological weapons on innocent people, the idea that they'd choose a state with large Russian influence that's adjacent to the caucuses is insane.

Freezing Moon doesn't post so often anymore from what I've seen but he's just as bad as Karimatrix. Possibly worse since Karimatrix at the very least acknowledges the Russian government sucks on occasion even as he's defending it in the same breath.

What a surprise, the source himself is a coward going "I never claimed anything, I'm just asking questions, I don't know, I don't know".

the US has probably experimented with bio weapons in A georgia, considering the CDC's HQ and a major lab is in Atlanta but that's really grasping at straws.

Wait, which Georgia are they referring to here? This is a detail that really needs to be specified now that Russia is invading both of them.

Shit this made me think of the eugenics experiments done on black people in the US Georgia, not the other one.

i'm 99% sure Freezing Moon was Varg666 on oldpunch - in case you couldn't tell from the name he's a fucking Odalist (from Australia, lol)

Oh, that actually makes a lot of sense. I'd been thinking his posts felt really familiar but couldn't place them. I think you may be right.

Major props to the BBC for this initiative, more new sources should check against articles. Checks and balances all the way baby.

This is why the state of Georgia shall be renamed.

To make it simpler for its residents, the US Georgia will be renamed to simply "George".

Honestly I don't get why we kept the name Georgia in the first place. It's named after the king of England that we were rebelling against, and it got completely razed in the war of southern treason.

Was the organization called Gentek by any chance?

It was named after King George II, not George III.

In that case, you'd have to rename a great many states. Virginia was named after Elizabeth I and Maryland's origins are that King Charles' wife/Queen was called Mary. A lot of states are named based on random British things. New York, lots of towns called Birmingham, Liverpool, etc. etc. It's not tenable to rename all these things, in my opinion.

Yeah you've been infringing on our IP for a few years there. Lawsuit's in the mail
