Oh, that reminds me - I’ve got a crazy anecdote about the impact of Charlottesville / Unite the Right while we wait for the Sines vs. Kessler verdict.

This one deals with “reformed” Neo-Nazis (and I don’t mean Heimbach and Schoep).

Incoming!
This story deals with the Neo-Nazi who allegedly assassinated George Lincoln Rockwell: John Patler.

Rockwell coined the slogan “white power,” founded the American Nazi Party, and was allegedly shot to death by his fellow Neo-Nazi in 67.

(Schoep’s NSM is today’s ANP)
John Patler was a member of Rockwell’s American Nazi Party and his printer - Patler tried to assassinate Rockwell before 1967.

He was also Rockwell’s printer, a Marine who wore his uniform to ANP rallies — and one of William Pierce’s enemies.

ANP expelled him in 1967.
Patler was convicted of murdering Rockwell in 1968, but the case against him was highly problematic (for many reasons).

He was paroled in 5 years.

Many in the American Nazi Party believed he was innocent and said Matt Koel & William Pierce were staging a coup.
Here’s where it gets wild and Charlottesville comes in.

In 2017, Patler was in his 80s and did illustrations for High Times magazine (yes, that one).

His son was a professor of…African American studies.
According to Patler’s son, he regretted his Nazi past.

Until Charlottesville and Unite The Right.

The events you heard about in Sines vs. Kessler sucked this OG American Nazi Party member back in as an 80 something year old — “poisoned again,” to quote his son.

While we wait for the Sines vs. Kessler jury to return a verdict over Charlottesville, warning: don’t get complacent if it’s guilty.

Remember, Metzger lost his 1990 case — he wasn’t stopped; he just got more careful & deeper underground.

[Nazi Telegram noted the same thing.]
I feel bad for the jury, but I hope that verdict doesn’t come today.

In conjunction with the Rittenhouse verdict, regardless of which way Sines vs. Kessler goes —

— that’s potentially very bad timing.
In fact, Metzger saw his 1990 court loss as a victory (and not just as a spinned one, either).

THAT is when he went full force pushing the “lone wolf” approach — and became far more cautious about white supremacist organizational and security strategy.

If you heard my @TheLoopcast⁩ interview, *this* is what I couldn’t talk about - but thank God, it’s now public.

The story of the DOJ counterterrorism official, Philly cop — and Neo Nazi band (no joke: “Arresting Officer’) member. progressive.org/magazine/lone-…
Arresting Officers was a VERY well known Neo Nazi band — with ties to Tom Metzger.

Yes, the same mind behind ‘Operation Appleseed’ - a multi-decade white supremacist strategic plan to infiltrate the police and military.

@frankiemeeink is dead on. Image
Brian Haughton’s VERY well known Nazi band was called — again — Arresting Officers.

He then became a Philadelphia police officer, and now?

He’s a counterterrorism expert for DOJ, with access to all kinds of information sharing databases.

This. Should. Scare. You.

… is… Richard Spencer using the “Jews killed Jesus” insinuation here as HIS DEFENSE
(Not to mention to the whole “basically I’m Jesus” point Spencer is trying to make, which is… interesting)
Abridged version, Richard Spencer’s closing defense in Sines vs. Kessler:

“I passed Classics 101 with a B-, see! I’m civilized, this is so unfair, and also I’m Jesus”

Spencer rests

Just how dumb is Jason Kessler? Image
Just how stupid is Nazi Telegram?

Judging from this average Sines vs. Kessler commentary on… *checks notes* Chris Cantwell —

I rest my case Image

ooooooh are they good?

I have an extensive mute list.
fun fact:

Couple days back, I had a nightmare in which I was offered my dream job…

… in a state where Baby Satan isn’t legal to own.
I’m not joking about states that have the AUDACITY to call my precious “lil” (technically, at under 6 months old — he still counts as little…maybe) boï “ILLEGAL.”

can u believe

I think — and I cannot stress this enough — the fuck not
Jeff Schoep’s girlfriend Acacia tried to friend me a while back; IIRC, it was around the same time she was outed for running a Nazi website as a ‘former.’

Jeff, to remind you, is currently a defendant in Sines vs. Kessler —

— the Charlottesville civil suit.
Jeff’s codefendants include — among others — Chris “Crying Nazi” Cantwell, Richard Spencer, and Matthew “I Cucked My Own Father-In-Law” Heimbach.

I’m linking a fun thread on Heimbach here:
