DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The assault on the Capitol is the new 9/11

SUMMARY

The 9/11 incidents led to the beginning of the restriction of basic freedoms in the US, for which Baby Bush had the support of the Pentagon and the Deep State (the CIA, FBI, etc.). And nine years ago, Leon Panetta, US Secretary of Defense with Obama, warned that the US lived a “pre-Pearl Harbour 9/11 cybernetic moments, when four actors -Russia, China, Iran and unspecified terrorist identities- are preparing to attack critical infrastructures in the US”. The United States has been looking for its cyber-Pearl Harbour since then. Now, with the pretext of the coarse assault of the Capitol, the complex Pentagon-Deep State-Wall Street-Silicon Valley is humiliating Trump, when the ‘cybercracy’ censors his accounts in social media. Now, with the 1/6 incidents, there is a triple goal: to impose a new domestic order with a single, globalist-oriented party, and to exorcise Trumpism; the irredentism of the global ‘cybercracy’ to subdue the digital sovereignty of those countries who lack antibodies; and the expansion of the US cyberwar against China and Russia. This is a global ‘cybernetic coup’.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory not based on any evidence, merging several recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the 9/11 attacks as a domestic conspiracy, and about global elites secretly ruling the world, and specifically a so-called ‘Deep State’ in the United States who rule above elected officials. This narrative aims to question the legitimacy of democracy and Western institutions and, in this case, to favour Donald Trump by framing him as the victim of a conspiracy.

There is massive evidence that Donald Trump’s supporters organised, coordinated and launched the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, without any intervention of an alleged ‘Deep State complex’ as a way to discredit Trumpism or to advance a set of secret plans. The article also deliberately distorts the meaning of Leon Panetta’s speech. In an intervention at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York, then-Secretary of Defense Panetta was warning about the cyber-vulnerabilities of his country against foreign or malignant actors, not setting the bases for an alleged action that would serve as a pretext to put in practice a dark agenda.

See other examples of these disinformation narratives, such as claims that the result of the US 2020 election doesn’t matter because the real ruler is the Deep State, which will kill any US president that confronts it and is moving the country towards war with Iran and Russia; that Hillary Clinton published the Deep State strategy for the world; or that Covid-19 vaccines will lead to full-spectrum dominance.
