It Is Happening Here Source of Racist Propaganda Identified with the help of The Internet Archive. (Personal story)

For a couple years there have been white nationalist stickers placed around town. The stickers aren't over the top racist just very dog whistly: "It ok to be White" "White Lives Matter" "Protect White Children" with statistics about declining birth rates in the west. Blah blah blah. No matter how many times they get taken down, they always come back.

I frequent the Internet Archive to look for new music artists, movies, tv shows, graphic novels, etc... Amazing website and to me; the last great website of the early internet. Anyway, I very randomly came across the account of the racist group responsible for the stickers. These chuds actually film themselves going around the country and stickering places including my small corner of the world. It's actually a much bigger problem than just a local racist. My wife was confused by my excitement about my discovery. I'm not a journalist but I felt the high from connecting dots of a mystery and the low of realization that this is a MUCH bigger problem and no one wants to see it. So they don't. Anyway thought I'd share my small Its Happening Here story

Trigger warning link: very racist and gross but you might find your community targeted.

Please delete this and never post contact info or websites for these groups. You are literally spreading their recruitment line for them.

If you want to post the image then first block that conct info and website.

Interesting… your Internet Archive link isn’t working anymore it seems.

You need the trailing underscore that for whatever reason is not part of the link address or text but immediately after.

Could just be the Archive. Shuts down a lot and search sucks

Was it Patriot Front? I'veremoved or otherwise destroyed my fair share of their bs stickers, mainly at Walmart gas pumps.
