For more than two decades, David Reaboi’s work has followed a single question: how hostile powers can shape what Americans believe through weaponized information—and how to fight back.

Today, he builds knowledge systems that combine human expertise, deep research, and artificial intelligence to combat hostile information campaigns at the scale and tempo at which they are waged. This work is the culmination of his career as an analyst and practitioner of information and political warfare; a writer’s command of argument and explanation; and the creative rigor of his own AI methodology.

He is the founder of EDUT, which counters antisemitic conspiracy narratives and the information operations that spread them. He is the author of Qatar’s Shadow War (2021) and The Epstein Conspiracy (2026), and his next book, Viral Libels: Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories as Information Warfare, is forthcoming in 2027.

David is president of Strategic Improvisation, the firm he founded in 2019. He previously served as Vice President for Strategic Communications at the Center for Security Policy, Senior Vice President for Strategic Operations at Security Studies Group, and Communications Director for Right on Crime at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. His writing has appeared in Tablet, inFOCUS Quarterly, the Claremont Review of Books, The Washington Times, and elsewhere, and he has spoken around the world on media, policy, and influence. He lives in Miami Beach.

The lie that Jeffrey Epstein ran a sexual-blackmail operation for Israeli intelligence has convinced millions of Americans that their leaders are compromised and their wars are fought on Israel’s orders. In The Epstein Conspiracy, David Reaboi, a longtime writer on political warfare and information operations, shows that Russia very likely manufactured, laundered, and activated it as information warfare. Its real target is America’s capacity to reason about its own national interests.

The Jewish Question has returned to the center of American political life. Claims of hidden Jewish control that once lived on the white-nationalist fringe now run through mainstream broadcasts on the Right and the Left, where commentators describe America as an “occupied nation.” Their entry point was a single lie: that Jeffrey Epstein ran a sexual-blackmail operation for Israeli intelligence. It has convinced millions of Americans that their leaders are compromised and their wars are fought on Israel’s orders.

In The Epstein Conspiracy, David Reaboi, a longtime writer on political warfare and information operations, shows that Russia very likely manufactured, laundered, and activated that lie as information warfare. Its real target is America’s capacity to reason about its own national interests. A country consumed by the question of who secretly runs it cannot govern itself toward any coherent end.

The claim rests on the uncorroborated word of a single discredited source. Years of investigation, litigation, prosecution, and millions of pages of released documents have produced no evidence for it, and as intelligence tradecraft it makes no sense. Reaboi reconstructs the campaign in four phases: seeding, supply, laundering, and activation. He traces how the claim traveled anyway, from that source through progressively more credible outlets and Russian state media to America’s largest podcasts. There it reached an audience whose distrust of its own institutions made it ready to believe. He then tests the case against the criteria once used to attribute Soviet disinformation: operational signature, strategic interest, and institutional architecture.

The book also contains the first English translation of excerpts from Aleksandr Dugin’s Konspirologiya, annotated by Reaboi. They reveal the doctrine behind the operation: antisemitic conspiracy theories as weapons against an open society, designed to break down a nation’s standards of evidence and reason. As a result of this campaign, the central argument of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion has reached millions of Americans for the first time at scale.

Reaboi argues that the United States must move beyond content moderation, treat such operations as foreign attacks, and identify and disrupt the intelligence services and operators behind them, using the methods it developed against transnational terrorist networks. Because Israel is the operation’s second target, he argues, the two countries should answer it together.
