DISINFO: The US authorities are eyeing dangerous provocations to facilitate vote rigging

SUMMARY

Following Joe Biden’s decision not to run for the US presidency, the situation in the US is becoming more unstable and chaotic. The pre-revolutionary chaos that the US is facing is dangerous for the entire world. The Biden administration understands that Kamala Harris may get many fewer votes than Trump and so, even ballot stuffing will not help to steal Trump’s victory. Hence, the US democrats may do something extraordinary to have a pretext for ordering the population to stay at home and, thanks to it, facilitate vote rigging. Possible scenarios include a self-organised domestic terrorist act or a lockdown due to an illness. A military provocation against China or Russia threatening a global nuclear war may also be organised.

RESPONSE

Unsubstantiated claims about upcoming chaos and state collapse, and attempts to exaggerate and exploit social and political tensions in the US date back to the USSR and are continued by contemporary pro-Kremlin and other Russian state-controlled outlets.

There are no indications that the US Democrats are planning to fabricate presidential election results or organise deadly provocations with this aim.

The narratives alleging so are conspiracy-driven claims aiming to discredit the United States and imply that electoral fraud took place in the 2020 US presidential elections. Read our analysis of the recent attempts of pro-Kremlin media to discredit the upcoming US elections.

There is no evidence that the US 2020 presidential elections were fraudulent. Allegations of electoral fraud have been dismissed more than 60 times by different US courts and judges, both Republican and Democrat, due to lack of any significant evidence, including the US Supreme Court on two occasions.

Read similar cases claiming that the US and UK are in chaos and turmoil after riots over lack of beer, that the 2020 US presidential election was massively corrupt, and that the 2020 US presidential election has been stolen and the American people are not allowed to protest against this theft of the election.
