Proud Boy chairman Enrique Tarrio will organize & attend the August 17th "Rally Against Antifa Domestic Terrorism" in Portland OR in conjunction with Proud Boy elder Ethan Nordean (a.k.a. Rufio Panman), according to PB propaganda outlet "Big League Politics".
Far-right personality Joe Biggs threatens to recruit & bring 1000 fighters from ex-police & ex-military groups. Biggs makes this threat while wearing a shirt that says "training to throw commies out of helicopters" in an homage to fascist Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.
Patriot Prayer acolyte & estranged Proud Boy Russell Schultz meanwhile threatens to put antifascists in body bags. Far-right street brawler Chris Ponte also declared himself an "antifa killer" & follows neo-Nazi and failed rapper David Woods on Twitter.
David Woods is known as blackhat on Twitter and proudly proclaims his neo-Nazi affiliation. Woods furthermore seeks to make the Pacific Northwest a whites-only ethnostate.
Proud Boy Chairman Enrique Tarrio has also made an effort to propagandize to white supremacists liked failed Toronto mayoral candidate Faith Goldy. When Tarrio appeared on Goldy's 5/6/19 "Canada First" broadcast, Goldy in fact admitted that many PBs volunteered for her campaign.
Faith Goldy is a white nationalist who lost her job at the far-right news outlet Rebel Media after she went to the deadly Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville. Goldy later went on the white supremacist Radio 3 Fourteen podcast to argue against nationality-based citizenship.
Goldy said that assimilation was impossible for immigrants who weren't white and called the notion of immigrants integrating into the country a "failed experiment". She then endorsed a whites-only state & declared "ethno-nationalism the maker or breaker of civilization".
Despite Enrique's ethnicity as an Afro-Cuban American, he additionally attended the Unite the Right demonstration in Charlottesville, VA along with Faith Goldy. A white flag with the insignia of the white supremacist group Identity Evropa is clearly visible in the background.
PB elder Ethan Nordean also seems at least sympathetic to white nationalism. On July 13, 2018, he appeared on the white-supremacist & Neo-Nazi You Tube show called the Ralph Retort. Neo-Nazi Mike Enoch went on the program only two days before Nordean's appearance.
Once on the program, Nordeen reassures his white-supremacist podcast hosts by refusing to denounce the alt-right. In fact he regards them as valuable allies against the left & said the PBs could have "brought back in" a white supremacist member they formerly rejected.
One Ralph Retort viewer named "SPQR" called into the chat and actually volunteered to teach Nordeen about the "ethnostate". In addition, she mentioned [4:58], "I think he's [Nordeen's] almost there, you know. I think he's almost in the alt-right".
Before Nordean's appearance on the Ralph Retort on 7/13/2018, Nordean & his fellow Proud Boys attended Joey Gibson's "freedom rally" at the University of Washington on 2/10/18. Nordean parroted the 4-chan /pol white supremacist slogan "It's Okay to Be White" & said "White Power".
The okay hand gesture originated as a 4-chan trolling scheme to make leftists look ridiculous regarding their fear of white supremacy reemerging in America. However at least by 2019, white supremacist murderers like NZ mosque shooter Brenton Tarrant used the sign sincerely.
Similarly the seemingly innocuous phrase "It's Okay to Be White" recently originated from a 4-chan trolling scheme but committed white supremacists appropriated the phrase by the early to mid 2000s. The KKK in fact printed flyers with the slogan by 2005.

Why are the allegedly"anti-racist" Proud boy elders willing to collaborate with white supremacists in the first place? The answer to the question lies in the Proud Boys' ideology as a political project designed to promote the ideals of white nationalism in a multi-ethnic society.
The PB's ideology originated in the ideas of Patrick J. Buchanan who urged the far-right to wage a "culture war" against "cultural Marxism", or equality based social movements, in a "clash of civilizations". He likened "cultural Marxism" to colon cancer endangering the host.
Buchanan & Proud Boys' founder Gavin McInnes gladly unite with Neo-Nazis like Richard Spencer in their crusade against social movements promoting equality. Spencer got McInnes a job at the far-right Taki's Magazine & Buchanan writes for the white nationalist site VDARE.
William Lind & Sam Francis proof-read Buchanan's"Death of the West". Lind initially popularized the "cultural Marxism" conspiracy theory & spoke before a 2002 conference of Holocaust deniers. Francis also edited the neo-confederate Council of Conservative Citizen's newsletter
Francis promoted a "revolution from the middle" of Midwestern white Americans in Buchanan's polemic "Death of the West" (p.251). Francis's propaganda from the Council of Conservative Citizens would then inspire Charleston, SC shooter Dylann Roof, who murdered 8 black worshipers.
Acc. to a laudatory profile of Francis on the white nationalist website VDARE, the writer ironically praised Francis's proposal to repeal hate crimes legislation & to abolish "politically correct policies and regulations", which included banning "multiculturalist curricula".
Lind devised the "cultural Marxism" conspiracy where Jewish intellectuals from the Frankfurt school & Institute for Social Research in Germany would covertly advance Marxism through controlling the culture, colleges & Hollywood to covertly destabilize the social order in the 60s.
The "cultural Marxism" term deployed in Proud Boy memes originates with the Nazi term Kulturbolschewismus to denounce artistic movements deemed to promote "degeneracy" & Jewish Marxist subversion. Former presidential candidate Ron Paul tweeted a meme based on this concept.
