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.

They.will.bury.it.

And if it leaks, they will make sure a “far-right” publication reports it, so that it can be dismissed as disinformation.

But I doubt they are interested enough in truth to find any.

"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."

That's been my question as well. It almost seems that BLM and Antifa are viewed as being ON THE SAME SIDE as the FBI, the media, and corporate America, and are therefore not feared or aggressively investigated. But any organization or individual with a whiff of traditional patriotism is demonized and aggressively prosecuted. Law enforcement seems to have a 95% tolerance for leftist violence, and zero tolerance for right-wing violence, of which there is far less.

The proud boys are a total far right paramilitary group because they like to beat up people that riot, set fires to black businesses, lock police in trailers then set the trailers on fire, destroy history, intimidate, and beat 80 year old women, kill people, and generally harass, and threaten peoples homes and neighborhoods

They need to be stopped

No. They just don’t back down when confronted by the Antifags.

“Across the board jury nullification in Fed cases. Even if defendant guilty. We must weaken DOJ by all legal means available.”

Another lesson patriots seem to forget.

I encourage you to open a thread on it.

I viewed a video where a Black Republican Candidate was visited by the FBI. This Candidate only crime was to attend the Trump Rally on Jan 6th.

The FBI speaking in the recording is trying to entrap the family. Remember one little slip up in memory can get you in trouble for lying to the FBI. Look what happen to General Flynn. The FBI is interviewing them for a reason.

Do not talk to the FBI, the FBI is public enemy number one, they can not be trusted. The last five years has proven this.

The guy arrested and released who was standing next to the girl killed, was a leader in the BLM, not Proud Boys.

What’s wrong with being white? You can’t help what color you are.

What’s wrong with being a nationalist?

Oh...it goes against the Great Reset - no borders, no language, no culture. Americans just become slaves to the New World Order run by the likes of Hillary, Soros, XI, the UN etc.

"Not to frighten anyone, but any Freeper would be a fool to not know that there are several government agencies who monitor this site quite closely -- and all members who post here as well."

That would not surprise me, but are you just guessing, or do you know it for sure? If so, how?

You can always tell who the government agent in the group is.

He’s the one who’s been trying to convince you to perform an illegal act, whether storm the Capitol or convert your AR to full auto.

I would take anything ANYONE connected to the FBI with a grain of salt. They habitually sow descension among the ranks to create confusion.

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. That is what COS would have you believe.

It is certainly not the only way out of our dilemma, but it is in my opinion the most dangerous to what little freedom remains. The idea isn’t to rewrite the Constitution or even suggest a runaway. The idea is to eviscerate what remains of the Bill of Rights, and keep all of the crappy ones that followed.

Good stuff at the link.

The Miranda warning is that anything we say can and will be used against us.

Just STFU. The FBI is an arm of the Thought Police. For now, they can't torture us and we don't have say anything to them.

I know for certain the site is monitored. That’s part of why I had to start a new account.

said, "While the FBI is certainly spying on conservative group, these trolls are trying to make us paranoid, suspicious and afraid to do ANYTHING."

I couldn't have said it better. We don't see Chinese freedom lovers not speaking out.

USE your freedom of speech or lose it. Your choice
