FBI Informant Panic Is Ruining Friendships All Over the Far Right
The Daily Beast via Yahoo ^ | February 14th, 2021 | Will Sommer, Kelly Weill

Posted on 02/14/2021 3:02:23 PM PST by Mariner

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.

I call it the one-winged bird—it has a far right wing but no left wing at all....

Good.

But the advice makes you almost invisible.

What’s the FBI gonna do when they find out the $250k bitcoin payment came from George Soros (through a fake front man)? Oh, I forgot. They already know.

I would think the Lincoln Project has more ‘extremist’ than any pro America group.

You are an extremist for not believing what big tech and big media tell you to believe—even if it changes every day—or even every hour.

"America First"

I have no specific knowledge about that particular organization, but it seems we have entered an upside-down world in which those who express traditionally patriotic views are considered dangerous extremists even by our own intelligence agencies, while those who belittle our country, its Founders, its Constitution, and its history, and who want to subsume our national sovereignty under a system of corporate globalism, are considered to be "patriots."

Thus the establishment tolerates and even rewards hundreds of BLM riots while wailing and gnashing its teeth over one right-wing riot. The left is re-defining Americanism as allegiance to a new America which is a mere cog within a globalist, totalitarian order, and marginalizing those who hold traditional views of America and of patriotism.

FBI = Bureau of Traiters. I was never for defunding the police, but these guys, and ATF, defund them all to the dirt. Shameful they were ever created.

If Fuentes was paid by the Feds, why would the FBI be investigating him? They would presumably know all about it.

I know two people who have been contacted by the FBI very recently..Glad one of them told the FBI to go pound sand and threw them out of their business, the other told them he had nothing to say to them...

And there it is. Labelling Trump's "America First" slogan as a racist, white nationalist slogan.

...or who delivered bricks on the street.

...or who paid for airline tickets for people out of work.

...or who housed them.

...or who paid them.

...or who networked them.

...or who bailed them out when they were arrested for rioting.

Of course none of that was racist, even if the knock out
game and other activity resulted in the deaths or crippling
of whites, not to mention people of other races.

You have no fellow patriots in that militia.

Or the Q groups.

“The fbi is a criminal organization and should be shut down.”

I agree. I wouldn’t have said that five years ago.

These groups are not as violent as BLM and ANTIFA. My question is Why didn’t the fbi go after them, their transports, their organizers, their leadership in THIS manner.
