The extremist group that Chris Pratt openly supports was involved with Jan 6th and the plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Yes. He does deserve our disdain. Keep it coming.

The amazing thing about the US/Israel propaganda machine is that. Like.
Investigations from the SPLC, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, Hatewatch, and every other verified human rights organization have been used as evidence against the Trump Administration, Russia crimes, China crimes, human rights abuses in the Congo, Darfur, Ethiopia, etc.
Their research and independent fact checking were propped up against all of these conflicts, and were used by every media organization to discuss these issues.
But, without changing a single thing about their investigation or fact-checking methods, suddenly in this *one instance* they're all somehow suddenly not credible and operating on bias?
Who falls for this bullshit?

A Nashville store known for displaying hateful anti-LGBTQ signage has gone a step further by hosting white nationalist fight clubs in a private gym above the store, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) reported Thursday.
Lewis Country Store has provided the gym at least three times in the past month for white nationalist groups “to network and train for hand-to-hand combat,” according to an investigation by Hatewatch, SPLC’s monitoring arm. The fight clubs were discovered through right-wing social media.
“A message posted May 21 on a Telegram channel run by Tennessee Active Club, a white nationalist hate group, led Hatewatch to photographs of the property on a real estate listing website,” the SPLC stated. “Those images were matched to a propaganda video and photographs the group posted online.”
That evidence showed that the gym above Lewis Country Store was used at least three times in 2023, all on Sundays: on April 2, May 7 and May 21, Hatewatch found. The Lewis Country Store is closed on Sunday.

How Newsweek Has Gone Down the Far-Right Rabbit Hole
How Newsweek Has Gone Down the Far-Right Rabbit Hole
Photo Illustration by Kelly Caminero / The Daily Beast A new study from the Southern Poverty Law Center reveals just how much Newsweek has fallen further and further down the fringe-right rabbit hole, thanks largely to the magazine turning over its opinion section to a stridently conservative activist. Hatewatch, which monitors the American radical right for the SPLC, published an extensive…

“All the van’s occupants were in the country legally, either by virtue of their U.S. citizenship, legal residency or valid visas. Stephanie Martinez and her three children are U.S. citizens.”
This, of course, made no difference whatsoever:
“This Latino family was detained by the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office for approximately four hours, without any reason to believe that they had committed a crime. During the detention, the deputy – who announced that he was looking for ‘illegals’ – confiscated the family’s passports and valid immigration documents, and repeatedly threatened the father, Marcos Martinez, with losing his lawful permanent residency if he did not admit to possessing drugs. ... A sheriff’s deputy drove Stephanie Martinez to tears by threatening to separate her from her three children. ... The family’s harrowing experience ended only after Stephanie Martinez made a 911 call from a room inside the sheriff’s office where the family was being held... Soon afterward, the family was told that they could leave. Nothing illegal was ever found and no member of the family was ever charged with a crime or even received a traffic ticket.”

Highest recommendation.
"A pro-Russia propagandist promoted the lie that [t]rump won the election in Pennsylvania and went to the US Capitol on Jan. 6, before abruptly disappearing and later resurfacing in Moscow, the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch reports in a new investigation.
"As Hatewatch previously reported, Charles Bausman moved to Lancaster, a key region in the battle for Pennsylvania's electoral votes in 2018. He purchased a home there for $442,000 after spending almost three decades as an American expatriate in Russia. Hatewatch's previous investigation revealed that Bausman established the pro-Russia website Russia Insider in 2014, and also that two racist junk websites shared the same Google Analytics account with Russia Insider. All three websites featured bylines from members of the white nationalist organization The Right Stuff. As an example of Bausman's open support of Nazism, Hatewatch reported that a 2019 post on Russia Insider was entitled 'Adolf Hitler's Spot-On 1936 Speech on the Evil of Soviet Bolshevism (Transcript).'
"Hatewatch has also previously linked Bausman to a far-right junk news site called Lancaster Patriot that sprung up in late 2020 and then went dark after a local news outlet exposed its editor as a white supremacist. But a physical version of the publication has appeared in recent months promoting vaccine skepticism.
"In addition to promoting anti-lockdown activism in 2020, Bausman joined protests seeking to overturn the presidential election in Lancaster County in late 2020, including one outside Pennsylvania House Speaker Bryan Cutlar's House that included several members of Rod of Iron Ministries, which venerates the AR-15 in its worship services. As Raw Story has previously reported, Rod of Iron Ministries member Robert Pickell scuffled with police outside the Columbus Doors on the east side of the Capitol on Jan. 6 and cult leader Sean Moon led members into the scaffolding on the west side of the building.
"Hatewatch reports that Bausman was also present during the Jan. 6 insurrection, advancing 'as far as the Capitol's balustrades after [t]rump's speech.' Soon after, the outlet reports, Bausman left the country for Moscow.
..."In one interview that aired in the immediate aftermath of the US Capitol attack, Bausman told a Russian interviewer that 'America is awake now,' according to Hatewatch. And referring to the willingness of [t]rump supporters to embrace Russia as an ally, Bausman reportedly said Russia 'now has the chance to build big bridges with half of the United States.' Hatewatch reported that Bausman 'described the US as being irrevocably divided following Biden's election.'"
..."In one television appearance in Moscow in January, Hatewatch reported that Bausman told host Arkady Mamontov that 'it would be naïve to believe the FBI didn't have provocateurs among the protesters' who stormed the US Capitol. Tucker Carlson suggested a similar theory months later on his Fox News show."

