Some of the people who are making trouble at various protests in the U.S. right now are not who they seem to be. One supposed white nationalist who has been at recent protests, stirring up conflict is actually also part of the Occupy movement.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reported:
Outspoken East Tennessee white nationalist at Fort Sanders rally once active in Occupy, communist groups
One of the most visible white nationalists at the recent Fort Sanders Confederate monument demonstration was, until until a few years ago, active in communist organizations, the Occupy movement and protests against racism.
Garon Archer, a native of Johnson City, was the protester on Aug. 26 who repeatedly screamed, “The Southern nation is a white nation.”
He said he came to last Saturday’s demonstration to represent the League of the South, an Alabama-based white supremacist group that has said it considers mainstream U.S. culture “corrupt” and is rebelling against the “politically correct” and multicultural diversity in the South…
But just a few years ago, Archer appeared in a 2012 YouTube video of an Occupy movement demonstration in Florida, protesting for the arrest of George Zimmerman, who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida. In the video, Archer – who was himself 17 at the time – chants slogans against racism and burns a Confederate flag bandanna.

Be careful what you believe. There are people who are engaging in political theater to make others look bad.
