Russia has been accused of spreading fake news and interfering with elections all over the world. A new report identifies some particularly crazy examples of Russian created fake news being spread in the UK and US in an attempt to destabilise the west. We explain the type of content being created, who’s making it and why they’re doing it.

COVID Regulation Turn Britain into an Orwellian Dystopia? Government Has Too Much Power? – TLDR News

Coronavirus Act Renewed: https://youtu.be/EPPgLi_H8zI
In recent weeks many people have grown frustrated by the government’s COVID regulations, leading some (even within their own party) to reject what they see as government power grabs. Some have even compared COVID Britain to the world portrayed in George Orwell’s 1984. So in this video, we discuss the new powers the government has, why some people are angry about them and whether we really are getting a bit 1984.

Atlantic Council has been caught running thousands of fake social media accounts to interfer in US, UK and EU elections..i.e. the elections they are supposed to be defending from interference.
If you believe them it puts every video you've ever made into question. How do you confirm the information you research? You see it in Print so it MUST be true??????
@sisyphusvasilias3943
December 26, 2023 at 7:48 pm
This is EXACTLY what the ATLANTIC COUNCIL has been busted doing many times. Look into New Knowledge and the Integrity Initiative…both PARTNERS OF THE ATLANTIC COUNCIL and both busted running thousands of fake facebook and twitter accounts for propaganda and election interference purposes.
@sisyphusvasilias3943
December 26, 2023 at 7:48 pm
Taking the Atlantic Council report as "evidence" is a DEATHBLOW for your channel's credibility.
Have you not heard of the Integrity Initiantive (UK Foreign Office propaganda operation) and New Knowledge, the US Company caught running THOUSANDS of fake B a/cs to rig the Alabama Senate Elections… BOTH are PARTNERS OF THE ATLANTIC COUNCIL!!!
@sisyphusvasilias3943
December 26, 2023 at 7:48 pm
How breath-takingly foolish, naive and guliable do you have to be to take the Atlantic Councils findings as authentic.They have been exposed many many times for doing exactly what they are accusing of Russian doing here. You're LITERALLY taking the CIA's word over the Russian Gov!!!! This isn't evidence. Both the Russian Gov and the At'Council are capable of generating these stories. To swallow it as FACT and go and make a video endorsing it is tragic for your credibility.
@sisyphusvasilias3943
December 26, 2023 at 7:48 pm
The Atlanic Council are the Political arm of NATO.
Atlantic Council's job is to undermine and discredit Russia.
A.C., the UK F.O. has been exposed many times running Fake New operations like the Integrity Inititive which ran fake social media stories about the Spanish Gov being too friendly with Russia and in USA the DoS contracted a privated company to set up thousands of fake FB a/c to make fake posts in the Alamba Senate race.
You have to be stupid to take the Atlantic Councils finding seriously.

But really fake news on the internet What a shocker!!

Oh, yeah, the modern edition of 'Are the jews conspiring to rule over the world?' of 1890's vintage. The amount of falsehoods in this video shows that modern day Russophobes act just like the antisemites of the late nineteenth century – by spreading fake news via self-proclaimed independent entities.
@AndreyBelenkiy
December 26, 2023 at 7:48 pm
The problem is very real. People tend to disregard Russia as a legitimate threat. Many look closer to home for the source of their problems. And while Russia can't be blamed for everything going on in the world, often times they are behind problems and conflicts that just seem to drag on with no workable solution. In fact steering involved parties away from reaching an agreement is generally their main goal. I just wish more people realized this. Bit by bit, Russia is getting its way and is shaping the world. And believe me – you don't want to live in a world where Russia calls the shots.
Please share this if you can. Sharing legit information is the only way to compete with Russia's troll factories.

'GRU is the foreign military intelligence agency of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (formerly the USSR′s General Staff). Unlike Russia's other security and intelligence agencies, such as the SVR, the FSB, and the FSO, whose heads report directly to the president of Russia, Director of GRU is subordinate to the Russian military command, i.e. the minister of defence and the Chief of the General Staff. Until 2010, and again from 2013, the GRU combined military intelligence service and special forces.'
I got this from Wikipedia.
From what I can understand the GRU is somewhat similar to the British SAS.

December 26, 2023 at 7:48 pm
Yes please. It would be a significant public service (and Good Karma points) to develop a video that helps people recognize the signs of fake news. Obviously there is "hyper-partisan" news, which is also disinforming and dangerous. But the Fake News you describe is of a different order and it constitutes a worldwide threat. Any means of detection you can share will be appreciated internationally. After all, it's not only Brits who follow you. For example, I'm American, following gratefully more than a year.

The reason so called "fake news" gets trusted now is because the MSM is just as bad as the fake news. The MSM is now literally just a click bait factory writing articles and stories that advance the side they support (usually the left). Hell it's been proven the MSM colludes with political parties to put out propaganda in the DNC email leak and declassified CIA documents. Point is the lack of trust in the MSM is their own doing

You should have stuck with Brexit, this is an appalling video and damaged your credibility. Nobody has been peddling fake news more than the Guardian and the New York Times in recent years, or are you too young to remember WMDs and the destruction of Iraq? Russiagate bullshit is the most wildly promoted conspiracy theory of recent times. The Atlantic Council is massively involved in the coup in Brazil against the elected government, giving rise to Bolsonaro, which was the whole point. Wow, my opinion of your channel has taken a catastrophic drop, do a LOT more reading and self educating before you drop another of these embarrassing videos.
