Daryl Bradford Smith

Daryl Bradford Smith (b. 14 February 1957 in Chowan County, North Carolina; d. 11 November 2024 in Le Dorat, France) was an American economist and alternative media personality, known for his radio show The French Connection and the website I am the Witness, created in 2005. This project is anti-Zionist, describing itself as dedicated to Zionism Research and Fighting Criminal Zionism. It promoted the works of Jewish dissidents such as Benjamin Freedman and his theory that Ashkenazis are in fact Khazars, Turko-Mongol converts. Smith has roots in New England but lived many years in France with his wife Pascal (originally from Lyon); hence the name of his radio show.

As a child, he adopted his stepfather's name of Setters (Donald Setters Sr.).[1] His mother was Shirley May Setters, nee France (1932–2012), who lived nearly her entire life in Somerset, New Jersey.[2] In the years shortly after World War II, the woman who as 16-year-old Shirley May France captivated an international following, while attempting to become the youngest female to swim the English Channel.[3] He had four siblings: Scott Smith of Somerset, Shelby Chapman Smith of Fall River, Donald Setters Jr. of Somerset, and Daniel Setters of Somerset.
The French Connection
Smith's radio show The French Connection first featured on the Republic Broadcasting Network in January 2005 and after a few months moved to the Genesis Communications Network associated with Alex Jones. Smith had a show on the network for some time and set up his own website IamtheWitness.com in June 2005. Many of Smith's shows talked about Zionism, paedophilia within the establishment and political blackmail; as a result, as of 6 February 2006, he show was dropped from GCN for causing "too many problems."
