Meet Michael Wright, the neo-nazi blogger, podcaster, and all-around right-wing "influencer" widely known as "Morgoth," whose influencees have included racist mass murderer Dylann Roof and members of banned UK-based terror group National Action. He's a piece of shit who likes to quote from 'Mein Kampf', still advocates for violence against his political adversaries, and believes all the things that Nazis have always believed.

This article warrants a content warning, just because it inevitably quotes the person in question as evidence. So be aware: there's some very nasty racist, antisemitic, and violent commentary quoted here.

Joe Kent, a former Green Beret who is Donald Trump’s pick to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, completed 11 combat deployments during the War on Terror. The combat left scars. In 2019, an ISIS suicide bomber killed his wife, a Navy cryptologist and linguist, in Syria. By the time he returned home, his worldview had shifted: Kent came to believe, as I wrote in a 2022 profile, that his early tours in Iraq gave him a “special gift of clarity.” He understood how quickly a society could come undone.

After this, Kent went from apolitical to active. The Black Lives Matter and antifa protests in Portland during the summer of 2020 triggered fears for him that the United States could similarly implode. Everything, he felt, was crumbling. He and his two young boys quickly left the city for rural Washington.

“We need to treat antifa and BLM like terrorist organizations. We need to use the tools of the federal government, the FBI, the US Marshals—go after them like organized criminals and terrorists,” Kent said in a 2021 conversation with the podcaster Tim Pool about the group’s leaders. “So, when we start arresting these guys and charging them with federal terrorism charges, that’s going to take away a lot of the incentive to go out and riot.”

Despite some platforms rolling back their moderation policies, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube appear to have continued to maintain policies barring hateful and bigoted rhetoric. Spotify, for example, prohibits “dehumanizing statements about a person or group” based on several factors including race, religion, gender identity or expression, and sexual orientation. Spotify also bans rhetoric that promotes hate groups and their associated images. Apple Podcasts and YouTube have similar policies.

Hatewatch sent the platforms a detailed set of questions, which included examples of antisemitic and bigoted content Shields has produced.

A YouTube spokesperson responded via email, writing, “Upon review, the videos shared do not violate our Community Guidelines.” Asked about their policies regarding terminated users appearing on channels hosted by other creators, the spokesperson told Hatewatch that creators are “prohibited from letting others whose YouTube channels have been terminated use their YouTube channel to bypass termination.” While YouTube confirmed that many of the people who appear on Shields’ channel — Fuentes, Rousseau, Duke, Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys, and others — are “terminated users,” the spokesperson also said that “Terminated users may appear on YouTube in other contexts, such as interviews.”

Hatewatch reached out to Spotify several times on its media contact web page but did not receive a response. Hatewatch contacted Apple Podcasts, and a representative indicated that they would be available for a phone call, but they never responded to multiple follow-up emails.

At the Tesla “gigafactory” in Grünheide outside Berlin, a number of workers who have gotten sick and provided doctors’ notes explaining their absence from work have received letters telling they have to name exactly what is ailing them and waive doctor-patient confidentiality or they won’t get paid at all. Some of them have been paid “by accident” and told they have to give the money back.

The union IG-Metall says Tesla workers require legal representation 21x more often than average throughout the union nationwide.

The audience response probably was political in part. Patrons expressed dismay over #Trump’s abrupt changes to the #KennedyCenter board & staff in recent weeks, & concern over how this new leadership, w/Trump himself as chair, might further affect programming. But this late on a Thurs, folks were also annoyed. “Thanks for being on time!” one woman shouted.

Más allá del chamullo de Adorni para disfrazar las cosas, lo cierto es que en este viaje de Milei & Co a tierras yanquis sólo pueden contarse como eventos realmente “de Estado” la reunión con Georgieva-Gopitha y Benga [líderes del FMI y el Banco Mundial]. Citas para las que, de todos modos, no hacía falta que viajara el Presidente, su secretaria, su vocero y su “asesor”. Bien podrían arreglárselas solos el ministro de Economía y su “gran equipo” (al decir de Milei). Además, por estas horas y aún para los usureros del mundo, Toto aparenta ser más confiable que Javo.

Y pese a la verborragia “anticasta” con la que se quiere presentar a un gobierno que “no gasta más de lo necesario” y recorta todo tipo de erogación superflua, de lo que nunca habla el Gobierno ultraderechista es del enorme costo que tienen los viajes de la comitiva mileísta para visitar a sus amigos y socios del “club”. Es que la estafa de La Libertad Avanza es en toda la línea.

Milei no sólo te invita a apostar en virtuales “casinos” fraudulentos, vendiendo memecoins como si fueran “inversiones para emprendedores”. Comprando votos y voluntades en el Congreso, también logra evitar que lo investiguen y vender toneladas de “humo” para intentar hacer pasar su plan de guerra contra el pueblo trabajador. Ensobrando animadores mediáticos, también intenta “domar” a la verdad con relatos insostenibles. Y escondiéndose detrás de supuestos “viajes oficiales”, se aleja del país para que le soben el lomo en el único “club en el que es admitido”.

Cuando el domingo a la mañana el avión con la comitiva aterrice en tierras argentinas, posiblemente Milei repita la frase: “Todo salió como lo pensamos”. A la luz de los hechos, ya sabemos bien lo que piensan.

Marc de Cacqueray-Valmenier, former leader of the French neo-Nazi group les Zouaves Paris, was just sentenced for attacking members of SOS Racisme in December 2021 outside an event held by Éric Zemmour, who had just declared his candidacy in the presidential race and was launching his new far-right party Reconquête.

The sentence amounts to 18 months: 9 at home under house arrest and 9 on probation.

Cacqueray-Valmenier was previously convicted in 2019 for attacking people involved in the Yellow Vest demonstrations.

Les Zouaves Paris were banned in Jan. 2022 on account of their violence, incitement to violence, overt racism, and use of Nazi iconography.

Here's an article with more details on Augustus Invictus' sentencing. Yesterday I left out an important detail from Emily Gorcenski's initial post: most of his five-year sentence is suspended, and he's only slated to spend 9.5 months in jail. He has, of course, already said he'd appeal (in his usual grandstanding style, he's promising to take it to the Supreme Court), but it sounds like he doesn't have much of a case (he's actually a lawyer, but he's also a violent kook, go figure).
