If we’re to believe the ‘experts’, believing in conspiracy theories and so-called ‘misinformation’and ‘disinformation’, is a problem unique to the ‘extreme right’ (also so-called). Just ignore the fact-free conspiracy theories that have ruled the dusty, spacious roof of the leftist mind in recent years: the ‘patriarchy’, ‘systemic racism’, ‘Muslim ban’, ‘Russiagate’…

But if anyone is the **Alex Jones** of the left, it surely has to be US congressman and Democrat “Squad” member (referring to an informal grouping of the nine most extreme-left Democrats) **Jamaal Bowman**.

> “Squad” member Rep Jamaal Bowman allegedly maintained a personal YouTube account \[*BreakThrough News*\] that subscribed to users pushing outrageous conspiracy theories – many with roots in antisemitism.  
>  
> As recently as last month, the Bronx and Westchester Democrat was creating playlists of videos using the screen name Inner Peace, according to the *Daily Beast*.  
>  
> The outlet reported that the Bowman channel followed troves of accounts peddling bonkers claims about aliens, flat Earth theory, UFOs and the Illuminati.

And of course there’s a heapin’ helpin’ of Jew-hatin’ and other assorted racism.

> *BreakThrough News* is also rife with anti-Israel content, much of which appears to be in keeping with Bowman’s views of the Jewish state’s war against Hamas \[…\]  
>  
> Still another channel reportedly embraced by Bowman, *Afripost*, repeatedly shares speeches by Nation of Islam leader **Louis Farrakhan**, who has referred to Jews as “termites” and “the synagogue of Satan.”  
>  
> A recent Farrakhan video is titled “BLACKS ARE THE TRUE J£WS \[sic\],” referring to an antisemitic conspiracy theory pushed by the fringe Black Hebrew Israelite sect.

There’s also no shortage of cosmic hippies and Atlantis stuff.

> “I don’t know what you’re talking about, I don’t know these accounts, and I haven’t watched any of these videos,” Bowman claimed in a statement to the *Daily Beast*.

Yet, when Bowman hosted a pro-Hamas panel in January, he introduced a pro-terror academic, who boasted that October 7 warmed his heart, by fangirling that, “I watch \[his videos\] all the time on YouTube.”

Like a hellfire preacher caught leaving a gay porn shop, Bowman is spluttering that it’s all just “research”.

> “Well over a decade ago, as I was debating diving into a doctoral degree, I explored a wide range of books, films, and articles across a wide swath of the political spectrum and processed my thoughts in a personal blog that few people ever read,” Bowman said in a statement earlier this year.  
>  
> [*New York Post*](https://nypost.com/2024/05/08/us-news/jamaal-bowman-had-a-secret-youtube-page-and-it-shows-hes-addicted-to-conspiracy-theories-report/?ref=goodoil.news)

Well, for *my* degree, I sometimes had to read out-there stuff like the ISIS magazine *Dabiq*. But only because I *was* studying, not “debating” doing so. But I never wrote blogs praising it or put up a public playlist of bookmarks.

Like the porn-totin’ preacher, this all smacks of much more than a disinterested curiosity.
