Trump loves the Proud Boys

hanimmal said:

For real I have no hate for the Russian people/country at all. I think they have a interesting history and are generally good people just like almost all humanity. It sucks that they are stuck in a bad situation and are having their taxes used to attack our (and every other democratic) nation. I even feel for the people who have to troll for money to help keep their families safe and secure. I understand that times are tough and when people are in bad situations that it can be tough to not hurt people for money. It doesn't make it right, and I hope that they are stopped, but I don't necessarily think they are knowingly evil if they haven't understood what they are doing.

But I really hate that O'keefe dickface too. The ones profiteering by paying to produce the propaganda are the ones that are really the ones that are doing evil. And agree with the reasons, that I do hate all of the propaganda warfare going on regardless of who it is doing it.

The state lead for a Telegram group organizing support for the upcoming trucker convoy to Washington DC is a member of the Maryland DC Proud Boys chapter, Raw Story has confirmed.

“We’ve been tasked with collecting supplies, having people ready for the sides of the road when they do come through our territory, and if they stay in our territory to supply them,” the Maryland DC chapter member wrote under the handle “Peter Venkmen” in the Peoples Maryland/Virginia Convoy chat on Telegram last night.

The username for the “Peter Venkman” account is @GTHaze, the same username as an account that posted a comment last month in the Official MDC Proudboys channel after the chapter chronicled its participation in the Jan. 23 Defeat the Mandates rally in DC. The handle for the @GTHaze account was previously “Ghost MDC,” consistent with the name on a patch worn by a Carroll County member of the chapter on his tactical vest at the rally.

In addition to changing the handle from “Ghost MDC” to “Peter Venkman,” the owner of the @GTHaze account also removed a bio which previously read “4º PB,” indicating a Proud Boy who has taken part in “a major fight for the cause.” The owner of the account also updated their profile photo with an image of actor Bill Murray in Ghostbusters. But the @GTHaze account still shows an archival image of what appears to be a gold-colored cannabis sativa bud with the words “Ghost Train Haze” that was previously featured as the profile photo by the “Ghost MDC” Proud Boy account.

A number of dates have been tossed around by organizers of the American version of the “Freedom Convoy,” and chatter in the People’s Convoy (OFFICIAL) Telegram channel — the largest of many forums dedicated to the cause, with more than 45,000 members — reflects confusion about the start date and paranoia about infiltrators planting disinformation. But a group called OC Conservative Action has announced a convoy to DC that is departing from Barstow, Calif. on Feb. 23, while distributing a map that features Pepe the Frog, an alt-right icon that is considered a white supremacist dog whistle.

In the People’s Maryland/Virginia Convoy chat on Telegram on Tuesday evening, “Ghost” emphasized that the group, currently with 122 members, holds a specific and important responsibility to supply the convoy for a planned occupation of DC.



In a subsequent message in the channel, which has been reviewed by Raw Story, “Ghost” described a military-style effort in which information would be shared with other participants on a need-to-know basis.

“I am treating this, in many ways, like a military operation,” “Ghost” wrote. “I definitely have to be flexible with a lot of it because man here are not used to how that operates, but it’s efficient and it works.

“So, I was given my job and I’m going to do it whether or not I agree with my superior’s methods,” he continued. “If I fail them, they are certain to fail. And that is what I am asking of those in this room; have faith that I am working for the best and safest possible outcomes, and I will explain what I can, when I can. Yet there may be times when I may ask something of you guys — I just need you to please do it.”



Dundas met with organizers of the American convoy on a Zoom call earlier this month, according to Jeremy Johnson, one of the organizers. In a Facebook Live video on Feb. 4, prior to the Zoom meeting, Dundas said, “US convoy coming soon. Sit tight, guys. I don’t want to rush to judgement ono this one. I’m working with a lot of different trucking factions over the next 48 hours here.”



The Proud Boys used their appearance last month at the Defeat the Mandates rally to signal their willingness to return to the nation’s capital, after largely avoiding DC for the duration of 2021 after the Jan. 6 attack due to fear of law enforcement repression. But on Jan. 23, the Official MDC Proudboys channel posted a photo of “Ghost” wearing a tactical vest and smoking a cigar, accompanied by the text, “We’re back!”

Posts on the Official MDC Proudboys channel reflect an unapologetic white nationalist stance that departs from the Proud Boys’ typical efforts to promote its ideology through more politically palatable language about “Western chauvinism.”

One post on the chapter’s Telegram channel from late December reads, “Special place in hell for these people. Day of the rope mutha fucka.” The phrase “day of the rope” is a direct reference to The Turner Diaries, a novel written by neo-Nazi William Pierce that functions as a manual for race war.

The channel has also forwarded posts from white nationalist accounts like Media2Rise, Western Chauvinism, Greyson Arnold and Lauren Witzke

The channel has also called for the death of Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. The Official MDC Proudboys channel shared a TikTok video of Hogan discussing COVID control measures under the headline “Military state is beginning.” In the commentary accompanying the video, the Proud Boys channel launched a fusillade of accusations against Hogan, ending with the hashtag #bringbackpublichanging.

A police lieutenant in Washington, D.C., with ties to right-wing organizations, was recently suspended from his job after allegedly passing intel to the far-right extremists, Proud Boys.

According to The Washington Post, the officer has been identified as top-ranking police 22-year veteran officer, Shane Lamond. Law enforcement officials have confirmed that there is "suggesting communications between Lamond and Henry 'Enrique' Tarrio, who described himself as the former chairman of the group."

Speaking to reporters at a recent news conference, D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee III said "only that a member of the department had been placed on administrative leave during an 'ongoing investigation' being conducted by his department, the FBI and the Department of Justice."

