In the video above, she says they only show up in blue cities. I don't know if that's true, but it would make sense if their purpose was merely to make all the talk about scary white nationalism seem like a real threat.

They showed up in Coeur de Alene last year to protest the drag shows for kids, if you remember our thread on that. Not exactly a blue city, but the CDA cops handled it like blue cops, after the anonymous tip.

What big city isn't blue?

That's the one where they yanked them out of the truck, let them keep mostly keep their masks on and gave them the loosest Flex Cuffs in history?  Yeah, totally legit.

Five of the 31 douches at that arrest got jail time:

I'd be really interested in the Venn Diagram of who was allowed to keep their mask on while in custody and who caught charges.

Brief reasons I believe this is a fed op. These are based mostly on my experiences dealing with the KKK and pseudo-KKK types who live in my neck of the woods.
1. No fat bodies. 
2. Going with khaki and dark blue, an extremely "federal agent" look, as a uniform, over white shirts and black pants, or camo, or jeans and solid color shirts.
3. Too much uniformity.  Americans are not Germans.  Even in the military, you're always going to get at least one ahole in any group who has to be non-conformist just to be non-conformist. Unless you're putting on a show...
4. No *expletive deleted*ing fat bodies (and I emphasize this as a *expletive deleted*ing fat ass myself).
5. No stains.  This isn't a grassroots group marching for a cause, this is a play, with costumes laid out in advance, and spares on hand, so everyone looks clean.
6. Minimal visible tats.

Now, that's not to say this group isn't sincerely racist. The ATF used to host a Good Ol' Boys Round Up that lasted well into the Clinton Presidency.

I just think that if this were an authentic movement and not a fed op, we'd be seeing a lot more multicam, sleeve tats, beer bellies, and at least one dude on oxygen and/or riding a mobility scooter. Not to mention at least a few women.

#2 would be one reason that I might say this is NOT a fed op.

I mean, I guess it could be a 4D chess move or something, but there's a ton of tactical clothes feds are familiar with that are available in colors other than fed.cop Khaki and Navy.

It’s feds but then again it is not for us to observe, it’s the refreshing of the favorite boogeyman for the left to point at as a dire threat to democracy. And it’s also to bolster the left for Biden, now they’ve had a week of gaslighting to convince themselves that Biden is A-OK and Trump is the real one with dementia.

Is anyone else surprised there was no Patriot Front news in October? Maybe they'll show up again on Jan. 6th or 20th...

They're busy flying drones in New Jersey.

And in a couple of weeks none have crashed? That's not typical of what I'd expect if they were Patriot Front drones.
Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

I am hoping the new administration is able to release more information on these people.  It seems to me it should be public who is funding these people.

I remember seeing a video showing the police closing off a subway terminal just for them to leave the area without anyone seeing where they were going and no video from inside the terminal.  That isn't something most groups could manage.

Yet here in Idaho, the cops went to the opposite extreme, arresting them without a crime being committed. So who knows what the real story is.

Weren't they pretty careful about releasing the identity of those guys?

I'm pretty sure all their names were blasted all over the news, at least here.

Patriot Front shuts down same day Wray resigns. Odd timing.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
