Turning Point USA Ambassador Evan Kilgore appeared on the show of virulent antisemite Stew Peters, where the two alleged that Jewish people are behind the world’s problems and advocated for armed revolt. After claiming that the government is “Jewish-controlled,” Kilgore said that people “have to be willing to stand up and use their firearm, use the Second Amendment to protect themselves against this tyranny.”
Peters is a white nationalist and antisemite who hosts a program that streams on Rumble. He has endorsed Holocaust denial and pro-Hitler propaganda and encourages violence as a solution to problems.
Kilgore is a Turning Point USA ambassador. The right-wing organization states that he is an “outspoken Christian and Conservative commentator who focuses on politics, faith, and culture” and says he was “retweeted by President Trump multiple times.”
TPUSA is led by Charlie Kirk, whose recent commentary has included both antisemitism and Islamophobia. The organization recently cut ties with Morgan Ariel, a far-right influencer who pushes antisemitism and has appeared on Peters’ program.
Kilgore was a guest on the January 25 edition of Peters’ program, where the two started discussing the razor wire case in Texas. Kilgore told Peters that “this is all part of a mass depopulation agenda” and “the United States is being invaded by illegal immigrants. It's absolutely disgusting.”
Peters replied of the border: “Electrify it. Shoot people that are trying to come across it.” (Peters has previously called for shooting workers for the nonprofit Catholic Charities USA.)
The conversation then descended into open antisemitism when the two discussed who was behind the world’s problems.
Peters alleged that there’s a “criminal Jewish banking cabal, the central banking system. This system, by the way, that was kicked out of Russia by Vladimir Putin, which is why he's the boogeyman for the entire Jewish-funded media. Blackrock, State Street, Vanguard, the Rothschilds. He kicked them out.”
Kilgore later replied: “No, exactly. They fund everything from the public education system to the banks to literally everything. So they’re funding these wars, they’re instigating these wars, they’re creating these wars in essence, truly.”
Peters also said that when it comes to government, “We have a bunch of people that are sold out to Jews”:
STEW PETERS (HOST): We don't have any representation in Washington. We have a bunch of people that are sold out to Jews. That's what we have. I mean, literally, that's what we have. Nobody can argue that. It's not antisemitic to say that, it is freaking fact. Every one of our bureaucracies. Every one of our three letter agencies, all of our Ivy League schools, all of our publicly funded college post-secondary institutions, every institution in this country is led by somebody who claims to be a Jew. Are they practicing Jews? No, of course they're not. They hide behind the Jew label.
Kilgore replied after Peters’ rant: “What you said is exactly correct.” He added: “They're Jewish-controlled. And, you know, people like me, the everyday American conservative Christian is waking up to this.” He then praised Holocaust denier Nick Fuentesfor being “kind of a forefront leader” in criticizing “Jewish people.”
Peters and Kilgore talked about alleged solutions to taking back their government, which prominently included violence. When Peters asked if “America needs to see an insurrection, a violent one,” Kilgore replied:
EVAN KILGORE (TPUSA AMBASSADOR): I think that if we can't get this country back under control, then we certainly need to do something, and does it need to be an insurrection? Possibly. There needs to be a list of demands. If we're going to go take over the Capitol, there needs to be a list of demands saying we're not going to leave unless these are satisfied, unless we the people regain the power in this nation.
(Kilgore had said during the program: “Personally, I don't think January 6 went far enough.”)
Kilgore later complained that “most Americans are far too lazy to ever engage in a civil war,” but the “American people have to be willing to stand up and use their firearm, use the Second Amendment to protect themselves against this tyranny.”
STEW PETERS (HOST): How many Americans do you think are willing to actually use firearms and lethal force to protect their life, liberty, and property, and to protect their kids against a tyrannical government? Or how many of them are just going to lay down and just go to jail, just be carted off by the feds and, you know, handcuffed and just go to jail peacefully and like, be like victims and be like, “Oh my God. Well, now I need a crowdfunding. I need” — you know, I mean, where are we? Where are the real fighters? We don't need political candidates. We need William Wallace.