The SPLC just posted this visual guide. Please click through for the entire article including detailed breakdowns of flags and symbols. The “Kekistan” flag above is all over Tumblr on popular “anti-SJW” blogs.
Flags and Other Symbols Used By Far-Right Groups in Charlottesville August 12, 2017 - SPLC - Hatewatch Staff
The so-called “Unite The Right” rally organized by white nationalist Jason Kessler in Charlottesville, Virginia, has succeeded in drawing out a diversity of far-right groups ranging from white nationalists to armed “Patriot” groups.
What follows is a guide to some of the flags and symbols as spotted by Hatewatch analysts:
The above is a poster for the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally derived from Benjamin Franklin’s famous “Join, or Die” cartoon.
The groups depicted include from left to right (K) “Kekistani,” (AC) “Anti-Communist,” (L) “Libertarian,” (N) “Nationalist,” (I) “Identitarian/Identity Evropa,” (SN) “Southern Nationalist,” (NS) “National Socialist,” and (AR) “Alt Right.” The National Socialist flags depicted include Traditionalist Worker Party and Vanguard America.

Well, if this isn’t part of a coordinated effort by the Left create a phantom menace, I’m not sure what would qualify.
Basically, the SPLC has decided to eliminate the problem of Black Separatist/Black Supremacist violence by redefining it as something else. The argument they make is that racism is something only whites can do because they’re the only ones with power.
They’re not completely erasing these groups from the database. They’re eliminating the category and spreading the groups among other, non-racial headings. SPLC takes this position because
Black separatist groups earn their place among our hate listings not for their calls for separation, but rather for how entrenched these groups are in antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ, misogynistic and xenophobic rhetoric.
So it’s not that they want a racially exclusive entity or want to impose a black supremacist system that makes them bad. It’s that they want to go after LGBT people or hate Jews that makes them bad.
Basically, they want to push the narrative that Whate Nationalism/White Supremacy is the threat that the Democrats want us to believe it is. This comes at the same time the DoD is performing a stand down among the armed services to seek out white supremacists because of the Capitol riot. Something never done when members of other hate groups performed acts of violence. Then it was deliberately, and misleadingly, categorized as “workplace violence” (eg Hassan attack at Ft. Hood).
Their argument is that Black Supremacist/Black Separatist groups are justified in their ideology. Why? Because of institutional racism and history of suffering at the hands of whites. Ok. But then they still list Jewish Defense League (the Kahane folks)in their hate group section rather than burying them among other designations. The Jewish people suffered centuries of institutionalized antisemitism. But apparently, that doesn’t justify their hateful ideology. It leaves them designated as hate group. Why? Because the SPLC isn’t bothered by labeling a Jewish group as a hateful ideology but is unwilling to do the same to Black groups who have similarly hateful ideologies.
Basically, what they are saying is “if they just weren’t so gosh darn transphobic (or whatever), then their brand of hatred and racial separatism would be totally ok.” And that is a false distinction. It either is, or it isn’t.
The SPLC is once again showing it’s not interested in dealing with the problem. It’s interested in targeting the groups it doesn’t like and protecting the hate they do.

