New: Chaya Raichik (@libsoftiktok) posted content from a junk site connected to an Idaho white supremacist in advance of Coeur d'Alene #Pride.

It's the latest example of @Twitter influencers buoying extremism.

My analysis for @Hatewatch:
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
Raichik shared content about Coeur d'Alene from "Idaho Tribune." Antiracists noted to @Hatewatch the junk bog shares website infrastructure with Dave Reilly's site. (It does.)

Riley organized with Identity Evropa. He marched at Unite the Right. He's a white supremacist.
As I mentioned the other day, there appears to be a correlation between low rent influencers like Libs of Tik Tok stoking rage on this site and extremists turning up at #Pride2022 events.

Extremists have to pick their targets based on something:
Twitter's pride and joy, the extremist Jack Posobiec, pushed the "groomer" meme in advance of Pride month repeatedly. He started in April, conflating LGBTQ culture with pedophilia, and setting the tone for some of the threats we are experiencing now.

In addition to Libs of TikTok, another influencer, Paul Joseph Watson, stoked rage about Coeur d'Alene Pride before Patriot Front showed up.

You may remember him from this leaked audio, where he talked about his wish to eliminate Jews:
Immediately after the Patriot Front incident, @TPUSA-linked influencer Drew Hernandez trained his camera on children and accused random innocent people of child abuse.

@TwitterSupport had no problem with this based on multiple reports I've seen:
Last thing: our team could work quickly only because of a tip from local activists. Local activists also physically stood up to hate goons in Idaho, showing no fear.

These are objectively brave people who don't take any shit and don't ask for credit. Have to shout that out.

There's a correlation between apparent neo-Nazis in skull masks seeking to intimidate people at Pride and low life social media grifters pushing "groomer" propaganda constantly on social media from April to today.

Very fucked up dynamic playing out.
That's why it's important to point out toxic influencers that work with hate groups. The extremist Jack Posobiec of Hanover, Maryland is one.

He has pushed the groomer meme repeatedly:
Andy Ngo, a loser who paid out of pocket to cry to an empty room of Polish sympathizers about antifa, pushes anti-trans crap constantly to fascists.

Ngo is too frightened to live in the U.S. anymore but he keeps agitating about our issues for hand outs:

.@splcenter has officially added an extremist file for hard right political operative Jack Posobiec of Hanover, Maryland.

While collaborating with a global network of neofascists, Posobiec has made his name infamous by spreading hatred and lies: splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
A lot of people contributed to the intelligence provided here, workers at the center and reporters and analysts outside of it. This is a one pager for when he pops up in the news, as he always does.

I'll roll out a few of the clips we added.
Here is @TPUSA's Jack Posobiec in his own words selling his followers on the Proud Boys and talking about how he works "very closely" with the Oath Keepers.

New: Alex Jones’ #Bitcoin megadonor has now given him nearly $8 million in only 26 days.

This coincides with the Sandy Hook lawsuit moving forward to determine what he owes.

@MeganSquire0 & me again:
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
We are still working on the ID of the person on the other end of these transactions but they are obviously rich and answer the bell whenever Jones asks for help:
Please read our earlier reporting on Jones’s megadonor here. There are important details about the first transactions from this person:

New: YouTuber Paul Joseph Watson helped popularize the phrase “New Right.”

In recent audio verified by @BylineTimes, Watson unloads racial epithets and talks about wiping “Jews off the face of the earth” — showing what’s underneath that branding: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
When I heard the audio (it’s bad) — I recalled how @PrisonPlanet tried to brand @cernovich and @jackposobiec and himself as separate from the marchers at Unite the Right.

It’s laughably craven and totally fake:
documentcloud.org/documents/2189…
Let's run down some obvious but important stuff: We don't need this audio to know Watson is a bigot. We know. Ask any trans or Muslim person. They know Watson.

Those are bigotries that @YouTube and @Twitter let extremists get away with all the time.

The man who named a random clerk as the SCOTUS leaker is an operative named Will Chamberlain.

He's regarded as a foolish personality in the DC scene and frequently tags along with Jack Posobiec, acting as his sidekick.
You can see a clear photo of Will Chamberlain's face here. He's the guy in the lower right hand corner in blue, cocking his head. He's pictured with Posobiec and the accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate:
Chamberlain recently embarrassed himself during the "Derek Chauvin will be found innocent!" campaign, positioning himself as a serious legal expert.

He's not as slick as his peers, which is why he's content to be a human support pillow for Jack Posobiec.

An anonymous crypto-whale just sent over $1 million worth of #bitcoin to embattled Stop the Steal extremist Alex Jones.

Jones withdrew the money and quickly wiped the wallet from his website.

@MeganSquire0 and myself with the scoop: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
You may think of Jones as a man supported in an organic way by his passionate fans.

Well, the overwhelming majority of his money is coming from two whales. Two very very rich men that we are still working to identify:

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
Jones expressed a mixture of ambivalence and contempt for crypto until he started working with Max Keiser of Russia Today.

His interest skyrocketed after that. He called Keiser "hooked up with Putin and the Easter Bunny": splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
