Dr Cam & I done a interview with Robert Evans (Behind the Bastards<\/a> \/\/\/ bellingcat<\/a>) for the August edition of Floating Anarchy on The SUWA Show on 3CR.<\/p>\n

You can listen to the podcast version here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also recommend listening to Evans’ audiobook, The War On Everyone<\/a>, from Chapter 1: The Eternal Fascist — ‘There is nothing new under the sun. In this chapter, you\u2019ll learn about \u201cUr-Fascism\u201d, and how humor and irony have historically been used to enable its rise’ — to Chapter 7: The Digital Reich — ‘This is where we are now: an era where a distributed network of individual extremists are able to radicalize each other and inspire acts of violence worldwide. This is not the result of an unhappy accident, or an unforeseen consequence of the digital era. It\u2019s the result of decades of careful planning.’<\/p>\n

No Ngo No<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quillette<\/em>, ‘The Magazine of Contemporary Phrenology’, has lost one of its contributing editors: Andy Ngo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You may remember Ngo from when he was mUrdErEd by a hit squad of anTEEfa<\/a> supersoldiers<\/a> in Portland a few months ago.<\/p>\n

Well … kinda. Actually, Ngo survived his brain injury well enough to tell lies about the El Paso shooting. Hence<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Far-right networks on Twitter are trying to use a hoax spread by an American Conservative news and opinion website a few days ago to blame a mass shooting in El Paso on “antifa” \u2014 a loose collective of left-wing activists who focus on combating racism, sexism, xenophobia and other oppressive ideologies … In its July 30 story, the Daily Caller cited Andy Ngo as its source for the claim … And as one of the most prominent foot soldiers in the right-wing’s war on antifa, Ngo never misses a chance to manufacture fear-mongering propaganda targeting his foes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyway, Ngo’s departure from that august intellectual journal Quillette<\/em> was immediately preceded by the public exposure of his participation in a group which attacked Portland venue Cider Riot on May Day 2019. This has been helpfully documented by Some Guy called ‘Ben’, who infiltrated the group.

Ngo’s departure from Quillette<\/em> also followed on from an American Guard\/Patriot Prayer\/Proud Boys rally in Portland on August 17 to ‘End Domestic Terrorism’<\/a> (by way of criminalising anti-fascism). Trump was a YUGE fan of the rally, but it attracted more counter-protesters than it did supporters and, on the whole, apart from a supportive tweet from Cheeto Mussolini — along with celebrations by Fox (etc.) — it was not a suckcess.
