Observations I had:

  1. DEATH TO THE MPLA meme

refers to a clip from the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 in which military leader Jonas Savimbi rallies his troops against the MPLA...

it became a meme 3 years ago, and the whole "meme" is having a screenshot of the clip in the middle of random videos... that's the meme, just having a hidden dude that screams death to the MPLA in random videos.

  1. The Russian sleep experiment, I'm sure most of the people heard of it, basically it was this story of Soviet scientists torturing war prisoners through not making them sleep and using gas on them until they became barely human and were promised freedom if they survived... the story is obviously false and originates from a 2010s creepy pasta post, the story got extremely popularized that it even got made into short films, what makes me believe it's a psyop is that it serves as a counter point to Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay, it's also conveniently called "Russian sleep experiment" and not "Soviet sleep experiment", it's a lie protected by "it's actually made in creepy pasta so it's just a horror story not propaganda".

    I stumbled on the weekly blitz source as well but from what I saw it's a zionist source run by a dude out of Bangladesh. The ones about Latifa are verrryyyy tentative, I'm not going to say anything because I don't want to catch another charge in the future, but the emir of the emirate where she is from has deep issues. The GN article is interesting though, it does cast some heavy shade on them, thanks for sharing. It hasn't fully convinced me on those guys, although they are sus, but Bolsen...

    There were accusations against Bolsen being an Al Qaeda operative and running a human trafficking site from the original reports in 2006, so at least that seems quite credible (though they used the name Shahid King Poliss lol). It's also interesting that all the stories on him mention that he struggled to make ends meet on his "meagre" 10k AED salary with his family, while at the same time he could cough up 200k AED in blood money for the family and get away from the death sentence to serve just 3 years (for "serious crimes" such as forgery of documents that threaten the emerate state security). Highly unlikely.

      Exactly! Some kind of deal was made for sure. Especially because he's basically doing NED work now.

      Edit this story is SO BIZARRE https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/courts/shahid-king-bolsen-s-troubled-road-to-sharjah-s-death-row-1.527883
