DISINFO: US Deep State is promoting campaigns on UFOs and the origin of Covid-19 against Russia and China
SUMMARY
UFOs exist by the grace of Russia. This is the most recent and grotesque affirmation launched by US politicians and retired military officials, backed by the Pentagon who leaked a video on this subject. They are exploiting the reactions, and they are serious about it. It is clear that the Deep State, which controls Washington, has decided to start two terrible media campaigns, one against China due to the origin of Covid-19 and another against Russia, subliminally dropping that all this phenomenon of flying saucers that is a sort of urban myth since 1947 is nothing but a series of secret weapons, first Soviet and then Russian, and of course under exclusive orders from Vladimir Putin.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation messages about secret elites ruling the world above elected politicians - in this case, a so-called Deep State that allegedly controls Washington - and about Russia as the victim of ceaseless machinations.
In May 2021, weeks before the scheduled release of a US official intelligence report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, several top US officials commented on the possibility that the increasing number of sightings could be due to advanced Russian or Chinese technologies. While these statements were presented by their authors as merely speculative, this disinformation story distorts them to affirm that US officials are blaming first the USSR and then Russia for the whole UFO phenomenon since 1947, a claim that is false.
By framing US speculations as absurd, this distortion aims to promote the long-term disinformation narrative that Russia is always falsely accused of everything and the subject of unfair campaigns. The claim also extends to recent questioning about the origins of Covid-19, presented here as a “Deep State campaign against China”. In reality, concerns about the origin of the coronavirus pandemic are legitimate. In June 2021, 14 countries led by the US jointly called for a transparent, evidence-based and expert-led WHO-convened phase 2 study on the origins of COVID-19 that is free from interference. In 10 June 2021, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said: "Investigators need complete access to whatever is necessary to really find the source of this pandemic," while the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, affirmed: "The world has the right to know exactly what happened in order to be able to learn the lessons."
See other similar narratives in our database, such as claims that UFOs, blaming China and the incursion in Venezuela are all US ruses to divert attention away from the coronavirus crisis; that the US system is not democratic because the Deep State makes the big decisions; that globalists aim to destroy Russia because it supports a transition to a multipolar world order; that the West pursues an anti-Russian campaign to encircle and destabilise Russia; that claims about genocide in Xinjiang are propaganda not backed by any evidence; or that in 2021, Russia will remain the perfect scapegoat.
