Because TikTok is an incredible place, every time we open the app now, we are shown that fake video of a reporter being arrested. Simultaneously, a bunch of commenters are convinced our video of state troopers in Broadview from yesterday evening is AI. Perfect, no notes

Just today, here's a story from the @chicago.suntimes.com -- not only are ICE/feds masking themselves constantly (and some local cops too, I've seen it), now they're driving around without license plates. More "laws for thee, whatever I wanna do for me" in action chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

Please reach out if you have more info about Joseph William Behling of Manchester NH, previously of Hooksett NH! Allegedly “Marcus NH” of Patriot Front & the New England Active Club, and involved in Patriot Front’s efforts to recruit teens, Behling is potentially a serviceman in the US Navy.

A triptych of images of various points in Joseph Behling of Manchester NH's life. The first is him at his Londonderry High School Class of 2021 graduation ceremony. He wears: a blue graduation gown and cap; a corded sash in red, white, and blue; a medal with a red, white, and blue ribbon with several pins attached; and half-frame glasses. He holds his graduation certificate in its shut holder. He grins, blithely. The second is from a Patriot Front photo op, taken in front of a concrete wall in a wooded area somewhere in or around Manchester NH, during December 2022. A man who is allegedly Joseph Behling holds his right fist to his heart, and conceals his face with a white gaiters and tan baseball cap with a black variant of the Vermont Republic flag. He also wears what appears to be a Colombia Ascender softshell jacket, khaki pants, and glasses. The wall behind him has been vandalized with graffiti, of which a Patriot Front fasces symbol is somewhat visible. The third is allegedly of Behling during Patriot Front's standout against SatanCon in Boston MA during April 2023. A white man of average build, he wears a white gaiter that covers the lower half of his face, including his nose, black aviators, a tan baseball cap with a Patriot Front flag patch on the front, and a navy blue zip-up jacket with a hood. The right sleeve has a pair of patches: the Christian identity flag, and an Appeal to Heaven flag. His right arm is extended outward, and he clutches a cross (with a figure of Jesus crucified upon it) as if attempting to ward something off.

Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…
