From Memes to Infowars: How 75 Fascist Activists Were “Red-Pilled”. bellingcat.com/news/americas/…
The vast majority of domestic terror attacks in the U.S. are carried out by white supremacist organizations. Atomwaffen, a neo-Nazi death squad with five killings to their name, is probably the deadliest fascist group to have arisen since 2016. /1
One member of Atomwaffen, Vasillios Pistolis, was an active duty U.S. marine when he marched at the first Unite the Right rally. Pistolis also posted regularly on a series of fascist and white supremacist Discord servers, prior to and after joining Atomwaffen. /2
The media collective Unicorn Riot has archived hundreds of thousands of posts from these Discord servers. Their database includes dozens of conversations where fascists discuss how they were converted to their extremist beliefs. /3 discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/discord/user/1…
Bellingcat collected “red-pilling” stories from seventy-five fascist activists. The analysis is below, details on the activists we studied can be found here. /4 docs.google.com/document/d/1kp…
What is red-pilling? An online community develops its own lingo over time. Among fascist activists “red-pilling” means converting someone to fascist, racist and anti-Semitic beliefs. /5
The term originates with “The Matrix,” a popular 1999 film. The protagonist is offered the choice between a red pill, which will open his eyes to the reality of a machine-dominated world, and a blue pill, which will return him to ignorance and safety. /6
The definition of “red pill,” as used by fascists, is rather elastic. Films and songs are described as “red pilled” if they reinforce a far-right worldview. At least one poster referred to amphetamines as red-pilled. /7
There appears to be no agreed-upon standard for when a human being is red-pilled. Most fascist activists agree that acknowledgement of the Jewish Question, or JQ, is critical. This means believing that Jewish people are at the center of a vast global conspiracy. /8
The end goal of this conspiracy is usually described as “white genocide”, but there are numerous variations. /9 Image
Red pilling is described as a gradual process. Individual people can be red-pilled on certain issues and not others. /10
Stefan Molyneux, a popular author and far-right YouTube personality, is seen as being red-pilled on race and “the future of the west” even though he is not considered as a fascist. /11
Prominent YouTuber PewPewDie is also often considered red-pilled. It is accepted that media personalities need to hide their outright fascist beliefs, or “power level”, in order to have a chance at red-pilling the general population (usually called “normies”). /12 Image
How to red-pill others is a constant topic of conversation. In this thread one user talks about how he “skirted the jew question” in order to red-pill a co-worker. Instead, he claims to have exploited his co-worker’s hatred of “SJW”s. /13 discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/discord/view/3…
Other users advise starting the red-pilling process with the JQ. Disagreements mainly center around which techniques are most effective. The overall goal is quite clear. /14 Image
The “normie” to fascist pipeline: Pres Donald Trump is seen as having red-pilled many Americans. A number of fascist activists credit his candidacy as the start of their awakening. This conversation between users Buddy Hobbs & ecce_lux is a useful breakdown of how that looks. /15 Image
“The great meme war” is a reference to time this user spent on 4chan and possibly 8chan, creating far-right memes in order to red-pill other people during the election. /16

A false flag is a covert operation in which one party or group carries out a hostile act and frames another party to make it look like the other party was responsible. The goal is to deceive people into thinking that a different group is responsible for the harmful action.
While specific operations would remain secret, historical examples, public records, and expert analysis describe several tactics a government might employ to conduct a false flag operation to brand political opponents as terrorists.
These methods focus on creating a fabricated event, planting false evidence, or using disinformation to manipulate public perception and justify authoritarian policies to be created and enforced with overarching public support.

Okay so let’s say a few countries may have the Epstein files or the blackmail: France, UK, Russia & Israel. The last two likely hung it over Trump’s head plus bribes; now enter the Ukraine war; the UK invites Trump over, shows him what MI6 has, he changes position again.
Here is the kicker, the UK, Russia (the USSR), and Israel were all sharing many of the same information brokers / spies in the 70s and 80s; one of their best publicly confirmed ones was a wealthy tycoon named Robert Maxwell.
Mr Maxwell, being the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, was rumoured to be running an espionage network gathering information on other wealthy tycoons, royals, and politicians which was being relayed back to both countries meaning copies of the same content for all with maybe some variation.

Intelligence agencies use a variety of coercion tactics, though directly coercing people to kill others is illegal. When they do use this method they typically use intimidation, manipulation, or exploitation to compel individuals to act in a manner that serves their interests.
Intelligence agencies might collect sensitive or damaging information about a target individual and use it for leverage. Often through monitoring their online and/or criminal activities. They select their target and isolate it from his or her community or family.
By threatening to reveal this information, such as criminal activity such as child rape, infidelity, LGBT shaming or financial misconduct, they can pressure the person into cooperating.

Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, is speculated to be a Groyper based on his memes and rhetoric.

Groypers are a loose network of alt right pro Trump extremist who are vocal supporters of white supremacist and “America First” podcaster Nick Fuentes. Image
Groypers regularly confront mainstream conservative and right wing organizations like Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA (TPUSA) for failing to promote a truly “America First” agenda and for not being adequately “pro white” or too pro Israel.
Fuentes is careful to position the Groypers not as white supremacists but rather as “Christian conservatives” who oppose, among other things, immigration (undocumented and legal), globalism, Jews, gay and transgender rights and feminism.

US Trump regime is unofficially conducting clandestine influence operations across multiple allied countries including in the EU in particular the UK & France, however, Canada and Mexico face the highest threat level right now. The Trump regime ops are seemingly running in parallel with Russian ops.
In Canada the US is likely recruiting / using IDU tied politicians, like PP, and boosting separatist sentiments, anti-Canada disinformation and inflaming racial narratives. Regime operatives have also been spotted visiting First Nations territories, unknown what type of deal they are offering.
In Mexico the Trump regime has increased CIA operations, is targeting/ recruiting PRI party politicians into backing a US military intervention. An uptick of right wing disinformation has also been spotted amplifying mostly false allegations of cartel ties to the current Mexican president.
