Spreads fake news and conspiracy theories instead of congratulations
A photographer who has worked extensively with Barack Obama spread conspiracy theories Sunday regarding a photograph released by the White House of President Trump and numerous officials watching the US Special Operations forces raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Pete Souza, Obama’s photographer, implied that the photo showing Trump with Vice President Mike Pence, Defence Secretary Mark T. Esper and US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, was staged.
The raid, as reported, took place at 3:30PM Washington time. The photo, as shown in the camera IPTC data, was taken at "17:05:24". https://t.co/XV0MFfFiTt

Souza’s “evidence” was that some reports suggested the raid began at 3:30pm Washington time, yet the photo timestamp says the image was taken at 17:05:24, local Washington DC time, over 90 minutes later.
But, no. Wrong.
Trump himself stated that “We were pretty much gathered at five o’clock yesterday…the attack started moments after that.”
Souza was forced to issue a follow up tweet backpedaling:
Just to be clear, I didn't say it was staged. Trump himself said he didn't arrive to the Situation Room until "around 5pm". So it's definitely possible the photo was taken during the raid. https://t.co/h3yx8BbLAT

The fake news had already spread, however, with the blue check brigade, media and Democrats ‘outraged’ that Trump was at his golf course at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, and not watching US soldiers conducting the raid.
I was the White House pool reporter on Saturday: Trump was in the motorcade from his golf club from 3:33 p.m. until 4:18 p.m., wearing blue pullover, khaki pants and a red cap.

Others suggested that the photo was fake because there are unplugged network cables:
Why are all the computer and electronic cables unplugged and just laying on the table?

The conspiracy theory train had already left the station.
Whoa hold on now. I didn't say it was staged I just completely implied it so my dense followers could take the next step for me. Great work hero.

My theory is they lied to POTUS and told him he was watching it live, when in fact he was watching something that occurred 90 minutes earlier. They were afraid he would leak if they informed him in real-time.

The photograph evoked memories of the one Souza himself took featuring Obama and Hillary from the 2011 raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound. At the time, it too was suggested to have been staged.

While the Washington Post labeled al-Baghdadi as a ‘scholar’, Bloomberg related how the ISIS leader had successfully ‘transformed himself’:

Media and Democrats piled on, some complaining that Trump hadn’t spoken politely or respectfully enough about ISIS:

Some, like journalist Glenn Greenwald, pointed out the grim fascination of watching Democrats deal with the situation:
It's genuinely fascinating watching Democrats in real time struggle to figure out what to say about this. They want to be patriotic and anti-ISIS, but also need a way to malign Trump without contradicting their gushing Obama praise over OBL: not an easy balancing act. Good luck!
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) October 27, 2019
"You know, it's a sad day in America when the Democrats can't stand up and thank the President, thank the U.S. military for taking out the leader of ISIS last night. That's a tragedy, here is the problem, Maria, the Democrats have impeachment obsession…" – @SteveDaines pic.twitter.com/b19vT6XVec

It should be pointed out that after the Bin Laden raid in 2011, this was Trump’s reaction:
I want to personally congratulate President Obama and the men women of the Armed Forces for a job very well (cont) http://tl.gd/a7dhom
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 2, 2011
I want to personally congratulate President Obama and the men [and] women of the Armed Forces for a job very well done. I am so proud to see Americans standing shoulder to shoulder, waving the American flag in celebration of this great victory.
We should spend the next several days not debating party politics, but in remembrance of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and those fighting for our freedom. God Bless America.

Zelensky Critic Arrested in Spain on Orders of Ukrainian Government
Even though he condemned Russia’s invasion.

