Ian MIles Cheong - A Malaysian Obsessed With The West (THREAD)

Ian was born and raised in Malaysia.

He lives in Malaysia.

However, he only concerns himself with western issues.

Weird, right?

In this thread we’ll explain the who, what and why in regards to Cheong.

1/11
Ian is Malaysian | Why Obsess Over The West?
There’s a lot to cover with Ian, so I thought it’d be best to go from the bottom up.

Ian Miles Cheong was born in Malaysia.

He still lives in Malaysia.

He has never lived anywhere else aside from Malaysia.

For those familiar with Ian’s content but not familiar with Ian himself, you may be scratching your head right now.

“He’s Malaysian? Why is he so obsessed with the domestic and political issues of the US and Canada?

Why is he so obsessed with the domestic and political issues of Europe?

I’ve never seen him tweet anything about Malaysia.”

I mean Malaysia recently crowned a new king, that’s pretty big news right? So why didn’t Ian post about it?

Simple.

He DREADS having his 900k+ followers know that he resides in Malaysia.

He knows that alone can kill his grift.

It PAYS to speak about the west.

He wants the English speaking western audience.

He can sit there in Malaysia, a country in the Eastern hemisphere, and post divisive content and political content that has literally 0 effect on him.

It’s the perfect gig.

Post about things that don’t concern you + Have a massive audience that don’t know much about you = $$$

As we go further down this thread, you’ll notice a pattern of Ian inserting himself in situations that don’t concern him.

Solinvictus - Powerful Reddit Moderator

Before Ian took over Twitter/X with his grift, he was a prominent Reddit moderator.

Ian had a 4 year Reddit Career (2008 - 2012) in which he essentially lived and breathed Reddit.

Here’s some of the subreddits Ian modded, and the size of them today:

⁃ r/AskReddit | 2nd Biggest Subreddit in The World | 45m Members
⁃ r/TodayILearned | 6th Biggest Subreddit in The World | 35m Members
⁃ r/Politics | 67th Biggest Subreddit in The World | 8.5m Members

⁃ r/WTF | 79th Biggest Subreddit in The World | 7m Members
So yeah, Ian was modding some of the biggest subreddits in the WORLD.
Notice how I wrote his Reddit Career was from 2008 - 2012? Yeah that was because in 2012 he got banned.

Why?
Because Ian finessed the system.
On Reddit, like most social media sites, they have spam filters.

So if you were posting too much in a Subreddit or posted too many links, your posts would get picked up by a spam filter and they wouldn’t show up, in some cases people were banned.
But because Ian was a mod, these filters didn’t apply to him.
So during the time Ian was moderating some of the biggest Subreddits in the world, he was also one of the top publishers on a gaming news site called “Gameranx”.

Ian would spam links to his articles on Gameranx in the different subreddits he was modding, and subvert the spam filter.

It’s believed he did this because the more people viewed his articles, the more money Ian would make.

But Ian did more than spam his own articles.

He also spammed the links of another site for money.

He spammed links from a site called “GlobalPost” and when GP was confronted with the allegation, they said they had hired Ian as a “social media consultant” when in reality Ian was abusing his moderator power and breaking TOS by spamming undisclosed promos on various Subreddits.

By doing this, Ian gained over 350,000 link karma in his 4 year Reddit career.

Eventually Ian was called out on r/reporthespammers and not only was his link spamming brought up, but people alleged that Ian was also operating on an alt account called ‘slaterheasrt’.

Coincidentally, Redditors noticed that when ‘Solinvictus’ was banned, ‘slaterhearst’ also disappeared from the site.

In 2012, Daily Dot said “Cheong is likely the most influential Reddit user to ever suffer the spam ban hammer.”

However, the story of ’Solinvictus’ doesn’t end there…

Solinvictus x Exitium

Here’s a chat log of Ian from the site ‘RPG Codex’

He goes by two names here: the familiar ’Solinvictus’ and ‘Exitium’.

Some quotes from Ian are as follows:

“can’t spell African without ni**er.”

“they call me a banana, cause I’m like, yellow on the outside, white on the inside.

“what are those ni**er lovers gonna do?”

“hitler is my fu**ing idol”

“Why didn’t the holocaust kill your parents?”

“Because jews = nothing”

“Hail Hitler! Mein Fuhrer! Heil!”

Ian would never speak like that today for two reasons:

1. He’s got a massive platform that’s paying him well, he doesn’t want to lose it.

2. He works for Rebel News (we’ll get onto that later).

Ian Miles Cheong Falsely Accuses Man of Rape

Ian accused a moderator of the ‘r/KotakuInAction’ Subreddit of being a rapist with no evidence whatsoever.

