/Stew Peters Network Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free _Mother Jones Daily_. In October, I wrote about how

bounty-hunter-turned-far-right-livestreamer Stew Peters was using the conflict in Gaza as an excuse to indulge in flagrantly antisemitic rhetoric. Back then, Peters mostly used coded

language, ranting about “Zionists” and the “globalists.” In the past few weeks, though, Peters has dispensed with the euphemisms, instead leveling his accusations against “the Jews.” On a

segment on his show last week, for example, he argued in a passionate diatribe that the United States was controlled by Jewish people. “Every institution in this country is led by somebody

and the two conversed about the need for an insurrection. “Do you think that America needs to see an insurrection—a violent one?” asked Peters. Kilgore responded: “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. 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.”   Over the past several years, Peters has attracted attention beyond just extremist circles; his anti-vaccine

movie _Died Suddenly_, viewed by at least 16 million people on Rumble, helped popularize a suite of conspiracy theories blaming celebrity deaths on Covid vaccines. Before Peters was a

far-right personality, he did stints as a rapper in Los Angeles and a bounty hunter in his hometown of Minneapolis. His turn to outright antisemitism is reaching a wide audience. In another

segment last week, about X owner Elon Musk’s visit to Auschwitz, Peters mused that the Holocaust may have been a hoax. “The gas chambers, the crematoriums—they were destroyed at the end of

World War II, if they were ever there in the first place,” he said. In a segment on Monday, Peters hosted Joe Minadeo II, the neo-Nazi conspiracy theorist who leads the hate group Goyim

Defense League. “It’s time we look into Hitler and go, ‘hey! Is he as bad as the Jews are saying he is?’” Minadeo said. “You’re studying up on Hitler,” said Peters. “Could he have been a

terrible person and a dictator and a ruthless murderer and a genocider? I don’t know, because there is so much propaganda.”  Later in the same segment, Peters indulged in a lengthy monologue

about powerful Jews. “Who are the primary shareholders in Pfizer?” he thundered. “Are they Jewish? What about our state department? What is the percentage of people that are Jewish in the

Biden administration or in the cabinet?” In addition to his show on Rumble, Peters also treats his 542,000 followers on X to a stream of antisemitic vitriol, fuming about “the Jewish

lobby/mafia” and “the Talmud’s sick gender ideology.” On Monday, he boasted on X about his anti-vaccine movie: > NEVER FORGET that when ALL of these other “dissident” media > COWARDS 

were scared to “lose their platform”, I went right into > the belly of the beast and dismantled the murderous, Jewish-funded, > genocidal mainstream media to save the lives of

over, Peters’ remarks stand out, particularly given his large following. Some users have called for his removal, but Peters seems to delight in defying them: > .@elonmusk this loser is 

trying to run a coordinated campaign to get > everyone in Europe to report me. >  > A free speech platform cannot exist when butthurt babies like this > guy are allowed to openly

responded to a query from _Mother Jones_ asking if they were aware of Peters’ antisemitic rhetoric, or had any plans to address it.
