      XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, talk.politics.misc, alt.politics.trump       XPost: alt.politics, alt.politics.republicans       From: d@ray              Related Story: Trump-hating ‘Antifa’ and online extremist is a US Secret       Service Agent              White Plains, Maryland – An “Antifa” Special Agent for the United States       Secret Service (USSS) is threatening journalists with censorship and       lawfare after his alarming ties to anarcho-communist extremism have been       exposed.              The agent—previously identified as 30-year-old Thomas Jack “TJ”       Hamil—is       attempting to leverage his position as a federal employee to remove       evidence of his activities by falsely accusing the Justice Report of       leaking privileged “medical information” and details about his significant       other to the public.              On Friday evening, the JR received a so-called “abuse complaint” email from       Special Agent Hamil, desperately attempting to have his report scrubbed       from the internet, citing potential “harm.” The move predates new reporting       that suggests Hamil—currently serving in the protection unit for Vice       President Kamala Harris—has been placed on “modified duties” pending an       internal probe.              “I am a federal agent with the USSS,” opened Hamil in a furious complaint       to JR’s domain registrar. “I was advised to contact you regarding an       article…containing extensive personal information regarding myself and, in       part, my wife. I am beginning the pursuit of legal action against the       author of the website, but wanted to ensure you were aware…and discuss       options regarding what can be done.”              “Throughout my career in LE, I have become involved in the prosecution of       organized crime, and it is possible that this information could be used by       them to bring potential harm to myself and my family.”              Hamil’s assertions, however, are not based in reality. While photos of the       young agent were released in order to corroborate a link between his       vitriolic Reddit account and real-life identities, no residential, medical,       or private information was ever published, as all evidence used to identify       him as a left-wing extremist was borrowed from his own publicly available       social media accounts and statements.              Additionally, prior to publication, the Justice Report painstakingly       avoided mentioning any of Hamil’s friends and family members and obscured       all faces in social media photos that contained him.              Hamil, who posted under the Reddit pseudonym /u/Endon40 for 12+ years prior       to the exposé, was found to be contributing to boards known as recruitment       hubs for left-wing political theorists, “Antifa” scenesters, and militant       anarchists. He would use his privileged position within the USSS to provide       valuable insights and, in some cases, give away details of his caseload in       order to comment on American racial issues.              His intense hatred of a perceived enemy in the American right wing would       culminate in a heated Reddit debate with center-left users, who rightfully       opposed Hamil’s insistence that the results of the election had somehow       been “rigged” in favor of Trump. At one point, Hamil even admitted to being       a “walking, talking” repository of Anarchist theory, and begged fellow       “Antifa” to accept him in their circles despite being a federal agent or       “glowie.”              “I have worked – literally – as a detective for almost a decade. Stop the       Steal had zero evidence,” Hamil said in a now-deleted Reddit thread.       “There’s a LOT more here that may end up being nothing, but it’s       important       we look at it…And if you think principles don’t matter, see how your kid       does living in a fascist society because that’s what you’re getting with       this guy (Trump).”              Upon news of the Justice Report’s original article on November 14th, Hamil       furiously deleted his Facebook, LinkedIn, and Reddit accounts and, by doing       so, knowingly scrubbed any evidence that could be used against him in an       official hearing. However, many of his postings were digitally archived and       are no longer susceptible to user-end deletion.              His new and apparent bid to censor and silence the Justice Report for       sounding the alarm on his activities predates new information in the case.       On Saturday, National Political Correspondent for RealClearPolitics, Susan       Crabtree, reported that the United States Secret Service had placed Agent       Hamil on “modified duties” pending an investigation that could lead to       additional disciplinary measures.              “The agent, from what I’ve been told, has about six years of experience and       is in Phase 2 of his career is assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris’s       protective detail,” said Crabtree in her report. “After the social media       posts came to light, the agent deleted his accounts so any internal agency       review would need to verify those deleted accounts as his. That’s       apparently why he hasn’t been disciplined more severely and swiftly.”              Crabtree’s information came directly from Secret Service spokesman Anthony       Gugilielmi, who clarified that Hamil’s controversial statements—which       equated President-elect Donald Trump, American voters, and his fellow       coworkers to “chodes” and “nazis”—as not representative of the       Agency’s       values.              “The U.S. Secret Service recently became aware of alleged social media       posts by an employee that have prompted an internal review,” said       Gugilielmi. “We are taking this matter seriously, and this employee’s       assigned duties have been modified while this review is underway.”              “These comments in no way represent the views or values of the Secret       Service, and we maintain and enforce rigorous codes of conduct governing       employee actions both on and off duty,” he continued.              Crabtree would go on to elaborate that the Agency’s hiring practices and       standards have seen a marked downturn in the past decade, which may have       led to Hamil—who admitted to suffering from a debilitating mix of Autism       and clinical depression in the past—may have narrowly sneaked his way to a       security clearance.              She also states that the issue could be further exacerbated as the USSS       currently outsources hiring to civilian “human resource officials,” who       favor Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion goals and have no experience in the       complicated and elite task of guarding the Executive Branch.              Since the Justice Report first went public with its bombshell findings,       Hamil’s inarguable links to the anti-White extremism movement, commonly       referred to as “Antifa,” have been picked up by many Conservative news       outlets. In addition to RealClearPolitics, the story has been tailed by the              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
