They are 100% feds, my reasoning is their logo and look: they dress in uniform that looks Nazi but isn't too Nazi.
This shows their marketing was designed by some Talmud who thought, "if I wanted to make a Nazi group that attracts Nazi's without being explicitly Nazi, what kind of logo would I design..."
"OH yeah, it would look like this!"
This is so obviously a fed ploy, just from the marketing perspective, that there's very little else to discuss.
Why not a cross? Why not the regular American flag? Because those are symbols that would appeal to the masses and generate support. Instead we've got Nazi larpers trying to scare the public with their brown shirt marching parades (lol) and trying to hurt support among the right.
Remember, the chews don't actually want to create a group that could win. Instead they need loser groups that they control, which Patriot Front is just yet another iteration of White Nationalist groups that are designed to lose.
As for Thomas Rousseau, he may actually be genuine about his beliefs, but he's not trustworthy at all, I bet you he's funded by some powerful chews. Until he shows the bank statements there's no reason to believe his intentions are good.
The only way to fight the Talmuds is through the only organization with a 2000 year history of resisting and nullifying them, which is the Church, specifically the Orthodox Church which retains its purity. Thus forums such as this one are the best method we have - we protect our identities, and grow the most powerful organization in the world, the one lead by God.
And if we were to ever protest, I would of course encourage everyone to mask up - except with a mask of their choosing, one that is colorful or creative, not one that isolates them from the crowd to be immediately typecasted as a scary Nazi Brownshirt Larper. I'd want a protest that both children and elderly would feel comfortably joining, not one that tries to rip off Schindler's List.
Verdict: Patriot Front is FAKE and GAY, their leaders are either compromised or have no idea what they are doing. Their strategy is absolute garbage, the fact they've gotten so many of their own already arrested is just proof they are designed to lose so the chews can stay in power longer.
All of this garbage is a distraction from the Church, which is the only viable long-term solution.
@Samseau, first off I'd like to say thank you for helping to start this forum and for always being a voice of reason. I may be wrong in my beliefs here, but I will posit a few counterpoints in addition to what I have already said here.
Firstly, I do not think these optics are bad. I do not think most Americans under 30 would think these optics are bad. Young people are removed from the Nazis bad rhetoric that has run the culture for decades. They're not really advertising for older Americans because they have a track record of not caring about the White American race being replaced, and they're not as concerned about the state of the country. That's just a fact, and I mean no offense to older members here, who clearly do not fit that archetype. In fact, I think my generation (millennial) is all around worse in general.
Fascist countries, agree with them or not, espoused beauty and form. PF has a good looking logo. It is pleasant to the eye and immediately shows what sets them apart from other groups, namely the fasces, indicating we are stronger together than as individuals, while still keeping the theme of our flag.
Secondly, just because a group has bad optics (again, in your opinion) does not mean they are Feds. George Lincoln Rockwell ran the American Nazi party and was most definitely not a Fed, he was kicked out of the military for his beliefs, his personal life was ruthlessly attacked, and he was eventually assassinated. Him and his group dressed like actual Nazis, and this was really not that long after World War 2.
I'd say that's pretty darn bad optics but he was absolutely, 100% right that this country would be taken over by Jews and third worlders, while being pillaged through usury and a lack of morals, and there is no evidence he was a "Fed" in the sense we mean with regards to PF.
Thirdly, I agree. Participation in the Church is more important. However, the Church should be speaking out more about current issues, and blessing certain forms of activism. It is not spiritual to sit on the side and just pray for things to happen. At times, like when your broader family is being persecuted and genocided, we need to participate in activism and have some courage and name names and protest. I read a good quote from Saint Paisios about this recently, I'll have to find it, but for another perfect example, look at Saint John of Kronstadt. He supported an organization called "The Black Hundreds" which was a Russian ethnocentric and anti Jewish activist group. Saint John was also an honorary member of the Union of the Russian People, a far right nationalist political party, and blessed their banners. In doing so, he established the Church within that group, keeping them closer to Christ.
The Church should be the one "inflitrating" (so to speak) political organizations. St. Paul wished to appear before
Caligula in order to convert him, so don't tell me we shouldn't wish to convert today's political activist groups. If they are too icky for us Orthodox Christians to touch, then don't be surprised when an actual fascist government comes and sees us as competitors.
Finally, you have no actual evidence that PF is a "fed ploy." It's an insult and an unsubstantiated claim, which is wrong of you to say. You could say "I suspect them to be such," but that's not what you said. Just because their members are being arrested doesn't mean they are doing anything wrong, it shows the bias and tyranny of our own government for arresting people for practicing their constitutional rights.
I'm trying to look up what their members have been arrested or convicted of. I see five in 2023 were convicted of "conspiracy to riot" and sentenced to a few days in prison. What? Patriot Front has never rioted once to my knowledge. They simply peacefully protest. Meanwhile actual rioters for many years in this country get off with absolutely nothing. This is anarcho tyranny, and PF is in the right, clearly. I can't find any other convictions tied to their activism.
In summation, I believe there is a spirit of cowardice that has taken over Americans and the Christian Right in the West, to the point where a group goes to protest against drag queen story hour, bringing equipment (not even firearms from what I saw) for self defense in a country with a right to bear arms and the right to peacefully protest, and then the American Christian right insults those very people who got arrested in an attempt to stop sexual perverts from reading to and parading in front of our children.
