The fact this guy was on the record for such heinous crimes, yet got such a generous deal from the government, virtually guarantees he is some sort of CIA informant or COINTELPRO-type agent.
Make sure to verify your information sources!
i dug as much as i could about this guy years ago. wish i had saved everything i found.
my best summary is he’s an idiosyncratic anarchist grifter. politically he’s mentioned mutualism in his old articles so i guess that might be his ideology, although he also mentioned convincing anarcho-capitalists to become mutualists so it’s possible he just tries to pull rightwing anarchists to the left at these vegas conventions he used to go to.
in the past he was probably more like an ancap or far right anarchist. this is when he did all the nasty evil shit. i don’t believe that he was ever a merc. i do believe he knows some unsavory people who may be PMC types. instead he just did the human trafficking thing by smuggling people in from eastern europe and then yanking their passports. whether he was just a peon in this organization or leadership i don’t know. either way he went down for it and did time.
he’s a felon and found a way to make money since he’s unemployable. the grift is how he basically just makes videos for libs with a sprinkling of anarcho-liberalism. i don’t think he’s an informant only because he doesn’t act untouchable as they tend to be. he has never been seen on video with a real firearm because it would probably guarantee him a 15 year prison stint.
i pieced this together from some old articles written about him, his criminal history, looking up his criminal history and reading stuff off his old website.
assume everything i wrote is possibly wrong or incorrect some of it is from hunches because i was deeply, deeply suspicious of him. whether he’s turned over a new leaf or not i don’t know.
The video clarifies these points quite well. He was the one in charge of the entire trafficking operation, and actually set up another shell company to skim off even more of the trafficked profits for his own benefit without telling his partners in crime.
His trafficking is so egregious and well-proven that human rights organizations in Florida use it as an educational scenario. The fact that he got off so lightly (only getting fined a couple hundred and less than 3 years in prison) for trafficking + enslaving ~100 individuals virtually guarantees that he made some backroom deal to get off scot-free.
I would not trust a single idea he espouses. He seems to currently serve a role for the US government of leading viewers who are starting to get radicalized back to the liberal establishment. He may be trying to build a “leftist” background so he can sneak into some more important orgs later like CPUSA.
Good call. I watched his videos a few years ago. And he made a few good points but always went back to liberal bullshit. So i was unable to take him seriously.
Huh. I didn’t watch him because he seemed to be hamming up a hayseed persona for I don’t know or care who—not me, anyway.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
