How to Make SpaghettiNazi
Profiles in Extremism: NAFO’s ‘Papa Pasta’
Note to subscribers: according to Substack, this post is “too long for email.” It doesn’t really belong on the Bandera Lobby Blog, but Medium removed this from my other blog, “Ukes, Kooks, and Spooks,” for revealing “personally identifying information” about Twitter / X user “Spaghetti Kozak.” (Actually, I kept his real name to myself.) Then again, this individual spearheaded a narrative about me, picked up by his friends at Bellingcat (Michael Colborne and Natalia Antonova), that the OUN-B doesn’t exist, and I am just a mentally ill conspiracy theorist. Under the alias “Jim Kovpak,” he contributed to the Ukrainian outlet “StopFake,” the main face of which is an OUN-B member that assaulted me in Washington earlier this year. Therefore it makes sense to repost this here.
Introduction: The ‘Fellas’
This blog (Ukes, Kooks, and Spooks) probably gained the most attention when I discussed “NAFO,” an ostensibly “pro-Ukraine” internet group, which has seen a decline as the situation in Ukraine becomes increasingly dire. At the time, I underestimated the resilience of this extremely toxic “community.” Nearly two years later, NAFO has faced serious challenges, including the passing of one of its founding members and internal disputes over allegations of misconduct. This situation raises questions about the group’s future actions as the situation in Ukraine evolves, as seen in a since-deleted post from “The Poison King Fella.”
Seen above are some words of encouragement from NAFO’s unhinged “Papa Pasta.” A US veteran in Ukraine who goes by “Spaghetti Kozak,” and is known to some by his former alias “Jim Kovpak,” was said to be a “founding father” of NAFO, and its most influential member by September 2022. A couple months later, he started to distance himself from NAFO, not because I exposed the Nazi origins of the first “Fella,” but after some “fake fellas” disagreed with a controversial declaration of his: “I really don’t see why Russian civilians should be off limits. It’s time to take this war asymmetrical. … They need a good Dresden.”
Mr. Kozak has warned that “Ukrainian defeat means unrestricted asymmetric warfare pretty much everywhere,” and “when I come back to the US I’m going to help clean out the garbage.” More recently, he endorsed a violent attack against me, because “people have to do the job themselves.” This character acknowledges that since 2014, he’s been increasingly “radicalized to the Ukrainian cause.” Left unsaid is that “Spaghetti Kozak” did not only become an extremist in recent years. He used to be a dues-paying member of the National Alliance, which was reportedly “the most dangerous and best organized neo-Nazi formation in America.” In fact, he was its Assistant Director of Propaganda in Arizona.
Papa Pasta’s ‘Slavaboo’ Era
What do we know about “Spaghetti Kozak’s” past? Because he alleges that I’m a mentally ill conspiracy theorist, I will just let him introduce himself, in his own tweets from recent years.
My name’s James … I’m originally from Phoenix … As a child I was raised in a fundamentalist home in the 90’s … I’ve been into politics since I was 9 and … I often have to tell people how I have Ukrainian roots but was never part of the diaspora. I was raised by a totally assimilated WASPified family and basically had no cultural identity growing up. What I know I sought out on my own. …
American Slavaboos are the saddest thing. I know because I used to be one in my teens. *cringe* … I was briefly in Russia as a teen in 1999 … [and lived there] from roughly 2006–2017 … In my teens and early 20s I was a dorky russophile … At that time I was getting radicalized into the right (mainly due to my upbringing) … I actually joined the army at 17 to move away from home … I did nothing but sit in Ft. Riley, KS … I was in the army on 9/11 … and got out of the army nearly a year before the invasion of Iraq …
Not only did I 100% oppose the war, but I marched against it three times … and called myself anti-imperialist. But the rest of my politics? Hoo boy- absolute dumpster fire on top of a garbage fire … Ironically my politics were absolutely horrible at the time and it’s scary to think how easily I was able to manipulate left-wing people … I was an eyewitness to the entryism that was going on. In that era, the largest neo-Nazi orgs in the US were using the Iraq War and War on Terror as issues to organize around. A lot of “antiwar” types were conspiracy theorists ie potential recruits.
