What do fact-checkers care?

Less than a year ago, German propaganda titled: „Debate about Imane Khelif: Transphobic disinformation at the Olympics.“

We currently find it (still) at tagesschau.de, 09.08.2024 and for safety also archived.

And it was not just the „usual“ propaganda that published this title and the subsequent salad of propaganda lingo. It was the „fact-checker.“

If the lie is the true mental ruler of Germany, the fact-checker is its personal bodyguard.

That was the point: At the 2024 Olympics, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif competed. However, Khelif registered as a woman. And so some completely mentally broken officials could delight in how a man publicly beat up women.

„Lived as a woman?“

Tagesschau claimed that Khelif was „born and registered as a woman,“ and had „lived her life as a woman.“

This lie from the elite squad of German propaganda is easily disproven: Khelif is sometimes carried on the shoulders by his Algerian coach after victories (@HeatherEHeying, 03.06.2025). There are numerous pictures where Algerian men warmly congratulate him and celebrate with him.

It is utterly unimaginable that Algerian men would practice such closeness with a person that anyone in their acquaintance could even remotely assume to be a woman.

No one with a spark of honesty could really believe that a woman Imane Khelif was publicly congratulated with a kiss by teammate Mustapha Berraf and was patted on the chest (@RoisinMichaux, 09.08.2024). It is all a „PsyOp,“ a public exercise in establishing obvious nonsense as „truth.“

In fact, the only „evidence“ that Khelif is a man is the entry in the passport. Khelif is „not even“ a „trans woman.“ If a clearly male person were to try to pass as a woman in Algeria, it could possibly be a death sentence, at least socially.

Now, a year later, it is „leaked“ what everyone could see all along. According to a medical report (from 2023!), it is proven that Imane Khelif is a biological man (telegraph.co.uk, 01.06.2025; tichyseinblick.de, 02.06.2025).

No, really?!

Ahem: It! Could! Everyone! See! That! He! Is! A! Man!

Everyone could see it, yet the propaganda wanted us to believe that our eyes were deceiving us – and presumably, that two plus two equals five.

Learning to ignore

In April 2024, I called out in the manner of essayists: „Leave Germany!“

I justified it back then with the self-determination law. According to that nonsense law, „anyone“ in Germany is a woman or a man who declares that they are.

This not only casually abolishes any promotion of women (for example, through a quota) and some protections (for example, in women’s saunas), as now everyone can declare themselves a woman.

It also imposes severe penalties if someone calls a man a man when he „wants“ to be called a woman. In the spirit of Orwell’s 1984, citizens are to learn to ignore what their eyes and minds tell them.

Strutting across the game board

I said „Leave Germany“ because a country where words no longer reliably carry meaning can logically only develop into a tyranny and a chaotic dictatorship. Both democracy and the rule of law presuppose that words mean something. Without reliable meaning in language, there can and will be neither law nor democracy.

The „self-determination law“ was merely the legal formulation for the propaganda state to abolish the reliability of the meaning of words. There are many more examples of the abolition of meaning and logic.

One example: Yesterday, TAZ editor Ulrike Herrmann was once again heard on state radio. And she spoke again of gross nonsense about migration and so on (see @dushanwegner, 04.06.2025). But instead of being laughed at once and ignored forever from then on, they actually try to refute her. Again and again! It is as promising as playing chess with a pigeon (the pigeon will knock over the pieces, strut across the board, and declare itself the winner). And yet they keep trying – why?

Followed along obediently

The „fact-checker“ was of course not alone with its crazy reports about Imane Khelif. The usual suspects in the propaganda state also followed along obediently.

Again, just as an example, the ever-unintentionally comical „Volksverpetzer“: „Fact check: Imane Khelif is a cis woman“ (archive). Heartwarming stories about Mr. Khelif’s childhood follow – as a girl, of course.

So has the Imane Khelif lie of (not only) German propaganda been exposed and failed?

No, unfortunately not.

A cynic might say: The purpose of such obvious bullshit presented as „fact“ is simply to keep the sheep mentally occupied while they are being skinned alive.

The citizen is mentally busy discussing whether this gentleman is a woman. The citizen has no mental strength left to resist when bearded Syrians are sold as „youths“ and „refugees.“ When Annalena Baerbock is sold as serious. When it is supposed to make sense that the unvaccinated are somehow to blame for the vaccinated and boosted getting long COVID. When Germany de-industrializes to save the world climate. And so on.

Still mean something.

Do not think that the revelation of the obvious truth regarding Mr. Khelif is a defeat for the fact-checkers, journalists, and paid liars. They have achieved their purpose – they have captured attention so that the powerful can advance their projects.

For these people, structures are relevant that include neither truth nor your well-being. Their words are worthless garbage that is dumped in a large, stinking pile over the country. Manure that is pumped via TV into the living rooms of the nation.

It has never been more important than today to be aware of your relevant structures.

Ponder and think. Try out thoughts. Name your relevant structures, and do so in complete sentences that you can use to test yourself.

Put into words what is truly important to you – words that still mean something.