However, Contee did not offer in-depth details about the investigative findings as the probe will be ongoing. Anonymous inside sources also echoed similar remarks.

In a statement defending his client, Tarrio's attorney Jeffrey Feiler pushed back against the latest reports highlighting the Proud Boys leader's ongoing relationship with law enforcement. Per The Post, he also said Tarrio “worked in an undercover capacity in a case involving information pertaining to an illegal immigrant smuggling ring and, again at his own risk, in an undercover role met and negotiated to pay $11,000 to members of that ring to bring in fictitious family members of his from another country.”

When contacted about the latest controversy, Tarrio also dismissed the allegations suggesting that his relationship with Lamond was strictly professional, “He was just a liaison officer for when we held rallies,” Tarrio said of Lamond.

He went on to criticize investigators saying, “They’re just trying to get anybody at this point. I only told him, ‘We’re coming into town and we’re going to hold this protest.’ That’s as far as the relationship went.”

The latest developments follow concerns from local activists who previously complained about the D.C. law enforcement agency's questionable ties to the Proud Boys "pointing to fist-bumps seen between members, officers posing for photos with Proud Boys and some police turning away as members destroyed Black Lives Matters signs," The Post noted. However, the police department has denied the accusation.

A leader of the far-right group Proud Boys was charged with assault on Sunday after he was caught on video shouting racial slurs at a Black woman and then punching her in the face, HuffPost reports.

Andrew Walls, 26, was reportedly drunk outside of an Ohio bar and was seen scuffling with other patrons while spewing racial slurs. At one point, his victim, 23-year-old Cameron Morgan, passed by with a friend when she heard Walls and others around him screaming “Fucking n*****s.”

“We were like ... ‘You can’t say that. That’s not OK,’” she told her dad, local teacher and former sportswriter David Lee Morgan Jr., who recorded the conversation and provided a transcript to HuffPost.

In the video, Walls points his finger at Morgan, calls her the N-word and then says, “B****, shut your mouth,” and punches her directly in the face. According to Morgan's father, Walls also dragged her into the street by her hair.

As the video circulated online, it was discovered that Walls is the vice president of the Akron-Canton chapter of the Proud Boys.

Walls was charged with possessing a firearm while intoxicated and assault. A warrant was issued for his arrest. Morgan's injuries may lead to his assault charge being upgraded to a felony, the Akron Beacon Journal reports. He could also be charged with ethnic intimidation charge.

The timeline is really interesting when lined up with the actual day, and Trump's speech (which Trump also canceled all the speakers there were supposed to follow him freeing up the crowd) to get the whipped up mob to 'march on the Capital'.

Children were forced to flee over the weekend after a man wearing a Proud Boys shirt pulled out a gun at a Drag Queen Story Hour that was taking place at a library in Sparks, Nevada.

Local news station MyNews4 reports that said that the incident took place during an organized Proud Boys demonstration against the event, which they have falsely claimed is about "grooming" children for sexual abuse.

As the demonstration was winding down, a demonstrator pulled out a gun and approached the library, which MyNews4 says forced "everyone, including children, to run into the library for safety."

The Sparks Police Department was reportedly monitoring the Proud Boys protest "from a distance" as it was taking place, but they had left by the time the gun-toting man approached the library.

The Proud Boys are a far-right gang that has been increasingly showing up at Drag Queen Story Hour events across the country in apparent attempts to intimidate organizers. The group was also instrumental in the January 6 riots at the United States Capitol building, and several of the group's leaders have since been indicted on seditious conspiracy charges.

Many of the accused and arrested people involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol were captured in photographs and videos either outside the building or inside. Others were shown in police body camera videos and even social media posts from their fellow attackers. But one man is, a convicted burglar, told his parole officer that his trip to Washington, D.C. was to help the Gideons International hand out Bibles.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that Bryan Betancur is finally admitting that he went to Washington to join members of the Proud Boys in the attack on the Capitol.

According to the plea deal, Betancur went to the rally for former President Donald Trump and stormed the Capitol in the effort to stop the certification of the 2020 election for President-elect Joe Biden.

Betancur was described by the FBI as a white supremacist living with his mother in Silver Spring, Maryland, which is mere miles from the Washington, D.C. line. On Wednesday he was sentenced to just four months behind bars for his participation in the riot.

The main thing that helped the police nab him is that he was wearing an ankle monitor required by probation officials. So, Betancur was tracked from the Ellipse at the White House, marching to the U.S. Capitol, and then to Union Station.

Betancur's lawyer tried a plea that other Jan. 6 attackers have attempted, claiming that he bought into "a falsehood advertised to millions — that former Vice President Mike Pence had the power to overturn the ‘fraudulent election.'" The lawyer also said that Betancur “struggles with mental health issues, which he does not and cannot bring himself to discuss. Instead, he puts on a brave face," the Post reported.

Judge Timothy J. Kelly, who was appointed by Donald Trump in 2017, has been criticized for handing out low sentences in Jan. 6 cases. In this case, Betancur is going to jail for just four months.

"Prosecutor Maria Y. Fedor asked for a six-month term in her sentencing memo, saying Betancur’s Jan. 6 visit to Washington wasn’t the first time he lied to probation officials to get approval to leave Maryland," the report said. "After gaining permission to hand out Bibles for the Gideons in D.C. a month earlier, on Dec. 12, he took part in the Proud Boys’ violent pro-Trump rally in the District that day, Fedor said."

What a bunch of self righteous ass clown domestic terrorists who are way too into sexualizing kids.

Were kids being 'groomed' by Tom Sawyer when they learned about his love interest? I would think it would be extremely hard to find a book that doesn't have some kind of relationship in them. Just because someone is showing a non-heterosexual relationship does not mean that it is 'grooming' like these propagandists are brainwashing their cult into believing.
