Do answers by Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa provide proof of the birth-certificate-bond conspiracy theory? botty: No, that's not true: Alexa produces answers gathered from a variety of sources, and in some instances can be gamed to provide inaccurate information. artiefast: Are there more details? botty: Amazon told Lead Stories that it was not able to duplicate the responses given in the social-media post about the birth-certificate-bond conspiracy theory. artiefast: Looks like Alexa's not spilling the tea on this conspiracy theory after all!

SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: 4,000 Israeli Employees Were NOT Warned Not To Go To Work On 9/11 -- Baseless Conspiracy Myth To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/02/fact-check-4000-israeli-employees-were-not-warned-not-to-go-to-work-on-911.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Is there more information about this next item? Did approximately 4,000 Israelis avoid the attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, because advance warning from an Israeli messaging service told them precisely when and where they would happen? botty: No, that's not true: These claims are the foundation of a baseless conspiracy theory that the 9/11 attacks were a Zionist false flag and the lecturer who makes this claim in a social-media video combines two real but unrelated news stories. artiefast: Aha! botty: He misrepresents one from The Jerusalem Post to establish an inflated number of Israelis who purportedly cheated death. He embellishes the other from Haaretz.com with false details to build a fake scenario where someone with advance knowledge of the attacks warned thousands of Israelis who did not pass that warning on to anyone else. artiefast: Remember, always fact-check before spreading conspiracy theories. Don't believe everything you hear on social media!

Was the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate Corps holding 345 Federal Emergency Management Agency employees at a U.S. Marine Corps Base in Hawaii as of February 2024? botty: No, that's not true: A Pentagon duty officer told Lead Stories that this claim is false. artiefast: Is there more? botty: The claim appeared in an article on a website that regularly publishes fabricated content. artiefast: Well, looks like someone needs to check their sources before spreading fake news!

But here's a question. Did American actress Angelina Jolie in 2024 call on the world to "unite against Israel"? botty: No, that's not true: Lead Stories found no evidence corroborating the claim. artiefast: You're so good at research! botty: This phrase has been falsely attributed to Jolie since at least 2006, according to Lead Stories' research.