Neo-Nazi Richard Spencer acted as a spokesman for Ron Paul's campaign in 2008 which mainstreamed Buchanan & Lind's ideas. Spencer would go on to work for Buchanan & billionaire Taki Theodoracopulos's pub. "The American Conservative" & would get McInnes a job at Taki's Magazine.
On the far-right Rebel Media, McInnes later called white supremacists like Spencer & Jared Taylor "pretty good guys" and used "western chauvinism" as a euphemism for white nationalism to render their ideas more socially acceptable.
McInnes' connections to white supremacists lend credence to Proud Boy founding member Jovanni Vale's assertion that the Proud Boys started as a "white nationalist group" before re-branding as multi-racial to appease "political correctness" in what he terms as "cucking out".
Vale claimed that the Proud Boys appointed Tarrio as their chairman for the sake of looking "less racist" in the media & ranted about Tarrio's token status. He then admitted that "White nationalists were allowed in the movement b/c that's where it started--with white nationalism"
Even Donald Trump dispelled any ambiguity about Buchanan & the Proud Boys' white supremacist ideology when he called Buchanan a "Hitler lover" during a 1999 interview while Buchanan campaigned for president under the Reform Party ticket.
Twenty years later Trump approvingly quoted Buchanan in reference to further Mexican border militarization which has led to the mass internment & abuse of Central American immigrants.
A May 2017 memo titled "POTUS & Political Warfare" published under Michael Flynn's tenure at the NSC echoed Buchanan's lang. re."cultural Marxists". The memo also speculated that Antifa, BLM, & CAIR aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood to subvert "Western Values" like PBs claim.
The Republican Party's progressively greater alignment with the ideology of Buchanan, Lind, and Francis during the past 20 years explains why leading Republican figures have welcomed the Proud Boys.
Most recently Proud Boy Chair Enrique Tarrio claimed he was en route to meet Vice President Mike Pence in Washington D.C. some time around June 24th of 2019, less than a week before the alt-right "Demand Free Speech Rally" held in the capital.
Tarrio additionally met Donald Trump Jr. during CPAC 2019 on February 28th. Tarrio then complained to Trump Jr. about the "rampant censorship" of conservatives despite having the listening ear of the President's son.
He also met Turning Point USA darling Rep. Dan Crenshaw, who blames the abuse of immigrants by Border Patrol and ICE on the Democrat's refusal to fund a border wall & roundly criticizes Rep.Ocasio-Cortez for her refusal to support ICE and a militarized border.
Senator Ted Cruz and Tarrio met at CPAC 2019 as well.
To the delight of Proud Boys like Russell Schultz, Cruz later called for federal "legal action" against Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler for allegedly withholding police protection from far-right writer Andy Ngo when antifascists gave him a black eye & scratches on June 29th, 2019.
Although Ngo was released from the hospital less than a day after the incident despite claiming on Twitter that he suffered a brain hemorrhage, nationalist pundits & operatives will exploit the situation to advance far-right organizing and intimidation in left-leaning areas.
Ngo's friend Michelle Malkin is a paleoconservative writer & contributor to the white nationalist website VDARE. She advocated internment w/o trial for Japanese Americans in WW2 & American Muslims during the "War on Terror". She also fund-raised for Ngo's "recovery".
The exaggeration of Ngo's injuries after he harassed anti-fascist protesters multiple times during the counter-protest on July 29th is a pretext for federal protection for nationalist demonstrators & surveillance of leftist activists while the far-right can injure w/ impunity.
Ngo and his far-right supporters like Malkin and Joey Gibson of Patriot Prayer seek to detract from their involvement and encouragement of fascist street brawlers to attack anarchists at a bar called Cider Riot, where Ian Kramer knocked out a woman cold & fractured her vertebra.
Despite clear evidence showing the attack, the mainstream media outside of Oregon has almost exclusively focused on Ngo's much less severe injuries and ignored the actions of Kramer with the help of far-right, influential pundits like Michelle Malkin.
Andy outed the name of the woman Kramer knocked out on Twitter to his hard-right followers & seemed to imply she deserved the assault b/c she nonviolently disrupted a talk held by a James Damore, an ex-google employee sympathetic to the misogynistic "men's rights movement".
Ngo publicized the rally which functioned as a pretext to attack leftist activists on May Day. Facebook posts from Haley Adams, a white nationalist organizer associated with Joey Gibson, attested to this fact. Adams & violent Patriot Prayer member Don Willis promoted Ngo as well.
A 4/30/19 post on Twitter from Patriot's United, a group led by Don Willis Adams hashtaged in her Facebook post about scoping out the ICE Detention building, threatened imminent violence against Portland leftists.
Andy's information likely enabled Adams & the rest of Patriot Prayer's followers to identify the woman Kramer assaulted on Facebook. The far-right supporters of Patriot Prayer then had an opportunity to additionally threaten & harass the injured woman.
According to Puget Sound Anarchists, the neo-Nazi's name is actually Matthew Lee Combs, husband of infamous Oregon weed-Nazi Bethany Sherman. I got Combs confused for David Woods.

Mr. Blackhat is actually Matthew Lee Combs. He is in the green jacket and slender of medium build seig heiling next to the unmasked David Woods in the "Holocaust is Hokum" picture.
