Suddenly there's a coordinated attack against George News. So here's an interesting read for you all, from 4.6.2020:
Q= Where did the pics from the military hospital ship come from?
Q = Did they "steal" them from someone else?
Q = HOW did they get them?
Here's a thread with a lot of research I did.
There was a "Marcus Goldfinch" who was a contributor to George Magazine back in the 90's. This lunatic "Tim Ozmon" seems to believe that this low-rate actor by the same name is Q and owns/operates George News . . . Strange . . .
Here is my issue with this kind of post: You didn't even try to do an honest research. The source is the same source the mod pointed to on the sticky.

I haven't make a decision on the subject, but there are reasons to be skeptical.
Ps. It only took a few of the words in the photo to find the article. Seriously my search was : sailor treat a patient USS Mercy Apr 2. Found the source immediatelly.
Then why would GeorgeNews tell us to use TinEye to look up the pictures, when they fully knew we would find that website eventually? Doesn't make sense at all, because like right now, they're being exposed for being "fraudulent Paytriots" and if this wasn't their intention, then what is?
I think most people don't verify.
But who knows why? Maybe you should ask them?
That's a bit ridiculous, in this time and day of technology, people don't verify? Evspra just verified it and I'm sure half of the people here did thus far as well as in the GeorgeNews chats.
If I were to do something like that, while not wanting anyone to know that I pulled these images off one of the prominent websites that could possibly get me arrested and/or sued, I wouldn't say something like, "Use TinEye on the pictures!"
I'd be receiving a lot of backlash like GeorgeNews is getting right now.
I don't know but I'm just on the fence here because all of this feels weird and off to me. I understand Evspra's explanation and concern that GN may be fake/LARP'ing for monetary reasons but the stuff they said, especially the TinEye thing, feels like they're not really LARP'ing. They'd be dumb to provoke people into doing something that could bust them wide open with TinEye, but that's just me.
Not only that but with the videos being pulled off that website, GeorgeNews have their "watermark" info on the videos so that would be copyright infringement, unless GeorgeNews got the permission to do so?
I don't get why are you upset? The link above prove that there was another article with the same picture with the same date. So, why nobody caught it? I do not know.
