TIL of 20 year-old Jewish-American Joshua Goldberg: who was implicated in the "Draw Muhammad" Garland, Texas shootings and Kansas City bombing, supported ISIS on Twitter, and wrote anti-Palestinian articles. He was arrested in September 2015 for planning an attack in Kansas City. (More in comments).

This is the motherload of "holy fuck" here.

Not only was he supporting ISIS on Twitter, he was posting anti-Islamic articles on Israeli Times, and posting feminist articles for Daily Kos, Thought Catalog, and Feministing.

He had 20+ alts here on Reddit posting false-flag attacks on himself with articles that he himself wrote. https://np.reddit.com/r/NolibsWatch/comments/3knaoj/more_of_joshua_goldbergs_bullshit_on_reddit_he/

He attacked himself on Twitter so that he could legitimize himself towards Feminists and gain their trust.

He posed as a writer on DailyStormer that Gawker picked up on https://archive.is/bOHew#selection-3631.1-3631.41 to send Stormfront to /r/conspiracy, /r/coontown, and other subreddits. He was the moderator of various quarantined hate subreddits.

He posted on /r/ShitRedditSays, /r/GamerGhazi, /r/SubredditDrama, /r/AntiPozi, /r/PanicHistory, /r/EnoughLibertarianSpam, /r/TumblrInAction, /r/KotakuInAction, and many others.

He also got into arguments on WikiPedia for some years: https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiInAction/comments/3kyeb6/terrorist_troll_joshua_goldberg_had_a_wikipedia/

This guy played everyone on all sides in the free-speech, anti-hate speech arguments that have constantly popped up recently.
