Le Forum économique mondial déclare que les États-Unis doivent mettre en œuvre la « politique de l'enfant unique » pour les familles blanches.
Publisher’s rating: Cette affirmation est fausse. Le Forum économique mondial a démenti, par l'intermédiaire d'un porte-parole, avoir jamais formulé cette idée. Il n'existe par ailleurs aucune preuve que le WEF ait mené une telle campagne et ait publié un quelconque tweet en ce sens.
L’allégation examinée est que le Forum économique mondial (WEF) aurait voulu imposer aux familles blanches des États-Unis une politique de l’enfant unique, dans le cadre d’une campagne appelée « One America, one child ». L’enquête de la dpa situe l’origine de cette affirmation dans un article de Newspunch, qui lui attribuait des objectifs de promotion de la diversité, de réduction des inégalités et d’apaisement des tensions politiques. Le texte précise que Newspunch ne citait aucune source fiable pour étayer ses propos. La dpa indique avoir sollicité le WEF. Son porte-parole, Yann Zopf, a répondu que l’organisation n’avait jamais tenu de tels propos ni publié de message en ce sens sur Twitter. La vérification a aussi cherché des traces de la campagne : l’enquête rapporte qu’aucun élément la prouvant n’apparaissait sur le site officiel du WEF et qu’une recherche avancée sur Twitter n’avait donné aucun résultat probant. L’article examine également la capture d’écran présentée à l’appui de la rumeur, censée montrer un tweet du WEF affirmant que « l’Amérique doit réduire sa population caucasienne ». Selon la dpa, ce prétendu tweet n’apparaissait nulle part. L’enquête relève enfin que Newspunch n’apportait pas de source fiable et que les médias crédibles ne faisaient pas état de la campagne, sauf pour signaler son caractère trompeur. Ensemble, le démenti direct du WEF et l’absence de traces retrouvées dans les recherches décrites ne corroborent donc pas l’affirmation.

Video showing a civilian questioning US President Joe Biden
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The claim concerns a video of Joe Biden being questioned by a civilian and presents the encounter as one involving Biden in his capacity as US President. FACTLY reports that the video does show Biden being confronted, but says the setting and timing change the meaning of the clip: Biden was campaigning for the presidency, not serving as President when the encounter happened. To identify the incident, FACTLY says it searched Google using relevant keywords and found news reports about the same video. It dates the confrontation to a campaign event in Oakland, California, on 3 March 2020, and identifies the questioner as Michael Thurman, a war veteran. The review describes the confrontation as involving an anti-war group and Biden’s past support for the Iraq war. The key distinction is therefore not whether a civilian questioned Biden—the review says that happened—but whether he was President at the time. FACTLY states that Biden was campaigning for the presidential election then, and concludes that presenting the footage as showing the President being questioned is misleading.

WEF will Ein-Kind-Politik in USA einführen, um weiße Bevölkerung zu reduzieren
Publisher’s rating: Nein. Es gibt keinerlei Beweise dafür, dass das WEF für die Einführung einer Ein-Kind-Politik geworben hat.
The claim concerned reports attributed to the sites Unwiderlegbarefakt and Newspunch that the World Economic Forum (WEF) wanted a one-child policy in the United States, allegedly applying specifically to white families to promote diversity. The dpa review explains that the sites presented the policy as a WEF demand, but found no corresponding announcement on the WEF website. The review also reports that WEF spokesperson Yann Zopf told dpa’s Dutch fact-checking desk by email that the organization had never commented on introducing a one-child policy for white people. The purported WEF post shown in an image accompanying the article could not be found, including in archived versions of the WEF’s Twitter timeline; the WEF likewise said it had not written such a post. As further checks, dpa reports that a Google News search found no results on reputable news sites for the alleged demand, despite the claim that mainstream media had been instructed to promote it. The review notes that the story linked to a 2015 article quoting a professor who did not reject a one-child policy in principle, but says that this does not establish WEF support for the claimed U.S. policy. It concludes that the allegation connecting the WEF to a plan to limit white people’s reproduction had no apparent basis.
Deutschland wurde nie als souveräner Staat gegründet. Entsprechend gibt es keine legitimen Beamten, Gesetzgeber oder Wahlen. Das geht aus Aussagen des Politikers und Staatsrechtlers Carlo Schmid, der «obersten Richter», sowie aus den «SHAEF-Gesetzen» hervor. Alle Corona-Verordnungen haben damit also auch keinerlei Rechtsgrundlage und hätten (...) nicht beschlossen werden dürfen.
Publisher’s rating: Eindeutig falsch. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist ein 1949 gegründeter, seit 1991 endgültig souveräner, international anerkannter Staat. Die Aussagen des Politikers und Staatsrechtlers Carlo Schmid und des Bundesverfassungsgerichts werden kontextlos und falsch interpretiert.
