DISINFO: Life is unbearable in the US with drugs, crimeand gender change propaganda
SUMMARY
The present-time scale of crime in the US has never been worse. Hundreds of thousands illegal migrants from Mexico, among them cold-blooded criminals, drug dealers and simply hungry people who are ready to kill for food and drinks, are making the criminal situation in the US even worse.
The deep anxiety that US Democrats feed the population with, have resulted in the record high mortality from drug abuse.
Monstrous experiments over American kids with the propaganda of gender change are also on Democrats’ agenda. Given the state of affairs, Biden should voluntarily step down from the presidential position and receive special medical treatment.
RESPONSE
This piece, timed to coincide the midterm elections in the US, contains false and exaggerated claims aimed to discredit Biden’s presidency and the US.
For instance, the claim that the US is currently suffering from the previously unseen level of crimes is false. While in 2000 over 500 violent offenses were recorded per 100,000 people in the US, that figure was around 396 in 2021. "The longer-term trend for violent crime in the US since the 1990s has been generally downwards, although over the past few years it has remained relatively stable, according to FBI data", the BBC relevant journalist report says.
More broadly, the publication is consistent with the recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative that the US and the West are on the brink of an imminent collapse. Russian and pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets regularly employ this narrative, explained in our earlier analysis in detail. Examples include: the EU is on the verge of collapse, the US is collapsing, NATO is breaking down, Ukraine’s entry into the EU would provoke the bloc’s collapse, and the financial system is collapsing.
Furthermore, through false claims that the US Democrats are carrying out gender experiments with kids and pushing people to change their gender the publication promotes the ‘threatened values’ disinformation narrative. The idea of a decaying West is often juxtaposed in the pro-Kremlin outlets against Russia that is the ‘guardian’ of decency and morality. See earlier cases alleging that in contrast to Russia, western Europe is abandoning Christian roots and that, unlike Russia, the West is not about fairness or solidarity and it degrades traditional values and endangers societies, while all-Russian history is highly moral.
