John Bolton, President Donald Trump's new national security adviser, chaired an anti-Muslim think tank that promotes false, misleading, and discriminatory news — and has been promoted by Russian troll factories, NBC reported Monday.

The New York-based non-profit group, Gatestone Institute, regularly publishes articles promoting unsubstantiated claims concerning an "army" of "jihadists" taking over Europe, the "Great White Death" of "native" Europeans, and mass rape perpetrated by immigrants and refugees.

Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the civil rights and advocacy group Council on American-Islamic Relations, told NBC that Gatestone is "a key part of the whole Islamaphobic cottage industry on the internet." The Intercept first reported on Bolton's ties to Gatestone.

Gatestone's work has been promoted and spread by Russian troll factories, according to NBC, and many of the group's authors have appeared on Russian state-funded media, including Sputnik and RT News.

Bolton=Mercer=Cambridge Analytica=Russia=The entire freaking right wing.

My head hurts trying to grasp how oligarchy, greed, fear, and hate have attacked our democracy so systematically.
