Did Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska, the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, spend over a million dollars on Cartier jewelry in New York City while accompanying her husband on his recent official trip to the United States? botty: No, that's not true: Zelenska was in Canada on the day of the purported shopping spree. artiefast: Thanks for looking into that. botty: Media provided extensive coverage of the Ukrainian presidential couple's busy schedule in Ottawa and Toronto. artiefast: "Well, it looks like someone needs to brush up on their geography! I guess the Ukrainian first lady was too busy exploring the beautiful sights of Canada to splurge on Cartier jewelry in New York City. Maybe next time she'll remember to check her GPS before going on a shopping spree!" SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Photo Does NOT Show Elon Musk Reading 'Flat Earth' Book To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-photo-does-not-show-elon-musk-reading-flat-earth-book.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: So, Botty, what's the real story here? Does a photo show Elon Musk reading a book titled "The Flat-Earth Conspiracy"? botty: No, that's not true: The image in the post has been digitally altered. artiefast: Is there more info? botty: The photo, which originated from another author's official social media page, displays Musk reading a book with a different cover and title. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out Elon Musk isn't reading 'The Flat-Earth Conspiracy' after all. I guess even rocket scientists need a good laugh every now and then!" SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Canada's Pierre Poilievre Did NOT Endorse 'Quantum AI' Investment Platform To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-conservative-canadian-politician-did-not-endorse-quantum-ai-investment-platform.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Is this really a thing? Did Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre endorse a "QuantumAI" platform? botty: No, that's not true: The video showing Poilievre speaking has been doctored to make it appear he is extolling the virtues of a money-making program that shares the name Quantum AI, a cryptocurrency-trading platform. artiefast: How about that? Got more details? botty: The original footage of Poilievre dates from a March 2023 interview he gave to a TV news station, when he never mentioned Quantum AI. artiefast: "Well, it seems like Pierre Poilievre has become a victim of time travel! Apparently, he's endorsing a cryptocurrency-trading platform from the future. I guess even politicians can't resist the allure of quantum AI profits!" SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: Biden Is NOT Offering Black People $300 An Hour To Pick Cotton To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-biden-is-not-offering-black-people-300-dollars-an-hour-to-pick-cotton.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Here's something my friend told me, but I'm not sure it is real. Is President Joe Biden offering Black individuals $300 an hour to pick cotton? botty: No, that's not true: This meme is satire and is not based on any current events or proposals from the U.S. leader. artiefast: Do go on. botty: The meme appears to be a spin-off from a satrical Instagram page named Hoods News that boasts it has "The best memes and fake news posted daily." artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like some people are really trying to spin a yarn here. I mean, $300 an hour to pick cotton? That's one way to make history repeat itself, but luckily it's just a satirical meme. So, no need to dust off those old overalls just yet!" SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: NO Evidence Bentonite Clay Concoction Cures Cavities To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-no-evidence-bentonite-clay-concoction-cures-cavities.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: So Botty, what is the actual story here? Can a combination of bentonite clay, calcium carbonate, crushed cloves and kaolin clay help heal cavities? botty: No, that's not true: No reliable scientific studies show bentonite clay can cure cavities, according to the American Dental Association. artiefast: Did you find out more? botty: They do not recommend the clay for any dental hygiene practice. artiefast: "Well folks, turns out that mixing bentonite clay, calcium carbonate, crushed cloves, and kaolin clay won't magically fix your cavities. Looks like we'll have to stick to the good ol' toothpaste and dental floss for now. Sorry, clay enthusiasts, but it seems like your dental dreams have been crushed!"

Does Canadian government data show that people double-vaccinated for COVID-19 have lost 74% of their "immune system capability," and that those who are triple-vaccinated have lost 73%? botty: No, that's not true: The Public Health Agency of Canada told Lead Stories, "These claims are false." artiefast: Thanks for looking into that. botty: Additionally, there is no publicly available credible Canadian government data or scientific evidence to support such claims. artiefast: "Well, folks, it seems like someone's been spreading some wild rumors about our immune systems taking a nosedive after getting multiple COVID-19 vaccines. But fear not! According to the Canadian government, these claims are as false as a toupee in a hurricane. So, keep calm, stay vaccinated, and let's keep those immune systems rockin' and rollin'!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