James was not just “an eyewitness to the entryism that was going on.” He was an active participant. In those days, he was known as “J.P. Slovjanski” on the neo-Nazi website StormFront. But what do we know about J.P.? For starters, his name is actually James, he’s from Phoenix, and he spent time in the army at Ft. Riley. Just like his alter ego “Spaghetti Kozak,” he was born in 1982, visited Russia in 1999, and moved there in 2006.
Five years later, “James Slavyanski” left a comment on the blog of political cartoonist Ted Rall, which linked to “Spaghetti Kozak’s” (now-locked) Facebook account. Mr. Kozak apparently still goes by “Slavyanski,” perhaps because that is not just an alias, if he legally changed his name. In 2020, a few years after he returned to Phoenix, “James Slavyanski” was a quarter-finalist of the ScreenCraft Comedy Contest. Before another alias, “Jim Kovpak,” started writing for Cracked.com, “J.P.” got his start as a “humorist” on neo-Nazi websites, and with a “repertoire of hilarious Jew jokes.” (As he once wrote for the Vanguard News Network, “no form of the Jewish establishment will be allowed to escape my comedy gas chamber, where we serve up a lethal dose of Sarcasm B!”)
In January 2002, most likely before he left the army that year, “J.P. Slovjanski” joined StormFront, “the first major hate site on the internet,” which was founded by a former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. By 2005, he made 1,759 posts on this extremist website, and chose the avatar of the “Russian Liberation Army” that fought for Nazi Germany. J.P.’s profile described himself as the founder of a “Slavic Nationalist movement,” and linked to the official website of the “Union of Slavic Communities of the Slavic Native Faith” as his “homepage.” (According to J.P., “Yahweh is a Jewish god- THE Jewish god, end of story … [and] we need to replace it with National Socialism, the RACIAL faith.”) This is likely the same neo-pagan milieu, steeped in neo-Nazism, that later spawned the notorious Russian neo-Nazi group, “Rusich.” Before moving to Russia, J.P. suggested that he might establish a Private Military Company there, “which the government can hire by contract if necessary.”
“Stand up and accuse the Jew!” J.P. posted in August 2002. “The body of the National Socialist German State has died, taking with it all of its mistakes. Yet the spirit of National Socialism lives on, free to any of our people that would just open their mind to it. It is time to take the best tenets of Fascism, NS [National Socialism], and our old systems and use the new ideology to correct our current situation. Nazism isn’t just for Germans anymore.” The following month, he requested some help translating Nazi slogans into Polish. “I was brought up being told that my father’s side of the family was Polish,” he once admitted, but J.P. chose to identify as an Eastern Slav.
In 2003, J.P. created a profile on Feldgrau.net, another neo-Nazi forum dedicated to the history of Nazi Germany. “Hey let’s face it, Hitler was right,” he once commented on this site. For his avatar, he chose the insignia of the Ukrainian “Galicia Division,” otherwise known as the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. He wasn’t as active on this website, and only posted 152 times. His interest in these Ukrainian Nazis stemmed from the discovery that his paternal grandfather allegedly hailed from “Galicia,” the homeland of Ukrainian nationalism, which was part of Poland for centuries.
J.P. started to identify as a “Galician Ukrainian,” but “Ukrainians and Russians are the same people,” he insisted. “Our cause is saving an entire RACE, not just an ethnicity, not one nation. The time is too far past to babble about old rivalries and linguistics.” Ukrainian nationalism, he believed, was a stubborn roadblock to realizing “my goal in life … nothing less than the restoration of dignity and living for ALL three Russian [i.e. Eastern Slavic] states, and from a restored and powerful Rus we will finally have a state that can stand against the global hegemony- serving as a refuge and training ground for Aryan revolutionaries.”
In 2002, J.P. started to write for the white supremacist Vanguard News Network, and called himself an “avid reader” of the website. He also joined the National Alliance, the biggest neo-Nazi organization in the United States, shortly before the death of its founder, William Pierce, who wrote The Turner Diaries, “the bible of the racist right.” J.P. eventually got in touch with Pierce’s successor, Erich Gliebe, the son of a Nazi soldier, but under his leadership, the organization entered a fatal period of decline. In 2003, according to the American Jewish Year Book, “the National Alliance participated in rallies against the war in Iraq, carrying signs that railed against Israel and Jews, and employed increasingly bold tactics to gain publicity and new members.” As “Spaghetti Kozak” said years later, “it’s scary to think how easily I was able to manipulate left-wing people.”
