“A Twitter account claiming to belong to a national ‘antifa’ organization j pushing violent rhetoric related to ongoing protests has been linked to the white nationalist group Identity Evropa, according to a Twitter spokesperson.” 6/1/20 by Ben Collins 1/ nbcnews.com/tech/security/…
4/ I have not separately confirmed Casey’s alleged friendship w/ Stephen Miller. But here’s a photo of Casey’s White House visit in 2019.
5/ The Proud Boys have rallied next to Identity Evropa. This is June 2017.
6/ Reminds me of this: “Boogaloo Boi’ charged in fire of Minneapolis police precinct during George Floyd protest” - 10/23/20 theguardian.com/world/2020/oct…
8/ Also from the Summer of 2020. A single Bible (maybe 2) thrown into a fire as kindling became Portland lefties burn “stacks of Bibles.” archive.ph/2020.08.13-202…
10/ “Man who helped ignite George Floyd riots identified as white supremacist: Police
The suspect wore a mask and carried an umbrella, police said.”
7/29/20 abcnews.go.com/US/man-helped-…
12/ I’m looking into disinformation re BLM and the George Floyd protests and who spread the disinformation bc of this. lawfareblog.com/long-descent-i… Image
13/ Patrick Casey seems potentially important.
19/ Cassandra Fairbanks = a Roger Stone protege.
21/ Roger Stone protege Jack Posobiec pushed hoax about pipe bombs having been planted at the Korean War Memorial during the George Floyd protests. June 2020 #chaosagent #disinformation archive.ph/2021.12.03-042…
22/ “The pipe bomb story was the brainchild of Jack Posobiec, a right-wing personality who’s regularly retweeted by Donald Trump and who works for fledgling Trump cable network One America News. And it came like a five-alarm fire.”
23/ “As of Wednesday afternoon, Posobiec’s tweet had garnered more than 29,000 retweets and 60,000 favorites. *** By Wednesday, Posobiec’s supposed pipe bombs were being cited as fact on a conservative Boston talk radio station. But the pipe bombs were totally made up.” Image
24/ “U.S. Park Police spokesman Sgt. Eduardo Delgado told The Daily Beast in an email that the Park Police never discovered any pipe bombs near the memorial. Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department also had no reports of pipe bombs at the memorial, a spokesperson said Tues.”
25/ “Instead, it appears Posobiec either concocted the claim entirely or, at best, relied on information from deeply flawed sources. Worse, his tweet appears to have wasted law enforcement resources at a crucial time, as … officers scrambled to find the nonexistent pipe bombs.”
26/ “Posobiec and OAN president Charles Herring didn’t respond to a request for comment. The episode shows how fast hoaxes continue to spread online and how real world crises remain the perfect breeding ground for disinformation.“
27/ I haven’t read this yet. The linked report seemed kind of impenetrable at first glance. news.yahoo.com/homeland-secur…
28/ “Ron Wyden … is calling for the FBI to explain how it came to recruit a violent felon as an informant who allegedly infiltrated BLM protests & “encouraged protesters to engage in increasingly violent demonstrations…” 2/14/23 WTF??? theguardian.com/us-news/2023/f…
29/ “The FBI’s infiltration of Black Lives Matter in Denver ‘appears to show another instance of the Trump administration trampling on the rights of Americans in order to divide our country and gain a political advantage’, Wyden said.”
30/ “The FBI owes the public a full accounting of its actions, including how anyone responsible for attempting to entrap and discredit racial justice activists will be held accountable.”
31/ “The actions of the FBI informant, Michael Windecker, or Mickey, as he was known, are revealed in a new 10-episode podcast by the investigative journalist Trevor Aaronson.”
WTAF?!!! “The FBI informant who infiltrated the George Floyd protests (during the Trump regime) “told one BLM leader: ‘I can teach you how to shoot a gun, to hand-to-hand combat, all the way up to like blowing up fucking buildings & guerrilla warfare tactics and sabotage.’” 32/
Joe Biggs, a close friend of Roger Stone, did his best to exacerbate societal divisions in 2020 as well. 34/
They forgot to bring a giant mirror. 35/ Image
36/ May 31, 2020. It’s as if Trump and Joe Biggs were communicating with each other via social media. 👀 Image
44/ “Most charges against George Floyd protesters dropped, analysis shows,” suggesting the charges were bogus. “Some prosecutors and law enforcement observers say departments carried out mass arrests as crowd control tactic” theguardian.com/us-news/2021/a…
45/ h/t post 44 @RealNoraC
46/ More re the “Umbrella Man.”abcnews.go.com/US/man-helped-… Image
48/ I don’t know this guy’s political leanings, if any, but he’s obviously a white dude. archive.ph/2023.02.27-190…
49/ Seems he’s a Trump supporter who used the N-word hatefully on social media, but his brother & sister claimed he was upset by George Floyd’s murder. In any event, he was neither BLM nor Antifa bc of course he wasn’t. chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/2020/6… Image
50/ Wow. Trump and William Barr blamed “Antifa” for violence that erupted during a George Floyd protest in May 2020, but the FBI had no intel supporting that assertion. #disinformation #propaganda #psyops thenation.com/article/activi…
51/ Trump & Barr were and are an absolute disgrace. Image
52/ Another arsonist from the George Floyd protests in May 2020: white dude Wesley Somers.
55/ “Militias flocked to Gettysburg to foil a supposed antifa flag burning, an apparent hoax created on social media,” 7/4/20 (Very interesting read.) washingtonpost.com/investigations…
56/ Same guy from post 6. Image
57/ Roger Stone protege Jack Posobiec promoted the fake claim that “Antifa” planned to attack Gettysburg in the Summer of 2020. Naturally. mediamanipulation.org/case-studies/b… Image

Paul Manafort recently spent some time at the Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about…
h/t @clayberg 1/ Image

Here are some of the replies I received to my recent posts about William Wolfe, Doug Wilson, and Nate Fischer. Telling. 1/
Image
Image
2/
Image
Image
3/ These replies are unsurprising given that Nate Fischer (via New Founding) partners with Raw Egg Nationalist (via Kindred Harvest), an account with an apparent affinity for neo-Nazi images and dog whistles, as shown in the thread below. Nate Fischer (via American Reformer), in turn, supports William Wolfe’s new organization.

Trump/Heritage alum William Wolfe & OK Senator Dusty Deevers want Jared Moore to replace the Southern Baptist Convention’s current president. Moore says that a woman going to a doctor for an abortion is equivalent to a person hiring a hitman to commit murder & should be prosecuted accordingly. 1/
2/ Jared Moore also calls it “heresy” to support abortion rights and LGBTQ+ rights. Image
3/ As I said, Dusty Deevers has nominated Jared Moore. Image
