The Free Press has identified Master Cpl. Patrik Mathews, 26, as the person behind the Winnipeg recruitment drive for the terrorist paramilitary organization The Base.
Mathews is an explosives expert. /1 winnipegfreepress.com/local/white-su…
His social media is largely bare - presumably the result of his pulling back from his socials once he joined The Base. /2
However, his social media still provides a look into the mindset through his page likes. They are almost entirely alt-right, cryptofascist, and meme culture.
He appears to have supported Bernier. /3
The seriousness of this cannot be overstated.
No different than ISIS, these men actively join the military, and recruit from those ranks.
The Base should be identified as a terrorist organization. The military must root out their members and take proactive steps. /4
Many thanks to @rk_thorpe for his outstanding work.
