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.

Pay attention this time!
You have no fellow patriots in that militia.
Collaborate ONLY, ONLY with life-long friends of 20+ years and family. And be leery of both.
Never publish anything. Never lead a sit in. And never speak with anyone not on the inside of your known circle. And never use electronic communication of any form for team matters. Not even meetings.
Never.
Or you will go to prison.
This. I'm aware of at least one Freeper who was recently contacted by the FBI in relation to the Jan 6 events.
Are the Proud Boys actually a “paramilitary” group?
Fuentes must be a hispanic white nationalist.
“...two most prominent figures in the racist “America First” movement.”
The fbi is a criminal organization and should be shut down.
The FBI use to go after communists.......now......it is run by communists.
Yikes!
Our right to peacefully assemble is being destroyed by violent imposters - who were probably hired by the rats.
“Don’t talk in public. Say nothing.” Advice given to my mother (from her Father) in 1934, Bachnang Germany.
Fuentes like a lot of the supposed alt-ish right micro-celebrities have always seemed like FBI/intel informant assets anyway.
I don’t think they’ve alleged a crime. But, I think the implication is that he was paid by the Feds.
No new friends. It’s a hard rule to live by, especially if you need to network with like minded patriots. But it just might keep you out of prison.
Will Sommer lies.
“Is it now a crime to stand outside the US Capitol building? And does the FBI have probable cause of a crime to investigate the bitcoin”
Excerpt made it seem like the Feds gave him the money.
This is a crap article from a crap propaganda outlet only and idiot would take seriously or post.
Is the near right still OK?
I guess I’m an extremist for wanting my vote to count.
