After 3 months of investigation, we can reveal infiltration attempts being made by far right agitator and potential police informant known to us so far as "Skyler Firth"
Skyler attempted to infiltrate groups across radical spaces through a variety of personae and had some success. Skyler managed to become involved with the Revolutionary Communist Party and Socialist Workers Party Student Society
Skylar also gained sensitive information such as prior knowledge of the Palestine Action Teledyne action. Skyler's behaviour was very risky and was the reason they came up on our radar.
With zero sense of security culture and posts that would typically draw police attention such as claims to be a part of the Animal Liberation Front. Due to this most, groups because of this had the sense to avoid this individual and refuse them access to their space
However, gaining access to a couple of groups and information of a planned action puts every group member at risk and previous spycops infiltration shows that actions can get shut down and lead to state crackdowns.
Generally good rules are vet your members and keep your mouth shut about upcoming actions. Its keeps you and your fellows activists safe
When Skyler failed to get involved in a group, they would lie and claim membership or in some cases they would create their own group and try to recruit followers. Such honeypot ventures included the 'North Yorkshire Hunt Saboteurs'
NY hunt saboteurs are not a real group and their instagram page still remains up. Skyler used the logo of West Yorkshire Hunt Saboteurs and quickly was discredited after posting fake actions from fox hunts that didn't exist.
This all didn't go unnoticed though, Skyler boasted on a stream by the far right streamer Marti Blagborough. Skyler claimed to be a part of Leeds Anti-Fascist Network on the stream and due to Marti regularly networking with Lee Scheres it ended up as a post on Antifa Public Watch
After failing to make much progress in radical left spaces, Skyler took a turn to the right. Skyler was spotted recently at a Zionist demo despite repeated attempts to be involved at pro-Palestinian actions.
Skyler also ran a very short lived tankie campaign called the 'Russian Solidarity Campaign'
In April, a far right group quickly gained the attention of antifascists, a new group called Leeds Patriots appeared to have formed and was trying to recruit. Far right stickers from the group appeared in Leeds, Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon with a protest planned in Leeds
Under the pseudonym 'Jaden', Skyler tried to recruit far right activists and was encouraging actions across Yorkshire. The far right was quickly skeptical, the Yorkshire Patriots and those close to Alek Yerbury believed it was a lefty op and encouraged people to stay away.
While investigations were going on into Skyler, we were able to link Skyler's previous honeypots to the current Leeds Patriots group. After apparent pressure from police and local antifascists, Leeds Patriots cancelled the protest and has ceased all current activities
Skyler then appeared to return to try and get involved in Palestinian activism again and showed support towards Irish Republicanism. This was short lived and an attempt to join the Leeds Palestinian encampment led to Skyler being quickly ejected
Skyler has recently resurfaced using content that would be associated with the alt right and nazi acclerationism such as pepe the frog and skull mask content
What particularly amused us was the "action" in which Skyler appeared to hold Communist flyers that he claimed to have stolen. The "Revolutionary United Front" labelled on the leaflets is in fact another front group that Skyler created.
So essentially he actioned himself 🤦♂️
Along with the return to far right activism, Skyler has also returned to his auditing activities. This isn't new, back in 2022, Skyler was taking pictures of police vehicles and claiming to audit them
Now using the profile 'Based Audits', Skyler (holding up phone) has joined up with Marti Blagborough and 'Street Hawk' in auditing, including filming Palestine protests.
Rather curious as it was Marti that was responsible for Skyler getting posted on 'Antifa Public Watch'
These actions led to us to believe that Skyler is a police informant. He has tried to join anarchist, Palestinian solidarity, far right, streamer, animal rights and Communist groups. He often encourages chatter about actions and pushes for people to discuss illegal actions.
He creates front groups and honeypots activists for personal information. Skyler appears to have the funds to travel across Yorkshire and to create stickers and posters for every front group he creates.
This sets a dangerous precedent for those who have organised or still organise with him.

NEW THREAD
We spent a period of 6 months infiltrating the internal comms of Patriotic Alternative split "The Highland Division".
During this time although the chatter was basic and of little interest. However the members were of interest to us and seemed to have a significant amount of non Scottish members
For those unaware, The Highland Division was a neo nazi splinter formed in 2022 from Patriotic Alternative. It was originally called "White Wolves" but later changed the name due to its connection to the London nail bomber
NEW THREAD:
After a recent terror conviction we thought we would give an inside look into the "White Race Camp"
Content warnings: sexual abuse, violence, terrorism and nazi content
This month saw the conviction of Alfie Stevens for sharing terror material. Alfie was involved in the White Race Camp telegram chat and was involved with National Action and later with the British Movement
The White Race Camp was an accelerationist recruitment chat for the Pie N Mash Squad, a small nazi hooligan group known for extreme violence at protests including pushing an antifascist down a set of stairs
Its about time we acknowledged the jailing of National Action co-founder Benjamin Raymond
Despite being a major public face of the group, helping to create successors like NS-131 to avoid proscription and being an admin of the notorious Iron March forum responsible for many nazi accelerationist groups like the Attomwaffen Division he remained free for years.
He has been jailed for 8 years and put on licence for 2 years. But it would wrong to ignore his role in contributing to a wave of radicalised youth committed to "White Jihad" and copying ISIS tactics for terror attacks in the hope of creating a race war
Morning! There is set to be a sizeable conspiracy crank demo in London today (and smaller ones in other UK cities) today, as part of an anti-covid 'Worldwide Rally' (organised by a small group in Kassel, Germany).
The London demo is set to start at 1pm, organised by 'UK Freedom Alliance' with support from other conspiracist groups such as StandUpX and Save Our Rights UK. It has already had its meet point leaked before announcement (Hyde Park Corner) and there are cops swarming the place.
Additionally, there are a bunch of football lad/street fash attempting to form up in Trafalgar Square now to 'confront' BLM and and 'antifa' - but there's nothing planned by any left groups today. Fash have just made shit up lol
Couple of idiots flying a New British Union (NBU) flag at the anti-covid protest in London today. This "party", founded in 2012, describe themselves as a revival of the British Union of Fascists. Of course they consider Oswald Mosley to "be their SpiRitUal LeAdEr"
Their leader is Gary Raikes, ex-BNP official and brief dabbler in Britain First, before he went on to decide that the fascist revolution would be achieved by cosplaying in his bedroom. Playing dress up on the left, a profile shot of him during his BNP days on the right.
Here's a family photo of the Lads™ from a few years back, with Raikes cosplaying Beige Mosley at the front there. Gary gets to wear the hat because he's the leader. The other hat wearer... well. Richard Payne (squirt in the kilt) explains it better.
