CROH would like to introduce you to Michael Shelton of Catasauqua, PA. In '21, Shelton was a member of both the Oath Keepers & Three Percenters, according to emails leaked by #ddosecrets. Shelton was a contractor with the DHS from 2015 to 2020, when the ID he sent expired.

*This is a joke to be clear. Not making an actual assertions.

@jocularwilliam @ndjay1 Antisemitism is a tool of the ruling class to confuse the working class about who and what is responsible for their collective disempowerment and suffering.

Nothing about that is pro-black, pro-worker, anything. It just muddies the waters with useless conspiracy.

[Daniel Baryon @AnarkYouTube]

The state knows that if it loses the fight for Cop City it will embolden a national and possibly international anti-police movement. They know the importance of the battle and they are employing state terror to intimidate all organizations and individuals who support it.

[Aric Toler @AricToler]

Randi Nord spray painted a swastika on a synagogue and wrote "AZOV", trying to blame Ukraine. Since then, MintPress has removed the bylines from her articles, her author page has been removed from her own site, and Max Blumenthal deleted an old tweet where he shouted her out.

[CROH Lehigh Valley @crohlv]

Mintpress, counterpunch, all these Russian state rags spread conspiracies day in & day out about psyops and “intel agency cutouts.”

Now one of their crank contributors is arrested literally engaging in an antisemitic false flag op to support their own conspiracies.

Wild shit.

[Bad Baltic Takes @BadBalticTakes]

Mintpress News. A story in 4 parts.

- Russia’s invasion is just Western propaganda
- The war was inevitable because Baltics joined NATO
- Mintpress News writer caught doing anti-Semitic graffiti
- Turns out it was a propaganda campaign to vilify Ukrainians & justify Russia’s war

[Oz Katerji @OzKaterji]

It really shouldn’t be lost on anyone that MintPress News, a website known mostly for denying the existence of antisemitism and for whitewashing Assad’s chemical weapons attacks, had one of its staff writers arrested for spray painting swastikas on a synagogue yesterday.

[Sophie Fullerton @florida_sophia]

What do all these accounts have in common besides subscribing to Twitter Blue?

Each one of these accounts has justified Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and denied Assad’s use of chemical weapons.

This is what the legitimatization of atrocity denialism looks like.

"there is a genocide being organized against trans people"

"everyone must fall in line with standing around and shouting, disperse when told, never ever agitate or escalate"

please tell me how it's possible to hold both of these beliefs at the same time.

[Alana McLaughlin🏳️‍⚧️ @AlanaFeral]

Real talk about guns:

I hate them. In a perfect world I wouldn't have them. But there is an entire political movement dedicated to the extermination of people like me, and they will never be disarmed.

So I have guns.

@gwensnyderPHL If you’re actually looking for suggestions — go for opaque, stackable 5-7 gallon containers, BPA free. Bonus points for the option to add a spigot. Aquamira droplets for long term storage.

Proud Boys sedition trial update: On Jan. 6 at 7:52pm defendant Zach Rehl texted his mom.

Mom: You ok sweetheart?
Rehl: I’m ok!...Seems like our raid of the Capitol set off a chain reaction of events throughout the country. I’m so f*cking proud.

[Make the Road PA🦋 @MakeTheRoadPA]

🚨HAPPENING NOW: Our organizers, activists and other allies demand @LVHN NOT deport a comatose mother of two.

📢We demand they;
commit in writing to remove the threat of deportation for S.C.,

[CROH Lehigh Valley @crohlv]

@AnarchoCorvidae It’s really wild how several of these people are literally on the Russian state payroll. Like you don’t even have to be good at journalism, you don’t need quality production. Just put yourself in front of an iPhone & shamelessly lie, and Russia will pay you to be a propagandist.

[CROH Lehigh Valley @crohlv]

And do these arguments sound similar? Arguing that it’s cool to team up with Nazis on organizing. Organizers and speakers that either don’t believe in the Covid pandemic and/or don’t even support M4A in the first place.

It’s the exact same trash as RATWM.

[CROH Lehigh Valley @crohlv]

Glad to see everybody but the dipshit left & “patriotic socialist” reactionaries condemning the pro-war #RATWM rally in DC today.

Reminder that the M4M4ALL marches were also bullshit & influenced by the same Peoples Party & podcast grifters as RATWM.

We've been looking into the March for Medicare for All & the more we dig, the more issues we discover. Below is a thread of our prelim. findings relating to #M4M4ALL. Follow the link in our bio to read our open letter. A more thorough article incoming in the next week or so. /1

Among the shared speakers is Craig of “The Convo Couch.” Who recently said that Trump is the best candidate for 2024 because he’s the most anti-Ukraine. His co-host, Fiorella Isabel, recently accepted a job working for RT International in Moscow.
