Fires in Patagonia: Falsely blamed on Israelis

Here's noted (unprosecuted) child rapist Matt Gaetz for OAN:

There is no verified evidence that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) the Israeli government, or individual Israelis are setting fires in Patagonia.

The claims we're seeing are a combination of a decades-old conspiracy theory and a single real-world accident involving an Israeli tourist in 2011.

Plan Andinia

The most persistent source of these accusations is a conspiracy theory called Plan Andinia.

The conspiracy theory involves a secret Zionist plot to carve out a second Jewish state in the Patagonia region of Argentina and Chile.

This theory was popularized in the 1970s by neo-Nazi and ultra-nationalist groups in Argentina. It has been thoroughly debunked by historians and governments alike as an antisemitic fabrication, similar to the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

Because many young Israelis visit Patagonia as tourists after completing their mandatory military service, conspiracy theorists point to their presence as "undercover IDF soldiers" scouting the land.

The 2011 Torres del Paine Incident

The only factual event often used to "prove" these claims was a massive fire in 2011.

In December 2011, an Israeli backpacker named Rotem Singer accidentally started a fire in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile while trying to burn toilet paper. The fire destroyed over 17,000 hectares.

Singer was arrested, fined, and admitted negligence. While this was a case of individual carelessness, it was seized upon by local politicians and online activists to "re-verify" the Plan Andinia conspiracy, claiming the fire was an intentional act of "ecological terrorism" by the IDF.

Recent Claims (2024–2026)

In the most recent wave of wildfires (including those in early 2026), the same narratives have resurfaced:

In January 2026, social media posts in Argentina claimed an Israeli military grenade (an M26) was found at a fire site.

Independent fact-checkers (such as Chequeado) and local provincial authorities investigated and found the device was actually an FMK-2 grenade, which is manufactured locally by the Argentine military industry (Fabricaciones Militares), not Israel.

Argentine President Javier Milei and provincial governors have publicly condemned these rumors as baseless and motivated by antisemitism.

MAGA-Aligned Network 'Seriously Considering' Seeking Payment From Trump's Slush Fund

One America News settled defamation lawsuits related to false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.

Anthony Orrico at HuffPost:

A key media ally of President Donald Trump is starting to circle the wagons in the wake of the Justice Department’s establishment of his $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” stemming from his lawsuit against the IRS. One America News, a pro-Trump network that promoted false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, is reportedly weighing claiming a piece of the taxpayer-funded slush fund, according to a report from CNN. A lawyer from OAN told the outlet that the company is “seriously considering pursuing rights under this fund and will make a decision shortly about whether to file a claim.” Most major cable providers dropped OAN after it settled multiple defamation lawsuits related to the 2020 election conspiracies.

CNN reportedly reached out to Fox News to inquire if they’d seek a claim under the fund, given that the network also settled a defamation lawsuit, similar to OAN, brought by Dominion Voting Systems for $787 million. Fox News has not responded as of yet, according to the report.

Ultra-MAGA propaganda network OANN is considering taking part in the The Trump Regime’s “Anti-Weaponization” slush fund.

Every time I watch mfb I feel the urge to redesign side characters so have a few quick designs

Check under the cut to hear me yap about my thoughts and design choices ⬇️

The Sodo Twins:

Honestly I’m not sure if these two are side characters in the same way the others are, they def are a little more important to the plot imo

Anyhow I just wanted an excuse to draw them lmao

My main goal for these guys was to differentiate their designs a little further and also make their colors feel more Yin and Yang

Also I added some fire and ice motives onto their belt buckles

Dan:

I thought it would be cool if the twins had more obviously different aesthetics, so I made Dan lean into a more elegant direction (I think it was the white opera gloves)

So I gave Dan earrings, white high heeled boots, hair in a ponytail and black lipstick

I fear in the process I might have invented trans femme Dan lmao

#congrats your a she/her now

Also I made the fully self indulgent decision to make Dan a little buff because drawing muscles has to be my favorite thing atm 😔

Reiki:

I tried to take a more “cool” approach with Reiki (I’m not cool at all so you gotta tell me if I succeeded lmao)

I gave him more of a tech wear aesthetic with super baggy cargos

I lowkey changed way less about him than Dan but ig I just like his Canon design a little more

OTA:

Osamu, Takashi and Akira were actually the reason I wanted to redesign side characters in the first place, I just think their designs are unfortunately very boring in canon :(

I mainly focused on making their colors feel palettes a little nicer and giving them some visually interesting clothing pieces

I thought it would be cute to incorporate the face bolt designs of their beys into their outfits since we obviously don’t actually see the beys in action much

(If your wondering about their beys:

