The Jewish Chronicle reports:
Jackson Hinkle has been banned from WhatsApp, YouTube, Paypal, and Twitch for spreading misinformation and become one of the most viral users on X/Twitter. Or, as he sees it, he has been silenced by a “corrupt cabal of elite leadership who will do anything to silence independent voices”. Hinkle recently pivoted to Twitter, banking on Elon Musk’s plan to make the site a bastion of “free speech”. Last week, he became the most viral man on the site, offering a premium subscription to those wanting to help him “DEFEAT THE ZIONIST LIES”.
His almost 2 million followers are overwhelmed by posts rife with misinformation about the war. Hinkle claimed US Marines have landed in Israel, and misrepresented US airstrikes in Syria earlier this year as “breaking” news of an Israeli attack. This isn’t Hinkle’s first controversy. His bans from popular platforms came in response to spreading misinformation around the war in Ukraine. Putin, according to Hinkle, has “God on his side”.
Read the full article. Hinkle first appeared here in March 2023 when he told a fawning Tucker Carlson, “We stand with Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un.”

I have to wonder how pre-Musk Twitter would have dealt with accounts like Jackson Hinkle’s spreading endless disinformation about the current conflict, because post-Musk Twitter barely seems to care. https://t.co/jbGhywZjAO

The Twitter algorithm is also currently boosting these two posts by the same blue tick account in people’s feeds.
One claims the Nazis were “the last warriors who fought the satanic Jewish banking cartel”, and the other is straight up Holocaust denial. pic.twitter.com/UWp8G7GjaF
