DISINFO: Official version of New Orleans attack may be FBI fabrication like Russiagate
SUMMARY
The FBI is trying to present the New Orleans terror attack as a ‘lone wolf attack’, but the FBI has a history of lying and fabricating. They fabricated the whole Russia-gate affair, the debunked claim hatched by the Clinton campaign in 2016 and taken up by the FBI in 2016 about Donald Trump’s alleged ‘collusion’ with Russia.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory not backed by any evidence, aiming to exploit the New Orleans terror attack on 01 January 2024 to undermine confidence in US institutions.
The investigation launched immediately after the New Orleans attack revealed a lot of information about the perpetrator -who died on the spot-, his military past, his movements and his personal, troubling circumstances. US officials concluded that he acted alone and was inspired by the Islamic State. No evidence has emerged pointing to anything different from what US authorities have disclosed.
Pro-Kremlin disinformation frequently repeats the baseless claim that the so-called Russia-gate is a "fabrication" and that it was "debunked", but Russian interference in the 2016 election in favour of Donald Trump has been proven beyond any doubt. There is a massive corpus of evidence compiled in the two-volume Mueller report and the five-volume US Senate investigation. Mueller’s investigations led to the criminal indictment of 34 people, 26 of them Russian citizens or entities including the infamous Internet Research Agency. Many other findings by The New York Times and The Washington Post, for which they received the Pulitzer Prize in 2018, were later backed by the evidence presented in court, further investigations or confessions of those involved.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the US never presented evidence of Russia’s involvement in election interference or cyberattacks, that Russiagate was a fraud orchestrated by the West, that the US maintains sanctions on Russia even though accusations of interference proved to be unfounded, or that the Mueller report is another proof of how Russia is always falsely accused.