In 2004, 21-year old J.P. felt the need “to figure out exactly who is in charge,” and started to post on StormFront about the dilemma that the National Alliance (NA) faced. “NA needs to act if it is to secure new members,” he warned in August. He was most concerned by rumors “about the NA supposedly becoming a populist organization, more along the lines of American Renaissance or John Birch Society.” J.P. revealed that he spoke to “Chairman Gliebe” about this. He was afraid to see the organization abandon its original handbook by William Pierce, and compromise its principles in order to reach more typical conservatives in the US. “I have no problem with such collaboration,” he said, “so long as we lay out all our cards on the table and don’t let the conservatives or whatever think that we are not racist, anti-Jewish, etc.” At the same time, he acknowledged, “the movement has produced nothing but failure for the past 50 years or so.”
J.P.’s commentary was not well received. “Wow, it is amazing how a simple demand for clarity and accountability nets all this criticism and second guessing,” he said. “Now it ought to be apparent why I stopped paying dues.” A few months later, J.P. wrote an article approaching 3000 words that he posted on StormFront: “Mass Appeal vs. Revolutionary Cadre- A new approach to our cause.” He argued for the latter, sensing that he was in the minority. J.P. argued that Nazis should learn from their (more successful) arch-nemeses. “The Revolutionary Cadre theory is essentially using the tactic of the Marxist enemy against their descendants,” he explained. Patience was paramount: “Remaining out of the public eye for five years in order to create a well-defined, standardized, easily understood worldview for our time is well worth the reward it will bring.”
J.P. also recommended a book which argued that National Socialism is a revolutionary left-wing ideology. According to “Spaghetti Kozak,” by his early 20s, he was studying the Vietnamese communist military strategist Võ Nguyên Giáp. “We should not be afraid to look at a few tactics NS’s historic enemies used that worked better than Hitler’s,” he commented in 2004. “Vietnam’s 50 year war was masqueraded as a Communist revolution, yet it was in fact a racial-cultural struggle.”
“The only path to freedom is NS, Pan-European NS,” he maintained in 2005. “Ukrainians are still Russians though.” That year, the argumentative J.P. was banned from StormFront, which he declared “the most unjust banning in the history of Internet forums!!!” As a result, J.P. migrated to another neo-Nazi forum hosted by the Vanguard News Network (VNN). Alex Linder, a former NA member, founded the VNN, which became a platform for disenchanted neo-Nazis to criticize the NA. With the tagline, “Hey morons!! BAN ME!!!” J.P. started to offer unsolicited advice at VNN: “start studying how to create a new movement- one that works.” He started to mock the National Alliance, and bash ignorant neo-Nazis more generally.
“Sick of Jewish media moguls peddling filth and immorality to your children? Join the NATIONAL ALLIANCE!!! And let US do it!”
“I am fed up with the lying and rumor-mongering.”
“… the so-called ‘Movement’ is dead and buried.”
“Typical primitive thinking. Revolution is talked about by Communists, ergo we should ignore it! Communists also wore PANTS too, are we going to have to do away with those as well?”
“I have had it with the intellectual cowardice and cowardice in general with this online ‘circus’ that calls itself a ‘movement’. The idea that this movement, which has failed repeatedly over 50 years to produce any kind of tangible success- will ever succeed given its current situation is simply laughable beyond all comprehension.”
“The WN [White Nationalist] movement, and people such as yourself, MUST be ‘bashed’ if the race is to survive. You represent the largest threat because you claim to represent our interests.”
“This forum has been overtaken by the conspiracy nuts and people who practice ‘vicarious racialism’ by ‘fighting Jews’ online.”
“Seeing that the WN Movement has proven to be an utter failure and the biggest threat to our race (seeing that it purports to serve our interests)- yes, I guess now I could call myself an anti. Anti-movement, pro-white.”
