All-Black Militia Leader Speaks Ahead of Sentencing

All-Black Militia Leader Speaks Ahead of Sentencing

by | Nov 8, 2022 | ,

It was an incident in Louisville one night in September 2020 that lasted scarcely eight seconds: all-black militia leader John Johnson exited his vehicle, turned on a flashlight attached to his AR-15 rifle, and scanned a downtown rooftop before walking to a nearby park to peacefully protest the murder of Breonna Taylor. On Wednesday, Johnson is set to be sentenced for this, facing up to 20 years imprisonment for his actions. That’s because, unbeknownst to the former leader of the “Not Fucking Around Coalition” (NFAC), there were law enforcement officers surveilling protestors from the...

Ex-Nazi with OKC Bombing Connection To Receive Taxpayer Funded Sex-Change in Prison

Ex-Nazi with OKC Bombing Connection To Receive Taxpayer Funded Sex-Change in Prison

by | Nov 2, 2022 | ,

Your tax dollars are funding the sex change of an ex neo-Nazi tied to the OKC bombing. Last month, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) disclosed in court records that it’s searching for someone to conduct a sex change on a biological male inmate residing in a women’s correctional facility in Texas. The recipient of this sex change isn’t your typical gender dysphoric inmate, such as they are. The prisoner, Peter Kevin Langan, who now goes by the first name Donna, is the former leader of the domestic terrorist group Aryan Republican Army (ARA), a gang of neo-Nazi bank robbers with ties to the...

Update: Arrest Warrant for Ray Epps Was Issued in 2016

Update: Arrest Warrant for Ray Epps Was Issued in 2016

by | Sep 1, 2022 | ,

Ray Epps might not face charges for trespassing on Capitol Hill grounds and encouraging others to do the same, but he could be wanted for allegedly trespassing on someone’s property in Pennsylvania. The Libertarian Institute initially reported last month on a 2015 trespassing incident involving Epps, the January 6, 2021 Capitol Hill protestor who initially appeared on the FBI’s Capitol Violence Most Wanted list, only to be silently removed. With Epps facing no charges despite videos showing him encouraging others to breach the Capitol, sites such as Revolver News and politicians including...

Subsidizing Hate: The FBI’s Role in Revitalizing the Aryan Nations

Subsidizing Hate: The FBI’s Role in Revitalizing the Aryan Nations

by | Jul 28, 2022 |

When reading the recently released book on racist extremism, “A History of Hate in Ohio,” I was struck by a statistic about the growth of the neo-Nazi group Aryan Nations between the time of the Waco massacre in 1993 and the Oklahoma City bombing two years later. “In 1993 Aryan Nations was present in only three states. As Klanwatch reported in March 1995, Aryan Nations staged an alarming comeback in 1994,” write authors Michael Brooks and Bob Fitrakis. “Aided by money from the Aryan Republican Army [a domestic terrorist group that committed numerous armed robberies], the Idaho-based group...

SCOOP: Ray Epps Silent on 2015 Criminal Citation

by | Jul 19, 2022 | ,

On the heels of speaking to The New York Times about accusations of being an FBI informant who helped incite the January 6 Capitol Hill riot, Arizona man Ray Epps has declined to answer questions about a 2015 criminal trespass citation he received in Pennsylvania—a matter whose resolution is unclear. Speculation that Epps (full name James Ray Epps Sr.) may be a “fed” has circulated ever since Revolver News published a two-part deep dive into him in late 2021. Revolver News questioned why Epps hasn’t been charged in relation to January 6, despite video footage showing him urging protestors to...

From Russia to Ohio…to the Cancer Ward

From Russia to Ohio…to the Cancer Ward

by | Jul 12, 2022 |

Residents of Piketon, Ohio have long suspected that the area’s sky-high cancer rate stems from the nearby Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS), which served as a uranium enrichment facility for nuclear bombs throughout the Cold War. Recent reporting from Local 12 WKRC-TV anchor Duane Pohlman sheds light on why the area’s cancer epidemic—more than 500 cases per 100,000, or about 10 percent above state average, according to the Ohio Cancer Atlas—has persisted decades after PORTS stopped helping Uncle Sam build nukes. Pohlman revealed in May that the PORTS may have been the recipient of...

The Persecution of John Johnson, Leader of America’s Largest Black Militia

The Persecution of John Johnson, Leader of America’s Largest Black Militia

by | Jun 27, 2022 |

John Johnson, leader of America’s largest black militia, currently sits in a Kentucky prison—a victim of grievous injustice perpetrated by the FBI. Readers might recall Johnson, aka Grandmaster Jay, as the leader of the “Not Fucking Around Coalition” (NFAC), an all-black militia that captured headlines in the summer of 2020. NFAC members showed up at protests sporting military gear and rifles that summer, claiming credit for pressuring the government for justice in cases such as the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Apparently, the FBI was frightened by an armed black nationalist militia that doesn’t...

No Warrant, No Problem; How Government Buys Its Way Around the 4th Amendment

No Warrant, No Problem; How Government Buys Its Way Around the 4th Amendment

by | Feb 24, 2021 |

When the Supreme Court ruled in 2018 that law enforcement agencies need warrants before they can request geolocation data from cell phone companies, civil liberties advocates touted the judgment as a major win for privacy. But since then, government agencies have devised a new surveillance method: instead of getting warrants to force companies to provide data, they simply purchase the information from brokers. Call it entrepreneurial innovation in the market for tyranny. The scope of this activity has been slowly revealed over the last year, beginning with a February 2020 Wall Street Journal...
