After the U.S. and Iran agreed to a ceasefire deal on June 17, a senior U.S. official was monitoring the online reaction when they noticed something surprising.
President Donald Trump’s aides had expected his supporters to celebratethe agreement. Instead, online influencers in Trump’s MAGA movement were excoriating it on social media. One shared an Israeli op-ed titled, “You Could Have Been the Greatest President of All—But You Failed.” Several postedthe samevideo of Qatar’s prime minister appearing to snub Vice President J.D. Vance in Israel, arguing it showed regional powers dismissing the Trump Administration’s “naivete.” Others accused Trump of surrendering before achieving his stated objective of eliminating Iran’s nuclear program. Many of the posts appeared almost simultaneously, with similarities in language and tone.
The official began collecting screenshots, and came to believe it wasn’t a coincidence. Tracing tweets by prominent members of the online right, the official came to believe there was an unlikely figure at the centerof all this criticism: Trump’s former presidential campaign manager and digital guru, Brad Parscale.
Last September, the global ad agency Havas hired Parscale’s firm, Clock Tower X, to conduct a digital campaign on behalf of the State of Israel, according to Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) filings reviewed by TIME.Under the agreement, Parscale’s operation would produce 100 original pieces of content each month, with at least 80% aimed at Gen Z audiences across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and podcasts. In a Services Agreement draft included in the filing,Parscale also pledged to amplify the campaign across social media and through “integration of narrative messaging into Salem Media Network properties and aligned distribution channels,” referring to the Christian conservative broadcasting and publishing company where he serves as Chief Strategy Officer. Parscale vowed the effort would produce at least 50 million digitalimpressions per month, as well as influence how AI tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, and Google’s Gemini characterized Israel and the war. For all this, Israel agreed to pay Clock Tower X$1.5 million per month.
JD Vance has claimed he is the target of an Israeli-funded propaganda campaign over his Iran peace push, and that Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the ‘highest levels’ of Mossad.
The Vice President made the explosive allegations during a nearly three-hour sit-down with podcaster Joe Rogan.
Vance pointed to a Time magazine report he said proved American influencers were being paid to attack the Iran deal. The report notes that money has flowed through a former Trump campaign operative and is bankrolled by elements of the Israeli government.
‘My response to that is, well, go to hell,’ Vance said of those taking the cash to smear him. The Vice President, who complained he has been branded an anti-Semite, declared that Israel is losing the public opinion battle in America.
He also said that ‘figures’ inside the Israeli government are manipulating American public opinion to keep the war going ‘indefinitely.’
What I’ve learned from people familiar with the investigation:
🚨 U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York, one of the country’s most powerful districts for federal prosecutions, has launched a federal grand jury investigation into American Marxist tycoon Neville Roy Singham’s financial network, examining potential financial crimes including wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering from his base in Shanghai, where he funds groups supporting the Chinese Communist Party.
🚨 Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the investigation as the Trump administration seeks to crack down on fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes in the multibillion-dollar nonprofit industry.
🚨 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent traveled to New York City earlier this year for a meeting with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon. The men discussed the role of a Goldman Sachs philanthropic arm — GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund For Wealth Management Inc. — that facilitated the movement by Singham of millions of dollars into a network of U.S. nonprofits. At that meeting, sources said, Bessent delivered a blunt ultimatum: Goldman Sachs could face scrutiny for alleged conspiracy in the funneling of the Singham money and urged Solomon to cooperate with federal investigators. Goldman Sachs is cooperating with the investigation.
When Canada becomes a platform for transnational networks to project coercion, intimidation, or violence outward, the country faces a sovereignty threat that deserves a name: reverse foreign interference.
Canada has spent years asking who is interfering inside its borders. Operation Hard Ball raises a harder question: who is using Canada to interfere, intimidate, or operate beyond them?
That is the core of reverse foreign interference. The term is not yet part of Canadian law, but it belongs in Canada’s national-security vocabulary. It describes cases in which transnational criminal, extremist, or digitally enabled networks use Canadian territory, legal protections, diaspora communities, transport routes, immigration systems, or digital space to target people, institutions, or foreign jurisdictions from Canadian soil.