After Hurricane Katrina, J.P. wondered, whatever happened to “that ‘Day of the Rope’ [from The Turner Diaries] so many of our ‘leaders’ have been running their mouths about for YEARS.” With “blacks running wild and looting” in New Orleans, “police refusing duty, [and the] National Guard severely hampered,” he thought it sounded “like something out of the Turner Diaries … Well it finally happened and the Lone Wolves and Revolutionary fantasizers couldn’t answer the bell. Maybe it’s time to finally sit down and PLAN an ideology so we can create a REAL revolution now.” In March 2006, J.P. announced that he would be leaving the country, and “I no longer care to discuss the American movement, as it will no longer be an issue for me.” That being said,
If this is the fist time I have said it on any forum, let it be here- That I, since the time I first got involved in the movement, was determined to see a healthy Aryan state in my lifetime. That determination has not faded, despite the many obstacles that appeared. If one takes that goal seriously, if one can envision that as a realistic goal rather than a comforting fantasy, the paths we must take become clear. … Do not put YOUR destiny in the hands of Jews or anyone else. … Take BACK your destiny, take BACK your identity, take BACK control, and your nations will surely follow.
For J.P., that meant moving to Russia, and studying communism. He received some warm words of farewell.
“So long, J.P. I always enjoyed reading your posts. Keep fighting the good fight. Who will be our ‘voice of reason’ now?”
“You’re a very smart dude and could be a great help to the White Race.”
“Build your own WN organization, become a great WN leader, and amaze us with your incredible success. You’re young, strong, jew-wise, and capable, so be something besides a dime-a-dozen, anonymous, movement typist.”
“You demand that we have to think about [what] we say and to be able to back it up with logic and fact. Locking horns with you is like going to the gym for a rigorous mental workout. You’ve made many of us better debaters. Thanks.”
In the coming months, J.P. became more hostile toward his fellow “racialists” on VNN. In July 2006, he published a satirical “Total Moron’s Guide to Creating a White Nationalist Organization,” almost 12,000 words. By the end of the year, he even wished a happy birthday to Joseph Stalin, and announced that he “embraced Marxism-Leninism.” J.P. mocked Nazi orthodoxy about the Soviet Union by presenting “evidence” that Jews puppeteered the rise of Nazi Germany. He also declared that “the Ukrainian famine is nothing but a hoax.” However, he explained that his ostensibly “left-wing” pivot did not mean that he would immediately abandon “the cause.” As J.P. said in August 2006,
“we are white men before we are National Socialists, Communists, or anything else. We need to see these ideologies as what they are- MEANS and only means to an end. While I express great criticism of the movement, based on personal experience and observation- I have always maintained a difference between the CAUSE and the ‘movement’. The cause is pure and good, it is simply the movement that claims to support that cause that is corrupt.” (August 13, 2006)
“Real NS is inherently left wing because it seeks a radical overthrow of the status quo.” (August 17, 2006)
“I have seen firsthand that the antifas really fear racialists taking left-wing positions, and they SERIOUSLY fear racialists who know the truth about Marxist ideology and are willing to apply it. These Trotskyites and quasi-Communists hijacked the Western Marxist movement for decades for their own purposes, and they throw fits when they see a racialist making pro-white arguments based on orthodox Marxist-Leninist positions.” In Eastern Europe, JP started to “rethink the idea that racialism was incompatible with Marxism. If anything the two cannot truly conflict, seeing that Marxism is an economic system. We must see the economic system as a means to an end- an economic system that is more conducive to a racially healthy society than capitalism.” (August 18, 2006)
As told by “Spaghetti Kozak” this year, Nazis “often rely on left entryism to advance their agenda.” Even in mid-2007, “J.P. Slovjanski” was still hanging around VNN. “Why should JP be posting on a WN board when he claims he is a Commie?” someone wondered. By then, he started a blog, “Eastern Star,” in which he said things like, “No one defends their nation, who does not defend socialism. No one defends socialism who does not defend the line of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Hoxha.” Meanwhile, he referred to “the 2004 me” as “still something of an idealist.” A few years ago, “Spaghetti Kozak” said something interesting about “left-populists” who cooperate with “right-populists.” That is, “many of these people are, deep down, right wing. Either they’re sliding in that direction, or they used to be right-wing and adopting left aesthetics was what they thought cured their problem. But underneath all that…” (Projection, much?)
