'Like a military operation': 'Ghost' Maryland Proud Boy leads a trucker convoy support group

The state lead for a Telegram group organizing support for the upcoming trucker convoy to Washington DC is a member of the Maryland DC Proud Boys chapter, Raw Story has confirmed.

“We’ve been tasked with collecting supplies, having people ready for the sides of the road when they do come through our territory, and if they stay in our territory to supply them,” the Maryland DC chapter member wrote under the handle “Peter Venkmen” in the Peoples Maryland/Virginia Convoy chat on Telegram last night.

The username for the “Peter Venkman” account is @GTHaze, the same username as an account that posted a comment last month in the Official MDC Proudboys channel after the chapter chronicled its participation in the Jan. 23 Defeat the Mandates rally in DC. The handle for the @GTHaze account was previously “Ghost MDC,” consistent with the name on a patch worn by a Carroll County member of the chapter on his tactical vest at the rally.

Peter Venkmen

I ain't afraid of no ghosts.

[ZoWie]

I'm more afraid of the media.

They blow up all this little stuff into something that fits their narrative that Biden is a total failure and only a full capitulation to the New Corporate Order can save this country.

I remember when 10,000 people would march every year around this time to oppose the ongoing Afghan and Iraq wars that a majority thought had outlived whatever purpose they'd ever had and become a poorly disguised oil grab, and there'd be maybe 100 words in the press about it.

Now 15 neo-Nazis hang a banner off a bridge and it's the biggest damn thing since Noah's Ark.

Imagine using that handle, what is WRONG with these people?

[ZoWie]

It's indeed a waste of a good character, not to mention a very New York one.

"Mr. Mayor. Lenny! If we're right ... just imagine ... you will have saved millions of registered voters!"

BTW, I love his and all the other guys' cameos in Afterlife. I also think they "brought back" Harold Ramis/Egon in a very tasteful way. His "ghost" appears but never speaks.

Have not seen it yet, I need to check it out.

I find people's here response to the protests to be comical.
You disagree with what the protests are about I get that part.
But, the over the top remarks are bizzaro. Especially considering your opinions on people who oppose LW protest and protesters.
Congratulations you all have become that which you claim to hate........or maybe that is whom you've been all along

[Glennfs]

BTW So far no deaths, no police stations burned down, no looting.
At least those fascist know how to protest in a peaceful manner.

mmmmmm..Bait. i'll take a nibble.

Ya, it takes awhile to build up to a full blown insurrection.

i'm full. Later dude.

...Just like they did on Jan 6th, eh?

It's funny, but if it were BLM shutting down a highway, your side would be saying they'd run them over.

And BTW, Glenn, the Americans threatening to do the same in America are saying they are doing it to overthrow the government, for armed revolution.

Do you support that? Where do you stand?

No one here condones vandalism and looting. Much of that was carried out by outside agitators during 2020, Proud Boys, Boogaloos, etc. Overall, most of the 2020 protesting was peaceful.

But cutting off supply chains to attack the economy isn’t protesting. It’s an act of domestic terrorism. And it’s being funded by the same actors that funded J6, which was also not a protest. And the same GOP leaders attempting to blame Biden for inflation are actively encouraging these attacks in the economy.

Huh? 140+ police officers were seriously injured in J6 and gallows were erected. Seditionists we’re hunting down Mike Pence and Pelosi. If you’re referring to the protests up here, there hasn’t been an escalation in notable violence but there have been significant weapons busts, so the intent is there. And they’ve caused a massive amount of supply chain/economic damage (300 million in about 10 days) and pissed off a lot of people with the non stop horns blasting.

[bold]Speaking of boogaboo's, ap215 recently posted a link i can't find. It went something like this........

https://abc7news.com/steven-carrillo-gu ... /11556088/

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A guilty plea is bringing some closure to the family of a security officer at the Oakland federal building, gunned down in a drive-by shooting May 2020. The case is giving us a glimpse into the extremist Boogaloo movement.

On Friday, the two sides agreed that the gunman, Steven Carrillo, 33, should serve 41 years in prison, but the judge made it clear she still has to decide if she'll accept that deal.

What that link does not mention is that Carrillo is also involved in another trial that's linked here to Minnesota. Apparently Carrillo was in contact with one of the group that torched the 3rd precinct in Mpls. If i remember right, 2or3 of them that were charged were outside agitators. There was also one other that was charged for throwing a bit more wood on the fire that had already been started. A minority that was sympathetic to the BLM movement. The right got themselves all up in a tizzy over that one. Forget the 2or3 white nationalists. It was obvious to them that it was a BLM member that burned a police station to the ground. Problem with that is, once they dug deeper into the guys social media, turns out he may have been sympathetic to BLM but didn't really have any ties to them. Actually, it showed he had more in common with the other 2-3. He was using a BLM platform to further his anarchist ideas.

Let's not forget all the times the police attacked peaceful protesters.

