Follow-Up on Dara "Nazi Mom" Graham and the Reactionary Yellow Vests

It was a matter of time before Paulie, a man who has been at the center of Canadian far-right movement for close to 50 years and who is now desperately trying to maintain relevance today, would associate himself with the latest unoriginal fad the Canadian far-right have adopted:

Add Paulie to the list of people, including a member of the Wolves of Odin (formerly the Soldiers of Odin in Edmonton), John Marleau, Thomas Trenerry, Dara Graham, and others with whom ARC has had long relationships.

Oh, and Joey Deluca of the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam has also come out of hibernation after his humiliation of the past summer:

It should be of no surprise to anyone that the reactionary Yellow Vests Canada protests should attract extremists in that the movement itself is dominated by antisemites, Islamophobes, and racists who also frequently call for the murder of the prime minister as well as violence against other groups. If anyone wishes to dispute this I would invite those people to take a look at "Yellow Vests Exposed" on Facebook where one can read screenshots taken from the various Yellow Vests groups such as these gems:

 

I should note that the reactionary Yellow Vesters are not big fans of moi:

In any case, in a follow-up to the story posted at the end of the year ARC has learned that participation in a Yellow Vests protest while expressing long held racist and antisemitic views while also praising Nazism might have real world implications:

This will be on GLOBAL NEWS ! Make it go VIRAL! The yellow testers at this counter protest were "fine" with these Nazis being part of their group https://t.co/moXHVZi6Hh

On Dara Graham's Instagram page, she had posted the following a few months ago:

Well thanks to antifascists in Lethbridge, Winnipeg, and elsewhere, she'll now have plenty of time at home now:

Dara "Nazi Mom" Graham and Thomas Trenerry Active In Yellow Vest Movement

You know, it has been a while since ARC has written about the "Nazi Mom" (aka: "Aryanprincess1488") who lost her kids after she and her then husband attended an Aryan Guard rally back in 2008. For years ARC referred to Dara Graham as "Nazi Mom" but as she seems to have advertised that it was she who lost her children, well, who am I to deny her the notoriety?

Well, she's back and she's dating former Aryan Guard member and also unreformed neo-Nazi Thomas Trenerry:

ARC readers will no doubt remember Thomas Trenerry:

It would appear that Mr. Trenerry and Ms. Graham, formerly members of and associated with the Aryan Guard respectively, have found a new movement to welcome them:

I know. Shocking that virulent racists who have been affiliated with one of the more violent neo-Nazi movements in Canada of the past 20 years (assaults, attempted murders, murders, arson, etc) would be attracted to the reactionary Canadian Yellow Vest movement:

On Saturday, both Graham and Trenerry attended the Yellow Vest protest in Trenerry's home town of Lethbridge. It went about how one would expect:

Trenerry has associated himself with the III% militia and has made incendiary comments advocating the assassination of the prime minister on the III% Alberta page:

Trenerry iss also Facebook friends with Tyson Hunt of the formerly named Soldiers of Odin, now re-branded as the Wolves of Odin, who has participated in reactionary Yellow Vest events in Edmonton:

Interestingly, neither Graham not Trenerry are even the first former Aryan Guard members who have joined the reactionary Yellow Vest movement as evidenced by John Marleau's involvement.

Yeah.... what's that about the Yellow Vesters not being extremists?

I leave you all with one last screen shot because it made me laugh:

Lot of maritime talk for a "country" that would be landlocked.

Also, in the least surprising bit of information....

Full disclosure. I was among those who were contacted by the CBC to provide some of the background for this story as well as sharing some of the screen shots that have I've amassed, including some that have not yet been published. Mack Lamoureux of "Vice" should also be given credit for being perhaps the first journalist in Canada to cover the III% movement in detail close to a year ago:



Though brief, the story does a good job of showing that despite their claims the III% militia are the paranoid, Islamophobic, bigots this blog has proven them to be.

The Threepers also saw the news story and, well, they weren't happy that they were characterized by their own word and through their complaints and impotent threats pretty much prove every claim made about them in the story:

I really enjoy Beau Welling's reaction. First, both Douglas Calvert and in a later comment Beau himself, speak about the importance of "freedom of speech" but then Beau claims that he will sue because he doesn't like what is being said about his racist militia.

Such snowflakes.

Second, he claims that the CBC is focusing on them to distract Canadians from the "real story" about the van attack that occurred in Toronto last week. He and other Threepers are continuing to push a quickly debunked narrative on the fringe right that the man who murdered 10 people was a member of ISIS and has blamed Trudeau directly. These are some of the relevant screen shots:

This alone confirms much of what the CBC story stated concerning the Threepers.

Northern Guard's Saskatchewan Problem

On December 21, Nick Gallant posted the following video, much of which was focused on lil' ARC.

