In the Summer of 2017, “a fake Julian Assange account was the most influential contributor to the #Antifa hashtag (as measured by engagement), & both Roger Stone…& Nigel Farage were also among the top influencers…” by @RVAwonk, 9/1/17 #RogerStone 1/ medium.com/arc-digital/ho…
2/ “The third most influential contributor to the #Antifa hashtag was one of the many fake Antifa accounts (BevHillsAntifa) created in the spring and summer of 2017.”
3/ Moreover, within the same four-hour window (4pm-8pm) on 8/27/17, “Antifa went from ninth place to sixth place among the most frequently used hashtags within the sample of 600 accounts linked to Russian influence campaigns.” 👀

6/ There was even a petition in 2017 to designate “Antifa” as a terrorist organization. Until now, I thot the 1st such petition was the one circulated by Roger Stone’s miscreants (Jacob Engels & Enrique Tarrio) in 2019. I wonder if Stone’s miscreants started the one in 2017 too.
7/ Twitter permanently suspended Stone in October 2017, so his surrogates (esp. Jack Posobiec and the Proud Boys) mostly took over the Twitter “Antifa” messaging from there. thewrap.com/roger-stone-tw…
8/ In parts 2 & 3 of my Roger Stone and His Miscreants series, I also discuss the propaganda campaign against anti-fascism. jennycohn1.medium.com/roger-stone-th…
10/ It is no coincidence that Roger Stone and his miscreants later tried to blame Jan 6 on “Antifa.” This was a long campaign of psychological warfare. And it is ongoing.

“As of three weeks ago, 172 of these individuals [pardoned by Trump] had pled guilty to assaulting law enforcement. By their own admission, they assaulted police. About 140 officers were injured, including Officer Brian Sicknick, who died the following day. Four officers who responded that day have since died by suicide.” 1/25/25 (Link in post 2.)

Trump has picked Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK & who performed the Nazi salute on video (in apparent defense of Elon Musk). 1/
MAGA’s favorite White South African activist group—Afriforum—admitted last year that “there is no white genocide going on in South Africa.”
(In 2018, Afriforum had traveled to the US to discuss their claim that White South African farmers were being murdered due to their race. They have since hobnobbed with Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, New Founding, CPAC, & NatCon.) 1/
The Center for Renewing America—founded by Trump’s OMB Director pick Russ Vought, a top architect of Project 2025—has *explicitly* said that it wants the federal govt to “eliminate” Obamacare’s life-saving Medicaid expansion. Here are some stats on the expansion. 1/ cbpp.org/research/healt…
