But after it has settled in your system for a while, you may begin to think:
“That’s not all untrue…”

CHINA
CCP’s AI Propaganda
Did you know that Artificial intelligence is streamlining China’s propaganda efforts? They are blatantly mocking the US with AI-generated animated videos to erode its international reputation and divide the nation to weaken it from the inside.
🎨 Creativity. China Global Television Network, the Chinese state media directly controlled by the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party, aired a series called “A Fractured America.”
It employs AI to craft hyper-stylized animations and synthetic audio, presenting a dystopian view of American society.
🔎 Projection. Although these videos may contain some truth, similar, if not more severe, issues are prevalent within the CCP as well. They know that doing this would divide America, and in turn, divert attention away from their own corruption.
Here are more examples:
UNITED KINGDOM
JK Rowling dares police to arrest her
JK Rowling is standing against Scotland’s new hate crime law, asserting it stifles free speech and could criminalize people for “misgendering” people and stating biological facts.
🔍 Scrutiny. Rowling challenged the law’s potential to silence dissent, fearing it prioritizes “the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness” over women’s rights.
📜 Legislation. The Hate Crime and Public Order Act, now in effect, has sparked debate over its broad scope and the implications for free speech in Scotland.
🏴 Resistance. Critics like former SNP deputy leader Jim Sillars are resisting the act, fearing it marks a departure from Scotland’s Enlightenment roots.
The act includes age, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, and transgender identity as protected categories.
Rowling and others argue it could harm women’s and girls’ rights and safety.
“Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal”
Not gonna lie, the name of the law sounds a bit 1984-esque.
RUSSIA
Enforcing Russian law on NATO officials
Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov’s recent remarks reveal an intent to enforce Russian laws on NATO officials, even within their own countries.
🌐 Jurisdiction. This move by Moscow is seen as a direct challenge to the sovereignty of these states and sets a concerning precedent for international relations.
🚨 Alert. The US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) warns that such actions could be setting the stage for future escalations against NATO member states.
“Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov stated on March 31 that Russia will continue to assert its right, contrary to international law, to enforce Russian federal law on officials of NATO and post-Soviet states for their actions taken within the territory of their own countries where Russian courts have no jurisdiction, despite acknowledging that prosecuting such cases would be “unrealistic.”
ISRAEL
Israelis protest against Bibi
Tens of thousands have rallied in Jerusalem, demanding action and accountability from the government.
🔥 Outrage. “This government is doing horrendous things in Gaza, not in our name,” declared protester Karen Saar.
🕊️ Diplomacy Fails. Despite a brief ceasefire and partial hostage release, Netanyahu’s promise to bring all captives home remains unfulfilled, with peace talks stalling and public patience wearing thin.
📉 Political Turmoil. Accusations of corruption and political self-preservation plague Netanyahu’s tenure, as polls suggest a steep decline in public support, intensifying calls for early elections.
