I dug into the group that performed and popularized it. Its cofounder said his goal was to create "the seed of an eventual government." www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Spike 3: ~Oct. 7, 2025
As anti-ICE protests grow and several states sue to block the deployment of National Guard units in major cities, Trump again threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act. The most re-shared post from that period was from conspiracy theorist "Clandestine" (Jacob Creech).

Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis. We used our dashboard to see when that's come up before on Truth Social, the microblogging platform Trump owns.
We saw three major spikes since January 2024. Here's a quick thread with the context.

Our researchers found at least 450 posts on Telegram dating back to 2020 that shared the song mentioned in this reporting.
Nearly all the posts we found were from explicitly neo-Nazi and white supremacist channels. And a review of our datasets found it hasn't circulated much outside those circles.

Truth Social users were quick to hype the Trump Administration's initial justifications for escalating military actions against Venezuela: stopping drug traffickers. But since the capture of Maduro, users have shown more interest in the country's oil reserves.

She was MAGA’s favorite conspiracist. Then she dug into Charlie Kirk’s killing.
The right-wing firebrand rose to prominence as a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist. Her latest claims have infuriated some of her former allies.
