Shades of late Soviet distractioneering, of the sort one would see in Pravda back in the day. Really disconcerting tbqh.

Is there a serious study of that somewhere, do you know?
“Operation Infektion” attempted to blame the emergence of HIV/AIDS in the 80s to biological weapon attacks by the US. There has been some coverage of the explosion in occult and ufo stories from TASS etc, such as “The New Age of Russia” compiled by Otto Sagner, but that work is more focused on historically documenting the phenomenon, rather than analyzing its causes.
Not my area of expertise, I should say!
Why do so many of you think this is some big distraction campaign? They have talked about this kind of thing before and people then made distraction allegations. Is there really any "distracting" going on? I still liberals going on and on about the Epstein files that they didn't care about under Biden. I think they know Democrats are still going to be talking about that, and "de-colonizing," talking about kings and fascism and all that. I think the whole UFO business is silly but I struggle to see it as some big conspiracy to distract it's not like it ever makes much of a difference one way or the other.
I would agree that it’s silly. So did former President Obama when he mocked the notion recently.
While motivating intent is always opaque to some extent, this would appear to be another form of a “flood the zone” approach, in my estimation.
Many officials who certainly know better are involved - let me put the question back to you: why do you think they’re using taxpayer dollars to fuel lies?
