One of QAnon's Most Antisemitic Influencers Is Actually a 39-Year-Old Baptist From Florida


https://www.vice.com/en/article/93yvmv/qanon-ghostezra-is-robert-randall-smart

One of QAnon’s most prolific, popular, and antisemitic influencers has been revealed to be a deeply religious 39-year-old Trump supporter in Florida.

Researchers at Logically on Friday published an investigation into the identity of GhostEzra, an antisemitic QAnon figure, identifying him as Robert Randall Smart of Boca Raton.

Smart, who is married with one son, appears to have operated a number of online businesses, including as an Amazon reseller, selling everything from dog food to garden equipment.

Pictures of Smart on social media show him surrounded by family and often wearing a “45” baseball hat in support of Donald Trump.

Turns out a popular anti-trans QAnon influencer is just an evangelical zealot from Florida

An alt-right online personality that became an influencer to hundreds of thousands in online circles on Telegram and Twitter has been unmasked as a man from Florida by a fact-checking technology company.

GhostEzra began a major figure in the QAnon conspiracy movement following Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 general election. He amassed over 330,000 followers just from spreading falsehoods, conspiracies, and bigotry, like claiming that President Joe Biden is actually dead and sharing a film that tells viewers that Jewish people created communism to advance their plans for world domination.