“Part of the problem is that if, hypothetically, someone flashed white supremacist symbols at the camera, the point of the stunt would be to get liberals wound up, so they can then claim that liberals are just imagining things,” she wrote. “That was what the OK symbol was literally invented to do: Both serve as a white supremacist symbol and also one that is just ordinary-enough looking that when liberals expressed outrage, the white supremacist could play the victim of liberal hysteria.”
So what does it mean when someone flashes the OK sign? In the end, it can mean almost anything, but primarily it’s one of three things:
*   It can be a harmless use of its traditional meaning that all’s well.
*   It can be an ironic attempt to troll liberals with a symbol chosen to “trigger” their inner “SJWs.”
* It can be a surreptitious way of signaling your presence to other white supremacists.
So when someone flashes the “OK sign” with that knowing smirk, it’s not just a harmless act that can be dismissed. It may or may not mean that they are a white nationalist attempting a sly signal. But the sign unquestionably identifies the user as one thing: a troll.

I was wondering why the RNC platform specifically called out the Southern Poverty Law Center regarding hate groups in that there are other major anti-hate/anti-white nationalist groups, and then I got an SPLC email detailing their current Hatewatch post investigating Don Jr. at a We Build the Wall event (the company that turned out to be a huge scam and has resulted in Bannon’s arrest) so that tracks

Today, an investigation by reporter Michael Hayden for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)’s Hatewatch revealed that US State Department official Matthew Q. Gebert has been active in the neo-nazi movement over the last several years. Leaked Discord chat logs obtained by Unicorn Riot also prove that Gebert’s username was posting in racist groups throughout 2017 and indicate he may have attended the deadly Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville.
Gebert currently works as a foreign affairs officer in the State Department’s Bureau of Energy Resources. His career at the State Department began in 2013 via a “presidential management fellowship” focused on “developing a cadre of potential government leaders” according to academic and government records.
Gebert has made repeated appearances on anti-semitic alt-right podcasts such as ‘The Fatherland’, according to reporting by SPLC. His podcast appearances as well as his leaked Discord chats also indicate he has hosted white nationalist gatherings at his home,
Matthew Gebert’s Discord chat handle is ‘Coach – DC‘, and his leaked Discord posts links directly to his Twitter profile @DC_Pilots, which was conclusively tied to Gebert by Hatewatch.
Gebert’s Discord is active in two different servers in the logs obtained by Unicorn Riot. The majority of his 22 leaked messages are in the server ‘Vibrant Diversity‘, which users referred to as  “the most elite discord server in the Alt Right”. Posts by ‘Coach – DC’ in ‘Vibrant Diversity’ include a meme of Hitler and Mussolini, a swastika-shaped cookie, and a picture of a pro-diversity yard sign riddled with bulletholes.