Published
2 weeks agoon
6 May, 2022
A popular YouTuber and critic of President Zelensky was arrested in Spain at the behest of the Ukrainian government on charges of treason and faces extradition, despite publicly condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Yes, really.
Anatoly Shariy, who has almost 3 million YouTuber subscribers, was detained on an international arrest warrant in a joint operation by Spanish and Ukrainian police, as well as international “partners,” according to the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU).
They claim that Shariy has been acting on behalf of “foreign” forces by infringing Ukraine’s national security via his media commentary on the war and engaging in “incitement of hatred.”
Shariy’s arrest “is more proof that every traitor of Ukraine will sooner or later receive his well-deserved punishment. It is inevitable,” the SBU asserted.
The blogger had previously been granted asylum by the EU in 2012 after fleeing persecution by the government of Viktor Yanukovich, who was pro-Russian.
Despite condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Shariy’s criticism of Zelensky’s response was apparently enough for him to be targeted by Ukrainian authorities.
Having had his passport seized, Shariy is now in Barcelona under a travel ban until a decision on his extradition to Ukraine is made. President Zelensky’s representative at the Constitutional Court said Shariy will “face a Ukrainian court and will be held liable in line with Ukrainian laws.”
In response to his arrest, Shariy posted a picture of his wife feeding parrots in Barcelona, commenting, “This really is a comedy.”
Shariy’s arrest once again puts to bed the idea that Ukraine is some kind of beacon of democracy, when its authorities treat dissidents exactly the same way dissidents are treated in Russia.
Last month, footage was released of Associated Press accompanying armed men from the Ukraine Security Service as they kidnapped and arrested dissidents from their own homes.
AP accompanies Zelensky's SBU thugs as they kidnap Ukrainians who speak out against the regime. This is an obvious propaganda piece designed to normalize crushing dissent. Imagine how they act when cameras aren't on. https://t.co/8YjRbQXDqT pic.twitter.com/o55SwvhvIH

Macron Claims Banning Islamic Veil Would Spark “Civil War” in France
But polls show majority of French still want to see it banned.

Published

22 April, 2022
French President Emmanuel Macron claimed during a debate that banning the Islamic veil would spark “civil war” in France, although a majority of French people still support the ban.
Macron made the statement during a presidential debate with challenger Marine Le Pen.
Le Pen, who supports a full ban on the veil, said she was “not carrying out a war against their religion.”
“I am for the banning of the veil in public space. The veil is a uniform imposed by the Islamists, a large part of the young women who put it on cannot do otherwise in reality, even if they dare not say so,” Le Pen told viewers.
“What you’re saying is very serious,” Macron responded. “You’re going to create civil war if you do it.”
However, polls show that the majority of the electorate side with Le Pen in supporting the banning of the veil.
'If Le Pen does pull it off on Sunday it will be seismic, we're talking an election result of Brexit and Trump proportions. It would send shock waves across Europe.'
GB News' Paul Hawkins reports as Macron consolidates a lead in the French presidential election polls. pic.twitter.com/w1j5FWBZ37
— GB News (@GBNEWS) April 22, 2022
A poll conducted last month showed 61 per cent were in favor of banning the veil.
A more recent survey found that 35 per cent were “totally for” banning the veil, while a further 25 per cent were “rather for” the move.
Perhaps Macron should be asking why France is accommodating so many people who would immediately resort to violence if their feelings are hurt.
It’s no surprise that the Great Mosque of Paris has urged Muslims in France to vote for Macron in order to help defeat Le Pen.
In a video statement, the rector of the mosque, Chems-Eddine Hafiz, claimed that “malicious forces are speaking out today calling for the banishment of Muslims.”
Urging Muslims not to ignore the election, he stated, “Abstention from voting and the blank votes will strengthen the far-right wing.”
Meanwhile, a new mosque in Toulouse that can accommodate 4,000 people has just opened while Christian churches continue to be desecrated and closed down on a daily basis.
Figures show that nearly 25 per cent of all newborn babies in France have an Arab name.
And the French are likely to vote for the continuation of all this be re-electing Macron on Sunday.

Video: Elon Musk Again Sounds Alarm Over Depopulation
“Most people in the world are operating under the false impression that we’ve got too many people.”

The left’s most hated figure of the moment Elon Musk once again issued a warning over falling birth rates globally, noting that “Most people in the world are operating under the false impression that we’ve got too many people.”
Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, asked Musk what keeps him awake at night, to which the Space X CEO responded that negative birthrates “might be the biggest threat to the future of human civilization.”
Musk noted that so called ‘experts’ are promulgating the myth that the planet is overpopulated.
“This is not true. Earth could maintain a population many times the current level. And the birth rate has been dropping like crazy,” Musk urged.
Citing Japan as a startling example of depopulation, Musk added that “ridiculous population estimates from the [United Nations]” should be “updated, because really, they don’t make any sense.”

Full interview:
Earlier this year, Musk asserted that “If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble, mark my words.”
Musk countered claims that “the population is growing out of control,” a refrain often made by environmentalists, asserting that the truth is “completely the opposite.”
Recent studies have shown that more people are refraining from having children citing concerns over the climate, health and overpopulation, while Researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation recently warned that the planet is not prepared for an ongoing global population crash, and that the impact will be “jaw dropping”.
