History

The Creative Society, founded in 2019, is an international initiative associated with the AllatRa global public movement, a Ukrainian spiritual organization AllatRa, which has been criticized for promoting pseudoscience and conspiracy theories, including claims about secretive elites and alien involvement. The movement’s spiritual leader, Igor Mikhailovich Danilov, a chiropractor, is prominently featured in Creative Society media despite the group claiming to have no leaders. The BBC reports that AllatRa has been labeled an “occult para-religious organization” by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and a “psychocult” by the Russian Orthodox Church.

Funded by / Ownership

The Creative Society states that it is funded entirely by volunteers. However, its financial structure is unclear, making these claims difficult to verify. Additionally, its strong connections to the AllatRa movement, known for promoting pseudoscience and conspiracy theories, raise concerns about possible financial ties.

Analysis / Bias

The Creative Society is an international initiative claiming to foster societal improvement through global collaboration. However, it has faced significant criticism for its ties to the AllatRa movement, described by the Ukrainian Security Service (SSU) as a “pseudo-religious sect” engaged in pro-Russian propaganda and subversive activities (2023).

The Creative Society claims on its About page to focus on addressing the global climate crisis by studying its causes and searching for solutions through international collaboration. However, it frequently promotes pseudoscientific claims and conspiracy-driven narratives contradicting its stated mission. The following sections will explore examples of these contradictions.

For example, the Scientific Community section dismisses the anthropogenic causes of climate change, asserting that climate change is driven by cosmic and geological factors, which aligns with climate change denial. The platform also claims to provide “truthful information” but relies on unverifiable statements, such as framing global climate events as part of an inevitable and catastrophic astronomical cycle.

Additionally, the Creative Society’s videos, like the “New Climate Report,” employ hyperbolic language to elicit fear, with phrases like “4,200 seconds of the truth you won’t see anywhere else” and “Your life tomorrow depends on your responsibility today.” Such content lacks peer-reviewed evidence and appeals to emotions rather than presenting credible scientific data.

External reporting, such as from the BBC, has identified the Creative Society as closely tied to the AllatRa movement, known for its conspiracy theories and esoteric claims. This connection further undermines the group’s credibility and suggests a broader agenda focused on disseminating misleading information under the guise of social activism.

In summary, the Creative Society promotes conspiracy theories, particularly in climate change, and uses sensationalist language to attract attention. Its content is not rooted in factual evidence, raising significant concerns about its reliability and intentions.

Failed Fact Checks

Overall, we rate the Creative Society as a right-biased pseudoscience and conspiracy-oriented organization. It claims to be a global, volunteer-driven initiative but promotes pseudoscience and conspiracy theories and lacks transparency, with ties to the AllatRa movement, labeled a “pseudo-religious sect” by the Ukrainian Security Service.