What is not funny to me are the so-called Proud Boys, who as the OP noted, are involved in organizing this.

When con sits there and does nothing while proud boys and MAGA are murdeirng Americans, please dont anybody be surprised, I know you wont, Drak (be surprised.)


If liberals did Jan 6 in 2016 when trump won, board con would have lost his mind. LIterally.

[carmenjonze]

Were this Selma 1965, you’d support the fascist cops who beat the crap out of Amelia Boynton and John Lewis, and a ton of other African American SJWs.

Had it been Skokie 1978, you’d be supporting the ACLU who backed fascists of the KKK “peacefully” marching down the middle of the street with cop protection.

In 2022, you support literal fascists killing cops and taking a crap all over the halls of the US capitol.

You support these _uckers in Canada and you’ll be right along with the ones here next month, under the guise of owning libbz on a messageboard.

Sit down, confederate simp.

Confederate simp still believes the lie that the damage done in BLM protests were done by BLM, so he will support the literal extinction of POC and liberals, in fact he is doing that now. He wont speak out against any act of violence, including the coming terrorist attack known as "peoples convoy."

As I tweeted today

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time “Dr. Maya Angelou. I hope we have learned this lesson about anyone who voted for Donald Trump at any time.

For the purposes of this board I will add "trump or anyone in his party."

So far.

This post is so dumb that I can't think of a rational response to it. The best I can do right now through my total shock that someone could harbor an idea so totally divorced from reality is to note that blockade is considered an act of war in all international law.

Confederate flag t-shirt, nuff said. He is a hardliner, radicalized by decades and decades of white supremacist propaganda and white supremacist living.

He thinks normal people must accommodate and be openminded and patient with this type of eliminationism.

The looting in LA during the black unrest was about 0.5 per cent opportunism and 99.5 per cent the work of organized gangs with no political statement implied. They're not the same people who assemble in the street and paint graffiti. Since then, these gangs have used the same tactics many times, most notably last winter just before the holidays, and ongoing at the railroad yard in Lincoln Heights. They're after stuff they can sell off quickly for cash, especially jewelry, high-fashion clothing, Rolex watches, cell phones, and guns.

I can make no ethnic connection whatsoever, lacking in any evidence, since they wear hoods and hide any features that could be used in suspect descriptions.

Most of the political violence I've seen in the past 20 or so years comes from a few factions in the far right-populist corner of the 2-dimensional model of politics.

[carmenjonze]

Conservative whites simply support police brutality against nonwhites and our supporters. When haven’t they?

That’s really the bottom line. State violence against minorities is not violence, to them. Protesting state violence is the violence.

Doesn’t matter if the protesters are “peaceful” or not; they murder our pacifists in a heartbeat.

Their violent vigilante “protesters,” on the other hand, get a free pass from fellow radicalized conservative whites like Glennfs for burning down entire parts of town, lynching innocents, and overturning elections.

Glennfs, a supposed prolifer, cares a whole lot more about an inanimate object like some tagged or burnt out building than they do about the guy murdered for an allegedly fake $20 bill.

This is how white supremacy has always worked in the US.

[ZoWie]

Agreed that the state sanctioned violence against marginalized groups, which as an aggregate comprise most of the people alive on this planet, has always been completely acceptable. A few of the excesses like lynchings get some tsk tsk tsk from a few people, but otherwise it's considered the order of things.

I don't accept that the Proud Boys, Boogaloos, Promise Keepers, hitlerjugend, tiny minority of truck drivers, or any of these other affinity claques have any relevant contribution to actual government politics. Their purpose, except sometimes in their own romantic notions of a revolution that our country's founders would have shot them for, is to provide a platform from which they can attract cameras and destabilize public opinion to the point where it's a shouting match they can dominate by waving guns around and shouting louder.

And yes, some of this, not all but some, is inspired by the psyops and agitprop machines created by the Russian revolution and the Cold War. These, if anything, are getting better funding and stronger support than they ever did under communism. Rarely do they have to infiltrate actual agents. They have mastered infiltrating information.

The so-called extremists really aren’t all that extreme compared to the mainstream, and never were. These 21st century versions don’t hold views that are any different than the average Citizens Council-er, and that group was openly funded by state governments and openly supported by the FBI into the late 1970s.

That’s just one example. Their HUACs and commiebaiting loyalty oath politics are another. These anti gubbamint white traditionalist groups from the Klan to the WCCs to the Promise Keepers to Oath Keepers to Bundys to the dress-up tkiktorch fascists to the boogaloos to Atomwaffen Divion to Alex Jones may be disparate organizations but they have a cohesive history, all of which includes deep-pocket funding and government actors.

It’s as true now in the Goetz/Greene/Boebert/Cawthorn/Hawley era as it was in the Wallace/Thurmond/Dixiecrat era. They’re the same people with the addition of a few karens here and there.
