10 MOST EMBARRASSING HEADLINES IN THE BIOLABS SCANDAL
The world was told repeatedly that no US biolabs existed in Ukraine—such claims were “disinformation” from Russia, China, and from right-leaning people in the US.

That's what NBC, BBC, AFP, AP and others told the planet repeatedly.

But this week, US spy chief Tulsi Gabbard admitted that there WERE biolabs in Ukraine and elsewhere, they WERE US-funded, and they WERE experimenting with deadly viruses like ebola and sars.

Russia, China, and the US rightwingers had been right all along.

Also, as it became apparent that they existed, many media companies switched to a highly imaginative narrative saying that the Pentagon was funding overseas biolabs experimenting on killer viruses for “peace and health” reasons.

Because everyone knows that the Pentagon is all about peace and health, right? (sarcasm alert)

Check out these 10 headlines that media companies are surely praying have been forgotten!

@MarioNawfal Video not available in uk. Why?

[Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo]

Remember the viral video last year of the young Scottish girl who brandished a knife and axe at a violent migrant to protect herself and her sister? The video was called “propaganda” and dismissed as far-right lies by liberal media and leftists.

A trial showed the girls weren’t lying. A migrant pursued sexual activity with one of the children and came back to violently assault them with his migrant sister after he was rebuffed. Both the migrant siblings were convicted.

@France24_en @VedikaBahl, the French state-funded news broadcaster, called the girls liars and blamed @elonmusk and Tommy Robinson.

Comedy of AI errors: Lawyers on both sides of a case misuse AI, cite fake hallucinated cases.

At the show-cause hearing, "each of the attorneys expressed embarrassment and apologized to the Court."

"Neither of them verified the legal authority output by AI before filing their briefs."

In other words, there were two clients who basically were paying for ChatGPT (or whatever LLM) to argue against itself.

Neither of them realized this until the court issued the OSC!

Fines all around (between $1,000 and $3,500), other sanctions include pro hac status revoked, disqualified from practicing in the district for 2 years, among other things:

Please remember that you must not express your feelings about the Belfast atrocity until the political establishment has told you exactly how you are supposed to feel. That's how it works now.

@Keir_Starmer Now answer the letter from @RupertLowe10

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

.@Keir_Starmer, your statement says you have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.

With respect, tolerance is not the issue. Nobody tolerates a near beheading on a residential street in Belfast. The question your statement carefully avoids is prevention. And prevention requires honesty about a pattern your government has consistently refused to name.

A man in his thirties, a Somali national, pinned a man to the ground on a residential street and stabbed him repeatedly in the face and neck. Members of the public intervened with a hurling stick. A woman required hospital treatment for the stress of witnessing it. This happened in Northern Ireland, a place that has known more than its share of violence, and even there residents said they had never seen anything like it.

Your government has presided over record small boat crossings. It has failed to proscribe the IRGC despite repeated promises. It has blocked the grooming gang inquiry for a year before being forced to concede it. It has spent £10 billion on asylum accommodation contracts. It has actively resisted measures that would have reduced the number of unvetted individuals entering and remaining in this country.

The victims of these attacks are not statistics. They are British people, going about their lives on their own streets, who were failed before the attack happened. Failed at the border. Failed by a system that prioritises the rights of those who arrive illegally over the safety of those who were already here.

Your thoughts are with the victim. So are ours. The difference is that thoughts are not policy. Thoughts do not secure borders. Thoughts do not remove individuals with no right to be here. Thoughts do not protect the next victim, whose name we do not yet know, on a street we cannot yet identify, from an attack that has not yet happened.

How many more before the thoughts become action?

No, Keir Starmer will announce mandatory ID checks for all social media in the next two weeks.

Let’s not be naive about what this is really about. They want to be able to track down anons and send the cops round.

Hi @ShabanaMahmood,

You just stood up in parliament and said "we are all equal before the law". In that case, why are Sikh's allowed to carry a knife and nobody else is?

This is the *very definition* of being UNEQUAL before the law.

You just misled the house.

Please correct the record.
Thanks

@JohnSlinger Starmer made himself the enemy when he fast tracked people to prison over tweets in the wake of Southport. Go to hell.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Tried watching a BBC doc on Russia.

Already in the first mins: "Russia arrests journalists and threatens them with decades in prison!"

As opposed to what? Me being threatened w/ 14 years in the UK, or 10 years in Austria for my reporting?

Hypocrisy at its peak.
