Gezeigte Grafik mit Steuersätzen für Agrardiesel ist korrekt und aktuell.
Publisher’s rating: Irreführend. Die Angaben sind etwa 15 Jahre alt. Sie stimmen nicht mehr mit den heutigen Steuersätzen überein. Richtig ist allerdings, dass Deutschland bei den Steuern auf Agrardiesel im oberen Drittel der EU-Länder liegt.
Für den Kuchenverkauf in Schulen wird der Staat künftig Umsatzsteuer verlangen.
Publisher’s rating: Neue Steuern auf den Kuchenverkauf in Schulen, um die Klassenkasse etwas aufzufüllen, gibt es keine. Baden-Württemberg wollte eine EU-Richtlinie gegen Wettbewerbsverzerrung zwar zunächst streng auslegen, hat das aber zurückgenommen.
The review says there is no new tax on school cake sales to raise class funds. Baden-Württemberg initially took a stricter approach to an EU rule, but reversed course; the review says student groups organizing sales independently do not have to pay VAT.

Publisher’s rating: Falso
Claim by Bipartisan Report: Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden are the only Presidents in the last 50 years to reduce the deficit.
Publisher’s rating: Mostly True
The review says Clinton and Obama reduced the federal deficit over their terms, while Biden reduced it in his first fiscal year but had not yet been fully assessed over his overall term. It also says no Republican president achieved a net reduction over an entire term in the past 50 years.
Video of Anurag Thakur announcing the disbursement of pending Dearness Allowance (DA) arrears for the past 18 months, to central government employees
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
FACTLY reports that the video was digitally manipulated: audio announcing the arrears was added to footage of Thakur taking the oath as a Lok Sabha MP. The review says the government had not announced a release of the arrears.
La famille Rothschild possède presque toutes les banques centrales du monde.
Publisher’s rating: Non. Presque toutes les banques centrales du monde sont détenues en totalité ou en grande partie par l'Etat où elles sont implantées. Elles n'appartiennent pas à la famille Rothschild.
“The last year we have numbers for, the federal government took in the highest percentage of taxes from the economy since World War II.”
Publisher’s rating: False
"We had no inflation" during the Trump administration.
Publisher’s rating: Inaccurate
Florida tiene “el mayor costo de vida de cualquier estado del país”.
Publisher’s rating: Falso
De familie Rothschild controleert bijna elke centrale bank ter wereld.
Publisher’s rating: Bijna alle centrale banken wereldwijd zijn volledig of grotendeels in eigendom van de landen waar ze gevestigd zijn. Ze zijn niet in het bezit van de Rothschilds.
The review says nearly all central banks are wholly or largely owned by the countries where they are based, and rejects the claim that the Rothschilds own them. It notes that some central banks have non-state shareholders, but says those shareholders do not determine monetary policy.
“87,000 agentes del IRS yendo tras la [clase] media de Estados Unidos”.
Publisher’s rating: Engañoso
ශ්රී ලංකාවේ රුපියල් දස දහසේ මුදල් නෝට්ටුවේ භාවිතය පිළිබඳ ඇත්ත කතාව!
Publisher’s rating: Insight
A 10,000-rupee note was issued on October 15, 1947, but the review says it was intended only for interbank transactions, not public circulation. It therefore distinguishes the note’s issuance from the claim that ordinary people used it.

Sri Lanka Government Has Decided To Allow Motor Vehicle Importation !!
Publisher’s rating: Misleading
ශ්රී ලංකා රජය මෝටර් රථ ආනයනය කිරීම සඳහා අවසර දීමට තවමත් තීරණය කර නැහැ!
Publisher’s rating: Missing Context
The review says the government had not decided to authorize imports of vehicles with engine capacities between 1000cc and 1300cc. It reports that a committee had been appointed to examine the matter and that no decision would be made until its report was received.
Edeka, Lidl und Netto drohen Spediteuren mit Kündigung der Verträge, sollten sie sich an einem Streik am 8. Januar 2024 beteiligen.
Publisher’s rating: Für die Behauptung gibt es keine Belege. Über die drei genannten Unternehmen sind bei Branchenverbänden ausdrücklich keine Beschwerden eingegangen, auch wenn vereinzelt Spediteure generell von Kündigungsdrohungen berichteten. Die Supermarktketten selbst wiesen die Vorwürfe deutlich zurück.
The review found no evidence that Edeka, Lidl or Netto made the alleged threats. The companies denied making them; industry groups reported no complaints naming those retailers, although a logistics association said it had received some general complaints about termination threats.
