Russia says there was no lab accident and the situation is stable. Maybe. But when someone working at a plague research facility suddenly dies from mysterious pneumonia, possibly plague, and hospitals start locking down, “trust us, bro” isn’t going to cut it.

ruzia announced an outbreak of pneumonic plague following an accident at a bio-lab in Irkutsk, Siberia. We must immediately shut all ruzi borders and prevent this calamity from spreading & killing more people, especially children. As for the plague, a simple course of antibiotics will deal with it.

I mean, the polls weren't great for Lula and they aren't quite as bad for Bibi as we'd hope, but here in the US of A they are apocalyptic for Dear Leader and his minions. We should be worried about what can go wrong. But what evidence we have suggests things are going to go quite well.

"We create accounts with artificial intelligence that have a certain volume, a certain credibility, to use them afterwards in a defined strategy," Worked for: Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil Javier Milei in Argentina Nasry Asfura in Honduras Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia
Cerimedo told Infobae on 10 May 2023 that his team had created close to 50,000 fake accounts "just for Argentina". "We create accounts with artificial intelligence that have a certain volume, a certain credibility, to use them afterwards in a defined strategy," he said. He said his team had also "intervened with accounts that made comments" during Mauricio Macri's 2019 campaign. Infobae ran the interview under the headline: "We have some 50,000 artificially created accounts to generate content and influence the conversation on social media."
Eduardo Bolsonaro travelled to Buenos Aires in October 2022, between the two rounds of Brazil's presidential election, on a trip organised by Cerimedo's team, and recorded videos there for his father's campaign, Agência Pública reported. Eduardo's re-election campaign paid R$3,900 to Giovanni Larosa, a Cerimedo employee and La Derecha Diario correspondent, for propaganda work. On 4 November 2022, five days after Jair Bolsonaro lost, Cerimedo broadcast a livestream titled "Brazil Was Stolen" to more than 400,000 viewers. The hashtag #BrazilWasStolen went viral the same day, boosted by a cluster of newly created accounts, the Progressive International reported. Members of the plot to stop Lula taking office later cited Cerimedo's claims as evidence the election had been stolen.
Carlos Torres, the La Paz departmental prosecutor, said a search on 20 August 2026 of a property linked to Cerimedo found "a mini bot farm". Juan Santana, a Chilean opposition deputy, has asked Chile's electoral service whether Numen SpA, Cerimedo's Chilean company, appears in any campaign spending report, El Ciudadano reported. Gustavo Petro, Colombia's former president, has alleged that Cerimedo ran about two million fake profiles in Colombia's June 2026 presidential vote.