O: found two sources for Osamu, one saying he uses Wind Wolf 145SF, one saying Wind Hydra 125FS, I went with Wolf but I’m not sure if that’s the right bey (lemme know if smo knows)

T: Clay Northern Cross 125FS

A: Heat Crow 145HF)

Also I gave them friendship bracelets cuz it’s precious <33

Osamu:

I really had to fix Osamu’s color pallet but other than that there wasn’t much to do

I made his button up be striped and gave him some sneakers for visual interest but that’s about it

Takashi:

I also didn’t change much about Takashi

I gave him a bit more of a preppy / nerdy style with a button up slacks and dress shoes

Also I wanted to give him glasses so badly but giving everyone glasses is actually my toxic trait so I restrained myself lmao

Akira:

I changed by far the most about Akira

Not sure what it was about him but he gave me major scene kid vibes so I indulged hahah

I gave him a racoon tail, baggy shirt and cargo shorts and also mismatched vans and fingerless gloves

Also I added orange and green to his color pallet for visual balance (and also just because these designs are def not colorful enough for my taste lmao)

Akira’s redesign definitely ended up as one of my favs I’m very happy w it :))

Sala:

Tbh I just decided to draw her because I gotta practice drawing younger kids and ngl I don’t actually like how this turned out all that much

I tried to make her outfit feel a bit more little girl while still keeping the active look from canon so I gave her a little flower hair clip, a cute collar and some ruffles on her shorts

The Dungeon Gym Bladers:

Tbh I could not figure out which of these guys is Oan, which is Brad and which is Bruce

Beyblade Wiki wasn’t helping and I even rewatched their first appearance but they aren’t introduced by name there

So I just assigned the names based on vibes, please correct me if I got them wrong!

These three were probably my favorites to redesign

Again I tried to differentiate their aesthetics and also their silhouettes cuz they lowkey all have the same height and body types

Brad:

I gave Brad balloon pants and converse and turned his collared shirt into a hoodie

I really tried to make his silhouette feel grounded and kinda heavy to contrast his fluffy hair and I really like how it looks

Oan:

Oan’s redesign is actually my favorite

Something about him gave me 70s vibes (I think it was the belt over shirt thing) so I leaned into that

I gave him bell bottoms with a floral design and referenced some actual 70s fashion for his belt buckle and shirt

Ig he’s a bit of a hippy now but that’s ok 🧡

Also I changed the shape of his afro just a little bit because Beyblade characters usually have super prominent shapes in their hair and I thought this way he’d look less like a plain background character

Bruce:

I thought it would be cute to make Bruce look a little softer and have his aviary / military jacket contrast that (I imagine he maybe got it from an older sibling or smth)

So I gave him a bit of a smaller, slimmer frame

Also oh boy was his original color palette a mess, I had to experiment a little to fix it but but I think it turned out well

Lastly I changed his bangs because way to many mfb characters have that exact bang shape (Hyōma, Tsubasa, Yu, Chi Yun - huh that’s my mfb top 4, what does that say about me?)

Notorious Trump Ally Served With Legal Papers During Live TV Interview

Lindell has been embroiled in legal battles related to false claims he made about the 2020 presidential election.

Heheheheheheheh  Mike Lindell was served with a lawsuit today while doing an interview at CPAC.

“Hi, sorry to interrupt,” the unidentified woman said.

“We’re on TV here, please,” Lindell repeatedly said while trying to shove the women out of frame.

“I know, you’ve been served,” the woman replied, even as Lindell refused to take the documents she tried to hand him.

“What are you serving him with?” the OAN reporter asked the woman.

“You’ve been served, so you have to take this. Thank you,” the woman said to Lindell.

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

War on Media Round Up from Last Week: Published 5/12/25

Public media executives push back against Trump targeting NPR and PBS: ‘Blatantly unlawful’

The president issued an executive order late Thursday trying to cut federal funding.

OAN's far-right coverage will fuel Voice of America

Senior presidential adviser Kari Lake struck a deal to have One America News Network supply content to Voice of America. Lake says the deal

They are replacing trusted non-partisan fact based media with fascist propaganda.

"Major league sports in and of itself is nothing but a psy-op. Get kids plugged into the cycle of going to public indoctrination camps, playing sports for their school, and going to games. Many end up devoting their entire childhood to competing in various sports only to be cut from the team, at which point they become brainwashed into supporting professional teams because they know their dreams of becoming a pro athlete will probably never happen"

Sometimes the worst person in the world is right.

Believe it or not, this is a rant by OAN right wing host Jesse Watters. Apparently the MAGA world is losing their damn minds over Taylor Swift and NFL conspiracy theories.