The usual foreign-interference debate asks who is targeting Canada. Reverse foreign interference asks who is exploiting Canada as a platform.
That question now matters after Operation Hard Ball, the US-led crackdown against India-based organized crime networks operating across the United States, Canada, and Europe. For Canada, this is not simply a foreign gang case. It is a sovereignty warning.
Operation Hard Ball and the Canadian platform
Western Standardreported this week that an unsealed Los Angeles indictment accuses Indian gang leaders of ordering the 2023 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, British Columbia. The indictment marks the first formal US charging document to directly implicate Bishnoi gang leadership in the killing.
The wider US case is larger still. According to the US Department of Justice, prosecutors charged 37 defendants tied to three transnational criminal groups. The operation produced 24 arrests, including arrests in Canada, and involved accusations of assassination, murder, extortion, kidnapping, drug trafficking, human smuggling, weapons trafficking, and firearms offences.
Whether you fell for this bs or not, the video is worth viewing as a reminder of how powerful propaganda and censorship can be. And also how mindlessly stupid, wrong, dangerous, blatantly deliberate and evil they are. Mind-control constitutes over 90% of all Big Media, and much of the rest due to bots, psyop agents and the gullible. ABN
Both Frank Turek and Brian Harpole have shared the story of the approximate 8 minute car ride to the hospital, multiple times. They specified what every individual was doing during that short journey.
Why did none of them mention that they were on the phone with Ben Shapiro’s security team providing status updates while Charlie was bleeding?
The world found out that Charlie was shot AFTER he arrived at the hospital.
Who in the car raced to inform Ben Shapiro’s team within those first critical minutes?
Ben Shapiro’s personal security team consists of former IDF members. Is this how Bibi Netanyahu knew before the rest of the world that Charlie was dead?
Who specifically were the security team members that were on the phone?
My understanding is Kirk’s team failed to call 911 or notify the hospital they were on the way. This is yet another deeply suspicious detail fouling this case at every level. ABN
‘We would be opening up the possibility of Israel having influence over a $1.5 TRILLION annual budget.’
I have not yet watched this but the very idea strikes me as treasonous. ABN
UPDATE: I watched the first half. The bill is as bad as you can imagine. It’s an American Nightmare. The talk declines into predictable lachrymose moralizing, so I stopped watching. If this bill passes, adios USA. ABN
UPDATE: This is the best short explanation of what Trump and his administration are doing. It’s a must view if you want to understand USA. You can read into ‘the British System’ what you want, meaning who controls that? Despite the many distractions in the world today, Trump appears to be resolutely pursuing revitalization of the American System. For this reason alone, he is worth supporting. Elites that profit most from the ‘British’ System will be the ones who complain the most and who spend the most money advertising their POVs. So beware of who is saying what and who is paying for it and what they really want. Go USA! ABN
We’ve been quiet recently because Mark Goodwin and I have been working to write the most comprehensive investigation into Polymarket’s origins and ambitions to date.
We found that Polymarket’s “official” origin story, that Shayne Coplan founded the company alone in 2020 and then built “the company in his bathroom”, is a lie. Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu’s niece and nephew. Coplan has actively tried to obfuscate this company from his story and it’s not the only thing either.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel’s efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA’s Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the current influence of prediction markets and Polymarket, including how an insidious effort to have prediction markets replace representative democracy as a governance model is already being slowly implemented by the White House.
Why? Because the Canadian identity is defined by their main focus on ‘not being American.’ It’s all they know.
I can tell you specifically how it will materialize if you want, because I have already gamed this out. You might even make some money if you pay attention.
Toyota and Honda will do exactly what they have said they will do and exit Canadian manufacturing.
With full approval by Carney and the Canadian government, BYD and Geely will step in, purchase and take over those manufacturing plants to create vehicles in Canada (pennies on the CAD).
Canada will cheer because they will believe they just saved all those auto sector jobs. However, a few reality months later and suddenly it is all Chinese industrial operations bringing in Chinese workers to retool the factories.
Canada will end up paying unemployment benefits to Canadian workers, while Chinese factory workers prepare the facilities to manufacture BYD and Geely autos. The Canadian people will grit their teeth, yet do nothing because they accept their provincial government has already been corrupted by Chinese money.
