Truthstream Media

Truthstream Media is a conspiratorial and pseudoscientific webshite run by a young couple Aaron and Melissa Dykes out of Angleton, Texas, which promotes, well, the expected conspiracy theories and pseudoscience, such as "bioengineering" vaccinesVaccines: An Ideal Covert Op to Genetically Re-Engineer Humans | Truthstream Media and "eugenicist" water.The Eugenicists Finally Got Sterilants Added to the Drinking Water | Truthstream Media They also seem to think that mind control is real,Technocratic Elite Domination via Mind Control and Mass Surveillance: Brzezinski Called It 45 Years Ago | Truthstream Media and other usual bullshit.
==InfoWars beginnings==
From 2006, Aaron was a prominent member of InfoWars, mainly focusing on the behind-the-scenes aspects of production like writing and video editing,Arron Dykes' LinkedIn page though that did not stop him from occasionally coming on air and promoting some dietary supplements with the big man himself.Amazing health benefits of Beyond Tangy Tangerine! Review by Alex Jones and Aaron Dykes Aaron has been credited with being the cinematographer for the Alex Jones-directed set of paranoid delusions posing as a 'documentary,' TerrorStorm: A History of Government-Sponsored Terrorism (2006).IMDB: TerrorStorm
In 2013, Aaron decided that he wanted to bask in the light of conspiratorial glory, so he parted ways with InfoWars and, along with his wife, created his very own pseudoscience peddling site we all know and love today.
==The Corbett Report interview==
Not long after the creation of their website, the couple appeared on the equally far removed from reality “independent, listener-supported alternative news source," The Corbett Report.Interview 704 – Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton on GMO Labeling The interview mainly focused on the promotion of GMO conspiracy theories "food freedom" and the "GMO agenda" with GMF labeling being the main talking point. During the interview, Aaron asserts that the GMF labelling discussion is a government sponsored red herring:Interview 704 - Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton on GMO Labeling | timestamp: 3:41
To no one's surprise, Aaron also has to mix Rockefeller into this, claiming that there is an "end game on the other side [that] has a lot to do with the Rockefeller's food agenda." On top of that, they also mention a "Global World Order" and Agenda 21 as reasons for food being "weaponised" with GMOs, because of course they do.
The rest of the interview focuses on the need for labeling of GMF so that the general populace wakes up to all the alleged harm done by GMOs.
==Snopes interaction==
On the 2nd of December, 2015, Truthstream Media released an asinine article titled Why Have There Been More Mass Shootings Under Obama than the Four Previous Presidents Combined?Archive 05/12/2015: Why Have There Been More Mass Shootings Under Obama than the Four Previous Presidents Combined?, Truthstream Media As the title suggests, they claim that that Obama's Presidency had a significant amount of mass shootings. This caught the attention of Snopes, which did a good job at debunking their moronic article.Did More Mass Shootings Take Place Under Obama Than Any Other President?, Snopes The take away points are that Truthstream Media used a really loose definition of mass shootings, cherry picking what classed as one. With a more critical eye, it became clear that their sources did not support the claim.
Suspiciously enough, you can no longer find this article on their website, nor the accompanying video on their YouTube channel. The traces of this blunder seem to have been completely removed, God forbid their trustworthy reputation gets tarnished.
