6. Even Ronald Reagan said "trust but verify" or was that Abraham Lincoln? ...

No he said...

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.”* Or did he?

Fact: It's estimated that more than 65% of the things that one reads on the internet are disinformation. That is the deliberate spreading of misinformation. But if you don't verify it first, then you're only guilty of spreading misinformation. It's the person who knows better but spreads it anyway who is a true and nefarious propagandist.

8. I know.

People are always attributing things to F. Scott Fitzgerald, and it's so blindingly clear he didn't say them,. because of how they're written.

10. But it did originate

on a Mandarin-speaking online message board on April 16, 2025.

And on April 17, 2025, the image was featured on a news report uploaded by a Taiwanese media company on Instagram.

So probably some Chinese influence there.

14. Appears to be true, never seen an article on DU about it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — China has agreed to purchase 25 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans annually as part of an agreement reached by its leaders, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday.

Bessent said China will start by purchasing 12 million metric tons of soybeans from the U.S. between now and January.
