Jack Posobiec is a very influential MAGA media figure. He posted this today. In the 1930s Fr. Denis Fahey was probably most well know for being one of the most outspoken anti-semites in the world...quite an accomplishment for that era.
Avatar
For example, Fahey once wrote "we must combat Jewish efforts to permeate the world with naturalism. In that sense, as there is only one divine plan for order in the world, every sane thinker must be an anti-Semite." He was on very friendly terms with America's Father Coughlin.

Fahey claimed that communism was a plot to create “a world-state in which the Jewish race will be supreme” and “have control of the wealth of the nations." FWIW, Posobiec just published a new book about the danger of Communism. www.google.com/books/editio...
Unhumanswww.google.com If you don’t understand communist revolutions, you aren’t ready for what’s coming.   The old rules are over. The old order is over. Accusations are evidence. Activism means bigotry and hate. Criminals...

This is an excellent piece of Fahey's fascistic antisemitism and the sorts of contemporary fascists like Posobiec who are keeping Fahey's flame alive. international.la-croix.com/news/politic...

Here he is chilling with Vivek R. Posobiec works for Human Events, which is a reboot of the far right media outlet (one click to the right of and one notch dumbed down from National Review) that was Ronald Reagan's favorite from the 1960s into the 80s. youtu.be/bMkPLnXjqaQ?...

Posobiec set off fashy alarm bells for me back in 2017 when he was just a baby MAGA influencer with 50k followers. Now he has 2.5 million followers.

This MAGA fascism train has been heading towards us, steadily picking up steam, since 2016. It’s astonishing to me that there are still folks who claim it’s all a mirage.

Precisely. But it's not eliminating a religion in a bad way if you are only eliminating the wrong ones!

It's a dig on religious pluralism, which they saw as a liberal trojan horse for communism.
Avatar
As in, they'll allow many religions now, but then once they're in control they'll ban them all.

I guess we could call it a tie. My sense is that Fahey was even more outspoken and direct about it.

It means that the "real danger" to liberty is "one world communism promoted by the (((globalists)))" while theocracy is actually its friend.

As @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social has previously reported (with more coming soon), this Republicans for National Renewal organization has been a happy home for some quite fashy, "blood and soil" types of young Republicans.

Trejo is an example of the sort of Identity Evropa, blood and soil nationalists that are involved with this RNR group. Last I saw, Trejo also held an official position with his county-level GOP organization.
Avatar
The Nick Fuentes-groyper-ization of the GOP continues apace in a bottom-up fashion through activists like Trejo and organizations like RNR where they find employment and empowerment...and also in a top-down fashion when Trump gives such organizations his thumbs up.

This is hilarious. In his defense, though, it makes no sense to most people that Trump is still a free man if he actually committed those crimes. We heard it on the Georgia phone recording! But we aren't willing to make him pay for it. So it must not be a crime.

This would be the same Elon Musk who yesterday proposed that one type of election fraud should be treated as treason, punishable by death. bsky.app/profile/pale...
I think this is the first time Musk has suggested fellow Americans should be executed.

That Wall Street Silver guy is Canadian, but the Hodge twins are American. Hm, I wonder if there are laws that apply to Americans who promote plans made by foreign actors to sabotage our elections? uspto.report/TM/98100097

I mean, the guy is Canadian so I guess we should cut him some slack when it comes to understanding American elections.

One of Musk’s favorite accounts tweeting out election sabotage incitement. Obviously not a fan of The Wire. @bestofdyingtwit.bsky.social
Here we see a right wing Twitter account with 1.3 million followers being retweeted by an account with 2.5 million followers calling for conservatives to sabotage the upcoming American election. Musk, BTW, has interacted amicably with these accounts several times.
Avatar
Not sure. I just remember seeing musk interact with the account previously.

It would be terrible if FBI or DOJ officials paid Wall Street Silver guy a visit to inform him about the federal penalties for election fraud.
Avatar
It would be terrible if evidence emerged that proved that this person’s tweet encouraged people to take these illegal actions.

Thankfully, I don’t pay enough attention to him to know the answer.

I’m assuming that’s why the OP is anonymous.