EVAN KILGORE (TPUSA AMBASSADOR): No, exactly. I do think those people are few and far between. But you're right. A lot of Americans, we talk about a coming civil war between the left and the right, or even some sort of war on the world stage. Most Americans are far too lazy to ever engage in a civil war. The most that we can do is make some tweets on X and post terrible memes on Instagram, and they believe that's fighting the culture war. And it's going to come. One day, this war is going to come to our front door, and American people have to be willing to stand up and use their firearm, use the Second Amendment to protect themselves against this tyranny.
PETERS: Yeah. We have exhausted virtually every, every other available recourse that we have. We really have. I mean, we really have. We have tried to petition the government to redress our grievances. January 6, perfect example.
Peters concluded the segment by stating: “Your State Department is controlled by Jews. Your Department of Justice is controlled by Jews. Your Ivy League schools are controlled by Jews. Your public schools are controlled by Jews. All of your major universities are controlled by Jews. Your entire media is funded by Jews.”

GOP secretary of state nominees will appear at event with Lara Logan, who pushes antisemitic conspiracy theories
WRITTEN BY ERIC HANANOKI
PUBLISHED 10/14/22
Republican secretary of state nominees from Arizona, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, and Nevada are scheduled to attend an “election integrity forum” moderated by former CBS News correspondent and Fox Nation host Lara Logan this weekend. Those candidates are associating with a far-right conspiracy theorist who has repeatedly pushed antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish people supposedly trying to manipulate American events, from the Civil War to the assassination of presidents.
:{
}:
New Mexico secretary of state candidate Audrey Trujillo recently announced that her campaign would host a “New Mexico Election Integrity Forum” on October 15 featuring Logan. The event will feature election-denying secretary of state candidates who have a history of promoting toxic rhetoric and conspiracy theories, including in the media: Rayla Campbell (Massachusetts); Mark Finchem (Arizona); Kristina Karamo (Michigan); Jim Marchant (Nevada); and Trujillo.
Campbell is a QAnon supporter. Finchem posted QAnon propaganda on the white nationalist haven Gab. Karamo hosted an anti-LGBTQ podcast and claimed Beyoncé, Cardi B, and other musicians are tools of Satan. Marchant has forwarded bizarre conspiracy theories about a global “cabal” stealing elections. And Trujillo has claimed that Democrats and the deep state “create” school shootings so that they can “make people fearful” and “take away our guns.”
Other than Campbell, all of those candidates are part of Marchant’s America First Secretary of State Coalition, which falsely claims that Donald Trump won the 2020 election and works with QAnon influencers. They and Logan are also connected to QAnon influencer Juan O. Savin, who has pushed conspiracy theories about 9/11 and the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting.
The New Mexico event is the latest election-denying event for Logan, who has traveled across the country moderating such events in places including Arizona, Florida, Kansas, Ohio, and Texas.
Logan has increasingly associated with the QAnon community. She has also pushed numerous far-right conspiracy theories this year. Among them:
:{
}:
She claimed that Darwinism is a plot from “the Rothschilds.” Antisemites have long accused the Rothschilds of masterminding world events and tragedies.
She shared a piece claiming that Jewish people are behind “a one world government" and “central banking and big corporate money" and are the “divider and conqueror” and “the aggressor, yet always the victim." The piece also claimed the Rothschilds engineered the U.S. Civil War and the assassinations of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, and that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin purged "the Rothschild money changers.”
She claimed that January 6 was a “manufactured event. We know it was orchestrated just like Charlottesville was orchestrated.”
She said that the United Nations is “infiltrating 100 million people into the United States as the basis for forming a regional government instead of a national government.”
Logan has continued pushing fringe claims in recent weeks.
