#2873: Jason Fyk

Jason Fyk is a conspiracy theorist and social media … personality, most famous, presumably, for the quixotic and failed lawsuit he brought, apparently with the support of Dennis Prager, against Facebook after Facebook ruined his business by shutting down the pages he had painstakingly created that were dedicated (solely) to images and videos of people peeing, and which Fyk himself considered something of an ultimate battle for free speech rights.

 

But Fyk has been a recurring presence in conspiracy theory circles for a long time. He has been a frequent guest at InfoWars and NaturalNews and a speaker at events like the 2019 American Priority Conference, and he was an early promoter of QAnon conspiracy theories, frequently posting “Q” posts about things like “Hillary's 16 year genocide plan! They want to wipe out all but 500 million people on the earth. This isn’t a game or a bluff”. In March 2018, for instance, Fyk reposted a “Q” post calling the Parkland mass shooting “FAKE” and describing it as a “distraction” that was, as Q so eloquently put it, “organized & designed to DISTRACT” (presumably from the Satanic child trafficking ring of politicians and celebrities that Trump was working secretly and hard to dismantle) and which featured “ACTORS [who] are ACTING.”

 

Diagnosis: A relatively minor cog in the colorful and dangerous wingnut conspiracy theory machinery, perhaps, but he is somewhat well connected and keeps popping up together with more central figures in the movement. You should of course not listen to anything he has to say about anything, but not enough people (i.e. not everyone) appears to follow that piece of advice.