At the time Ian was involved in something called ‘GamerGate’

Now I don’t want to go too deep into GamerGate, but essentially is was a movement around 2014 where some people believed the gaming journalism/development scene was becoming too politically correct and women were being unfairly handed opportunities purely due to the fact they were female.

This lead to an online war between people who agreed with the premise of GamerGate and people who thought it was nonsense.

Ian was what would be considered ‘Anti-GamerGate’

The mod Ian was accusing of rape believed in the premise of GamerGate, and whether you agree with him or not, I think what we can all agree on is that you don’t falsely accuse someone of rape just because they hold different opinions than you.

In the image below you can see Ian go from literally calling someone a rapist, to then stating “it’s impossible to prove” that said person was in fact a rapist.

So what exactly was Ian’s ‘evidence’ in the first place?

Ian argued that the moderator in question had an alt account named “ThePhilosophyofRape”.

The account Ian claimed was the mod’s alt was being used to defend an alleged rapist at the time.

Ian had 0 evidence that the account was the moderator’s alt, but he made the claim anyway.

Eventually, Ian backtracks as he realizes it’s probably not the best idea to call somebody a rapist when there’s precisely 0 evidence for the claim.

So yes, Ian went as far as to LIE about someone being a rapist just because they held a different opinion than him.

False allegations are common when it comes to Ian however, you’ll notice this as we go further into the thread.

The Wild Goose Dox

A couple of years ago, Ian was involved in a beef with a man called Wild Goose.

Ian claimed Wild Goose DM’d him and said he was sending “Bitcoin assassins” to murder him.

Goose denied these claims and said that if he was sent a message from ‘Wild Goose’ saying such a thing, then it was a fake account.

Ian was then given the address of Wild Goose’s home by a Twitter user called “Mom Bot”.

Ian also admitted to passing on Goose’s dox to another person.

Goose claimed Ian swatted his father’s home, and during the raid, the police threw a flashbang which heavily injured his father’s dog.

Now, given that Cheong has a history of doxxing people and filing false police reports (another example will be shown in the next tweet) it is highly probable that the swatting did in fact happen.

However, I’ll play devil’s advocate here and admit there’s very little evidence of the ‘flashbang incident’.

A video was posted which was claimed to be evidence of the flashbang, but it was quickly discredited as being an old video of an unrelated incident.

Ian did ‘admit’ to getting Goose’s dog flashbanged on a stream, however he claims he was being sarcastic and it was intended as a joke (you can be the judge of that).

So:

- Goose Likely Did Not Threaten Ian, Ian Admits To Being "Misled" (Video Below)

- Ian Admits To Being Given Goose's Dox And Passing it On To Someone Else

- Very Likely Goose Was Swatted

- Very Unlikely Goose's Dog Was Flashbanged

- Likely That Ian Was Responsible For The Swatting, Although it May Have Been The Person Ian Passed Goose's Dox To

The video below explains the events more clearly.

The Andy Warski Dox

This is probably one of the more interesting stories with Ian, because many believe that it was this specific incident that had Ian leave gaming journalism behind, and enter the political journalism scene.

Ian and Andy had teamed up to form the gaming YouTube channel ‘Hype Break’.

Things were going well, until they weren’t.

Ian and Andy got into an argument, and eventually Andy claimed that Ian had locked him out of the ‘Hype Break’ YouTube channel.

Andy took to Twitter and told everyone about the situation.

Andy was upset, but decided to move on and focus on his main channel instead.

Then something odd happened.

The thumbnails of his YouTube videos were being changed to images of gay porn.

To Andy’s surprise, it turns out Ian was still a manager of his channel, so naturally he said it was a targeted attack by Ian in effort to get his channel banned.

It didn’t stop there however.

Andy then got DDoS’d and had cops show up to his house saying they had received a report saying he had a mountain of cocaine, he was prone to bouts of violence and schizophrenia, and that he had illegal firearms in his home.

This of course was a complete fabrication and after the incident happened, Andy took to social media and accused Ian of filing a false police report.

Initially, Ian denied it and said:

“You gotta stop making stuff up for drama my man. Lay off the coke.”

However, evidence then came out proving that Ian was lying.

A woman by the name of ‘Enheduanna’ leaked voice messages Ian had sent her in which he admitted that he did in fact call the cops on Andy.

After Ian realized he had been caught red-handed, he made a tweet admitting he had called the cops on Andy, but he tried downplaying the situation significantly.

