Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization. Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported. Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived. … Several LGBTQ+ venues have already closed following the decision, including St. Petersburg's gay club Central Station. It wrote on social media Friday that the owner would no longer allow the bar to operate with the law in effect.

I'm an extremist. I don't know how to live a normal happy life, I only live at the extremes. Either I am completely happy or I'm completely sad, either I'm way too productive or I'm way too lazy, either I work too much or i don't work at all, either I live freely or i don't live at all, either I feel too much or i don't feel at all. And when I love, love too much and immerse myself into that person. Then I forget how to exist for myself and I only exist for that person.

"Guess how many local news outlets have reported on the anti-LGBTQ+ extremist attack outside of the Pasadena Courthouse?

Zero. Fucking zero. The extremists are on video performing the crime, admitting to the crime, and nothing happens.

The media and cops work together to cover up fascist violence."

A majority of high profile classified document leakers are assholes. That includes Russian assets Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Jack Teixeira undeniably belongs in that category.

He is basically a far right white supremacist gun nut in addition to being a traitor.

Jack Teixeira, dressed in camouflage fatigues, his finger wrapped around the trigger of a semiautomatic rifle, faced the camera and spoke as though reciting an oath.

“Jews scam, n----rs rape, and I mag dump.”

Teixeira raised his weapon, aimed at an unseen target and fired 10 times in rapid succession, emptying the magazine of bullets.

The six-second video, taken at a gun range near Teixeira’s home in Massachusetts, affords a brief but illuminating glimpse into the offline world of the 21-year-old National Guard member, who stands accused of leaking a trove of classified military intelligence on the group-chat platform Discord.

The Washington Post investigated Teixeira‘s background and online activities. He’s not exactly the boy next door which extremist blowhards like Tucker Carlson have claimed he is.

Teixeira’s love of guns, which first drew him to an online community of friends, was intertwined with a deep suspicion of the government that he served as an enlisted member of the Air National Guard. But Teixeira did not consider himself a whistleblower, according to friends.

By the time of his arrest, filings by federal prosecutors show that Teixeira had amassed a small arsenal of rifles, shotguns and pistols, as well as a helmet, gas mask and night-vision goggles, all under the roof of the house where he lived with his mother and stepfather. The Post obtained and verified two videos taken at their home in Dighton, Mass., where the FBI arrested Teixeira last month.

Filmed from the shooter’s perspective, the first video shows a person identified by a Discord user as Teixeira firing an AR-style weapon into the forest. Another video shows the gunman firing a pistol into the woods behind Teixeira’s home, including two rapid volleys that suggest the weapon may have been modified. It isn’t clear what legal or illegal modifications Teixeira may have made, though devices like binary triggers and typically illegal auto sear accessories can make semiautomatic guns fire quicker than they are designed to shoot. A separate photograph shows an AK-style weapon resting on a table outside the family home next to a helmet with attached night-vision goggles.

For Teixeira, firearms practice seemed to be more than a hobby. “He used the term ‘race war’ quite a few times,” said a close friend who spent time with Teixeira in an online community on Discord, a platform popular with video game players, and had lengthy private phone and video calls with him over the course of several years.

“He did call himself racist, multiple times,” the friend said in an interview. “I would say he was proud of it.”

Teixeira joined the National Guard in 2019 – during the Trump administration. We all remember how Donald Trump refused to admit there is such a thing as domestic terrorism. Obviously Trump doesn’t want to upset his white supremacist base.

The Post obtained hundreds of documents, as well as text messages, that Teixeira shared on the server over the course of several months. Teixeira’s lawyers declined to comment. Teixeira, who remains in federal custody, has not entered a plea.

[ ... ]

On Discord, an account with the handle “Jack the Dripper,” one of Teixeira’s known monikers, shared an image titled “payback,” showing a large passenger jet careening toward the Kaaba in Mecca, Islam’s holiest site.

