What is the Diagolon extremist group and what does it want? (Canadian Truck Convoy)
CTV News Canada ^ | 02 17 2022 | Christy Somos

When Alberta RCMP released images of the weapons and tactical gear seized from a group that took part in the Coutts, Alta., border blockade, the pictures showed patches displaying a white diagonal line on a black background -- the calling card of the Diagolon far-right extremist group.

Four men associated with the Coutts blockade have been charged with allegedly plotting to kill RCMP police officers, but the Mounties have not yet publicly commented on any possible connections with the group.

Without naming any specific group, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino alluded to ties between protesters in Ottawa and the Coutts arrests while speaking to reporters Wednesday, saying “several of the individuals at Coutts have strong ties to a far-right extreme organization with leaders who are in Ottawa. We’re talking about a group that is organized, agile, knowledgeable and driven by an extremist ideology where might makes right.”

Mendicino appeared to double down on his remarks in Thursday’s House of Commons session, saying “there is an ideologically-motivated operation that we see in the rhetoric here that is meant to incite,” which was one of the major reasons the government chose to invoke the Emergencies Act, he said.

WHAT IS THE DIAGOLON?

Diagolon can be categorized as an “accelerationist” group, according to researchers who study extremism.

Director of the Centre for Bias, Hate and Extremism at Ontario Tech University Barbara Perry defined accelerationism as the “intent on accelerating or fomenting a civil war, overturning what they see as the current corrupt, illegitimate order.”

“Dr. Barbara Perry is a recognized global authority on hate crime and the primary national authority on right-wing extremism in Canada. She is the current and founding Co-Chair of the International Network for Hate Studies.”

How much do you want to bet this “recognized global authority” is just an ADL/SPLC operative nothing more.

The group meets once or twice a month. On the off days they can be found running the RCPTA (Royal Canadian Parent Teacher Association) bake sale.

EXACTLY!

The organizers of the Coutts stopage, cancelled the protest, when these guys were arrested. They didn’t want their protest associated with these jokers. Unfortunately, True-dolt’s bought and paid for MSM will smear ALL the protestors with that brush.

It WILL backfire, however. Little Potato’s actions will provide WIPA with a HUGE boost in popularity.

WIPA (Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta) all the way!

Truck Fudeau!

I would bet money that she is not. But no more than one cent. I don't want to lose more than that on a sure loser but I'm willing to take that bet for sporting purposes!

"Unfortunately, True-dolt’s bought and paid for MSM will smear ALL the protestors with that brush."

Just as the presence of a handful of white supremacists on January 6th was used to smear the 200,000 people who aren't white supremacists.

Is being a member of said group a voluntary assignment for the FBI or is a special request from RCMP needed to take part?

Diagolon can be categorized as an “accelerationist” group

So basically it’s the American FBI.

Well, she is obviously a kind, loving, very tolerant individual ... From an organization that never attempts to raise money by promoting hate-speech government-paid seminars!
