1/ Evolve Politics is a fake news site that serves up conspiracy theories and disinformation. They promote ideas such as Israel being behind ISIS & being responsible for the Novichok attack in Salisbury. #SFFN

2/ Evolve Politics give platforms to prominent conspiracy theorists, one of whom is 9/11 Truther Annie Machon. They cited her in a piece questioning whether Russia was behind the Salisbury chemical weapons attack #SFFN

3/ Evolve shared a video to its Facebook page which sought to absolve the Nazis of blame for the Holocaust. Neo-Nazi sites like far-right conspiracist site, Veterans Today, also shared this video. h/t @supergutman #SFFN

4/ In an article, “What the government isn’t telling you about Novichok,” Evolve named Israel as a “county of interest”. They also approvingly quoted & linked to a blog suggesting Israel may have been behind Salisbury #SFFN

5/ In a Facebook post Evolve coyly promoted the idea Israel is behind ISIS. It was posted 4 days after the ISIS Paris terror attacks that killed 130 and wounded 494. At the time, this conspiracy theory was also being promoted by David Icke & Russia Today. #SFFN

6/ After we tweeted that image, we saw that Evolve had deleted it. Which is strange because they also defended it. #SFFN

7/ Evolve also give platforms to other conspiracy theorists. The blog on Salisbury, mentioned above, is by Craig Murray, who later claimed the Russian agents were, in fact, gay bodybuilder tourists: literally the Kremlin's line. #SFFN

8/ Evolve Politics have also promoted the claim that chemical attacks by Bashar Assad are staged & the White Helmets, who enter war zones to save victims of terror, are staging attacks. This is putting rescuers' lives at risk. Again, it's the Kremlin line. #SFFN

9/ The truth doesn’t appear to be Evolve Politics’ main concern. In a Facebook messenger conversation leaked by an ex-colleague, Evolve’s editor appears to request that a journalist invent a quote to give a story a more clickable headline. #SFFN
