Spam and Scams Proliferate in Facebook’s Political Ads

"The ads are a lucrative part of Facebook’s advertising revenue that, the project’s researchers and others say, has led the company to turn a blind eye to a flood of low-quality or deceptive content, spam and in some cases outright fraud on the platform."

In a new talk posted to YouTube of a weekly video chat with a MAHA nonprofit organization, CMS Director Dr. Oz said that it "may ... be true" that "the [COVID] vaccine should never have been made."

A far-right sheriffs organization says Trump “border czar” Tom Homan is sending a representative to its upcoming conference

Scoop:

Richard Mack, the leader of a far-right sheriffs group, told multiple far-right podcasts in late September that Tom Homan said he would send at least a member of his staff to the organization’s upcoming national conference. Homan said he'd "run it past" Trump if he could come himself too.

Evidence of @Qanon76 promoting QAnon.

Last night, Trump amplified 2 QAnon-promiting accounts a total of 3 times. One of the accounts had "qanon" right in its handle.

In a new appearance on the QAnon-affiliated podcast X22 Report, Eric Trump (who has been on the podcast multiple times now) told the host that "independent voices like yours & the Joe Rogans of the world" have "massively filled a void."

In a new interview on a right-wing podcast, far-right conspiracy theorist Ivan Raiklin — known for his "Pence Card" claim leading up to January 6 — said he's "personally communicated & ... compared notes" with certain GOP members of Congress, including a member of the new GOP J6 House Committee.

In response to Trump posting this video about medbeds, multiple users in far-right & QAnon spaces online saw it as confirmation of the false conspiracy theory, writing that they hoped Trump was announcing medbeds that could be used to help their loved ones.

Musk’s X is ‘go-to platform’ for antisemitism, study finds | CNN Business The new year-long study found that X’s content restrictions are not having much effect on antisemitic content.

In a new podcast interview, anti-vax figure Sherri Tenpenny said her family "used to sit around the kitchen table talking about [the] New World Order & the Illuminati &, you know, Council for Foreign Relations & all that stuff when I was a kid."

It appears that the video had been previously posted elsewhere on social media before Trump amplified it.

The post has now been deleted.

(And yes, the video appears to be AI. That is not what a Fox News chyron looks like, for one thing.)

Yes.

Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Rachel Chandler." She is quote tweeting a post from James O'Keefe: "WORLD EXCLUSIVE BOMBSHELL: Senior DOJ Epstein Investigator Reveals ‘Epstein Was CIA’ — Confirms ‘R-pes Occurred While Bill Clinton Was on the Plane’ — Says of President Trump, "He’s Protecting a Lot of Other People… He’s Not Protecting Himself, Because There’s Nothing There" "I’ve interviewed all the victims, There's never been an instance where Trump was on a plane with these kids and the r-pes occurred. But that can't be said for Clinton. And it can't be said for others." “They [DOJ] didn't want to go after him [Epstein] because he's an asset for the United States and Israel” "It's not talked about yet but, it's soon to come out that he [Epstein] was a CIA informant.""

Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has claimed to have renounced her past QAnon support, last night invoked a figure who's been (baselessly) accused of being connected to Epstein specifically by the QAnon community & who has been invoked in multiple Q posts. www.dailydot.com/news/qanon-r...

TikTok Shop is selling supplements made by Plandemic filmmaker

New from @abbierichards.bsky.social, based in part on research I provided:

TikTok Shop is now selling supplements from a company co-founded by "Plandemic" conspiracy theorist Mikki Willis.

The company claims the supplements “bulletproof your immune system,” likely in violation of TikTok rules.

4chan troll campaign tried to block Indians from flying to the US amid Trump's H-1B change (Alex Kaplan/Media Matters for America)

This appears to have been the most successful 4chan operation in a while, & was reminiscent of past years when 4chan's efforts extended elsewhere into the right & caused potential offline harms.

4chan's "Operation Clog the Toilet"

Thread on TheDonald pushing the 4chan campaign

Telegram channel pushing the 4chan campaign and urging followers to "act now" on it.

The 4chan campaign, called "Clog the Toilet," attempted to “clog the flight reservation system” to prevent Indians from coming to the U.S. before Trump's policy implementation. It was subsequently embraced by other forums like TheDonald, Twitter users, & far-right Telegram channels.

4chan troll campaign tried to block Indians from flying to the US amid Trump’s H-1B change

Far-right trolls on 4chan attempted to block Indians from flying to the US amid Trump’s H-1B change.

The campaign spread widely among the far-right on multiple platforms, garnering thousands of shares.

My latest:

Accounts @BarronTnews & @RedLineReportt on X: "🚨BREAKING: Julian Assange is reportedly seeking a meeting with President Trump to expose further corruption among Democrat elites in Congress and both the Obama and Biden Administrations. Should Trump grant this meeting? YES or NO?"

Michael Flynn quote tweeting @BarronTnews: "Yes … 💯 there is only an upside for America to gain here. Why wouldn’t he meet with him? And he should give Assange total amnesty. Who the hell does he threaten except those that have tried to destroy America."

Instagram account sharing an image of the same Assange tweet text.

Tweet from May with nearly the exact same Assange tweet text.

Trump appointee & former national security advisor Michael Flynn helped boost a false claim about Julian Assange & Trump that has gotten thousands of shares & likes in recent days. The hoax has gone around for months.

Well looks like they met for this — Ed Martin sent a letter to the FBI agent who testified during Alex Jones trial about seeing the Sandy Hook children dead. Martin asked if the agent had a financial incentive.

The rest is hard to parse. Martin wrote asking to keep the letter private.

Thank you!

In an interview this month with James Corbett — a Sandy Hook & 9/11 conspiracy theorist who's called Hitler "a Rothschild" (www.mediamatters.org/diversity-di...) — Ron Johnson told Corbett he was "the expert on" 9/11 & that Johnson's friend had been "sending me the best of" Corbett's podcast.

cool, ed martin (whose path to be us atty for dc was blocked and who now ostensibly runs doj's "weaponization" probe) is hanging out with alex jones

MJ Truth: "Wanted to share a moment I had with Charlie Kirk I will always remember. He liked my work enough following the election to ask me if I was looking for work. Out of all the people to ask me.. he did.. and it’s just an extreme honor he even asked me. With my career at the time, wife, baby almost here… it wasn’t something I could do. I also had this strong moral dilemma within not to work for anyone in any capacity when it came to politics in an effort to be transparent with everyone, no matter how good the opportunity was. Now… I really wish I would have. Just to have had the opportunity to work with him." Includes an image of apparent DMs from Kirk in November 2024 saying "I just want to save the country" and "Appreciate that honesty. You looking for work by chance?"

Days ago, QAnon figure MJTruth posted what they claimed were DMs from Charlie Kirk in November 2024 asking MJTruth if they were "looking for work."

Christopher Blair, A.K.A. Busta Troll, a man who has made a career out of trolling conservatives on Facebook by tricking them into liking and sharing fake content (that often got picked up and repeated by spam networks, influencers, etc.), just posted this.
