  1. From another commenter:

    A new report from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) details a coordinated influence operation by Russian and Iranian actors aimed at U.S. conservative audiences — especially online communities that identify with the MAGA movement. The campaign deploys inauthentic accounts, false-flag conspiracy narratives, and a handful of high-visibility American influencers to steer debate and widen ideological rifts.

    From 1 May to 10 June 2025 researchers logged more than 675,000 posts promoting false-flag explanations for shootings, bombings and other violence. These claims usually allege that the U.S. government, Israel, or “globalists” staged events to tighten control or discredit conservatives. Most amplification appeared on X, Telegram and TikTok feeds with large pro-Trump followings.

    …

    Within an hour of the 24 May murders of Israeli diplomats in Washington, MAGA-branded accounts—later tied to Russian or Iranian IP ranges—pushed the idea that the killings were a Mossad self-attack meant to drag America into war. Those messages drew 200,000 engagements before any official statement appeared.
