1/ I've been thinking over how to respond to the accusations against me without personally attacking anyone. These are baseless attacks being pushed by Light Upon Light, a CVE group, because I exposed their collaboration with The Clarion Project, an anti-Islam hate group.
2/ First, LUL's Frank Meeink has been making appearances at conservative conferences, repping The Clarion Project.https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1208385983898624001 …
3/ And The Clarion Project just put out an article quoting Light Upon Light's Jesse Morton and Jeff Schoep (former NSM leader).https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1212084327330308097 …
4/ So to bury that, Light Upon Light has been pushing an attack campaign against me, claiming that I'm an "abuser." But what am I actually accused of?
5/ They're claiming I'm an "abuser" because someone asked me to check their hair for paint after painting a room, and because I once made a joke to a friend about an Amish woman who flirted with me at a roadside stand. That's it.
6/ It's plain to see that Light Upon Light is desperate to bury their collaboration with hate groups, even collaborating with The Post Millennial, where Patriot Prayer propagandist Andy Ngo serves as Editor-at-Large.
7/ Thanks to everyone for their kind messages. Your support means the world to me. One request-- don't personally attack anyone involved in this. While I disagree with the accusations against me, I'm not attacking anyone who may have shared them in good faith.
8/ All accusations of abuse need to be taken seriously, and these have been. I've been transparent with everyone I work with, and they've found no wrongdoing on my part. It's just an attack campaign from Light Upon Light.
9/ So what is Light Upon Light's deal? With big government grants at stake, they want to be the only game in town for countering white nationalist violence, so they attack the efforts of antifascists and push baseless narratives about us.
10/ So how does their grift work? They claim they do "disengagement," not "deradicalization." In short, they pick up famous Nazis that antifascist organizing has defanged, and then take credit for the work of antifascists.
11/ Exhibit A: Jason Kessler Just two months after two separate antifascist infiltrations and doxxing campaings disrupted Unite the Right 2 so badly that only 20 people showed up, Light Upon Light announced they had "disengaged" Jason Kessler.pic.twitter.com/finjLNwFBr
12/ Except that Kessler was already persona non grata in his own movement. No one wanted to organize with him anyway. When he staged a "white civil rights" rally in January 2019, his only collaborator was Jovi Val.
13/ Light Upon Light is a grift, pure and simple. And they're willing to attack anyone who exposes that and their collaboration with hate groups with bad faith accusations of racism and abuse, stirring up harassment campaigns against antifascists doing the work.
14/ We're dangerous to them because we show that communities and local activists can deal with the threat of white nationalism without involving the FBI or the NSA.
15/ There's work to be done, and the state isn't going to do it. I'll be off Twitter for the next two weeks to concentrate on an investigation.
16/ To everyone who reached out to offer their support-- you are incredibly kind and generous, and I *promise* I will message you back.
Right now, I'm going to continue my work.
