WARNING: undergroundnewsreport.com spreading dangerous & false information
A recent Steemit article as well as a recent Voat thread have brought to my attention that the website undergroundnewsreport.com is spreading dangerous and false information to unsuspecting readers and Pizzagate researchers.
When I looked into the Steemit article's alleged email myself, I could not locate the email in question, which I might add is curiously taken from a photo of a computer screen and not linked from the email itself. Try a search query on WikiLeaks to see what I mean about it not existing.
Judging from the appearance of the WikiLeaks page I would also say this is almost certainly fraudulent as that is not the true WikiLeaks site being displayed.
I also found this highly suspicious.
Thanks for posting this... I haven't had time to check wikileaks myself the past few days and when I saw this previously I believed it. Case in point, always do your own research!
That "email" got me all excited until I recognized the WikiLeaks site looking funky and read the Voat post. You just can't be too careful these days I guess.
If you want to stay in touch with when WikiLeaks has releases you can double-check their Twitter and Julian's now that he's back online.
yes and as this very recent screenshot I just took of the wikileaks site, there is nothing newer than the French election data...
Made sure to include date and time for posterity
Great catch @rebelskum!
There's no evidence that Hillary ever directly addressed Obama in an email with "Dear Barack" or signed off with "Thanks, Hillary".
Seems pretty obvious this is a fake when you read over it again.
Plus you'll notice Ben Affleck is included in the recipients too :P Nice try disinformation machine
Hahaha I actual did notice that...total shit-post.
Glad you caught onto that quickly, I hadn't seen the posts yet.
The WikiLeaks one seems new to Steemit, and I only happened upon it by going to "new" posts under "pizzagate". Just glad this chicanery was called out on the Blockchain in time.
I think we should expect an increase in these types of disinfo pieces from here on out. Keep a sharp eye out.
This is what is meant by the phrase "Eyeballs on it."
It's important to open source. If a source can't be cited, it must be dismissed.
When referencing Wikileaks and Tweets, best practices suggest use the Source Link to Wikileaks or Twitter and not just a screenshot. Great catch on this obvious disinfo piece.
