Combat sport clubs have been used to boost recruitment for a white nationalist hate group, according to a report released by the legal advocacy organization Southern Poverty Law Center. The report tracks the efforts of the Patriot Front — one of the most visible groups in the white nationalist movement, formed following the deadly 'Unite the Right' rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 — and their focus on recruiting new members through Active Clubs.

Comments:

So many questions about this short article. It seems like it was written to try to convince people that Patriot Front is not a bunch of loser feds running entrapment actions.

RE: 'the deadly 'Unite the Right' rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017', I have been in a car trying to leave an area when a football game let out. Stadium held 100,000, and I was on one of the main streets leading away from the area. People sat on my car and surrounded it. The car was weighed down enough for the wheels to rub on the wheel wells. It was frightening. But the deal is that the people in my experience were friendly. Their team had won. I can't imaging what it was like for a person on the right to be similarly surrounded by lefties screaming violence. The driver hit the gas to get out of there. Who wouldn't. That was the only deadly part. Understandable. But not an indictment.

One wonders why 'white supremes' groups are hate groups but BLM is A Ok. And the Southern Poverty League would label the General Lee Sports Car Club as a white supremacist group. Anything with Dixie in the title is a white4 supremeist group. The Hatfield and McCoy clans of course are white supremacist groups. Daughters of the Confederacy are a white supremeist group. RFemewber the Alamo re-enactors are a white supremacist group. The SPL is so full of itself that they can name anything a white supremacist group will ignoring other truly racist groups. I hope the DOJ looks into the SPL and turns that rock over.

Thank you OP. Patriot Front is an entirely federal government operation. They are laughable. CBS must have been paid a lot to run this pointless article. I see the president has not cleaned out ALL the rot yet.

I've been on this planet for 64 years. I've lived in PA, IL, NY, GA, FL, CA and Sicily. In my 64 years, I have not met a single member of a white supremacy group. The last time that I remember talk of the KKK was 40 years ago. And those were just stories. But according to the left, there is a white supremacist behind every tree. Their hatred is so pervasive that the only examples of their hatred are hoaxes perpetrated by left wing people of color. No one with a functional brain believes this claptrap anymore.

The KKK was infiltrated by the FBI decades ago. Now if there are any left, they're just silly old men playing dress up. I never heard of any white supremacist group. What would they do? It looks like the democrats are sitting up at night making up ways to try to start an actual civil war. Now that DEI is on it's death bed, they see the loss of a gravy chain and money. In Baton Rouge, decades ago, there was a busing order which drove little children over an hour to schools way out of their district then the little ones had to ride over an hour to get back home. One judge refused to end that order. One man held Baton Rouge hostage for 50 years. When did he finally end the order - when he retired. So money is a big factor in all of this.

The SPLC is itself a racist communist front organization that sows unrest, suspicion and hate. It is a leftist entity and, as such, a bedfellow with the current Democratic Party. The Confederacy; The Lost Cause narrative; the KKK; Jim Crow; the lynchings of blacks, Jews and Republicans; segregation; DEI; separate but equal policies; the welfare state; Japanese, German and Italian internment in WWII; the Trail of Tears; broken treaties with indigenous tribes, etc. were all actions and policies born within the Democrat Party. Perhaps we will learn of other abuses such as J6, the outbreak of COVID in time for the 2020 campaign and the theft of the 2020 election James Carville recently said that the purpose of the Democratic party is to win elections. Not to govern competently or to faithfully carry out the Constitution but simply to win. Divide and conquer. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a leftist-sanctioned hate group. The “Patriot Front” is a group of feds that exist so that the SPLC can say, “See? We told they were white supremecists!” It’s all theater for the extremely gullible.

A Leftist 'fake news' outfit publishes an article regarding a 'report' issued by a Leftist Racist hate group. I am reminded of a quote by Booker T. Washington, who was born a slave, then rose to become the founder of the Tuskeegee Institute - now Tuskeegee University: "There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." Booker T. Washington

By the way....the Charlottesville kid was being chased by JBGC/Antifa carrying Ak's ,crossbows and machetes...they had set up several blocks from the actual demonstration where coincidentally he had parked his car to keep it well away from the demonstration area. They BRAGGED about it online, posting pictures of themselves in red/black, masks, keffiah, carrying guns and weapons...bragged about chasing him and scaring the life out of him...right up the road to where he hit that woman. The "Leader" was/is a community college professor, and the members are primarily his students. H too them to demonstrations all across the country...he was eventually arrested for "Brandishing" he climbed on top of some random persons car stuck in traffic, waving an AK around and calling for violence. Was immediately released with low/no bail posted.

CBS should do some "snoop'n roun" to find out how many "hate groups" exist in America these days. Especially after the mass importation under Democrat Presidents of radical Islamic terrorists and Narco/Communist terrorists from hellholes to our south. There are also Black Separatists still active since the 1960's who openly call for eradication of white people in order for them to take control of 4 Southern States and set it up as for "blacks only" paradise.

#10 is correct about the Klan. I am a lifelong resident of the South and the last time I saw a Klan member in regalia was over 40 years ago. No full masks. That's been against the law in Georgia for years. That "rally" they had on the courthouse lawn when I last saw them, there must have been only a dozen or so. Never heard of any violence. Just some old losers in white robes. Now the violence seems mostly perpetrated by a certain demographic but it looks like the illegals want to catch up to that group.We had five Hispanics shot to death in a drug deal some 15 miles from my home last September. Five! and never saw one bit of coverage in the MSM. Just local news.

See BS, one can stop reading right there. Non whites push this philosophy primarily to maintain proper victimhood status and lawyers push it to make money. I am glad that I'm white, therefore I must be a member of a white supremacist group. Funny, I don't feel evil inside and I don't feel guilty.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday gave the Trump administration the green light to revoke special legal protections for thousands of Venezuelan immigrants, which could pave the way for them to be deported. The high court granted an emergency application filed by the administration, meaning officials can move forward with reversing a decision made at the tail end of the Biden administration to extend protections for more than 300,000 Venezuelans under the federal Temporary Protected Status program. The brief order noted that liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the application. Litigation will now continue in lower courts.

Dr. Samadi not only agreed with Dr. Ezekiel that it likely wasn't just discovered, but said the comment in Biden's cancer statement, about it being "hormone sensitive," proves the diagnosis can't be new.

The leaders of Canada, Britain, and France warned Israel that they will take “concrete actions” if it does not pause a military offensive in Gaza and lift restrictions on humanitarian aid into the territory. The Israeli military began a series of air strikes against what it said were Hamas targets on Friday, ahead of the launch of “Gideon’s Chariots,” a new ground offensive which is aimed at gaining “operational control” of the northern and southern parts of the Gaza Strip. The joint statement, released by the British government on Monday, said, “We strongly oppose the expansion of Israel’s military operations in Gaza.
