In this episode of 51-49, host James Li examines a seemingly organic backlash against Harley-Davidson for its "woke" leadership and DEI initiatives, which quickly escalated into a coordinated influencer campaign urging riders to switch to Indian Motorcycles. Tracing the money and connections, Li uncovers links to undisclosed paid promotions, influencer agencies, and Brad Parscale—a FARA-registered agent for an Israeli government-linked entity—whose firms allegedly orchestrated the astroturfing effort. The piece argues this isn't just corporate drama but part of a broader foreign influence operation designed to exacerbate America's cultural divisions from within.
