The U.S. creates a situation, digs in its heels and makes ultimatums—and tens of thousands die. I resigned from the U.S. government in 2003 in opposition to another war-President Bush’s war on Iraq in which followed that war playbook. We’ve seen it in Afghanistan and Iraq and now it may be over Ukraine or Taiwan, and oh yes, let’s not forget multiple missile tests from North Korea, ISIS fighters rioting and escaping from prisons in Syria, the millions in […]

Decades after the end of the Vietnam War, the impact on both Vietnam and the United States is still felt. Yet few Americans are aware that the conflict, which killed several million people, ended in large part thanks to the anti-war movement made up of, among others, 570,000 Americans that refused to be drafted to fight a war that many saw as immoral even then. Among those, 3,250 draft resisters–many of whom considered themselves conscientious […]
Arguably the most difficult facet of prosecuting a serial killer case concerns the issue of insanity, since anyone who commits unspeakable atrocities must, in some respect, be out of his or her mind—and thus potentially innocent of premeditation, or able to know right from wrong. That question was essential in the trial of Dennis Nilsen, a Scottish-born resident of London who, in early 1983, was arrested after human remains were discovered in the drains of the house at 23 Cranley Gardens where he was renting a flat. A subsequent investigation uncovered more human body parts, and once a positive ID of […]
VT likes the ‘Proud Boys.’ First of all, if the right wing money from Bannon and Stone to payoff fake Antifa is going out, why not get in line and take some. This is the real force behind Proud Boys.

Two days after outrightly refusing to disavow white supremacists and right-wing extremism during Tuesday night’s disastrous presidential debate, President Donald Trump finally said he condemned the far-right group Proud Boys, the organization he previously told to “stand back and stand by.” Trump has faced intense backlash, even from some Republicans and conservative pundits, after he seemed to give a wink-and-nod to racist extremists during the debate. Several Republican senators called on the president to walk back his remarks, which the Proud Boys quickly celebrated online by appropriating the president’s comments as a new slogan. Following the debate, the president insisted that […]
US President Donald Trump has denounced the Ku Klux Klan, white nationalists and the Proud Boys – a faction of right-wing provocateurs he was asked to condemn at a recent debate – while goading Joe Biden to do the same for Antifa. “I’ve said it many times, and let me be clear again: I condemn the KKK, I condemn all white supremacists, I condemn the Proud Boys – I don’t know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing, but I condemn that,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday night. But [Biden] should also condemn Antifa. Antifa is a horrible […]
Federal law enforcement officials have refused Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler’s demand to revoke their deputization of city police to help quell violent protests, saying local authorities have failed to deter attacks on officers. “Officers have been repeatedly assaulted with bottles, bats, sledgehammers, lasers, rocks and other weapons of convenience,” US Attorney Billy Williams and US Marshal Russ Burger said Wednesday in a statement. They added that “violent, senseless and criminal acts” have been committed during three months of Black Lives Matter and Antifa protests in Portland, including attempts to burn down public buildings. Rioters have been able to attack police with […]
The truck-revving, banner-waving, loudspeaker-blaring pro-Trump rally took place, conveniently, on Sept. 19, the first Saturday of early voting in the swing state of Virginia, in a parking lot where voters in Democratic-leaning Fairfax County were lined up to cast their ballots. Some Trump supporters drove circles around the voters while others—many without face masks—mingled with the line, chanting and waving flags. “We had a couple poll observers there that had to actually escort voters in because we saw people that would get to the edge of the parking lot, and see this giant group of Trumpers yelling and screaming,” Jack Kiraly, […]
Donald Trump and his Republican allies scrambled on Wednesday to clean up comments the president made during Tuesday’s debate, when he declined to condemn far-right extremist groups like the Proud Boys, and even told them to “stand by.” But the act seemed tricky for Trump, who continued to bristle at the notion that he needed to denounce those who supported his campaign, even if they hailed from the militant far-right. “I don’t know who the Proud Boys are,” the president declared, in what constituted an admission that he was unaware of a group that the FBI has classified as an “extremist” […]
Team Trump had their hands full on Wednesday morning as they were tasked with the unenviable job of cleaning up the president’s outright refusal to disavow white supremacists and far-right extremism. The results were, shall we say… lacking. As Trump campaign spokesman Hogan Gidley was on CNN ridiculously claiming that the president condemned white supremacy three times during Tuesday night’s debate, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro used an MSNBC appearance to blame debate moderator Chris Wallace for telling far-right groups to “stand back and stand by.” MSNBC host Hallie Jackson noted that the president was getting a “lot of headlines” […]
For years, executives at British retailer Fred Perry have tried to distance themselves from the Neo-fascists who love their clothes. Now, the brand has pulled one of the most recognizable Proud Boys uniforms from American stores. The same week that hundreds of Proud Boys marched in Portland, Fred Perry released a statement on its website announcing that the black and yellow-tipped polo shirt appropriated by members of the far-right hate group will not be sold in the United States or Canada “until we’re satisfied that its association with the Proud Boys has ended.” (The shirt has not been sold in this […]
PORTLAND—After about 500 members of the right-wing Proud Boys gathered in Portland on Saturday, it didn’t take long for police to announce the first bout of violence: an assault on a man of color who was livestreaming the demonstration. The attack was caught on video, which showed a man shoving the livestreamer down and kicking him in the face. It was not immediately clear what preceded the assault. Police took to Twitter to ask any witnesses to come forward. The incident came after the Proud Boys, who organized the demonstration in Delta Park, repeatedly stoked fears about anti-fascist activists, commonly known […]

