So Andy Ngo is trending and it is because there is a Canadian connection.

Well, two connections.

First, he has written this for the "Post Millennial". 1/16

Second, it is because the story involves Artur Pawlowski. 2/16

People have been noting that despite Ngo's claim that this was merely a family friendly Christian gathering, the truth is that Andy, once again, Is being just a wee disingenuous. 3/16

Except, you no... for the evidence that contradicts Andy's assertions. 4/16

For those Americans who are unfamiliar with Artur Pawlowski, I would direct you particularly to this article in which I write about his American tour. 5/16

His tours has been organized by FEC and Joe Oltmann who also founded the associated militia the United American Defence Force. 6/16

Also involved in the organizing of the tour was Cindy Chafian who also organized one of the events at the Capitol on January 6. 7/16

The following thread I put up in addition to the article includes images and videos of Pawlowski with a host of rather infamous folks including QAnon proponents, anti-vaxers, anti-immigrant white nationalists, and others. 8/16

If the Proud Boys were providing security for the Pawlowski event, it would not have been the first time Pawlowski has associated himself with far-right extremists. 9/16

Pawlowski was one of the main speakers at an anti-immigrant event organized by the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam. Members of the III% militia and other extremists provided what they characterized as "security." 11/16

He also hosted his own event in which members of the Northern Guard and Soldiers of Odin acted as security. 13/16

Here is a little more on the Northern Guard and Soldiers of Odin members present as "security" at this event. 14/16

I could go on, but suffice it to say it isn't out of the question that members of the Proud Boys might be closely associated with the Pawlowski event in Portland, Oregon. 15/16

And as a bit of a reminder, it probably isn't a great idea to take what Andy Ngo says at face value. 16/16

Full disclosure, Andy doesn't like me (though to be fair he has probably long forgotten about me as well).

Looks like Ryan Dean, also a supporter of Pawlowski, decided to offer his $0.02 on the events in Portland.

Dean has a criminal record for domestic abuse having been convicted of assaulting one of his partners.
