Politics
Elections, governance, and political narratives.
2020 US election fraud
FalseClaims that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was stolen through widespread fraud have been rejected by more than 60 courts, election officials of both parties, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and independent audits including one commissioned by Republicans in Arizona.
Agenda 2030
MixedThe UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a real multilateral framework adopted by 193 UN member states in 2015, containing 17 Sustainable Development Goals focused on poverty, health, education, and climate. Conspiracy theories falsely attribute to it covert population control or sovereignty-undermining objectives not present in any UN documentation.
Mail-in voting is rigged
FalseThe claim that mail-in voting is systematically fraudulent or rigged is not supported by evidence. Decades of data from states that conduct elections primarily by mail show fraud rates that are infinitesimally small, and multiple independent studies find no systematic evidence of mail ballot fraud.
Migrants receive more benefits than locals
FalseThe claim that immigrants receive more welfare and public benefits than native-born citizens is contradicted by the weight of evidence across multiple countries. In the United States, immigrants consume on average 24% less in welfare and entitlement benefits than native-born Americans on a per capita basis.
Soros pays protesters
FalseThe recurring claim that billionaire philanthropist George Soros directly pays protesters to attend demonstrations has not been supported by any credible evidence across multiple independent investigations. While Soros's Open Society Foundations fund civil society organizations, no evidence demonstrates that funds were directed to compensate individual protesters.
The Great Reset
MixedThe 'Great Reset' is a real public initiative launched by the World Economic Forum in 2020 to promote sustainable post-pandemic economic recovery. However, widespread conspiracy theories attribute to it covert goals, such as abolishing private property or installing a world government, that are not reflected in any WEF documents or credible evidence.
WHO takes control of countries
FalseWHO has no authority to impose health measures, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, or any policies on sovereign countries. Both the International Health Regulations (IHR) and the pandemic accord explicitly affirm national sovereignty and state that WHO recommendations to member states are non-binding.
