Took a while, but I found the Odnoklassniki profile of the Allen. TX shooter described in this NYT article:
ok.ru/profile/574887… Image
His YouTube account: youtube.com/@dustyshacklef…
The most recent post on his OK profile is basically his manifesto/suicide note. He closes it with a quote from South Park.
Flashback to @IwriteOK's 2019 Bellingcat article on how mass shootings have been "gamified", with the Allen shooter talking about a "decent kill score" in Nashville.
bellingcat.com/news/americas/… Image
Post from April 21st Image
He was trying to be the Zodiac Killer I guess Image
His personal politics were very hard to figure out Image
The Allen shooter was apparently a @Timcast fan Image
@Timcast Worth noting that the Allen shooter didn't have any friends or groups on his OK profile -- he used it like a personal diary. He may have chosen OK because it has virtually zero content moderation. Image
Christ, just noticed this -- he was at the mall where he did the attack 3 weeks prior. He was monitoring the peak visiting times on Google. ImageImageImageImage
Receipt for the Kit that the Allen, TX shooter bought back in 2020, posted a few weeks before the shooting. He also posted photos of his weapons. ImageImageImage
Boxes upon boxes of ammunition that he apparently received a few weeks before the shooting. These photos were posted at the same time as pictures he took at the Allen Mall. ImageImageImage
I guess we'll never know if this guy was a liberal or fascist or anything else, oh well ImageImageImageImage
Calling someone a violent incel has lost a lot of meaning in the last few years with the term being so overused. But yeah it fits here. Image
This video was pre-uploaded and scheduled to post yesterday. He shared a link to his YT on March 6.

Image
Worth noting that he uploaded this video before the shooting, and scheduled for it to be published onto his YouTube channel after the shooting. In a March post, he linked to the same YouTube channel, so it's definitely his.
Also, it's the same apartment that he posted back in December 2022 on his OK page. Image
(I haven't checked if this is actually him in the picture, I assume he just posted it because he's a big swastika/SS fan, as he has them all over the rest of his profile)
I wonder if the Allen, TX was a white supremacist? If only there was a post that he made himself where we could find out, in context of him being Latino himself. Image
His ideology will forever be a mystery ImageImageImageImage
Allen, TX shooter*
Probably done posting in this thread, but in summary:
The Allen shooter was obviously a white supremacist / neo-Nazi. He was basically announcing that he was going to do a mass shooting for months beforehand, and planned his target weeks in advance.
He also posted his handwritten personal diary. Everything I've seen shows that this is about the most textbook mass shooter you'll ever find, and he tells you about it every step of the way. He'll be a reference point for decades on mass shooters because he shared so much.
(Also, forgot to post this earlier: I found his OK profile by searching for active profiles with the filters of his birthday, those living in the US, and male. About 50 results, and the Hitler smiley face avatar made it an easy pick for my first choice of checking if it was him)
One last thing, noticed by @JakeGodin: the Allen shooter was a big fan of @libsoftiktok and signed off on one of his posts with "Heil Hitler" ImageImage
Pretty sure they are actually his tattoos. Here are the Texas, 10/6, and Punisher tattoos that he posted previously. All three are visible in the Nazi tattoo photos.
(The neck tattoo mugshot guy is a different person with the same name) ImageImageImageImage

A new DoJ indictment alleges that RT employees "covertly fund[ed] and direct[ed]" a US company with $10m in order to push pro-Russia content. The company is based in Tennessee.

There is one media company based in Tennessee with the same phrase listed in the indictment...

A bit of a wild story yesterday out of Belgorod.

The RDK claimed to have killed a pretty senior Russian officer during their operation in Belgorod (Novaya Tavolzhanka), and shared his ID card. His name is Andrei Stesyev.

t.me/russvolcorps/5… Image
Soon after, the Svoboda Rossii Legion (Freedom to Russia) shared additional pages of his ID documents, along with a couple of drone shots showing a body lying in the grass, claiming it was Stesyev.

(Join together the t dot me for the link)

Turns out, they probably really did kill him. The RDK fighters got into a firefight with Stesyev (and presumably others) in Novaya Tavolzhanka. I geolocated the footage showing the body to the southern part of the town, 1.5km from the border.

Geolocation below. ImageImageImageImage

The tweets are pretty specific, saying that the explosion happened at 2:35am. However, nothing from local channels yet.

This was two hours ago, so the fact that it's news isolated to just some RU milbloggers makes it a bit tough to believe

Was trying to figure out why the Polish Volunteer Corps pixelated out part of this BTR in a video recently published. Then I realized: oooh yeah of course.

(See next tweet for pixelation reveal)
Image
Context: Skachkov is an RDK member who went on the May Belgorod incursion. The video the PDK posted apparently shows the same BTR as the one Skachkov posed in front of.

🚨 Geraldo Rivera's boot has been found in the Baltic Sea 🚨
But really, the Grayzone doing an underwater expedition in the Baltic Sea and touting the discovery of an old boot as breathtaking truthtelling journalism feels like a fever dream.

An apparent RDK fighter (or proxy/friend?) is selling two 'souvenirs' he got in Belgorod oblast this week. He's also selling some other choice items.
Auctions go back quite a few years, and include a Russian "trophy" knife he claims to have taken in Peski (Donetsk oblast) in 2015 ImageImageImageImage
The same KKK patch being sold by this user was worn by Aleksandr Skachkov in Belgorod, an RDK fighter. He was previously arrested by the SBU for selling translated copies of the Christchurch shooter's manifesto.
This is Aleksandr Skachkov in at the Grayvoron checkpoint in Belgorod, for example. Pretty distinct tattoo on his right arm, not sure why he's Panda-izing his face when it's so obvious. ImageImage
