OK, I'm in for $50.

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."

What.

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.

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.

It's been a minute since I've posted a somewhat substantial thread like this on any platform.

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.

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. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

NEW: Ex-Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill, who claims to have killed Osama bin Laden, recently sat for a friendly interview on a neo-Nazi podcast. www.informant.news/robert-j-one...

Robert O'Neill? No, no, no;' I'm talking about Robert J. O'Neill, the locker room speech-giver for Team USA in the WBC? The one Mark DeRosa said was his idea to invite? THAT Robert J. O'Neill--

[yaaaawn, stretch] G'morning! So how are things go... "Robert J. O’Neill, who claims to have killed Osama bin Laden, recently did a friendly interview with a pro-Hitler podcaster." Sigh.

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

What a return to publishing from the always great @nick-martin.bsky.social (with an assist from @azrww.bsky.social) This is tremendous journalism

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...

Not surprised. Hell of a crew on that platoon. Truely the best and worst.

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

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...

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.

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...

News incoming.

Mic check. 1, 2. Is this thing on? *tap tap*

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.

Drew Pinsky, the celebrity doctor known as Dr. Drew, continues his downward spiral. This weekend, he appeared on the podcast of Elijah Schaffer, a racist and antisemitic commentator who was fired from the right-wing network The Blaze for allegedly sexually assaulting a female colleague.

Arizona's Democratic governor goes to war with one of the 2020 fake Republican electors who also recently used "legislative immunity" to dodge a ticket or arrest for extreme speeding. She's now vetoing his bills.

AI really is the future of journalism

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

Shapiro responds to Schumer letter to DOJ for hate crime investigation: “I don't think it's helpful for people on the outside who haven't seen the evidence, who don't know what occurred, who are applying their own viewpoints to the situation, to weigh in in that manner.” forward.com/fast-forward...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio just sat down for a one-on-one interview with a man who, as @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social has reported, has claimed that "Jewish influence on the West" has led to "white genocide" and once said "Hitler actually had some decent points." www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...

Strangely, the official who is exploiting legit concerns about antisemitism to revoke hundreds of students’ visas and undermine democracy has… no qualms about sitting down with an antisemite who thinks “Hitler actually had some decent points.” 🤔

They've pointed to nothing suggesting this innocent man is even _a_ member, much less a _top_ member of MS-13 And now he's a terrorist too? What they gonna say he was responsible for next, the Oklahoma City Bombing?

This is a huge loss. I never had a chance to meet him, but Leonard Zeskind made a major impact in the fight against hate and bigotry in the US over the past 40 or so years. His book, "Blood Politics," remains one I continue to recommend to anyone interested in entering the fray.

And Rubio claims he can decide which university students are antisemitic

There are no moderates among the Republicans, even the ones you may have hoped would have stayed moderate. This will apply more and more to far right antisemitism, as well. Although all the other racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and transphobia should have been enough to understand this.

New Yorkers, state budget negotiations are still underway and we need to keep the pressure on. Call your NY State Senator and Assemblymember today and tell them #NoNYMaskBan! covidadvocacyny.org/stopmaskbanny

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

Per a press release from Wilmington Police Department in Wilmington, Ohio, John Kevin Workman of the Dayton chapter of the Ohio Proud Boys was arrested today for inducing panic after bringing a firearm to his previous place of employment. On Facebook, Workman uses the alias John Ottis.

People did this media story in 2017, but it's an even bigger one now - the old WH press corps, for all its sins, losing space to pro-Trump media with questions that boil down "sir, how can we help you?"

Woman beater Jordan Conradson

The "reporter" was Jordan Conradson of the racist conspiracy site The Gateway Pundit. Less than 24 hours ago, Conradson, who identifies as Korean-American, shared a social media post declaring: "White Lives Matter." Last year, he wore a "Kari Lake for US Senate" hat while covering her campaign.

Bukele doesn't "have something" on Trump. Trump isn't afraid to fight for Garcia's return. He doesn't want him returned. Trump and Bukele are engaged in a mutually-beneficial authoritarian partnership designed to profit off the destruction of legal protections. That's it. It isn't that hard.
