LEFT COAST RIGHT WATCH@lcrw.news · 3w ago

NEW from LCRW: @azrww.bsky.social & our editor went to Provo Utah to cover Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer’s pretrial hearings. We found conspiracy theorists trying to get everyone to stick to the facts, and Poso trying to say LCRW killed Kirk because we’re antifa. Take it take all 11,000 of our words

WE WENT TO THE CHARLIE KIRK MURDER HEARINGS & ALL WE GOT WAS…BEING ACCUSED OF... | Left Coast Right Watch

At Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearings, conspiracy theorists & TPUSA people who hate the conspiracies had one thing in common

Ex-Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino is fully public with his white supremacist ideology these days. His latest? He described a woman as a "HERO" after she was caught on video harassing two Muslim American women in a Texas grocery store and said they "aren't welcome in this state or this country."

Screenshot showing two posts on the social media site X. The first, dated one day ago, is from an account with the display name "Sovereign Minds" that reads: "This woman is an American hero! Invaders need to be reminded that they are not welcome here." It includes a video that's 1 minute 38 seconds long. It shows a split screen, with one side showing a woman in blue scrubs standing in a grocery store leaning on a shopping card while harassing the Muslim women. She has light skin, brown hair and is wearing a necklace. The other side of the split screen shows a shopping cart that appears to belong to the Muslim women. A credit line below the video shows it was posted by an account called Suppressed News. According to metrics shown below the post, it has 194 replies, 877 reposts, 7,800 likes and 119,000 views. The second post, also dated one day ago, is a reply from an account with the display name Gregory K Bovino. It reads: "The lady is a HERO." According to metrics shown below the post, it has 31 replies, 91 reposts, 2,200 likes and 10,900 views.

As Armed Forces Brewing Company’s “national brand ambassador,” Robert O’Neill’s volatile conduct and bigoted comments were a source of much concern for some Norfolk community members sizing the firm up when it came to town in 2023. Seems like he’s gone on to validate their read on him.

1. NEW: The Informant is back again today with a look at what former Navy SEAL Robert J. O'Neill has been up to lately. The man who claims to have killed Osama bin Laden was recently the guest of a pro-Hitler podcast hosted by neo-Nazi commentator Stew Peters. Here's a short thread. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Nick Martin@nick-martin.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I'll say more about this soon, but I'm working to publish more frequently on The Informant in the coming weeks and months. Some friends and freelancers are helping make the vision a reality. Stay tuned.

Arizona Right Watch@azrww.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Big emphasis on the “claims” here since many of these Fox News GWoT bobble heads are notorious liars and O’Neill is certainly no exception. Also, has anyone done a study on whether O’Neill is actually the biggest bin Laden merch salesman in the country because LOL, LMAO that merch store.

Nick Martin@nick-martin.bsky.social · 2mo ago

3. Today for The Informant, researcher @azrww.bsky.social dug into O’Neill’s recent appearance on the Stew Peters Show, a racist and antisemitic podcast that streams five days a week on Rumble. O’Neill isn’t just any ex-SEAL. He claims to have killed Osama bin Laden in 2012.

Ok! New little thing I put together that might interest you. It’s in beta so it might have some rough edges still. Are you tired of seeing people with blogs on Nazi-enabling Substack? Do you want to boycott fascist-captured media? Introducing: @snubstack.boo. A labeler to detect Substack links

Pretty incredible leak from @nick-martin.bsky.social who obtained internal vetting interviews and other docs from inside the white supremacist group Patriot Front to reveal a former Navy SEAL linked to a war crimes case is a member of the organization. www.informant.news/patriot-fron...

Secret docs: Neo-Nazi group's newest member is ex-Navy SEAL tied to war crimes case

Records from the white supremacist group Patriot Front show one of its newest recruits is Corey Scott, who once testified that he killed an unarmed captive in Iraq.

Didn't see this one coming: Corey Scott, a former Navy SEAL medic who upended the trial of Eddie Gallagher by testifying that he, not Gallagher, murdered an ISIS prisoner, is a white nationalist member of Patriot Front, according to @nick-martin.bsky.social. www.informant.news/patriot-fron...

The backstory on this is presented in harrowing depth in the podcast The Line. Absolutely infuriating. With a “you can’t handle the truth!” moment that lands like a thunderclap. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

True Crime Podcast · Weekly Series · In 2018, a group of Navy SEALs broke ranks and accused their chief, Eddie Gallagher, of murder—sucking them all into the biggest war crimes trial in a generation. ...

EXCLUSIVE at the newly relaunched @informant.news: We've obtained secret documents showing that a former Navy SEAL whose testimony helped overturn a war crimes case against his platoon leader has recently joined the white supremacist group Patriot Front. www.informant.news/patriot-fron...

A composite image showing, at center, Corey Noel Scott, a white man with thinning dirty blonde hair and beard stubble wearing a black shot and smiling. The image of his face is up-close and in a circle with a light outline. Two other circles are floating in the image that read “PATRIOT FRONT MEMBER IDENTIFIED." That text is on a mock edit of a red, white and blue Patriot Front logo that crosses out their center fasces symbol with an X. Another floating image shows the red, white, and blue patch for Seal Team 7, which is a thin triangle facing downward with a large 7 in the center and the logo for the Navy on top of the 7, seven white stars are at the point of the triangle. All these images are sitting on top of a military group shot that’s faded in the background. The men in camo are holding up guns and a red, white and blue American flag and posing for the camera. Most soldiers are blocked by the various images except for one section where Corey Scott and Eddie Gallagher can be seen in sunglasses by the flag.

Patriot Front is full of teenagers. Patriot Front wants guys like Corey Scott, 34, to help them train and groom teenagers. For example, Kai Liam Nix joined Patriot Front at 15, trained with PF for years, before joining the U.S. Army as a PF recruiter. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

The Navy SEAL medic whose testimony helped Eddie Gallagher walk free in his war crimes case has recently joined a neo-Nazi group. We've obtained secret documents detailing his October interview with the group. We also uncovered his racist and antisemitic X account.

Hi all, I'm looking to hire a freelance editor to work on an article this week. Paid gig. Familiarity with extremism and/or the military is a plus. Email me at nick /at/ informant /dot/ news if interested and available.

When Mesa voted to fluoridate its water in Nov. 1999 (overcoming decades of John Birch Society opposition) I was a reporter at The Arizona Republic covering the story. I got a line into print “Mesa voted to join the 20th Century on Tuesday, with just six weeks left to go!” I stand by that sentence.

Two cities stopped adding fluoride to water. Long-term data showed how ending fluoridation adversely affected the health of the population. www.sciencenews.org/article/fluo...
