Susli was born in Damascus; her family moved to Australia when she was a child. According to The Daily Beast, Susli has a positive opinion of Hezbollah. She is a contributor to the far right website InfoWars, and has participated in online broadcasts hosted by its founder, Alex Jones. She has appeared on podcasts hosted by David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, as well as those of the Holocaust denier Ryan Dawson. She has been interviewed by Richard Spencer for the YouTube channel of his National Policy Institute, a white supremacist group. Susli has cast doubt on the number of Jews killed during the Holocaust, saying: "Jews were ethnically cleansed from Germany… specifics and numbers and events...I’m going to leave that to the historians. And I think you’d find that there's historians on both sides." In Susli's opinion, the New World Order opposes independent governments, including the Syrian government. She has asserted that the Freemasons and the Illuminati collaborate with the governments of the United States and Israel, as well as NATO, in international events; that Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are a single front organisation of the Central Intelligence Agency ; that 9/11 was an inside job; that ebola is possibly part of the United States biological weapons program; and that the United States Department of Defense secretly manipulated the Gamergate controversy.
War in Syria
Describing herself as a "Patriot Syrian Nationalist, who rejects any breach of Syrian sovereignty", in a Vice interview, Susli began writing and speaking on the Syrian Civil War in 2012. She has made a series of video and social media commentaries which have been downloaded to her account on YouTube. One video on the platform If Syria Disarms Chemical Weapons We Lose the War had been viewed 44,720 times by October 2014. In the interview she said, the Syrian rebels had negligible democratic credentials and, in reality, were from the "regressive Muslim Brotherhood". Asserting that Syria was under threat from outside forces, "the thing to do was stand by the army and government and call for peaceful democratic reform". Using the name Mimi al Laham, she reiteratedthat it would be a "grave mistake" for Assad to renounce chemical weapons, in an RT interview with Abby Martin. Susli has been accused of "Trolling for Assad", and has claimed the Houla massacre in 2012 was the work of the British intelligence agencies. Along with Theodore Postol, she has rejected the claims that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons of any sort. In a YouTube video, she referred to evidence posted by Postol, suggesting that the 2017 Khan Shaykhun chemical attack, alleged to have killed 74 people, was not the work of the Assad government. Seymour Hersh, in defence of Postol, insisted: "He talked to her once on one thing". After the Skripal poisonings in Salisbury, England in March 2018, her Twitter account posted 2,300 posts over a 12-day period, accessed by 61 million users. The Guardian newspaper initially described her as being a "Russian bot", but subsequently changed its article by substituting "account" for "bot". Susli, in response, said in one of her videos: "I am not a robot; I am a human being." In her interview with The Daily Beast in 2017, Susli indicated that she does not support President Bashar al-Assad or associates of the Syrian Ba'athist party. She said this, according to the website "espite her trolling over Assad’s enemies, despite her appearances on Assad-friendly media outlets, and despite her connections to pro-Assad hackers." In one video she said Syria had been targeted because it does not allow genetically modified crops and lacks what she called "a Rothschild central bank", a reference to a Rothschild family conspiracy theory.
