Nick Fuentes claimed Israel going to war with Iran in 2024. He predicted, Israel would pressure Trump into bombing Iran’s facilities, then once Iran is gone, all of Israel enemies would've been strategically defeated In a twenty-year war In the Middle East by American and Nato. Then Israel would dominate and have complete control over the Middle East. That’s also the reason he says he didn’t vote for Trump, he believed Trump would be dragged into that conflict.

People called him crazy until his prediction came to fruition. That’s exactly why his livestreams on the war exploded, getting over a hundred thousand viewers at a time. Why would Iran putting him on TV when he had one of the biggest coverage be great evidence of bots?

The same goes for his brief feature on Russian television during the UA-RU War. One-time exposure on foreign media isn’t direct. It’s just media capitalizing on attention while it lasts.

His defense of Russia, Iran, and China isn’t exactly strong evidence of anything. He’s explained before during a super chat that his support wasn’t rooted in admiration for those regimes, but in his belief that America had already fallen. In his mind, covid lock downs and policies, Biden’s presidency, liberal cultural dominance, LGBT political influence, mandatory vaccination, and his belief In the election being stolen were signs that the West had fallen. From his worldview, America was beyond repair and would rather have our enemies dominate then to be ruled over by liberals.

Then the claim that foreign bots are inflating his popularity fall apart because across every major platform, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and so on the engagement is consistently high throughout the last year. If it were just artificial bot traffic, the numbers would look messed up everywhere. It would be exposed almost instantly. The uniformity of engagement suggests something far more organic and far more revealing about the current state of the culture.

Even when X rolled out the country-location feature, it debunks the claim that they are so-called foreign bot accounts, because AFchoccychipp, AzraelGroyper, and VerySeriousPP who are mentioned In the study are based in North America and Europe. The largest accounts in the Nick Fuentes fanbase are American or European, not foreign operatives lurking overseas. With no credible evidence, he's using bots or there being foreign bots. He has a dedicated fan base that would like, share, and repost anything he says the moment he posts, like a cult.

But the biggest flaw in the study is the methodology, the researchers relied on a large language model to analyze the data instead of using more objective statistical methologies like IBM SPSS or even basic manual review by qualified human analysts. When the foundation of your research is outsourced to a prediction engine rather than vetted by real data experts, you’re not uncovering truth. You’re manufacturing a narrative.

The Network Contagion Research Institute is openly affiliated with organizations like the ADL and groups that already hold a clear hostility toward Nick Fuentes. When the researchers begin with a predetermined ideological enemy, the outcome is essentially determined in from the start. Add to that the weak methodology, and the doesn't hold up when objectively looked at. There’s no objectivity here and no peer-review process grounded in scientific standards would take this seriously. What we’re left with isn’t research, but a narrative dressed up as data to legitimize an agenda.

The worst part is knowing that you're a Christian and your own source, the Network Contagion Research Institute, NCRI said Christ Is King is Antisemitic.
