In reporting a piece that involves Candace Owens, I reached out to her for comment, and to give her an opportunity to respond to my questions, including by correcting anything I might have gotten wrong. Instead of responding, Candace turned my outreach into content, attempting (and failing) to troll me. Also, for the record, I don't live in Tel Aviv. Even the most cursory click on my X "About" would reveal that's flatly inaccurate. (Yes, facts do still matter!) Anyways, the reporting will continue.

“The narrative has become ‘Iran is not a threat to America.’ What the f*ck are they talking about?” I sat down with David Keyes one of world’s foremost figures in countering authoritarian propaganda, to discuss how Iran seeded a deep, insidious narrative in the US to run interference for its imperial Islamist ambitions and genocidal intent.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making you think he was an organic social media response to current issues rather than an Islamist terror-linked propaganda network with command-and-control procedures, extensive coordination, and a content pipeline to Reddit, Inc. Rooted in the r/Palestine subreddit, the network launders terrorist messaging from Hamas, Hezbollah, and other US-designated terror groups into mainstream platforms—and Reddit is at the center of it. A web of radical activist moderators belonging to the network controls over 100 subreddits, including some of the largest non-political communities on the platform. This includes r/Documentaries (20M members) to r/PublicFreakout (4.7M) The network's activities extend deep into X Quora Wikipedia and other major platforms. Known as "data poisoning," this effort is aimed at manipulating search results, AI models, and online discourse at scale. #reddit Pirate Wires
