About 10 years ago, I set out to better understand the drivers of radicalization and deradicalization into white supremacy. Work from our endeavors is starting to come out, and I am no longer concerned about sharing it.
I want to share the findings from one of these studies, published last March. 🧵

To my American colleagues: sorry, I won't be visiting the USA this year. Logic says we should support you and your great science, but with the continued attacks against Canada, it's become emotional. I'll send trainees if they want to go, but also offer them alternatives in Canada, Europe and Asia.

My book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT was published in 2020. It has the Trump/Epstein court files in it and a history of their joint transnational mafia ties. For five years, I have heard from former Trump voters who said this book -- specifically the Epstein documents -- changed their minds about him.
