Patriot Front - The War on Guns

Masked Intentions

🧵A declassified FBI document confirms longstanding suspicions of the agency's active involvement with Patriot Front for years. With 950 pages of details (heavily redacted), it’s evident that numerous federal assets are deeply embedded within the organization. Interestingly, the… pic.twitter.com/gyTXHUKjFT

So are they directed provocateurs or does it serve the rulers’ interests to have them dismissed as such?

I understand the motives for masks.

I also hold allies to the same standards I hold myself to, and I’ve never worn one.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm…

Hey, remember when Patriot Front got arrested in Idaho? Turns out, the FBI helped them get off by refusing to turn over evidence to either the municipal prosecutors or defense attorneys in a timely manner. [More]

Headlines like this invite a logical question…

Point/Counterpoint

The story isn’t that these are feds. Everyone knows that by now. The story is, as it often is, why? Why would the feds run an op like this? Ask yourself that question. You won’t like the answers. [More]

Vs.

They’re not Feds. I used to think they were too. Like January 6th, our side lives in a bubble and we fault to acknowledge the real ugly right flank of our movement [More]

I suppose if someone had the time to investigate they could join and see where that leads. Or perhaps simpler, surreptitiously follow the truck they load the flags in…

In any case, it’s not the “far right” flank.

An Act of Faith

Is it fair to wonder if anyone talked to him…?

But first, they’re going to need to reassign those assets…

While Kinzinger says the quiet part loud.

I guess these guys weren’t needed for Nazi detail.

“Demask” seems a prerequisite to “Defund.”

National Socialists At It Again

Unless we missed it, no journalist has been able to interview a member of the Patriot Front or identify the leader of the group. You’d think an intrepid reporter could trace the U-Haul truck to the person who rented it … The same seems to go for the 15 or so Nazis who gathered in front of the entrance to Disney World in Florida and waved Nazi flags and DeSantis flags. [More]

It’s almost as if they’re D e m o c r a t e mbedded assets or something…

Attack of the Embedded Assets

Fed Front … err … Patriot Front strikes again. [More]

Your tax dollars at work…

It doesn’t really pay to let the surveillance teams know who you are for later harassment, does it?

Let’s hope we’re seeing more than a mixture of low-hanging fruit and embedded CIs/provocateurs here.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
