For those few of you who missed the days of actualfa news, the current happening is a rerun of that favorite white nationalist sport

that’s right

infighting
specifically Nick Fuentes and Patrick Casey are now on the outs, and as Fuentes is of late the bigger figure that means Casey is on the outs with the Fuentes crew and allies, from Jaden McNeil to Michelle Malkin
tl;dr: people were asking Patrick Casey if he was going to Nick Fuentes’s AFPAC event and if not why not

so he cut a stream about how he wasn’t going because Nick Fuentes had had his bank accounts frozen and is under surveillance due to being investigated by the FBI
Fuentes assures everyone everything will be fine

and it’s not like he has ever been wrong about such things befo—

uh-oh

anyway, this has been your actualfa update
update to the actualfa update: I rarely do this but I went and listened to Patrick Casey’s whole stream about why he is not going to AFPAC and breaking from Fuentes’s America First crowd

there are people who listen to streams like this all the time

...why
I put it on double speed and it still took forever

I know groups like the ADL and SPLC pay people to listen to that stuff all day and my advice to those people is to march to your boss’s office and demand a raise right now
If you do go watch Patrick Casey’s stream on why he’s not going to AFPAC, the drinking game is every time he says some variant on “stabbed in the back”

here’s the tl;dr:
Per Patrick Casey:
* Fuentes & co are cultish and demanding of loyalty
* Fuentes’s bank account is frozen (likely related to the big Bitcoin donation he received as a foreigner’s death bequest)
* Fuentes believes he is under FBI surveillance and may be on a no-fly list

that’s it
Casey is not going to AFPAC bc he thinks that the Eye of Sauron burns too hotly, and has felt a bunch of little slights to boot.

He specifically mentions having seen Fuentes’s cultishness and disregard of consequences before with Richard Spencer.
Casey says he has screencaps of private conversations where Fuentes talks about FBI surveillance etc. but will not post them unless his own screencaps are leaked

meaning everybody’s private convos are pretty much guaranteed to leak like sieves shortly
There were two things that stood out to me:

The first is the loyalty thing; like I’ve said, Hard Righties are very vocal about getting loyalty but very bad about giving it.
Classic sequence:
1) Hard Righty Dude A demands loyalty and obeisance from Hard Righty Dude B
2) Dude B complains
3) Dude A is offended and he and cronies run down Dude B
4) Dude B criticizes Dude A for cultishness (and also for being disloyal to him)
5) War

Many such cases
The other thing that struck me is classic Hard Righty response to perceived threat.

HARD RIGHTIES. “Threats can come from ANYWHERE and CANNOT be controlled”
HARD LEFTIES. “Here are the risks; here are steps to mitigate them”
Example: Casey tells his audience the FBI will likely be tracking cell phone data at AFPAC

he does not, as Hard Lefties do, talk about tradecraft with phones and burners and such
Also the Hard Righties in general are in one of those phases where everybody is accusing everybody else of being a fed

Casey manages to say both that he doesn’t want Fuentes to get arrested and that he doesn’t THINK he’s a fed

which is a hilarious double shiv plant
Anyway, this has been your update to the actualfa update
oh yeah, one more item Patrick Casey let drop: when Jaden McNeil quit TPUSA to start America First Students, his resignation letter was (per Casey) written for him by Patrick Casey.

Today’s Moose-feeding movie is HIGH MOON (2019), wherein an Old West cowboy kills a werewolf outlaw gang before being dispatched by his interdimensional ninja mentor only to be resurrected in the present day where the also-resurrected werewolves have become a *motorcycle* gang.
JOE BOB BRIGGS VOICE. “Sure we’ve seen it before, but have we seen it *like this?!*”
Writer/director Josh Ridgway serves up a bit of a mixed bag: the premise is lunacy, the gore makeup is good, the werewolf makeup is terrible, the fights are decent, the cinematography is dull, all the scenes are too long.

The interesting part about Gosar and King attending AFPAC is the part afterwards where we’re gonna be finding out how much they’re really into it vs. how much they didn’t realize what they were in for by going.

Didn’t watch the speeches, but watched the reactions of people.
(For those who don’t know, AFPAC is the white nationalist event run by Nick Fuentes that piggybacks on CPAC to draw the clandestine and the curious — they got Steve King and sitting Congressman Paul Gosar to show up this year)
The white nationalists were either a) very excited to be validated or b) bristling, bc King’s speech twice used the term “Judeo-Christian” and Gosar has posted a ton of pro-Israel stuff, and Fuentes is of the branch of white nationalism that dislikes Jews more than black people.

Guessing somebody (e.g., admin figure, DOJ careerist, SPLC) put this case together out of existing info and pitched it as something Biden admin could use to make an early splash.

The question isn't the case; the question is: once they start shaking Ricky Vaughn, what falls out?
i.e., they could well decide to let Ricky Vaughn go with a warning, after investigating him to learn as much as possible about people he knew.
Read the complaint against Ricky Vaughn (justice.gov/opa/press-rele…) and some interesting things pop up:

* the investigation evidently got started with a re-interview of Paul Nehlen on October 5, 2020
* four co-conspirators are listed by twitter id number, but not account name

So everybody’s talking about the sudden popularity of sea shanties and I have a theory about something that’s been overlooked

namely, a couple of viral antecedents
One is from a video game: the insanely catchy “Keep Your Rifle By Your Side,” from FAR CRY 5.
The other is from a TV show: HBO’s THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES earworm “Misbehavin’.”

ME. “And you’ll never guess what the Boogaloo Bois did next!”
EVERYBODY WHO READS MY TWITTER, dully and in unison. “They kept using Discord”
ME. “THEY KEPT USING DISCORD”
leftcoastrightwatch.org/2021/01/citize…
“well, there’s the official proof the Boogaloo is a right-wing movement”

“the content of their Discord, huh”

“...content?”
RADICAL RIGHTIES. “The entire platform of Discord is compromised!Let’s go elsewhere”
ME. “Gonna make one big chatroom?”
RR. “Uh, yeah”
ME. “Gonna advertise it via general publicity in public forums?”
RR. “Of course”
ME. “Gonna let anybody join?”
RR. “Absolutely”
ME. “...carry on”
