    what in the everloving fuck is the SAND Institute? they make it sound like a legitimate organization, but literally the only mentions I can find of it anywhere are either quoting the BBC article or the article itself

    these fuckers can just outright make shit up and there’s going to be some rube who’ll buy it, zero questions asked

        lmao, I’m checking out the website with google translate and it’s absolutely breaking my CIA meter, this shit looks like one of these fake websites the CIA used as fronts for spies in Iraq

        look at their history section, lol

        also, in the SAND activities page, there’s a tab that goes into their vast social contribution:

        I know that google translate does not give perfect results, but this is hilarious to me lol a completely empty shell of an organization that just sprang up out of seemingly nowhere and somehow has enough credibility to be taken seriously by the BBC, the supposed bastions of quality journalism… get the fuck outta here
