It spoofs known media websites with a Russian propaganda twist – calling for an end of support for Ukraine or peace negotiations dictated by Russian terms. They use some facts, take them out of context and mix them with falsehoods. Targets are Germany, France, and Israel. 
This new stage went a step further and additionally spoofed official government websites. They spoofed the website of the German BMI, intending to stoke resentment against Ukrainian refugees. We found forged documents with the branding of the BMI as well.

Did Abraham Lincoln see his #Doppelganger?
When glancing at the mirror one evening, Lincoln noticed a double image of his face but one looked a lot more creepy & distorted than the other.
Confused, he got up to get a closer look but the image vanished.

Later that evening he was lying down when he noticed the illusion again, but this time the second face was "five shades paler". Getting up for a second glance, the image disappeared the same as before.
He tried over & over to recreate the optical illusion but couldn't.

After seeing the spooky visions Lincoln had a nightmare in which he went into the lower level of the White House to see it was set up for a funeral.
When he asked who the funeral was for, he was told the president had been murdered.
Weeks later Lincoln was assassinated.
