The MAGA thinktank that brought us Project Esther uses antisemitic code words (globalist) and says neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes has a spot in the conservative big tent.

Essential thread:*

*screenshot is of FB post in case you’re not going to read the thread
Facebook post with same text as this Bsky thread. “Ben Lorber • •• X 4h • G On Monday, Tucker Carlson's two-hour friendly conversation with white nationalist Nick Fuentes on the topic of Israel and "organized Jewry" was shocking enough. But today's 2.5 minute video from the head of the Heritage Foundation just completely shattered the right-wing pro-Israel consensus. Heritage President Kevin Roberts defended Carlson & said conservatives shouldn't reflexively support Israel, no matter the pressure from the "globalist class". He told conservatives not to disavow Fuentes-- of "Hitler was cool" fame-- but to debate his ideas within the conservative big-tent. The leading MAGA organization welcomed right-wing antisemitism into the movement with open arms-- the same organization that just one year ago published Project Esther, MAGA's authoritarian plan to crush the 'antisemitic' pro-Palestine Left. I've been covering Fuentes since 2019 & have a piece coming out next week on how his long-term metapolitical strategy has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. This was always his goal-- to force the Right's Israel conversation out into the open on his terms; to shift, then shatter the Overton window so that antisemitism moves mainstream. The flow of US weaponry & diplomatic cover to Israel won't disappear overnight. But the 'Judeo-Christian' consensus undergirding decades of the US-Israel 'special relationship' is gone. MAGA philosemitism & Christian Zionism will soon be a thing of the past. We're in uncharted territory. The Jewish Right's strategy of allying with Christian nationalism has completely backfired, as the Jewish Left said it would. Israel's right-wing defenders are marginalized & flailing, on the backfoot & apoplectic. MAGA populism & national-conservatism is barrelling towards hard-edged, conspiratorial anti-Zionism. Nick Fuentes won.”

By the way, if you want to stand up against the fascist march in London today but don’t want to be surrounded by SWP lollipops, this is one option.
LONDON IS ANTIFASCIST * SEPTEMBER 13, 12PM* * MEET AT: NW Corner of Russell Square, WC1B* Tommy Robinson, along with racist rioters from across the UK and various far-right mob leaders are going to be coming together for what they are thinking will be the "largest free speech rally the world has ever seen". We will not stand by and turn a blind eye. Join us as we make sure our message is clear: racists and bigots are not welcome in London. The police will not stop these violent gangs from attacking our communities or from preaching hate against our neighbours. In our numbers, we will keep each other safe.

So, David Miller, what was it about “unapologetically White” neo-Nazi VoxExVeritas that first appealed to you?

(By the way, Jacob Cohen, the man in the video that David Miller is sharing here, is now a member of Alain Soral’s party. Soral is the guy in the attached pic. Cohen’s video has inspired at least one antisemitic murder.)

Protests in #Indonesia: youth on the streets against a corrupt, repressive and murderous government

“This is beyond our prediction, usually during a demonstration, protesters only threw rocks or burn a tyre in front of the office. They never stormed into the building or burned it.”

Frustrating seeing how this is framed and responses from posters too lazy to read the article let alone click on the links. This is about VIOLENT nihilistic extremism: horrible fascistic/accelerationist cults that groom teenagers to horrific acts. Google these groups. They’re not funny philosophers.

Joe Kent, the new head of the US Counterterrorism Centre, is a far right activist and conspiracy theorist who thinks that BLM is a terror threat and vaccinators need bringing to justice.

(Screenshot sources in alt text but most comprehensive is this: apnews.com/article/2022... by Brian Slodysko)
HuffPo 2025: A former CIA paramilitary officer and twice-failed congressional candidate backed by Trump, Kent has regularly aligned himself with far-right extremists. He talked to white nationalist Nick Fuentes about helping him with his social media strategy, gave an interview to a Nazi sympathizer, downplayed the extremism of the neofascist Proud Boys and grouped the Black Lives Matter racial justice movement with "child trafficking rings and cartels," saying they should all face "federal terrorism charges." Kent has also pushed dangerous conspiracies, like the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection being a "deep state" plot and the Secret Service being "in on" last year's assassination attempt against Trump. Independent 2022: Trump-backed Joe Kent accused of spreading conspiracy theories by calling Covid vaccine ‘experimental gene therapy’ AP 2022: Campaign finance disclosures reveal Kent recently paid $11,375 for "consulting" over the past four months to Graham Jorgensen, who was identified as a Proud Boy in a law enforcement report and was charged with cyber stalking his ex-girlfriend in 2018. The charges were dismissed in late 2019. But a judge in Vancouver, Washington, issued an order of protection requiring Jorgensen to stay away from her, records show. AP 2022: Kent is also a close political ally of Joey Gibson, the founder of the Christian nationalist group Patriot Prayer. Since establishing the group in 2016, Gibson has organized demonstrations in Portland, as well as the city's Washington state suburbs, where he and his followers have clashed with left-wing groups. Many of the demonstrations were coordinated with the Proud Boys.

In 1992, BN said Iran would have nukes in “3-5 years”. In 1995, he said Iran would have nukes in “3-5 years”. In 2009, he said “1-2 years”. In 2012 he said “next summer”. So I’m not saying the threat is hallucinated but simply that it’s not as present as we’ve been repeatedly told.

There’s a zero percent chance any of the Trump fans claiming the shooter is “far left” (and, according to Twitter, attacked these Dems for not being pro-migrant enough) will apologise when it is becomes clear he was a conservative

New fascist grift: Nick Tenconi (UKIP’s bearded poundshop führer) has been over to Calais to harass migrants there, supported by the ex-BNP thugs of “Patriots of Britain”, and is now crowd-funding to “stop the boats” through “direct action”. Apparently just £50K will save this island nation.