Earlier, the Park & Recreation Bureau denied the group permission to hold the rally at Delta Park because it would have breached safety measures in place because of the coronavirus pandemic, though the group has decided to gather at […]
Under the governor’s orders, law enforcement officers will reportedly have access to tear gas, despite the substance’s use by cops previously being banned by Portland Mayor ed Wheeler, who also serves as city police chief. Governor of Oregon Kate Brown has ended up declaring a state of emergency in the city of Portland on Friday, ahead of a rally held by a right-wing group known as the Proud Boys, Fox News reports. According to the media outlet, this decision was made as members of the Proud Boys plan to gather at a downtown park Saturday, “potentially setting the stage for confrontations […]
A crowd estimated to be thousands strong gathered outside the infamous ‘Jersey Shore’ house, following the arrival of YouTube stars the Nelk Boys. Police had to call for reinforcements from nearby towns to control the masses. Outdoor gatherings in New Jersey cannot exceed 500 people under current coronavirus rules, and social distancing must be practiced. Judging by the hordes of adoring fans who gathered in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, on Monday night, Covid-19 was the last thing on anyone’s mind. So shit is BANANAS in Seaside Heights right now—some loser youtubers r staying in the Jersey Shore House and this is […]
A Proud Boys member was struck and seriously injured by a pickup truck, allegedly driven by an Antifa activist who had targeted him, after attending a memorial for the pro-Trump demonstrator who was killed last week in Portland. Shane Moon was reportedly hit by the truck Saturday in a parking lot in Vancouver, Washington, where members of the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer conservative activist groups held an event to honor Aaron “Jay” Danielson, who was shot and killed by an Antifa supporter on Aug. 29 in Portland. Also on rt.com Portland Antifa shooter appeared to TARGET and follow conservative demonstrator […]
VENICE—During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, the island of Sardinia largely escaped any serious outbreaks. The tourist season was over and the islanders kept to themselves. When the lockdown ended in mid May, local health officials wanted to test everyone who came to the island to keep it COVID-free. That plan was largely shot down by elite mainlanders like Silvio Berlusconi, who wanted to spend the summer at his lavish villa, once best known for bunga bunga parties and the nude former Czech prime minister’s untimely erection caught on a paparazzo’s long-lens camera. The idea of any restrictions […]
It appears as though the rioters in Portland have revealed Plan Number 2, as they’ve resorted to throwing balloons filled with feces at police, along with other objects including golf balls and rail spikes. They even used a torn out street sign to smash the windows of several police SUV’s. The rioters also targeted the Boys And Girls Club, sponsored by the Portland Trailblazers NBA team. Ironically, this club is located in what is a traditional black neighborhood. Perhaps if the rioters smash up enough black youth clubs, then racial injustice will end. Not sure whose job it was to make […]
Portland police have explained why it chose not to intervene in violent clashes between heavily armed right and left-wing groups, insisting they “willingly” engaged in physical interactions which “quickly resolved themselves.” Responding to criticism and questions about “why the events downtown were not declared a riot,” Portland police said the officers were heavily outnumbered and lacked crowd control resources to address such a massive gathering. Earlier on Saturday, hundreds of people belonging to multiple rival groups with “various ideologies” descended on Downtown Portland, while the police had only “roughly 30 officers available for crowd management.” As the groups clashed, police remained on […]

