16/ "Preventing Violent Extremism" is a part of what's known as "Countering Violent Extremism" (CVE), an Obama-era program that was created by the FBI and DHS to surveil Muslim communities across the US, so it's no surprise that an anti-Muslim hate group would be excited by it.
17/ The Brennan Center for Justice recently released an informative series on the background of CVE programs in the US, which I recommend reading.https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/why-countering-violent-extremism-programs-are-bad-policy …
18/ For more background on CVE, I recommend "Suspected and Surveilled: A report on countering violent extremism in Chicago." http://www.stopcve.com/chicago-report.html …
19/ Light Upon Light's response to learning that one of their "influences," Frank Meeink, is working for an anti-Muslim hate group has been baffling. They've chosen to lie about Meeink's involvement with the Clarion Project-- it's not a one-time video-- and refuse to address it.pic.twitter.com/5noknotw21
20/ On Friday, the day after Meeink's current involvement with a hate group was made known, Light Upon Light chose not to address the issue head-on, but to reaffirm their association with him, by tweeting a November op-ed co-written by Meeink and LUL found Jesse Morton.pic.twitter.com/ZwV0BXBu8Y
21/ What we're seeing is the infiltration of hate groups-- like the Clarion Project-- into anti-hate spaces, and "anti-hate" orgs like Light Upon Light defending those hate groups. Why? There's massive government grants being handed out to CVE/PVE orgs right now.
22/ You'll notice that I'm not tagging any individual representatives of Light Upon Light here. When they're confronted directly, they just pretend that they're the victim, and I don't want to deal with that. I just don't want anyone getting taken in by their grift.
23/ So what can you do? Share this thread, and warn others in the fight against fascism about the reactionary history of CVE/PVE programs.
24/ This isn't to say that people can't leave the white nationalist movement, or that there shouldn't be programs to support that work.
There should.
But they don't have to involve the FBI or active hate groups, and we need to be watchful.
