FBI Informant Panic Is Ruining Friendships All Over the Far Right

As federal authorities crack down on the far right after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, the movement’s leaders have found new sources of suspicion: each other.

In the Trumpist “America First” movement and the far-right paramilitary group the Proud Boys, alliances are fracturing as extremists brand each other as potential informants. Now racist live-streamers are accusing their former comrades of attempting to turn over followers to law enforcement, while Proud Boys chapters are splintering from the national organization over similar fears.

Proud Boys Dealt Another Blow as Feds Crack Down

Until the FBI started closing in, white nationalists Nick Fuentes and Patrick Casey were the two most prominent figures in the racist “America First” movement.

The pair built up shared audiences on live-streaming platforms, and cheered as their fans, nicknamed “groypers” after an obese version of the cartoon Pepe the Frog, heckled more moderate Trump allies at conservative events.

But the federal heat is on after Fuentes received roughly $250,000 in a much-scrutinized bitcoin transfer, then appeared outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot. The FBI is reportedly investigating the bitcoin transfer, though Fuentes has not faced charges over the money or the riot.

Did the FBI ever find out who paid for prepositioned pallets of bricks and weapons for Antifa and BLM to use to burn down,loot, and destroy our cities?

No?

Didn't think so...

“Talk to me about how there is absolutely nothing that can go wrong if Congress was to call for a COS, should enough States agree to the right resolutions. “

This isn’t about getting out of bed in the morning. It’s about the ridiculous notion promoted by the COS organization that nothing can go wrong with anything related to a COS.

Sorry, I’m not buying in to the litany of COS Action talking points or demands for this that or the other from COS proponents. I know what they preach from the pulpits they have managed to inhabit. Many of those in State Capitols nationwide, others in organizations that cater to State Legislators such as ALEC.

To a great extent, they have failed to pull off the deception where it really matters. Despite the liberal application of dollars for Legislators buying in to the message. In my opinion, while Government is in the obvious state of chaos it is, COS will not prevail, and that is a positive in a field of negatives.

Just my opinion on the subject.

it’s not 1776, when the government knew nothing about you. everyone had relative obscurity then.

That’s why your analogy is absurd.

Ok sport. If you think you are better served by running your mouth, go ahead. Some people like to talk. You must be one.
