Intercept: Border Patrol Union Endorses Extremist Video Featuring White Nationalists
[link:https://theintercept.com/2018/10/23/border-patrol-union-killing-free-speech-video/|
The National Border Patrol Council, the union representing Border Patrol agents across the country, is featured in a new video that includes white nationalists and anti-Muslim extremists. The video, titled Killing Free Speech, was endorsed by the union and recently shown by agents at a private screening in San Diego. The video is also expected to be shown in Texas, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., according to union representative Terence Shigg, president of the San Diego chapter of the NBPC.
The nearly hour-and-half-long video refers to Democrats as dark and evil and features a bevy of American and European far-right, anti-Muslim white nationalists who make a correlation between gang rapes, Islam, and immigration. The documentary also features members of the Proud Boys, a hate group designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center, that often aligns with white nationalists and are known for being misogynists and anti-Muslim. The Proud Boys participated in the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and in mid-October several members of the Proud Boys were arrested in New York City after a violent street confrontation with anti-fascists.
In a press release, the NBPC describes Killing Free Speech as a powerful spotlight on the terrifying assault on liberty in America today. A country heading down the road toward Orwellian control of information by a small but powerful cabal. The release also invites viewers of the video to dissect the daily propaganda used by the mainstream media who will stop at nothing to mislead the public and discredit and demonize those who risk their lives protecting Americas borders.
The director of the video, Michael Hansen, who calls himself the Dane in the videos credits and online, is a Danish immigrant who has made one other video, Killing Europe, which argues that immigration has contributed to an epidemic of rape in Europe. A third video, in what is apparently a franchise, will be titled Killing Canada.
At the beginning of Killing Free Speech, Hansen, wearing an Iron Maiden shirt and driving down the road with a childs car seat in the back of his modest sedan, warns that the same forces destroying Europe immigrants, Islam, the anti-fascist group antifa, the media, and political correctness now threaten the United States. Their first target is free speech, he says to the camera on his dashboard. Its clearly a low-budget project.
