Theatrical march part of an effort to create perception there is an increase in antisemitism.
On Independence Day, around four hundred masked “white nationalists” from the Patriot Front marched in DC. “Dressed in khakis, white face coverings, sunglasses, and caps bearing the logo of white supremacist group Patriot Front, the members were seen gathering near Union Station and marching through Capitol Hill,” The Hill reported. It is said the group emerged after the 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally when it broke away from Vanguard America, described as a neo-fascist organization.
“With chapters around the country, Patriot Front continues to be the most visible white supremacist group operating in the U.S. today,” according to the ADL. “Since 2019, the group has been responsible for the vast majority of white supremacist propaganda distributions in the U.S., using fliers, posters, stickers, banners and the internet to spread their hateful ideology.”
Patriot Front Infiltrated by the FBI
Ken Silva, an author and editor for Headline USA, posted a heavily redacted FBI document that reveals the Patriot Front was infiltrated by an FBI CHS, or Confidential Human Source, an FBI term for undercover informant. “Though almost the entire FBI file on the Patriot Front is redacted, it includes one record confirming that the bureau had at least one spy embedded with the group,” Silva writes. He believes the informant, or possible agent provocateur, Michael Alan Jones,
may have been the CHS discussed in the above-mentioned FBI memo, given that he lives close to Charlotte—the office that received information from a Patriot Front CHS in 2019. If that’s the case, it would be the first public confirmation that Jones was acting as an informant while in the Patriot Front—court records only confirmed that he spied on the Proud Boys.
“The notion of agents provocateurs perhaps gained most of its notoriety in connection with controversial tactics used by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation over the course of 20th century,” the Toronto Star reported in 2007. “FBI agents have been accused in countless books of posing as radicals in various organizations—from the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party to the Communist Party and civil rights groups.”
On August 15, 1975, The New York Times reported that the “Federal Bureau of Investigation made public today documents revealing how it used counter‐intelligence tactics in the nineteen‐sixties to disrupt and combat the Ku Klux Klan, the Communist party and other extremist groups in America.”
The documents, obtained by reporters under the Freedom of Information Act, disclose how the F.B.I. infiltrated the Klan with some 2,000 informants, issued bogus news reports about Klan officials, established fictitious counter groups and sent anonymous mailings to make trouble for Klan members and other extremist organization.
However, Brian Glick, the founder of Fordham Law’s Community Economic Development Clinic, writes that the FBI’s so-called “white hate” program “functioned mainly as a cover for covert aid to the KKK and similar right-wing vigilantes, who were given funds and information, so long as they confined their attacks to COINTELPRO targets.”
COINTELPRO and the Ku Klux Klan
COINTELPRO, or Counterintelligence Program, was a covert initiative by the FBI from 1956 to 1971 aimed at surveilling and disrupting political organizations the federal government considered subversive, including groups associated with the civil rights and antiwar movements.
According to the anti-fascist ce399 research archive, the FBI used the KKK and other reactionary groups to attack leftist targets.
In the guise of a COINTELPRO against “white hate groups,” the FBI subsidized, armed, directed and protected the Ku Klux Klan and other right-wing groups, including a “Secret Army Organization” of California ex-Minutemen who beat up Chicano activists, tore apart the offices of the San Diego Street Journal and the Movement for a Democratic Military, and tried to kill a prominent anti-war organizer. Puerto Rican activists suffered similar terrorist assaults from anti-Castro Cuban groups organized and funded by the CIA.
Also in 1975, the ACLU issued “a report for Senate investigators alleging that the Federal Bureau of Investigation recruited a band of right‐wing terrorists [the Secret Army Organization,] and supplied them with money and weapons to attack young antiwar demonstrators.”
According to the A.C.L.U. report, the Secret Army Organization was setup “on instructions of F.B.I. officials” to serve as agents provocateurs, inciting disorders as a means of exposing “domestic radicals,” particularly campus leaders of the New Left protesting the war in Southeast Asia.
The ACLU said the Nixon White House allegedly maintained a liaison with the Secret Army Organization. Donald Segretti, a political operative with then President Richard Nixon’s Committee to Re-elect the President during the early 1970, and later convicted for his role in the Watergate break-in,
told the Secret Army that any potential troublemakers at the 1972 Republican convention would be “gotten rid of,” an apparent reference to the so-called [G. Gordon] Liddy plan described during the Senate Watergate hearings, whereby the leaders of anti‐Nixon elements would be kidnapped and taken to Mexico.
