On a Saturday morning in May, 2020, #Italian police officers caught two men pouring chemical waste into the sewers in the southern port city of #Brindisi, near a small plane components factory

Five years on, that routine #pollution case has spiralled into a wide-ranging judicial investigation into how thousands of flawed #titanium and #aluminium parts manufactured in #Italy ended up in nearly 500 #Boeing787 jets still in use.

> This looks so dodgy

It's not unimaginable both the #CIA and Reuters would redily comply with any request from the American regime to leak and then publish an article.

Weapons of mass destruction anyone? (Confirmed liars)

So the Americans use #Germany and #Reuters' to post a "leak" perhaps because the yanks have lost all credibility in this world, (except for Putin's #Russia)

A 2020 DE assesment (no significant research since then?) is privately shared in late 2024 with CIA.

In Jan 2025 the Trump-controlled CIA publically releases a similar report.

And in March 2025 the DE report is leaked, and it being shared with the CIA is leaked, to DE newspapers.

And now #Reuters publish an article missing salient details.

This looks so dodgy.

(I don't reject the lab leak theory. I object to dodgy journalism that looks suspicious.)

Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians as US steps up deportations

"In addition to the 240,000 Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion, and the 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans, these programs covered more than 70,000 Afghans escaping the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan."

>>Prosecutors said the group had a military-type structure, with judicial sources naming 101-year-old former army major general Radu Theodoru as a suspect.

Theodoru, a Holocaust denier who has repeatedly praised Romania's fascist World War Two leadership, said in a recorded interview with his daughter posted on his Facebook page that he believed the current government represented "an anti-Romanian state, a system organised to rob this country".<<
