🧵Following the RCMP raid and seizure in #Coutts, Chris Lysak, once called the "head of security for Diagolon" by de facto leader Jeremy MacKenzie, has been accused of conspiracy to commit murder. 1/

MacKenzie – who is facing possible weapons charges himself after being arrested in mid-January in Nova Scotia – is now claiming the weapons were planted, and that he doesn’t know who the weapons belong to. 2/

Lysak, who posted to various Telegram channels and chats as “Sly Fox,” appeared to be preparing for a show of force in response to perceived pending removal of the Coutts blockade. Other users in Diagolon channels referenced that Lysak was at the blockade. 3/

"Sly Fox" and many co-accused signed a flag hanging on the wall of Smuggler’s Saloon at Coutts, as did several other blockade attendees, incl Artur Palowski & Rebel News content creator Kian “K2” Simone.

The flag was posted to Facebook by Lysak’s co-accused, Chris Carbert. 4/

When police released images of the seized firearms, we were interested in the patches. One of the tac vests on display shows the black & white flag of Diagolon, the symbol of a network of far-right accelerationist survivalists. 5/

Special credit to the keen Reddit user who placed so many signatures on the flag, as well as identified where it was located. 6/

And we are a tiny team working triple overtime. We need to hire another investigator/reporter. You want eyes on this stuff? Help us out at antihate.ca/donate. If we had the resources to be more on the ball before the convoy arrived, things might not have gone so bad.
