Today I found my link to the conservative bloodstream had sent me a link to an article on Solomon Samuel Simone, which starts …
Solomon Samuel Simone (aka RAZ from CHAZ or CHOP) is the proclaimed warlord of CHAZ, the multi-block area located in Seattle. Raz hates America but owns multiple guns, luxury automobiles, millions in real estate.
More importantly, Raz is supported by the Islamic government in Dubai. [Notorious conservative site The Gateway Pundit]
So I decided to do a bit of research on this dude. According to the non-conservative websites, which mostly seem to consist of entertainment news and fandom sources, he appears to be a rapper and Seattle resident who has joined the semi-autonomous area of Seattle that is centered around the abandoned Seattle Police precinct.

I don’t have to identify the site I took the above from, because the DuckDuckGo search revealed multiple conservative sites using the same verbiage; in fact, the only site that didn’t in the first couple of pages is the Chinese-oriented, Trump-boosting The Epoch Times. I investigated their article, but they wanted my email address to see it, and I declined the opportunity to be harassed with yet more conservative spam.
So this topic has evolved from a search for truth, which could be difficult to complete, to a statistical evaluation of communications. In this case, we’re seeing multiple conservative sites waging what appears to be a war to discredit a black leader of a protest movement. This is a coordinated effort, not independent investigations, and should at the very least raise suspicions in the mind of the careful reader that anything these sites put out are not worthy of trust – or even of investigation. Given the context, we need only remember that a group without a leader is (sorry, anarchists) usually an ineffective rabble. That’s why leaders are often targeted.
Now excuse me while I chastise my conservative friend for being a sucker.