Sooooo, our articles showing the Northern Guard to be unapologetic bigots attracts people to the your "club" eh?

I'm not entirely certain you're aware of how you've contradicted yourself by that claim alone.

Moreover, for almost the first four minutes of the video you feel the need to admonish your members to NOT post death threats directed at the Prime Minister and Muslims. It all sort of suggests that the crowd you're attracting are, perhaps, aren't exactly quality people.

I mean, talk about the company you keep.

This lead me into my overview of the Saskatchewan Chapter of the Northern Guard, or at least what was once the Saskatchewan Chapter of the Northern Guard.

A while back, ARC was introduced to this fella:

Uhm.... are children's plastic guns supposed to be intimidating?

Darren Jones was, at least until late December or early January, the vice-president of the Saskatchewan Chapter of the Northern Guard:

I should also note that Darren Jones actually has three profiles that ARC knows about, including the three that used to act as administrators on the Saskatchewan Northern Guard Facebook group

He also had a beef with the former Moose Jaw Chapter leader of the Soldiers of Odin (and one time would-be Saskatchewan Aryan Nations leader) Jody Issel which I personally got a bit of a kick out of as Jones gives ARC a bit of a shout-out:

Jones is also not much of a fan of the police....

.... which might be in part due to a past involving the legal system as a guest of one of Her Majesty's finest long-stay hotels with bars:

Now National President and founder of the Northern Guard Nick Gallant has repeatedly spoken about how stringently he "vetts" new members and the leadership team. Nothing untoward would get past the steely gaze of Nick Gallant, right?

Right?

Uhm, is this a post made by your Saskatchewan chapter VP supporting the neo-Nazis marching in Charlotteville Nick?

And what exactly are those flags in the background?

Don't deny it. You always knew where this was going.

Southern Ontario Skins: A Cast of Stooges Part XII

It's been a while since ARC has published a story about our favorite, bumbling, bonehead, basket-cases (I was going for some alliteration for humorous effect .... it sort of works if you're willing to be charitable). The reason for this is mostly because there hasn't been all that much to say. Of those who were active members or associates of the London, Ontario-based hate group, Max Hynes appears to be the only one active aside from Dan Hall and Toronto Creativity Movement leader Wes Smith both of whom generally confine their racism to social media these days. Hynes for example is one of the moderators of Kevin "No-Show" Goudreau's White Canadian Nationalist Front:

And my goodness how sad is it that Hynes is willing to subordinate himself to.... well....

In any case it seems that most of the membership has either been kicked out or left of their own volition because hanging out with a roided out (allegedly) rage freak with the intellectual capacity of a doughnut whole wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Still the original cast of stooges, from Dan Hall and Adrian Graves to Luke Northmore and Brodie Walsh were all entertaining in their own way.

ARC's favorite SOS bonehead though was, and always will be, Jeremy Crawford:

ARC's long time readers could hardly forget Crawford. In May 2014, Crawford contacted ARC with the hopes of joining the Southern Ontario Skins because (a) he missed the "Anti" part of "Anti-Racist Canada" and (b) he's an idiot. He was sent a message but didn't reply so we thought that he had managed to realize he had made a mistake in contacting us.

However, on July 1 he finally replied resulting in the most entertaining and enlightening month-long email exchange this writer had ever been a part of.

For those unfamiliar or those who enjoyed it the first time, feel free to reacquaint yourselves with that article. I'll happily wait. Here is is again.

Okay, are we ready to continue?

In that exchange we learned that Crawford considered his extensive criminal record and prison history to be the sort of curriculum vitae that Hynes and the SOS would be impressed by. And sure enough there was ample examples online including the following:

• Gun lying in middle of road leads police to 10 more
• Two arrested following raid

Not long after Crawford FINALLY clued in, he did meet up with Hynes and the gang and received that t-shirt he was desperate to get his hands on:

After that and aside from a few rather brief mentions as a result of his social media activities, we sort of forgot about Crawford and as the SOS began to decline into relative obscurity, ARC stopped paying much attention to the gang entirely.

Then, last night, I suddenly wondered what Jeremy Crawford had been up to in the years since we last heard about him last? I mean, it was a completely out of the blue thought that popped into my head whereas I was contemplating whether or not to have a grilled cheese sandwich.

So I fired up the ol' interweb machine and did a quick search of his name:

I'm sure this will totally not come as a surprise:

Sarnia man stole phone and assaulted stranger 

By Neil Bowen, Sarnia Observer
Tuesday, November 22, 2016 10:41:01 EST AM 

A Sarnia man's lengthy criminal record for violence contributed to a nearly nine-month sentence for assault and theft. 

Jeremy Daniel Crawford, 35, pleaded guilty Monday in Sarnia court to the theft of a man's cell phone and the assault of another man when he threatened to use a hammer.