According to the feds, Zacharias was taken into custody without incident at his residence. Court filings describe how Zacharias preyed on two vulnerable boys […]
Members of the right-wing group Proud Boys were met with angry counter demos at a march in Michigan, with the clashes between the two sides growing so heated that riot police stepped in to clear the area. Videos from the event show a large group of Proud Boys marching in Kalamazoo on Saturday, most holding American flags and being confronted by counter-protesters who tried to break up the march. As the two groups start mixing, several fistfights and pushing matches can be seen breaking out. The Proud Boys marchers were chanting “four more years” in support of President Trump right before […]

Facebook has banned dozens of pages allegedly linked to ex-Trump adviser and Republican operative Roger Stone, as well as Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, in its relentless battle against political ‘misinformation networks’. The 100-account network said to be linked to Stone, a Florida resident, was discovered in the course of an investigation into the right-wing group Proud Boys, banned from Facebook years ago, the social media behemoth revealed on Wednesday in a blog post. Some 54 accounts, 54 pages, and four Instagram accounts were removed in the purge. According to Facebook, the deleted accounts were followed by upwards of 320,000 people and […]
I was on my path very young, 5-and-a-half going on 6, watching The Ed Sullivan Show, essential Sunday viewing for all American families. He would always have “something for the youngsters” at the end, and on this episode, out came Elvis Presley doing “Don’t Be Cruel.” My eldest sister by 9 years started screaming. I stared at her and wondered, why? Then I turned and watched the performance. I was drawn in, totally. Then, the light-bulb moment: I am going to do that. That pivotal moment has stayed with me my entire life. Funny thing is, it never occurred to me that I was […]

After a week of lusting for conflict in a six-block activist zone in Seattle, far-right figures went and made their own trouble. Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone—or CHAZ, although some newer stylings refer to it as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP—is a small protest area that emerged last week, after police vacated a nearby precinct and city leaders agreed to leave the streets open for Black Lives Matter demonstrations. Almost immediately, figures on the right looked for evidence that the loosely organized protest area was a den of violence and criminality, with President Donald Trump tweeting threats to send […]
In 1986, Ricky Powell was selling Frozade lemon ices on the streets of New York City, he never imagined he’d become a legendary hip-hop photographer. But that year, Powell ditched the cart and joined opening act the Beastie Boys on Run DMC’s “Raising Hell” tour across America. He eventually became the Beastie Boys’ photographer of choice, capturing the trio (Adam Horovitz, Adam Yauch and Mike Diamond) on the “Licensed to Ill” and “Check Your Head” tours, and even earned a shout-out on the track “Car Thief” off Paul’s Boutique: “Homeboy throw in the towel / Your girl got dicked by Ricky […]
The early draft of the Republican police reform bill that has been leaked to the media seems in tune with mainstream Democrat proposals, while falling short of ‘defund the police’ demands of Black Lives Matter. The two-page document on the letterhead of Senator Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) was published by CNN on Tuesday. Scott is the only black Republican in the Senate, and was entrusted with drafting the police reform proposal by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) earlier this week. The Just and Unifying Solutions to Invigorate Communities (JUSTICE) Act consists of ten sections, ranging from conditioning federal funding on reporting […]
VT is finding an interesting mix and now the proof is flooding in. Demonstrators are carrying printed instructions, the fake demonstrators, the ones with paintball or SWAT gear, the Proud Boys, the DeVos-Prince paid “anti-lockdown” types and the White Supremacists. Behind them, US Army Intelligence School team leaders and Steve Bannon’s “Gladiator School” teams, drenched in MAGA/MEGA money from the Kosher Nostra.
