Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro, who gained fame through their anti-woke rhetoric

The Backgrounds and Think Tanks
One striking feature of these figures is their affiliations. Many are tied to influential think tanks and institutions with deep-rooted connections to U.S. intelligence and military-industrial complexes. For example, Douglas Murray is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a think tank with origins linked to the controversial William J. Casey, a former CIA director involved in major clandestine operations, including the Iran-Contra affair.
