The South’s rattlin’ again and the Right is no longer conservative.

“We treat the Abolitionists and Socialists as identical, because they are notoriously the same people, employing the same arguments and bent on the same schemes. Abolition is the first step in Socialism… Abolition is Socialism in its infancy.” - George Fitzhugh

The Patriot Front has gone through a metamorphosis over the years, with at least three instars. Originally, the PF was a grassroots right-wing gang of crazy hillbillies along that traditional battleground of racial tension, the Mason-Dixon line. Then it was infiltrated by the Feds. Then "new chapters were formed" with basically no contact with the original leadership. Then the Patriot Front marches appeared. When the Louisiana state anti-terrorist task force investigated the Washington DC march (as a potential local threat) they concluded that it was composed entirely of Federal LEO cadets. Note that in those days the uniforms were not merely similar; they were identical, and contained numerous items identifiable as federal LEO standard. Also, that investigation that the trucks the PF arrived in had to be hurriedly replaced, as they were stolen while parked. The BOLO listed the renter as the FBI. My Louisiana senior LEO informant says they are NOT using FBI cadets for these exercises, to preserve plausible deniability. Park ranger cadets, wildlife cadets, and especially "sworn" IRS cadets. After several marches in the original instar, the PF morphed. The "uniforms" became non-uniform. The first "march" in this livery, the local police in Western Maryland, in the turf of the original PF band, magically were at the right place at the right time to catch the Patriot Front on their way to a march, but near an little-used public park that made a good undisturbed staging area. The local police tried, and failed, to prevent this event from being videoed and photographed. The occupants of the rental truck were detained, and all but one of them were unmasked, arrested and brought to trial. The list of the indited matched the original Patriot Front membership list. After this, the trend to similar but not identical uniforms continued, the marching became sloppy, some marchers showed their faces, the marches tended to occur just after ads for crisis actors, and the behavior became more belligerent and undisciplined. I call this this the "SPLC phase". Is the Patriot Front still under Deep State supervision? Is one of the named-as-suspicious high officials in charge? I don't know. But the day-to-day and financing are now, IMHO, in the hands of the SPLC or some similar/linked NGO.