During a September 19 video to her Locals.com channel, Logan said people came to the United States in 1776 because they were purportedly “escaping the reach of the Rothschilds and, you know, the central bankers of today.” She then proceeded to claim that the Illuminati -- a secret society that is frequently the focus of global conspiracy theories -- “were able to infiltrate” the country through seminaries and then suggested that “the same model” has been used to control government, schools, corporations, and the media.

CitationFrom a September 19, 2022, video by Lara Logan
OFF-CAMERA ASSISTANT: From Isaiah586: “Hello, Laura. How do you come to understand this is a spiritual battlewhen so many pastors don't even get it? The church at large is asleep. God bless you.”
LARA LOGAN: Well, that's a very interesting question, because the church — I don’t believe the church at large is asleep. I think the church is complicit. And I'll tell you why. It's rooted in history. If you go back to the founding of this country back in 1776. Right? And you look at how this country was founded. You had people who were escaping the reach of the Rothschilds and, you know, the central bankers of today, those old families. You had them break free of their clutches and head for the colonies, right? Head into uncharted waters.And the Illumens at the time, which are the hierarchy of the Illuminati, they allowed that to happen. They had people watching this experiment to make sure that if it indeed did succeed, that they would have the ability to influence it and control it. But they didn't really have great expectations.
…
The colonies, the people rise up and they say, we're not going to put up with this. We're not going to have it. And that's when the Illumens look at this and they say, well, wait a minute, now. This pesky problem is growing bigger and stronger. You know, go ahead and take care of it. And that's what they expected to happen. What they didn't expect to happen was that the colonies together would rise up and defeat their colonial masters, the British, and that they would march forward to freedom and establish the United States in 1776. And so everything that we're seeing today stems from that moment in history. Because what the Illumen then realized they had to do was to infiltrate the churches because this was the backbone of the rebellion. And what happened historically is that they struggled to infiltrate with the church leaders and the pastors and so on. So where did they turn their attention? They turned it to the seminaries, and that's where they were able to infiltrate, to infiltrate the houses of learning as opposed to the houses of worship.
…
And so what you talk about as the church being asleep is really a very well-funded, orchestrated takeover of the church and infiltration of the church into decay from within, which is pretty much the same model that you can see across the board. It happened in education in this country. It's happened in government. It's happened in our government institutions, from the executive branch to the Department of Justice, to the colleges, to the schools, to the teachers unions and so on and so on. And now, of course, the corporations, the PR firms, the publishing firms, the media, you can see these same patterns replicated over and over. Because why?Because one side has to come in darkness and in deception,hide their true intent, mask who they really are, infiltrate what others have built, and take it over from within. Because they don't create. They copy. They counterfeit. They destroy from within. But they don't create.
Logan made similar remarks during a September 15 appearance on the QAnon program The Mel K Show. She said that the Pilgrims were running away from the Rothschilds and that the Illuminati were fighting with the British against the colonists. She later added: “It's absolutely no different today. We're fighting exactly the same ideology and, in some cases, you know, with people like the Rothschilds, the same people even.”

The cult of QAnon is at a crossroads. Adherents of the conspiracy theory/new religious movement convinced themselves that Donald Trump was poised to purge the cannibal pedophile cabal and its traitorous enablers in a cleansing burst of political violence. But with Joe Biden in the White House, and Capitol rioters facing charges for their insurrection of January 6, prophecy has apparently failed. QAnon has been banished from major social media platforms. You can't even sell Q merch on Etsy anymore. True believers are struggling to make sense of it all. Q himself has fallen silent. It has been over a month since his last dispatch to the faithful.
In just three years, QAnon has exploded from an anonymous post on 4chan to a household word. The FBI has declared QAnon a domestic terrorist threat and the QAnon ideology has been the impetus for numerous terrorist attacks, not even counting the major role played by QAnon adherents in the assault on the US Capitol. QAnon has fractured families and destroyed lives. Astonishingly, we still don't know who Q is.