Teixeira asserted that “lots of FBI agents were found to have sympathized with the Jan 6 rioters,” and he said naive members of the intelligence community, of which he was technically a part, had been “cucked.” He referred to mainstream press as “zogshit,” appropriating a popular white-supremacist slur for the “Zionist Occupied Government.” Friends said that during live video chats, Teixeira expounded on baseless accusations of shadowy, sinister control by Jewish and liberal elites, as well as corrupt law enforcement authorities.

“He had quite a few conspiratorial beliefs,” the close friend said, adding: “I remember him multiple times talking about things like Waco and Ruby Ridge, and talking about how the government kills their own people,” referring to a pair of notorious armed standoffs that the far right has held up as emblematic of government oppression.

In addition to the federal charges, Teixeira may face additional charges as a member of the military. 

Ann Stefanek, an Air Force spokeswoman, said Teixeira is subject to “potential discipline,” considering he was working under active duty. After the Air Force concludes an investigation, she said, a commander will determine if Teixeira should face charges in the military. The service is coordinating closely with the FBI in the leak investigation, she said.

The military has, in the past, struggled to track down individuals who have espoused racist or white-nationalist ideologies. Service members have faced charges that include dereliction of duty and misconduct for racist rants.

Teixeira‘s extremism goes back to his high school years.

The interest in video games and conservative politics was accompanied by an acute obsession with violence, the friend said. “He would send me a video of someone getting killed, ISIS executions, mass shootings, war videos. People would screen-share it, and he would laugh very loudly and be very happy to watch these things with everyone else. He absolutely enjoyed gore.”

Friends may not have taken seriously Teixeira’s threats against his high school. But he voiced approval of some shooters, particularly when they targeted people of different races and faiths. Teixeira was especially impressed by a gunman’s rampage at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019, which left 51 people dead and 40 injured. “He was very happy that those people died,” the friend said, because they were Muslim.

This guy is seriously unhinged. The US military needs to conduct more effective investigations of new recruits. Several obvious red flags were missed back in 2019 when Teixeira signed up.

Florida is off the charts scary. LGBT people have been given travel warnings not to go to that state.

Court cases are starting to increase in Russia since the 'extremist' designation & bar raids in Moscow.

-a two million rubles fines for a movie being shown -jail time for rainbow frogs

The case of "demonstration of the symbols of an extremist organization" for the rainbow flag.

A Russian court has sentenced 33-year-old artist, Irina Mossina, to a fine for publishing a photo with a rainbow flag on the online service Instagram. The photographer had to pay 1,500 rubles [~15€ / 17$] because she posted "the symbol of an extremist organization," the non-governmental organization Pervyj Otdel and Russian media reported on Monday.

He has gained a following among boneheaded, equally hysterical young men by pushing half-truths to their logical but extreme ends.

"I really appreciate hearing denunciations of racist murders by Republican politicians who spent the last six years saying racism doesn't exist in America and demonizing millions of people protesting it and passing sweeping cookie-cutter legislation to outlaw any mention of it in history books and inspiring their neo-Nazi fans, who 100% agree with these positions and policies, to gun down black, brown, Jewish and LGBTQ people in malls, clubs, supermarkets, synagogues and dollar stores."

29 years

I’ve learnt over my life, of 29 years, that the people I follow are people of extremes.

People that are always pushing the limit in all that they do. Wether this be art, adventure, drug taking and drinking. 

Being a climber is allot like drug addiction, always testing the limits, always seeing just how far you can safely push before life is in danger.

Having experienced both sides of this I can see the parallels, the common demeanour. Artists pump out as mush work as they can, addicts pump out the most drugs and alcohol that they can.

And, well, us climbers we pump out as many routes as we can. Always pushing that limit. Always weighing up the risk versus reward.

For 29 years I’ve been a person of extremes. 

Extreme chemical intake, extreme adventure and sports, extreme obsession over creating writing and painting. Always pushing, always plunging forwards to the unknown. Finding the harshest conditions, most sketchy long routes, most sketchy runs. No way of backing down once begun.