The case of Hal Turner, a white supremacist radio talk show host, reveals the FBI was involved in agent provocateur activity against political enemies well after the government declared it shut down COINTELRP0 in 1971.
“Radio talk show host and blogger Hal Turner was an FBI trained agent provocateur,” I wrote in 2009. “The supposed white supremacist worked for the agency from 2002 until 2007. ‘His job was basically to publish information which would cause other parties to act in a manner which would lead to their arrest,’ Michael Orozco told the Associated Press.”
As the case against Turner and the revelations of his attorney reveal, the government did not abandon its COINTELPRO tactics, as it claimed in the 1970s. The FBI, acting as the establishment’s political secret police, continues to undermine political movements the elite consider dangerous and a threat to their control and influence.
FBI’s False Flag Terrorism
There are accusations the FBI played a disruptive role in the January 6, 2021 MAGA protest at the US Capitol in response to the belief the Democrats had stolen the election. In testimony before the House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said he had gathered information for a report indicating “the FBI paid individuals to wreak havoc” at the demonstration. Justice Department Inspector General Horowitz did not deny “that federal government confidential human sources were in the crowd during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.”
Following the events of 9/11, the FBI initiated a number of fabricated terror schemes. In his 2011 book, The Terror Factory, journalist Trevor Aaronson documented that the FBI has conducted a manufactured war on terror, employing approximately 15,000 paid informants. Among the 158 individuals indicted as a result of FBI sting operations, Aaronson discovered that 49 were caught in plots instigated by an agent provocateur under the FBI’s control.
Now a new study has quantified signs of entrapment in a database of post-9/11 terror prosecutions. Out of 580 cases, 317 involved an informant or undercover agent, and most of those showed signs of entrapment, the study found.
The agency’s reputation for exploiting individuals, particularly those struggling with mental health issues or financial difficulties, to orchestrate fabricated terror plots raises serious questions about the motives and capabilities of those involved. Many individuals apprehended in these operations have not harbored any genuine intention to commit acts of terrorism. Consequently, it is argued that the FBI’s actions contribute to the perpetuation of a false narrative of widespread terrorism.
In addition to the FBI, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been implicated in the manufacture of fake terror plots. A grand jury in the Middle District of Alabama charged SPLC with six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering tied to the group’s use of paid informants to gather intelligence on extremist groups.
Patriot Front and Overblown Antisemitism
The theatrical march by the Patriot Front and its over-the-top coverage by corporate media creates the perception that there is an alarming increase in antisemitism endangering Jewish Americans. “One of the group’s signature slogans, which members displayed on a banner in Washington in 2023, is ‘No Zionists in Government,’” the Cleveland Jewish News reports.
“Patriot Front has been documented engaging in coordinated antisemitic activity. Activities tracked include public propaganda dissemination, intimidation campaigns, and targeted harassment of Jewish communities, institutions, and individuals,” according to StopAntisemitism, a pro-Israel nonprofit advocacy group founded by Liora Rez.
“Such messages accounted for 72% of all antisemitic propaganda in 2025,” the ADL claims. “Given Patriot Front’s neo-Nazi roots and history, when they reference ‘Zionists’ in their propaganda, they unequivocally mean Jews.” The ADL fails to mention that the vast majority of Zionists are Christian. John Hagee’s Christians United for Israel, for instance, has over 10 million members.
“The political environment seems to be encouraging white nationalists to pursue more ambitious political projects,” claims the SPLC. “While groups still hold marches and banner drops aimed at intimidating people of color, Jewish people and others they denigrate, organizations like Active Clubs [described as decentralized neo-Nazi cells] and Patriot Front are hosting conferences and other events for like-minded activists.”
In fact, with the help of the state (Trump’s Executive Order 13899, Combating Anti-Semitism) and well-funded groups such as the ADL, SPLC, AIPAC, the American Jewish Committee, CAMERA, StopAntisemitism, and others, there is a concerted effort to exaggerate the threat of antisemitism and create a “political environment” necessary to outlaw criticism of Zionism and Israel.
The Patriot Front, with its calculated imitation of the Braunhemden, or Brownshirts, marching in unison to a drum beat at Union Station, furthers the effort to demonize Americans engaged in free speech, particularly in regard to criticism of Israel and Zionism.
