During a United Nations Security Council meeting on Friday, April 5, 2024, a powerful earthquake shook the room, causing chaos and panic among the delegates. A video capturing the moment when the earthquake hit has since gone viral, showing the intense shaking and the reactions of those present.
Amidst the chaos, a startling claim emerged on social media the day before the earthquake. A Facebook post shared images of a document titled “United Nations Directive 001,” which allegedly outlined plans for the creation of a ‘one world government’ in 2025. The document called for the renaming and merging of countries, the banning of religion, and placing the U.S. military under U.N. control, with dire consequences for those who resist.
However, the United Nations quickly debunked the claim, stating that the document was completely fabricated. Farhan Haq, a U.N. spokesperson, confirmed that there was no such directive and that the document was riddled with typos and misinformation. The U.N. emphasized that there is no credible evidence to support the existence of such a document or the claims made in it.
This incident serves as a reminder of the power of misinformation on social media and the importance of fact-checking before sharing information. As the world grapples with the challenges of disinformation and fake news, it is crucial to verify sources and seek out reliable information to avoid spreading false claims.