James logged into VNN for the last time in April 2009, after making 4,761 posts on the forum. (For those who follow me on Twitter, I have made 4,603 posts in six years.) “People are always pointing out how many posts I have like I just sit around on the computer all day,” he once said on VNN. Last year, “Spaghetti Kozak” explained that in Russia, although he mastered the language, “I was just spending a lot of time online and doing my own thing.” He’s also explained, “I was akward when I left the US … and came back to a lead a pretty isolated life even before the [2020] lockdown.” Until 2022, Twitter became “practically my only social interaction.” Today, “Spaghetti Kozak” is frequently asked how he manages to find the time to be such a prolific poster, averaging hundreds of tweets and retweets a day, when he’s supposedly fighting the war in Ukraine. In the next section, we’ll see that he became “radicalized to the Ukrainian cause,” which he detested in his younger days, when he failed to appreciate Ukraine’s potential to become an important “training ground for Aryan revolutionaries.”
‘Glory to the Nation — Death to Enemies’
“Spaghetti Kozak” got his start as a “journalist” in 2014, including a couple articles by “James Slavyanski.” That year, he started to go by “Jim Kovpak,” a reference to Sydir Kovpak, a leader of the Soviet partisans in Ukraine during World War II. Back in 2013, shortly before the start of the “Euromaidan” protests in Kyiv, he started a blog, “Russia Without BS,” because “I am a skeptical, analytical person who can’t stand bullshit.” With this blog, he strived to write about life in Russia while cutting through the propaganda from the West and Moscow.
At this point, according to Mr. Kozak, “I was in some tankie circles back then.” But he sounded more like an anarchist. For example, “I’m a firm believer that all states are essentially dictatorships,” and “I am opposed to all nationalism.” That included Ukrainian nationalism. He also objected to “the nationalist and neo-Nazi presence in this Euromaidan movement.” But this all started to change, again. His “awakening” and “radicalization to the Ukrainian cause” began in 2015. That year, he started to write for Cracked.com with Robert Evans, who was also getting started as a journalist — one who specializes in online extremism. (They are still friends, apparently.)
In 2016, “Jim Kovpak” began to write for the US government’s Voice of America (VOA), among other outlets. By 2017, his long-time fascination with Russia was turning into a burning hatred, so he moved to Ukraine, and tried to join one of their volunteer battalions, possibly a nationalist or far-right unit. Because he couldn’t find one that would take him, James had to settle for becoming an information-warrior. He went to work for the VOA’s fact-checking service, or “Polygraph project,” and also collaborated with StopFake, a problematic counter-disinformation outlet in Ukraine, which was funded by Western governments. Also that year, James was featured in a History Channel documentary, hosted by a CIA veteran, about Lee Harvey Oswald. As a result, “Spaghetti Kozak” has claimed that he “met the KGB operative” that Oswald spoke with in Mexico City “shortly before his trip to Dallas.” (The only problem — that wasn’t Oswald.)
After overstaying his visa in Ukraine, James returned to Phoenix. In 2018, he started to write for a Ukrainian national anarchist outlet. In one article, he argued that “Right-Wing Politics = Suicide for Ukraine.” A couple years later, he warned, “I have admitted I was wrong about many things. If I become the opposite and insist on being wrong, it means something went wrong with my mind.” By that point, he already started to obfuscate the fascistic underbelly of Ukrainian nationalism, and rebrand his social media presence, becoming the “Spaghetti Kozak.”
His re-radicalization and total disregard of the truth about Ukrainian nationalism stepped into high gear after Russia’s full-scale invasion. On February 23, 2022, “James Kovpak” was one of the speakers at a “virtual training program” on “detecting misinformation” and “combating disinformation” by the Foreign Press Correspondents USA and VOA’s Polygraph project. That same day, “Spaghetti Kozak” tweeted, “Russian state officials = fair game. Russian businessmen = fair game. Russian propagandists = fair game.” By “fair game,” he apparently meant legitimate targets to “REDACT,” and his definition of “Russian propagandists” includes independent American journalists and researchers, such as myself.
Mr. Kozak made it to Ukraine in April, but again struggled to find a unit that would have him, as a fighter or trainer. He almost gave up and went home, “thanks to traitors and incompetent morons” who deserved to face “a firing squad.” It’s unclear when he found a unit. In any case, he rushed to the front lines of the information war.
That spring, “NAFO” was born, which initially took off in the “U.S. military social media sphere.” James was one of the earliest “members.” In June, “Spaghetti Kozak” asked the NAFO founder to make “a fella avatar” for Dylan Burns, “a central Debate Sphere figure … [who] became a leading spokesperson for the NAFO social media op.” Meanwhile, Mr. Kozak started to warn, “If the West doesn’t send the weapons, Ukraine will have to switch to a global asymmetric warfare style to target Russians wherever they find them.” He acknowledged, “They’ll call it terrorism. I’d call it national liberation war.” Soon he started to “joke” about becoming the “Ukrainian Bin Laden.” By September, “Spaghetti Kozak” was allegedly the most influential Twitter account associated with NAFO, and he certainly played a role in the radicalization of this toxic online “community.”
