This right here is why Philadelphia Proud Boys President Zach Rehl is not in jail with his buddies. The Philly PBs chapter is a cesspool of federal informants. The feds give them a long leash to do fashy shit so long as the snitches feed them a steady stream of intel.
In this chat, “Zach Pb” is Zach Rehl, & “Aaron PB” is Philly PB Vice President Aaron Wolkind-Whallon. Both photo’d below with Ben Jacques (a Lehigh Valley far-right goon) in DC on D12, hours before Proud Boy members burnt a historically black church’s banner in the street.
Anyway, this is one reason why we can’t trust law enforcement to defeat the fascist movements operating in our neighborhoods. Instead, that duty falls on each and every one of us. Fighting fascism is an act of love for ones community. #WeKeepUsSafe

CROH would like to introduce you to Bangor, PA resident Amie Eckert. Eckert is the Lehigh Valley Tea Party member who organized bus trips transporting dozens of LV residents to the violent "Million MAGA Rallies" & the fascist coup attempt at the Capitol on Jan. 6th. (1/19)
Amie Eckert rapidly radicalized around the 2020 US Presidential Election. She hosted "pro-Trump flag rallies" in the Lehigh Valley. At one such event in Easton, PA on Oct. 30th, 2020, Eckert was charged by Palmer Township Police for Harassment and Disorderly Conduct. (2/19)
Eckert lawyered up, taking on LVTP Chairman Tom Caroll as her attorney. In 2007, Caroll was forced to resign from his position as Assistant District Attorney for Northampton County after he engaged in a racist prank against a black colleague. (3/19) mcall.com/news/elections…

Meet Gerard Stezelberger — prolific Nazi memorabilia dealer & owner of Lehigh Valley gun shop "Relic Hunter Firing Line". Gerard chartered a bus and transported dozens of Lehigh Valley residents to the #J6 #CapitolRiot. (Content Warning: Nazi imagery) (1/15)
In this thread we'll cover Relic Hunter's origins as a major online Nazi memorabilia dealer, RH's role in Lehigh Valley far-Right organizing, & Stezelberger's bus charter to the J6 Capitol Riot. First, an Internet Archive capture of RelicHunter .com from 2006. (2/15)
A deeper dive into the Internet Archive reveals Relic Hunter was a high-volume online store. Old Nazi memorabilia constantly went out the door, and was quickly replaced by more. This occurred from at least 2003-2016. Below, a capture from RelicHunter .com in 2016. (3/15)

CROH Lehigh Valley would like to introduce you to Steve Lynch -- aspiring GOP politician, personal trainer, field director for Lisa Scheller’s failed campaign in PA's 7th Congressional District, and attendee of the Capitol Riot on Jan 6th, 2021. (1/10)
Lynch provided video proof on Facebook that he attended the Capitol Riot on Jan 6, 2021. (2/10)
Lynch's social media posts leading up to the 6th suggest violent intent. “It is this right here that I have been praying for,” Lynch posted on Jan 1st, 2021 referring to a QAnon meme which declares that Trump will punish his enemies. “They all will die,” the meme reads. (3/10)
