Ben—not his real name as he wishes to remain anonymous a little longer—is a tall, 30-something man with a reddish-blonde beard and pale skin. He’s easy to spot in a crowd. It doesn’t hurt that he always wears the same shirt to rallies: a red tee emblazoned with the Marvel Comics anti-hero, Deadpool.

Turns out having every single member of your hate group constantly livestreaming/recording to beg for money on the internet isn't great opsec.

Another person he includes in the “grifter” category: Andy Ngo, a conservative writer who’s built a Twitter persona around filming fights between antifa and right-wing extremists (that, and trying to convince people that hate crime allegations raised by LGBTQ+ Portlanders are simply “hoaxes”).

Ngo tags along with Patriot Prayer during demonstrations, hoping to catch footage of an altercation. Ben says Ngo doesn’t film Patriot Prayer protesters discussing strategies or motives. He only turns his camera on when members of antifa enter the scene.

“There’s an understanding,” he says, “that Patriot Prayer protects him and he protects them.”

quote:

Ben captures someone telling a person on speakerphone, "There's going to be a huge fight," and gives them directions to Cider Riot.

Ngo doesn’t film any of the conversations, and smiles when the group cracks jokes.

“He overheard everything,” Ben recalls, “and said nothing.”

It was Ben’s video that helped Portland Police Bureau (PPB) confidently secure arrest warrants against Gibson and five other members of Patriot Prayer who followed him to Cider Riot that afternoon.

lol a bunch of them are getting sent to jail because of some unchecked dude walking around filming everything with his phone and they can't stop it from happening again because they're all lazy little youtube divas trying to get a patreon going for being the most racist and the only thing that'd start an uprising faster than telling them to stop being violent Nazis is to tell them to stop streaming.

“’I’m mostly here so that I can text people in case any of the fash [shorthand for fascists] attempt to go to where the counter-protesters are,” Ben told his Facebook Live viewers that afternoon from the overpass. “And I’m getting who’s present so I can pass that information on to other people.”

Ben livestreams all far-right protests he attends on Facebook, allowing the public to follow along and ask questions. Occasionally he steps away from the crowd to let his viewers in on his secret: That he’s an anti-fascist embedded with the opposition.

this seems like a stupid idea, but it worked, so

it'd be stupid with any leftist org because it's a matter of life and death for them to have good opsec

the right is 100% astroturfed and is made up of self-styled Randian ubermenchen so not only do they not think about it in the first place, if they did they'd still allow it because if their movement stopped offering grifters a means to monetize it, it would fall apart

This such a hilarious contrast to me. Police and FBI infiltration has been so common on the left for decades that we are all constantly on guard for cops. Meanwhile it looks like the altright has no immune system at all for this sort of thing and some rando dude easily ruined their poo poo.