Three of the four were arrested Tuesday near Los Angeles: 25-year-old Benjamin Drake Daley of Redondo Beach, California, 34-year-old Walter Gillen of Redondo Beach, California, and Michael Paul Miselis, a 29-year-old Lawndale, California resident. The FBI took the fourth person, 24-year-old Cole Evan White of Clayton, California, into custody near San Francisco.
U.S. Attorney Thomas Cullen, whose district includes Charlottesville, said the four men had previously taken part in violence during “alt-right” and other racist activities in Berkeley, California, in the spring of 2017, just months before “Unite the Right.”
“In our view, they were essentially serial rioters,” Cullen said during a press conference at the federal courthouse blocks from where the Aug. 11-12, 2017, rally turned deadly.
All four men have been charged with conspiracy to violate federal rioting laws and one count each of violating the federal rioting laws. Each was scheduled to appear in court in California on Tuesday and expected to make appearances in Charlottesville within two weeks.
The charges stem from violence after the demonstrators using tiki torches marched through the Lawn at the University of Virginia toward the university’s Rotunda and iconic statue of founder Thomas Jefferson, chanting, “Blood and Soil!” and “Jews will not replace us!” The march preceded the Aug. 12 rally that turned violent.
The next day, racists, neo-Nazis and their followers descended on downtown Charlottesville near a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in a rally that became a riot. A 21-year-old man from Maumee, Ohio, James Alex Fields Jr., is charged with ramming his car into a crowd gathered to protest the racist presence. A 32-year-old paralegal, Heather Heyer, died in the attack. Fields faces state first-degree murder charges and federal hate crime charges.
The charges filed Tuesday mark the second time federal officials have filed charges stemming from the rally. The case of Fields, who is scheduled for trial in state charges in November and December, was the first.
Cullen said others may face charges in the future as the investigation continues and more people who took part in the violence are identified. Cullen said the men haven’t been charged with a hate crime because doing so would have required prosecutors to show that racial animus or religion were primary motivators in prompting the men to attack others. Hate crime charges are possible in the future, Cullen said.
“Given the evidence we have and the MO of this particular group, we felt more comfortable that the riots act was a more appropriate charge,” Cullen said.
RAM and violence
The four are adherents of the Rise Above Movement, an SPLC-designated white nationalist hate group composed of hardcore white supremacists inspired by Identitarian aesthetics and the European circuit of racist, neo-Nazi MMA promotions, clothing brands and football hooliganism. The group organizes and trains primarily to engage in fighting and violence at political rallies.
In Berkeley, the group’s members appeared alongside many factions of the far-right, including neo-Nazi and racist skinheads, racist “alt-right” groups like Identity Evropa, and “alt-lite” groups like the Proud Boys and Kyle “Based Stickman” Chapman’s now-defunct Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights. A handful of RAM members also hold membership in the largest national network of racist skinheads in the U.S., known as theHammerskin Nation, of which mass murderer Michael Page was also a member.
“This is a group that aggressively subscribes to an antisemitic, racist ideology,” Cullen said.
The group’s activities and attacks during the Berkeley riots have been charged as overt acts — an element of the conspiracy to riot — in Virginia.
In the 23-page criminal complaint unsealed on Tuesday, Daley, Gillen, Miselis and White are identified in social-media pictures and videos as taking part in the torch-lit march and in social-media conversations as having admitted to hitting bystanders.
“We had them completely surrounded,” Daley is quoted as telling someone on social media. “I hit like 5 people.”
The complaint also outlines how the FBI says it used social-media videos to identify Daley as taking part, along with unidentified others, in punching, beating and headbutting counter-protesters on Second Street NE in downtown Charlottesville.
The FBI claims that after arriving in Charlottesville on Aug. 11, 2017, Daley went to Walmart and bought white athletic tape, black spray paint and a folding tactical knife.
The pictures, some of which are embedded in the complaint, seem to show RAM members with taped fists punching and kicking counter-protesters. In one image, White, with two-toned platinum hair, appears to be head-butting an unarmed clergyman.
Gillen, with hands taped as they were in Berkeley, is seen in another photo apparently beating on counter-protesters along with Daley and Miselis on Aug. 12, 2017.
Other images included in the complaint allegedly show Miselis, White, Daley and Gillen beating, headbutting, kicking and attacking unarmed counter-protesters around downtown Charlottesville. In one photo, Daley is shown after allegedly throwing a water bottle at a counter-protester and making a throat-slashing gesture at them.
Search warrants for the social-media accounts of the four men, as well as open-source photos and videos, were used to identify Daley, Gillen, Miselis and White, said FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Thomas Chadwick.
What’s next?
Once a bond or detention status is determined for the four men, a grand jury has 30 days to indict them. Cullen expects all four to appear in federal court in Virginia within two weeks. After that, unless a speedy-trial waiver is granted, the men could face a jury as soon as 70 days from indictment.
“We could be trying this case by the end of the year,” Cullen said. “And we’re ready to do that.”
That timing could leave Charlottesville facing two trials — the four RAM defendants and Fields’ murder trial — just blocks from each other and from where the violence took place at the same time.
But that doesn’t mean the investigation is over. In the photos released as part of the complaint, multiple unidentified people can be seen, some of whom were taking part in the violence.
Cullen said agents and attorneys are continuing to pore over the video and photos from “Unite the Right” trying to identify others who took part in the attacks and eliminate the possible claims of self-defense.
Until the investigation is closed, Cullen said, anyone who took part in the attacks can’t rest easy.

Antisemitism. The Nazis and KKK are both into that even though they're Christians. But Jesus is a Jew. The king of the Jews. Haven't they read the Bible about the gathering of Israel? So that's why I'm kinda creeped out by satanists and especially cuz Nazis were into your occult and child molestation. If you're against Christianity, might you not be against Jews? They've been through enough. Even many atheists agree, if not all of them, that the Holocaust was a terrible thing. So in that light being against Christianity might be indirectly antisemitic. People usually just react and won't make that connection. They want that they want and they want it now. If the BBS geeks are antisemitic that's something to be investigated and if they're being set up as well. Who would hack teens? Don't be script kiddies. You'll get pwned. That's how most people start out though in the security business. Remember butt trumpet for mirc? Trojan. #teampixel #pixelportrait #pixel4a5g #googlepixel4a5g #hatewatch #splc and local Latinos/Chicanos that are haters/predatory i can't stand. I hate hate and predators.
