Extremists believed to be cosplaying as feds have been spotted across New York, asking one question online: “Why?”
Originally founded in 2017 as an alleged offshoot of Vanguard America, the “white nationalist and neo-fascist hate group” Patriot Front resurfaced in 2022, conveniently before President Joe Biden's divisive speech outside Independence Hall leading up to the election half term
Now, as the Republican primaries are officially underway and former President Donald Trump is expected to clinch his third nomination as the Republican nominee, khaki pants and quarter-zip “patriots” were seen in Manhattan on Saturday .
Seen marching with banners and waving signs near the World Trade Center, outside the National Museum of the American Indian and even on the subway, hardly anyone could take the dozens of protesters seriously amid the glaring lack of corporate media coverage.
#BREAKING: A group called the Patriot Front is currently marching on the World Trade Center
Currently, approximately 90-150 people identified as the “Patriot Front” and recognized as a right-wing organization are moving towards 9/11… pic.twitter.com/aTiFZtNqdV

Sharing one of the videos that featured masked, self-identified nationalists waving signs that read “America is not for sale” and “No Zionists in Government,” syndicated radio host Jesse Kelly commented: “The story isn't that these are feds. . Everybody knows that. The story is, as it often is, why? Why would the feds do an operation like this? Ask yourself that question. You're not going to like the answers.”
The story is not that these are federal. Everyone already knows this.

Similarly, other accounts, including Wall Street Silver, shared a video that included the group traveling on the train as if going to a flash mob and criticized: “If Patriot Front was really an organic white supremacist group, the media it would be all of them. on this story to expose all the members and ruin their lives. The fact that this is NOT happening confirms that they are feds.”

Others had conflicting views on the group's intent, with some suggesting their aim was to sow concerns about a perceived threat from far-right extremism (whereas far-left extremists are labeled as mostly peaceful while burning cities across America) and others discussed. the intent was an ill-conceived effort by an armed federal government to incite susceptible Americans to cause an incident similar to the violation of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 in Washington, DC.

OPINION: Federal agents and assets are trying to recruit disgruntled whites in New York today. The FBI's Patriot Front is a honeypot designed to trap patriots who oppose the Biden regime. Don't fall for this. pic.twitter.com/DSjXrW2Vwc

While the racetracks on the payroll of the heavily represented corporate media networks in the Big Apple remained relatively muted on the subject, the world's richest man had taken notice.
Elon Musk had reacted to one of the videos of the group leaving, asking: “It looks like they should be followed and unmasked. Why doesn't the media or the government care about their identity?
Reacting with a video showing a Thomas Ryan Rousseau, believed to be the founder of the group, claiming not to be a fed and arguing that if they worked for the government they would be “setting up acts of terrorism, which is what the FBI does.” asked Ed Krassenstein, “can we all just admit they're not federal now?”
The billionaire responded, seemingly unsold: “This is useful to know. We must consider any given event to have several possible explanations, with probabilities proportional to the evidence and updated as new evidence emerges. What is his stated agenda? ?”

What is your stated agenda?

Still others maintained absolute certainty about the group with comments such as: “The feds will feed. Groundhog Day.”

Let's be honest and call them the Front Line FBI Instagators.

Why do the police always listen to them while they “work to maintain a separation” from the non-existent counter-protesters?