The enduring mystery of Q's identity has led to speculation about QAnon being an influence operation, (aka a psyop). Which raises the question of who's supposedly running this operation. QAnon's critics typically blame Russia or an alliance of Russia and Trump's inner circle. Disillusioned former QAnon sympathizers including Trump advisor Steve Bannon have also embraced a version of the psyop theory, claiming that QAnon was a deep state hoax designed to fool patriots.
Whatever role Russia may have played in promoting this conspiracy theory, the real problem is that there's a huge market in the United States for conspiracy theories that promise the violent overthrow of democracy.
Influence operations are typically military- or intelligence-led efforts to shape how a population thinks or feels without resorting to physical force.
Russian intelligence operates within the vast QAnon ecosystem but QAnon is a home-grown phenomenon, deeply rooted in American prejudices and preoccupations. QAnon and its forerunner Pizzagate were forged on 4Chan, a crucible of both the Alt-Right and American conspiracy culture. Understanding the racist, ultranationalist, conspiratorial culture of /pol is key to understanding the likely origins of QAnon. It's also important to understand how contemporary conspiracy theorizing incorporates and elaborates on older conspiratorial themes.
Q is old conspiracies made new
Many of the central tenets of QAnon are retreads of the antisemitic hoax tract, ":{The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion:(style="background-color:#ff9900;"):}::{,:(style="background-color:#ffff66;"):}:" which purports to be the minutes of a criminal conspiracy of rabbis to take over the world. The Protocols, in turn, recycles the ancient antisemitic superstition known as blood libel, the notion that Jews are harvesting the blood of Christian children.
Q asserts that the Houses of Rothschild and Soros are "puppet masters" covertly manipulating historical events. (Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene notoriously speculated that a space laser from :{"Rothschild, Inc:(style="background-color:#ff9900;"):}::{":(style="background-color:#ffffff;"):}: might have caused the Camp fire in California. Video of Greene berating a Parkland shooting survivor as a pawn of George Soros resurfaced recently.) Many of the QAnon faithful have their own take on blood libel, with the cannibal pedophiles being said to harvest a molecule known as adrenochrome from the blood of their child victims.
Ironically, the Protocols were commissioned by the head of the Russian secret police in the late 19th or early 20th century. The goal was to set back the cause of liberalism by convincing Czar Nicholas the II that the rise of capitalism in Russia was a conspiracy by Jews and the Freemasons. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was created by Russian conservatives to fool their own ruler, but the impact of the document was much broader. The forgery became the Ur-text of global conspiracy culture. Henry Ford's newspaper published the Protocols in 1920. The Nazis cited the Protocols to justify the Holocaust. The influence of the Protocols can even be seen in Dan Brown's bestselling Da Vinci Code novels.
In 2017, Vladimir Putin's personal confessor was hyping the idea that Czar Nicholas and his family were ritually murdered by Jews. (In fact, the deposed Nicholas and his family were assassinated by Bolsheviks shortly after the Revolution of 1917. The leader of the death squad was commended by Lenin for his work.)
QAnon sprang from the primordial soup of 4chan's Politically Incorrect board, aka /pol. 4chan is an anonymous imageboard where anyone can post almost anything. 4chan is often described as the birthplace of the Alt Right. Users are known as "anons."
"Q" is short for "Q Clearance Patriot." Q purports to be a high-ranking US intelligence official leaking details of Donald Trump's campaign against his enemies in the deep state. Q's revelations began in late October of 2017. The researcher who posts as Q Origins on Twitter has published his findings on the investigative news site Bellingcat.
Some have speculated that various pro-Russian themes in Q's body of work are evidence that the QAnon phenomenon was a Russian influence operation, but this argument ignores the fact that Vladimir Putin's Russia is organically popular in the Alt Right and /pol. Q and his message board disciples may admire Putin's brand of hyper-masculine authoritarianism without being Russian agents.
In order to understand the origins of QAnon, it is necessary to understand the imageboard tradition of LARPing. "In the 4Chan context, a LARP is when you pose as a big insider," explains the anonymous author of the Q Origins Project.
