I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.

Jonathan Choe in the pic has been a fellow at the anti-Darwinian evolution Discovery Institute and was a LOGOS fellow with the Manhattan Institute. He’s doing videos for Frontlines now. He was fired from his local news job after he put out a segment advertising the Proud Boys featuring a Nazi song.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Jonathan Choe to Trump: "Another group right now that is behind antifa and working with antifa very closely based on the research that we have right now that we're gonna give to you and your team are the Democratic Socialists of America."

Choe doesn't miss an opportunity to reframe a media event. Below he frames a Palantir protest as "pro-Hamas" in Seattle.

HAPPENING NOW: Pro-Hamas activists have gathered outside Palantir’s Seattle office on 400 Fairview Ave N in South Lake Union. They’re big mad at this tech company because it’s secured numerous government deals for national security, immigration enforcement, and other operations.

This assault by TPUSA "reporter" Jonathan Choe needs more attention. Journalists I'm looking at you. His victim was arrested.

He also punched a defender of a migrant center multiple times last year. publicola.com/2024/04/19/h...

By applying protections meant for vulnerable groups to shield government actors, Apple has created — within its own ecosystem — a new kind of protected class: state power itself.

Recording public officials is not harassment. It’s democracy.

In a fight between Pritzker and and police, who is going to win? This is what happens when both parties allowed law enforcement to become one of the most powerful political actors in the country -- a taxpayer-funded political movement that wants to kill people.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

Curtis Yarvin says he’s considering leaving the U.S. because the Trump administration is failing to kill democracy to his liking and he fears political retribution from Democrats if they regain power.

Citing fear of Democratic ‘vengeance,’ Curtis Yarvin says he may flee the U.S.

The far-right blogger doesn’t think the Trump administration has done enough to dismantle democratic institutions.

Right now there is a push to merge the tech reactionaries with the Christian nationalists but it is hard to see that not collapsing over competing interests sooner rather than later. No doubt and Yarvin is a terrible fool as well.
