Government involved conspiracy is a serious phrase, and it should only be used when the record can carry the weight.

They are old photos, recycled screenshots, cropped clips, or out of context pictures reposted with a fresh caption. That is why this method matters. It helps you track where an image came from,
Victim script is one of the oldest tricks in politics. Powerful people pretend they are the helpless ones.
