Who the f_ck is Jackson Hinkle

From Teen Vogue's Top 8 Young Environmentalists to the front page of Rumble pushing Russian Propaganda

Jackson Hinkle is the host of the video podcast, The Dive, who’s show tagline is ‘propaganda made by and for the proletariat‘. A couple of weeks ago Jim Stewartson and I noticed that his show was on the front page of Rumble.

His Putin-loving propaganda apparently delighted the Tucker Carlson authoritarian Nazi staff at Fox and gave him a segment.

Today, somehow I ended up watching this little punk on his stream and decided to see where the hell he came from. Did Richard Spencer have a baby that I didn’t know about?

Turns out, its a weird story that needs more looking into.

Take Jackson’s introduction this morning shows War Criminal Vladimir Putin walking down hallways while the Rolling Stones song Satisfaction plays. Hinkle explains that the music video he crafted is to describe what Ukrainians and Europeans are feeling because of Putin’s unprovoked war. Jackson says “they can’t get what they want, and they’re also not going to get what they need, and that’s energy in time for winter”. His Nazi smirk about human beings freezing to death in the cold is just evidence of the callousness of Putin’s American Propagandists.

Considering the recent indictment of Moscow resident Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov for “allegedly” funding Russian propaganda with an aim to exploit division in the United States, including some far-left activist groups, its not a stretch to think that maybe Jackson Hinkle had some lessons in bullshit.

If you have not yet read the @BylineTimes report by @MattBernardini7 and @Heidi_Cuda, now would be a good time to do that.

bylinetimes.comAgitation and Propaganda: Russian Indicted for Using US Political Groups as Foreign Agents – Byline TimesA Russian national backed by the Russian state has been indicted by the US Justice Department for funding and using members of American political groups as foreign agents of Russian Intelligence in nearly a decade of malign influence operations

In it, they discuss how Ionov, with other FSB agents, funded and directed organizations to push extreme content and pro-Russian narratives, with the goal of creating anti-democratic sentiment and division.

I find Heidi’s mention here about the FSB financing City Council candidates may be relevant, and its also why I say a deeper look at Jackson Hinkle is needed.

Amazing that @TheJusticeDept Ionov indicted included granular details on how the FSB cutout financed city council candidates and fake leftist groups.

Jackson Hinkle happened to run for San Clemente City Council. He received the Orange County Peace Coalition’s 2018 “Rising Star” award.

I found a write up about Jackson Hinkle, candidate for San Clemente City Council from September 26, 2019 on a website “GREEN[.]org”.

The write up is archived here. In it, the writer interviews Hinkle where they discuss his community organizing and activism surrounding plastics and solar panels. He apparently led an initiative to have solar panels installed at California high schools. Additionally it states he spoke to US Congress, briefing them on Nuclear Power Plant Safety and nuclear waste storage issues. All of this seems incredibly advanced for a, at the time, 17-year old who now spouts Putin talking points.

Hinkle is almost unrecognizable in this video interview he did in 2020. His appearance, voice and even the way he structures his statements are so far removed from the guy we see today on his Rumble featured podcast.

However, in the interview he does mention one particular person that tosses up the red flag warning, Tulsi Gabbard. Considering this recent data point that Mike Flynn fanboys over Tusli’s musings on Russia and Ukraine, its probably safe to assume that the “Secondary Infektion” continues.

In addition to that strange award which simply no longer could describe what Hinkle propagates on a daily basis, he was also named Teen Vogue’s Top 8 Young Environmentalists for 2017.

Jackson Hinkle, an avid surfer, has always been aware of the issue of plastic pollution and its effects on ocean ecosystems; but it wasn’t until this year, when he became a Water Ambassador for The Water Effect at The Ecology Center that he began to realize how far reaching the threats of plastic water bottles are.

A profile of Jackson Hinkle on “Crazy Progressives - a.k.a. ‘the Far Left’” says:
”Jackson’s political commentary is populist in nature and his understanding of political issues belies his young age.

As comfortable in front of the camera as he is leading a Medicare For All or 15$ min Wage march on Congress, young Jackson is laying down the foundation for a terrific presence on the progressive media landscape.”

Nothing about this pro-Trump rant today is progressive or left-leaning.

As I said up top, more investigation into Jackson Hinkle’s transformation from surfer boy environmentalist to Kremlin Propaganda spewing pretty boy Nazi is certainly warranted. Hinkle seems to be a candidate for a case study in the capture of the issues that matter to the American political left.

Personally, Ron Paul and his cohort of conspiratorial anti-government bullshit may be to blame for some of it. Hinkle’s show, The Dive is sponsored by Birch Gold, which he mentions “also sponsors Ron Paul”. A deep dive into Birch Gold is something for another day, but a quick search shows that they also sponsor Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, 7 Mountains Dominionist Lance Wallnau, Hugh Hewitt’s podcast, RSBN’s network, and Ben Shapiro. So that should give you a quick idea of Birch Gold’s audience.

If we are ever going to temper the extreme polarization in America, people like Jackson Hinkle are where we need to start. Deradicalization, regulation on disinformation, and certainly campaign finance reform are actual solutions that deserve some serious discussion.
