The Proud Boys' Conviction Is Big News, Their Role As FBI Informants, Not So Much
Jacobin ^ | 5/06/2023 | Branko Marcetic

Almost none of the reports about Thursday's conviction of four Proud Boys members mentioned the fact that the far-right group was riddled with FBI informants.

But his king od law enforcement collusion with the far right is a profound threat to democracy.

The news that four members of the far-right organization the Proud Boys were just convicted for seditious conspiracy, including their former leader Enrique Tarrio, has made the rounds this week.

But if you only tuned in to the proceedings a few days ago to read about the verdict, there's something you almost certainly haven't heard: that both Tarrio and as many as eight other Proud Boys were secretly FBI informants, in part helping law enforcement to target Black Lives Matter protesters and other left-wing activists.

That's because, after a non-exhaustive survey of reports covering the verdict, I discovered that only two news outlets, the Associated Press (AP) and the Washington Post, mentioned that government informants were present within the Proud Boys' ranks, even though this fact was among the most shocking revelations that came out in the course of the trial...

The Post 9/11 US Security State spies on all groups sends in the undercover informants and manipulates groups to do its bidding.

People that consider themselves "Patriots" used by the FBI to spy on the Left then entrapped at the US Capitol by the feds on January 6th.

What fools.

One of the big stories to be uncovered is the use of the people at the Capitol on January 6th by the federal authorities during the riots following George Floyd's killing.

These people were under federal direction and control that ended up leading them to the US Capitol on January 6th.

Not “just” the Proud Boys (a group that I had never heard of before a year ago), but also the Oath Keepers too.

This is a leftist assault via the DOJ and FBI and various other traitorous alphabet agencies.

And the lies and propaganda are still continuing.

I despise Liars and Traitors to the Nation and the Constitution.

This must end.

“This must end.”

Our governments are ‘rat infested and will remain that way.

If you have children, make sure they master a language other than English.

“shocking revelations”

Expect any group of more than a few people to have an in-fill-traitor.

Never trust with your freedom any person whose family you do not know on a first name, readily recognized basis.

Government agents will put their lives on the line, but rarely that of their wives or children.

Knowing a spouse alone is not sufficient for deep trust.

Read the news - they are out to get Justice Thomas and switch the Supreme Court.

“Clarence Thomas is the most corrupt justice in American history”

It is not "collusion," it is entrapment.

I once worked for a hundred year old company (one of two) that sold to a young man who’s father became wealthy in the oil/NG industry. He put his son in position to buy the company. Less than a year later I left the company, disgusted by how the young owner treated the old owner. They held him in contempt. They had promoted me and gave me a VP title. I quit, convinced they were going down. Six weeks later, they ran off a minority stockholder and it took another 3 years for a new CEO to put it in the black again.

A few years later he bought a similar company in CA. The young owner moved to CA. He had his children learning Chinese. He bought into the green nonsense. He lost more money every year in CA every year than the Texas based company could offset with their profits.

Long story short? Both Companies went down. Bankrupted by the CA, Green and Globalist mentality.

China exists on slave labor. Yes. Even today. And the Globalists love it.

I have deep respect for the Chinese people, but no use for the CCP.

There are long stories that go along with this, but they are not suited to this forum.

I’ve been there.
