What Readers Say About SPR

What readers say about SPR (Alamy)

Published: March 2024

The good, the bad, the ugly. Uncensored. Unforgiving.

Editor’s pick

  • “This anonymously published not-Swiss no-Research site of unknown funding sources, publishes a lot of “anti-establishment” info copied from elsewhere — none of it its own “research” — designed to ensnare readers: against the Covid farce, against the genocide in Gaza, all low-hanging fruit. All copy and paste. This is meant to give it credibility to push poisonous garbage like the one you are pushing [about Moscow].”

Media reports

For some reason, SPR is not very popular with establishment media outlets.

  • “A Gateway into the ‘Pro Russian Ecosystem’” (British Byline Times)
  • “A fake news website” (Wikipedia, written by FBI informant Mason P. from Dallas, TX)
  • “Proceed with caution: This website severely violates basic journalistic standards.” (NewsGuard)
  • “A moderate conspiracy website with poor sources and complete lack of transparency” (MBFC)
  • “Known for its dubious reporting” (Swiss Federal Intelligence Service FIS)
  • “A propaganda tool” (German public broadcaster ARD)

Moscow terrorist attack

Pro-Russia and pro-Putin partisans clearly didn’t like our analysis.

Negative

  • “What has Putin up his sleeve?”
  • “An excellent analysis as always”
  • “The remarkably well-connected and ‘academic’ SPR”
  • “When you’ve seen one, you see ’em all. When mannequins lay strewn in tomato ketchup, when footage is grainy & the nos 3-22 hang limp in the air, we have the hallmarks of a #FalseFlag.”

Ukraine War

Pro-Nato and pro-Russia partisans don’t like our Ukraine reports very much.

Negative

  • “SWPRS – just another NATO globalist trumpet?”
  • “I’ve seen spooks claim it’s a highbrow Russian op.”
  • “A Russian puppet, garbage propaganda channel.”
  • “A Kremlin amplifier. I suspect there’s some intelligence direction involved.”
  • “A front for the CIA”

Positive

  • “Probably the most objective source on the war in Ukraine.”

  • “I think you have joined the MSM [mainstream media] and are now abusing the confidence that you have built up in the past two years, to spread half-truths just like them.”
  • “Looks like SWPRS has become part of the false propaganda machine.”

Positive

  • “How the history should be written on covid.”
  • “Absolutely superb collection of facts about #covid19”
  • “This is the closest to the truth I’ve seen regarding coronavirus.”
  • “Back in the day any online reference to it would get you digitally assassinated!”
  • “A really mature and balanced analysis of covid and vaccines. Highly recommended.”
  • “A miracle: a genuinely balanced, open-minded, informative summary of the range of evidence on Covid vaccines. A must-read.”
  • “SPR showed the true risk early on. With that knowledge, the panic-mongering was revealed.”
  • “Swiss Policy Research published much of this in the first half of 2020. () It was and is one of the few places to find truthful information, actual data, and cited sources.”

  • “An incredible story, essential viewing, opens your eyes.” (Magnitsky Act)
  • “After watching both the Manchester Arena doc & this brilliant forensically detailed analysis of the ”Boston marathon bombing aftermath”, the default position ought to be that these kinds of events are staged until proven otherwise.”
