In an unshocking admission, Neo-Nazi Paul Fromm attended the Diagolon RageTour event in Hamilton(Jarvis), Ontario.

Background on Fromm from @ARCCollective :

I've repeatedly made the case that Diagolon is a Neo-Nazi movement. Associating with Fromm is just another example of that.







But let's see some of the things the Diagolon streamers have said lately.

New from me: Is it time to start referring to Diagolon as a Neo-Nazi movement?


Here me out on this one. It's a valid question. I'll give an overview on Twitter but there is more detail and examples in the blog post.

1/17canadaantifa.blogspot.com/2023/12/is-it-… I've been working on this blog post for a while. This clip is from Dan Sleno's Halloween live stream.
He recommends a 1940s Nazi propaganda film.

I was working on a thread that would likely have been 60+ tweets long so instead I reached out to @ARCCollective to write for the blog again.



I will tweet some of the highlights though.
Strap yourselves in for some infighting. 🍿🍿

1/19anti-racistcanada.blogspot.com/2023/08/far-ri… Some of this is related to Ezra Levant's claim that Jeremy Mackenzie is a "fed", which has already been covered.



An update to that story is that Jeremy is suing Ezra.

Bryan Trottier actually refers to himself as a bully-slayer. This from a guy that harassed someone to suicide.

He claims that he was a part of the left until "identity politics". 🙄

1/5 Bryan claims that he never saw any white supremacy.
I guess he never looked in the mirror.

With Jeremy Mackenzie in jail I've had a nice break from listening to his voice but a while back Derek Harrison re-uploaded his first two livestreams and I had to give them a watch as I hadn't seen them.

CW: racism, antisemitism(a lot of it)

1/15 I know for a lot of people "Jeremy Mackenzie is antisemitic" is not a fresh observation and I'm beating a dead horse. But I feel it's important to showcase some of his early material since it was before he learned how to use euphemisms, and it's how he built his audience.

"I talk with (Caryma) a bit on the side"
'Tammy (Roberts) gave Jeremy and me her number'

Wow, I wonder what those conversations are like.
Weird that I get accused of "gatekeeping anti-fascism" by people in contact with fascists.

1/14 Caryma Sa'd has previously collaborated with fascists. Most famously she worked to hold a discussion with Holocaust denier Chris Saccoccia.

The event was disrupted by protesters who were attacked by Saccoccia and his supporters.

David Freiheit AKA Viva Frei interviewed Jeremy Mackenzie this week and I can't tell whether he completely agrees with Jeremy or just didn't do his homework.

Here they talk about how Jeremy/Diagolon haven't used violence.

1/17 Of course the guys in Coutts were allegedly prevented from becoming violent.

Also Jeremy is facing charges for allegedly waving a handgun around.

Andrew MacGillivray of Veterans 4 Freedom says that their goal is to install unelected "bureaucrats in all levels of government".

Their role would be "fixing Canada and uniting our country", whatever that means.

1/9 That clip was from the end of his video, but let's look at some other things he said.

He describes the "culture and information war" that we're apparently in.

Note his use of the term: "globalist"

Andy Lee is handing out journalism advice and promoting her interview with James Topp, which is great because I really want him to address his ties to Jeremy Mackenzie and Stephanie McEvoy.
So let's hear what he had to say about it....

1/4 ... oh right, nothing. Because she never once mentioned their names. She vaguely references "unsavoury characters" which is a hell of a way to describe violence promoting white nationalists.

And it wasn't even in the form of a question.

Great "journalism".

Here's some interesting information.
A key organizer for the James Topp event in Ottawa who applied for the permits is close with Diagolon.
That's another tie that Topp has to the Diagolon network.


1/13 More about the permit.
Having ties to Diagolon is bad enough.

Apparently Veterans 4 Freedom member Jeremy Mackenzie is getting a January 6th vibe regarding Canada Day this year, based on things he's seeing talked about in his online circles.

1/ 21 ... and Jeremy clearly has no plans to expose the comments he's seeing.
I guess he is hoping for more CSIS attention.
Apparently he didn't learn from Derek Harrison's Jan 6th comment. 😉

I really didn't want to discuss Josh Bigger: AKA Mr Freedom because he's just looking for attention but when he's aware of who Jeremy Mackenzie is and goes on an antisemitic live stream with him and Derek Harrison anyway it kind of forces my hand.

In the wake of the shooting in Buffalo where the alleged shooter was apparently a proponent of the great replacement conspiracy theory, Jeremy Mackenzie wants to assure his viewers that it's a real thing that's happening.

Hint: it isn't.

1/12 What's also concerning is that last week before the shooting he told his audience to purchase illegal firea.... oh wait, sorry, he said don't buy illegal firearms.

After following following the far-right for a few years, you get used to the fact that they will excuse the worst behaviour.
That was taken to a new level this week by Nicole Comber and Roy Asselstine this week after they organized a demonstration against Jagmeet Singh.

1/11 After that weak non-apology they encourage people to continue to speak up.
They complain about being targeted after the negative publicity, neglecting to mention that THEY organized the event.

Hilarity on Parliament Hill. Rebecca Sheppard of Stand4Thee tried to deliver a lawsuit to an arresting officer, by placing it on the roof of a patrol car. And the officer in the car rips it in half right in front of her.

More on Stand4Thee: tinyurl.com/nhcknx3t

1/5 The lawsuit had something to do with her arrest for having a "Fuck Trudeau" sign on Parliament Hill, which is now against the rules apparently.

Sheppard considers Jane Scharf to be knowledgeable of the law, which is never good.

Last night Jeremy Mackenzie put out a video in an attempt to distance himself from the charges laid against convoy supporters in Coutts, Alberta.

Let's look into his claims, shall we.

More on Mackenzie here.

1/10 First he objects to Diagolon being labelled a militia and suggests that the media look up the definition.

Jeremy has referred to Diagalon as a militia.

Bryan Trottier has been floating around the far-right for some time and he's best known for 2 things:
a) former leader of the English-Canada chapter of white nationalist group, La Meute
b) targeted harassment against leftists

In the past few months Jeremy Mackenzie (tinyurl.com/ycx6ejaw) has been promoting a half-baked concept for a breakaway nation called “Diagalon”. It could best be described as a low-rent Kekistan, but let's take a closer look.

1/13 ImageImageImageImage According to Mackenzie the states/provinces that are not mandating masks/vaccines make a diagonal line across North America, hence the name Diagalon.
