Ben Mockler (AKA Ben Burke) has spent years building a following in the world of international fascism. Now he’s recruiting in Canada’s capital for the world’s largest white power gang and owns a gym on Rideau St. #Ottawa
1/
 antihate.ca/cult_recruiter…
As “Aquilla the Eagle,” Mockler has been an organizer for the Ottawa Active Club since its inception. Our previous investigation found the decentralized Active Club movement is lead in Canada by the Vinland Hammerskins, a violent white power gang.

The Active Club movement is international - it’s a brand - and it’s used to bring together neo-Nazis and train young men for violence. There are several chapters in Canada, including in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and the Maritimes.
3/
Mockler was formerly the Canadian “Grand Master” of the Church of Aryanity, a neo-Nazi cult started by a former member of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. A relatively new organization, CoA membership includes several Canadians.

1/ Make it your new year’s resolution to go and demonstrate for social justice and against far right bullies. Here’s 5 ways to start. 🧵

antihate.ca/5_ways_to_stop…
2/ Create a solidarity group.

Get together with some friends and go to demonstrations. Working as a group keeps you safe, and helps you meet other community-defence minded people. Keep each other in the loop for actions.
3/ Drag and queer event defence.

They're coming for drag events, trans and 2SLGBTQ+ people more than any other community right now. Go show your support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community by forming protective barriers for the patrons and the performers.

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network is proudly antifascist, and that means we have critics. In 2019, Jon and Barbara Kay shared an article which says that we fund violence. This is a lie. One of our board members sued them as an individual because he was named in the article.
The Kays tried their hardest to connect us with violence, and failed. They tried to make it sound sinister that we’re fans of the International Antifascist Defence fund, which covers emergency, medical, and legal bills for antifascists. That was the best they could come up with.
Today we learned that our board member lost their lawsuit against the Kays on a technicality. The judge found that he wasn’t the party they attacked. We were. It was frustrating sitting on the sidelines watching the Kays, in our opinion, mislead the court about antifascism.

Today, Jeremy MacKenzie accused us of purposely engaging in misinformation at #POEC . So let’s set the record straight, again, about the antisemitic flyer incident. A statement /🧵
During the occupation, Bernie Farber got an email from a friend, who’s a lawyer, that said their adult kid had seen antisemitic flyers and signs at the occupation. He tweeted one of the photos from the email from his personal account.
The photo didn’t originate in Ottawa, but in Miami. CAHN noticed the tweet, recognized the photo, and asked Bernie to explain. He forwarded us the email he received. Here’s what it said:

1/ Despite the violent misogyny inherent to fascism, teenage girls are not immune to being groomed and recruited into hate movements. This week, we're giving you a primer on two subcultures we are most worried about young women getting involved in. 🧵

antihate.ca/feminine_fasci…
2/ While the underlying ideology is the same as hate movements that attract teenage boys, the roles that teenage girls and young women embody, and the specific online subcultures they gather in, are often gender-specific.
3/ Aspiring tradwives - some as young as 12 and 13 - base their personalities on extremely rigid gender roles and fantasize about a future life of homemaking, childbearing, and submitting to their someday husbands.

On July 28th we received a “Cease and Desist” from James Topp or a member of his team at @CanadaMarches. We responded a few hours later to address the falsehoods in the letter and to have a conversation with Mr. Topp like the letter asked. 🧵
antihate.ca/letter_to_jame…
We warned Mr. Topp that he was getting bad intel, and told him to do his own research on Diagolon and Jeremy MacKenzie, providing links and clips. The letter said Mr. Topp wanted to talk, but we never heard back, despite multiple follow up emails and DMs.
Yesterday (Aug 8th) Mr. Topp’s letter was posted on a Diagolon Telegram channel and re-posted by Jeremy MacKenzie. Why did they have a draft copy @CanadaMarches? To what extent is Diagolon involved in your team and organizing?
