An important and needed discussion on #JewishCurrents pod about the trafficking of #antisemitism by #farRight influencers under the guise of "antizionism." Focus is on #TuckerCarlson's talk w/ #NickFuentes and #NormanFinkelstein's surreal decision to go on #CandaceOwens's show while providing hardly any pushback to her BS #conspiracism.

Worth a listen for any ppl who think going on fash podcasts can "advance" the cause of Palestine.

... The struggle for human rights has long assumed that documenting abuses would "shame" perpetrators into changing their behavior. But what happens when perpetrators no longer feel shame, and openly disregard moral censure and even the very idea of truth? In that case, documentation and distribution, however rapid or widespread, lose their power.

Indeed, as human rights reports and international court petitions over the past two years have shown, Israeli military, political, and cultural leaders now admit openly — and of their own accord — what in other circumstances human rights groups would have labored painstakingly to prove.

How Israelis turned atrocity denial into an art

As Gazans document mass killing and starvation in real time, the response of many Israelis is: It’s all fake — and they deserve it.

"This fusion, between antisemitic conspiracy theory and Islamophobic #racism suggests more than simply the cranial soup of #fascistThought, but a kind of structural homology—a racial formation to explain widening contradictions of both #capitalism and the political conjuncture."

Mamdani’s Judeo-Bolshevik Threat – Spectre Journal

Benjamin Balthasar explores the representation of Zohran Mamdani as simultaneously foreign menace and inauthentic outsider, deploying both antisemitism and Islamophobia to prop up a neatly racialized version of politics.

🇬🇧🧑‍💻⛽️🔥 Close to the anniversary of the Southport misinformation spread and riots episode, I wrote about attempts made over the past year, by people in the same ecosystem, to gaslight and conspiracise a "vindication vibe" out of their utter humiliation, and the need for an "information battle station".

IMHO Diane Powell is a crank who’s clearly already pretty far down a stupid & dangerous David Icke type path with her #TelepathyTapes grift. OPB’s gingerly agnostic [approach](https://www.opb.org/article/2025/05/04/medford-psychiatrist-autism-telepathy/) to her bullshit is embarrassing. As the writer of a more worthwhile [piece](https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking-pseudoscience/telepathy-tapes-prove-we-all-want-believe) on this topic said: *”Journalists, learn to recognize the outline of this story, please.”*

"#Virulent: The Vaccine War"

"[T]he film's worst prediction - that fear of the #CovidVaccine would lead to distrust of all #vaccines - is coming true as we see in the current #measles outbreaks.

"Virulent also exposes the ways in which the #antivaccineMovement led by #RobertFKennedyJr weaponizes history to target Black Americans and other minority communities."

Encore une fois, une brillante analyse croisée sur la montée du fascisme, le rôle des approches conspirationnistes dans tout ça...

The fact that #CandaceOwens and conspiracy theorists like #IanCarroll are turning against #ElonMusk because of the video game fakery is... fascinating.

Do you trust Elon Musk? Because there are some things that don’t add up. And when you start doing the math… I’ve got some questions. And even if you still fall on team Musk, you should probably be paying very close attention.

#Dan #Bongino will now join FBI Director Kash Patel
— a man with similarly spicy views over the failed insurrection of January 2021
— in leading America’s premier law enforcement and investigations agency.

But if you’re looking for a social media post that really gets to the heart of what Bongino is about, the following is the best example:

“What do the ‘Great Reset,’ starvation, censorship, and the FBI have in common? Don’t miss my show today on Rumble, for the answer.”
Can you smell it? (Deep inhale.)
Ah … the heady aroma of #conspiracism.
The promise of a big reveal.
An appeal to an alternative media platform.

The elements are all there.
That’s right, Dan Bongino is an algorithm-humper.
A grifter.
A creature of the “new media.”
A man who tells his audience what it wants to hear, not what it needs to know