“In my anger towards him, I filed a report with a tip line to report his criminal activities.”

A message to literally everyone reading this, NEVER share ANY personal information with Ian Miles Cheong, because if he gets angry enough with you, he may call the cops and lie about you having a mountain of cocaine and illegal firearms in your home.

It was this incident that killed whatever little credibility Ian had left within the gaming community, and as you can tell by his tweeting today, he turned to political tweeting about Western issues instead.

Ian Falsely Accuses Man of Murder - Leads To IRL Harassment Of An Innocent Man

Ian Miles Cheong falsely accused a man of being the “number one suspect in the shooting of two deputies”.

The man he accused was 33-year-old (at the time) basketball coach and father of two, Darnell Hicks.

So where did Ian get this information that lead to him tweeting that Hicks was the number 1 murder suspect in this investigations?

A couple of Facebook posts.

Ian’s tweets coupled with Facebook posts peddling the same misinfo, led to Hicks having his address and ID leaked.

Hicks received death threats and was harassed for days because of this.

Even after LA County Sheriffs’ official Twitter account came out debunking Ian’s claims, he didn’t stop.

“LA County Sheriffs office may be disputing the contents of this tweet. However more details on Hicks have gone viral on Facebook.

I’ll post further confirmation or details as I get them. Officially, no suspects have been named at this time.”

So Ian went from saying Hicks was the “number one suspect” to saying “Officially, no suspects have been named at this time.”

Unfortunately, the damage had already been done.

It’s shocking that a man sitting at his computer desk in Malaysia could have such a dangerous impact on real world event happening in the US.

Just shocking…

False Murder Accusation 2

If one screenshot summed up Ian Miles Cheong, it would probably be this one.

*ahem*

Ian: “A mob of rioters just murdered a man in cold blood in Dallas. He was defending his store.

Jennifer: “Is it confirmed he was killed?”

Ian: “Nope. No confirmation.”

Ian has a habit of trying to make already bad situations, even worse.

But if it’s the US or Europe, what does it matter to him?

He’s in Malaysia, it doesn’t impact him

Ian’s Current Gig - Rebel News

Remember I said we’ll get to Rebel News? well we’re here!

Ian is currently employed by Rebel News.

Rebel News is owned by Canadian-Jew, Ezra Levant.

Levant is a hardcore Zionist who’s on the record for calling supporters of BDS “Nazis” and “Jew-Baiters.”

Another prominent journalist at Rebel News is Avi Yemeni.

Avi is an Australian-Israeli man who plead guilty to physically assaulting his ex-wife and also bragged about killing unarmed civilians during his time serving in the IDF.

Precisely 0 employees of Rebel News hold anti-zionist views.

Ian’s opinions are for sale, so naturally now that he works for Rebel News, he’s also a hardcore Zionist.

The ironic things is that Malaysia doesn’t even recognize Israel as a state. The Malaysian passport clearly states, “This passport is valid for all countries except Israel.”

Ian’s coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza has also evidently been very much pro-Israeli.

For example, on October 7th Ian posted a video of children in cages with the caption:

“Israeli children kidnapped by Hamas are being kept in cages. Their captors taunt and laugh at them.”

Ian was then bombarded by viewers who proved to him that the video was old and the sound was dubbed, he then deleted the tweet.

But he then completely flipped another video to fit his/Rebel News’ Zionist agenda.

This time he posted an old video of an Israeli police training exercise and captioned it:

“Hamas is going from house to house, butchering the people inside, including women and children taking shelter in basements. Imagine if this was happening in your neighbourhood, to your family.”

And you wanna know what the funny thing is?

When
@jakeshieldsajj
pointed out the fact that the soldiers were wearing Israeli police uniforms, Ian replied by saying, “Stolen uniforms.”

Eventually the tweet got Community Noted and Ian deleted it, but by the time it was deleted it had already amassed well over 5m views.

Conclusion

Ian is a chronically online Malaysian grifter.

He has a history of:

⁃ Doxxing

⁃ Filing False Police Reports

⁃ Abusing Moderator Power For Financial Gain

⁃ Making False Rape Allegations

⁃ Making False Murder Allegations

⁃ Making Up Fake News To Push An Agenda

He gave up on gaming journalism after he lost all credibility due to being caught red-handed in the Andy Warski situation.

He then turned to political journalism and decided to focus on western issues that don’t concern him.

He did this due to it being the easiest way to build an audience and it being very profitable.

Ian resides in Malaysia and posts divisive content about western nations, not because he cares, (literally none of it matters to him), but because it’s profitable.

Hope you learned something today :)
