A new set of leaks from inside the Telegram chats of the American Patriots Three Percent militia group (AP3 or APIII) reveal a sprawling network buzzing with activity. We got in touch with someone who infiltrated this group for around two years; they gave us a full explanation of why they spent so long trying to get into the group’s leadership circles, which span many states.

‘The infiltrator’ wrote, “I spent two years infiltrating right-wing terrorist groups. I can say firsthand that voters are at risk on Election Day.”
An investigation ProPublica released in August is based in part on the same overall group of leaks. While no one in APIII has caught terrorism charges, the infiltrator has emerged with a lot of receipts which raises questions of whether APIII has violated laws around voter intimidation.

“In addition to providing ProPublica with more than 100,000 internal messages I am publicly releasing a selection of these messages. The public release includes more than 13gb of internal, secretive communications covering their ballot box watching in 2022, and almost 200gb of related public Telegram channels,” the infiltrator wrote.

The infiltrator told Unicorn Riot,
“The right wing paramilitary world has not given up their goals of influencing national politics through vigilante action. Their efforts in 2024 will not look like those in 2022. They learn from their mistakes and are very adaptable. [...]

" [...] Their efforts are likely to be less overt this year. They never faced consequences for their actions in 2022, they have the same extremist beliefs, the same people are active in the same spaces, and those people are still part of groups which are very organized and motivated. We should not mistake their lack of overt action for lack of activity. If anything they are more emboldened and determined. They will continue to engage in paramilitary vigilantism until they are stopped.”

The infiltrator told us, “I spent more than two years infiltrating APIII and was granted access to their chats as they believed me to be one of them,” which included face-to-face meetings as a bona-fide member.

The APIII group is not the only one angling to pressure voters; it’s just one element in a larger ecosystem of actors. Longtime Trumpworld figure Steve Bannon has long pushed a precinct-level strategy for hardline conservatives, which includes the more “insurgent” side of the GOP that believes democracy has been lost and must be restored to reclaim America; this includes dramatically changing the role of poll watchers and similar local-level activities.

This gives a little more context for why exactly a self-proclaimed militia would be so keenly focused on the odd subject of ballot watching. Back in 2022, ‘Clean Elections USA’ was a highly visible source of what critics called “intimidation and harassment” of Arizona voters.

Our source, ‘the infiltrator,’ alleges that the APIII militia closely coordinated with Clean Elections USA to create this air of menace. They wrote, “Clean Elections USA is the more public facing side. While Clean Elections USA handled the public side, and The People’s Movement focused on the bureaucratic side, APIII and other paramilitary groups provided the muscle.”

lt appears they are setting up to target election day. I have seen no sign in early voting.
If they do target election day, they are going to help Harris. Far more Republicans vote on election day than Democrats.

Wage Labor and Capital paired with Value, Price and Profit make for a good introduction to Marxist economics. You can add on Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism if you want to see the defining mechanisms of late-stage, dying Capitalism, the Capitalism of today.

it's a recurring thing in the thread… that particular track was from a week of tracker music, you might enjoy the cohost recap cohost.org/mcc/post/4931271-wh…

You also might be able to get a survey by searching "from:@mcc listening tracker"… my posts are indexed

Earlier in the thread someone asked this question and I made an intentional survey of the tracker posts I'd linked early on mastodon.social/@mcc/112068134…

The second thing linked there, "Gaia floating in me", is I think my fav tracker tune

thanks! i'll check them out

most of the tracker music i've heard is from a racing game called Need For Madness. it was a 3D Flash game! it was a racing/demolition game with a surprising amount of freedom! it was one of the first video games i loved!

and it used MOD files for its soundtrack.

I was enormously influenced by Jared Diamond. His story of ecological collapse of Easter Island penguin.com.au/books/the-last-… resonated with a huge audience. Only one problem. Subsequent research has shown that it was just that, a story. No basis in fact.
