White Supremacist Leader in Charlottesville Jason Kessler Was Obama Supporter – Occupy Protester
GP ^ | 08/14/17 | Joshua Caplan

White supremacist and ‘Unite the Right’ leader, Jason Kessler, was once reportedly a supporter a former President Obama and the Occupy movement.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (an organization that is certainly no friend to Conservatives), Kessler revealed his political transformation around November 2016, the same month then candidate Donald Trump won the presidential election.

Southern Poverty Law Center reports:

Rumors abound on white nationalist forums that Kessler’s ideological pedigree before 2016 was less than pure and seem to point to involvement in the Occupy movement and past support for President Obama.

At one recent speech in favor of Charlottesville’s status as a sanctuary city, Kessler live-streamed himself as an attendee questioned him and apologized for an undisclosed spat during Kessler’s apparent involvement with Occupy. Kessler appeared visibly perturbed by the woman’s presence and reminders of their past association.

Kessler himself has placed his “red-pilling” around December of 2013 when a PR executive was publicly excoriated for a tasteless Twitter joke about AIDS in Africa.

Regarding the incident, Kessler stated “… so it was just a little race joke, nothing that big of a deal, she didn’t have that many followers, she probably didn’t think anybody was gonna see it,”

Regardless of Kessler’s past politics, the rightward shift in his views was first put on display in November, 2016 when his tirade against Wes Bellamy began.

On Sunday, a violent leftist mob shut down a press conference by white nationalists Richard Spencer and Jason Kessler outside of Charlottesville City Hall.

The mob reportedly chased Spencer and Kessler back to their waiting vehicles.

I try hard not to give into the conspiracy theory viewpoint of things. It’s easy and seductive. But Occam’s Razor usually prevails, and even when it doesn’t, it’s usually much more appropriate to ascribe to stupidity what conspiracy theorists ascribe to evil.

But this whole Charlottesville thing seemed fishy from the beginning, and it just fell like dominoes against the “alt right” in just about every way possible.

Didn’t Alinsky die in the early ‘70’s?

This is lifted directly out of Saul Alinsky’s book Rules for Radicals - literally.

One of the operations Alinsky brags about in his book was having his community organizers dress up to impersonate KKK members and then demonstrate at GHW Bush rally in the 1970’s as supporters of George Bush.

I mean really, does Unite the Right sound like a conservative slogan?

No way. Unite the Right sounds exactly like a Soros funded, Organizing For America front group.

At the end of the day it will be shown to be inspired by Saul Alinsky, funded by George Soros and organized by Organizing For America or some Acorn type group

Bingo!

Let’s not forget what Project Veritas has shown us along with the Wikileaks.

A familiar tactic to destroy opposition support. Infiltrate and create/demonstrate the negative narrative

Art of War.

Big deal, Sessions won’t do a damn thing, and neither will Trump.

I have never heard him or heard of him. I wanted to hear his remarks at yesterday’s press conference. I couldn’t find them live streaming on the net. What I a talking about is some of the things I am seeing on freerepublic the last two days. “This killer”, “this creep”, “these morons”, and on and on. For a Constitutional Conservative board it is a little surprising. Again, they are willing to go out and fight Antifa in the streets. Something I think needs to be done. And I ain’t too picky who does it. Like I say I would rather it be Trump and Sessions who crush Antifa and BLM but I support anyone who takes them on. I don’t see freepers rushing out to join the fray.

There’s a “Jason Kessler” at CNN. Are they two different people?

Let’s presume he is.

Does that mean that he has conned Spencer? Or does it mean that Spencer is an undercover agent as well?

Richard Spencer is pretty well known. I think “Unite the Right” was a one-time (or maybe ongoing) name that he chose.

But let me see if I get this right. We now think that the folks at alt right were paid shills who are actually lefties who volunteered to get beaten, acid thrown in their face, etc. for money. Is that what I am hearing? And you wonder why I say suddenly 4chan is the rational board?

The Southern Poverty Law Center is no source to be trusted. They are despicable in every way.

I don’t know about Spencer nor do I really care.