In October 2022, Mr. Kozak and another NAFO troll “joked” about burning down the Quincy Institute, the foremost think tank in Washington that advocates foreign policy restraint and diplomacy. James also encouraged the nationalist Ukrainian diaspora to “form defense units,” to beat up troublesome “Russians and their toadies.” That was around the time that I wrote about NAFO and exposed its founder. While “Spaghetti Kozak” dismissed concerns about the NAFO founder, he accused me of “helping support genocide” and “doing propaganda work for the 21st century analog to Nazi Germany.” That was when NAFO’s favorite member of Congress, Adam Kinzinger, told him: “Love your work.”
In the coming weeks, James went increasingly off the deep end, to the point that he got temporarily banned from Twitter for advocating the mass murder of Russian civilians and “their foreign propagandists too.” The Russian people, he said, “need a good Dresden.” An array of NAFO accounts and “pro-Ukraine” information warriors came to his defense, and called on Elon Musk to reinstate his account. Some examples:
Masksym Eristavi, co-founder of Hromadske International and fellow of the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA): “mass erasure of ukrainian voices on western social media platforms continues. @SpaghettiKozak is actually fighting on ukraine frontline against russian colonialism and fascism but gets suspended thanks to russian mass reporting.”
Matthew Kupfer, VOA journalist and former news editor of the Kyiv Post, retweeted Eristavi and wondered why “Spaghetti Kozak” was banned for “speaking out against genocide?”
Euan MacDonald, an editor at large for the “New Voice of Ukraine,” and BBC local radio correspondent in Ukraine: “@SpaghettiKozak still banned, very likely due to a fascist reporting pile-on.”
Iryna Voichuk, a contributor to the “Euromaidan Press”: “By suspending the voices of Ukrainians and those who support them, you become complicit in russian propaganda! Free @SpaghettiKozak now!”
“Spaghetti Kozak,” however, was infuriated by the lack of universal support for his Dresden rant from NAFO-world. “Fake fellas support fake fellas,” he vented. A few months later, he announced that he would be “temporarily” leaving Ukraine. “I will continue the fight on other fronts,” he vowed. In the spring and summer of 2023, he spent days on Capitol Hill lobbying members of Congress to send more arms to Ukraine and forget all about the “red lines” that prevent this war from going nuclear. That year, he continuously doubled-down on advocating “global asymmetric warfare … no matter what happens on the battlefield in Ukraine.”
“I feel the best thing to do is take the war into Europe,” he said last December. “Organize the [Ukrainian] diaspora and refugees, and start striking the russians and their allies in the West.” Later he predicted that the United States will become “a major front in the war.” Meanwhile, he called on American leftists to face the same “consequences” as neo-Nazis, as in, it should become morally acceptable to physically assault them. This includes pro-Palestinian activists (guilty of doing “Nazi shit” and “a ratfucking op”), “tankies” and “dirtbag leftists” (who “are basically Nazis”), members of DSA (after all, “most of these people are more accurately national socialists”), and PSL. (“These groups justify any kind of violence in the name of decolonization. So I guess that means they’re fair game for Ukrainians fighting Russian occupation.”)
Still fantasizing about the “Day of the Rope”? “I’m not even opposed to what some may call vigilante justice,” he said earlier this year. “When I come back to the US I’m going to help clean out the garbage.” It was around this time that I was strangled in Washington by Marko Suprun, the main face of the aforementioned “StopFake.” For “Spaghetti Kozak” and other rabid NAFO dogs, this was a good start. “Choking, punching, and stomping a Grayzone ‘reporter’ isn’t just okay, it’s morally correct,” said “Fella Hendrix.” (I don’t work for the Grayzone, but this is NAFO dogma.) “Good for Marko,” chimed in James. “These people aren’t journalists; they’re unregistered agents for multiple fascist dictatorships. And because our govt won’t defend its citizens from such rats, people have to do the job themselves.” At the time, I was surprised to see him engage an antisemitic troll calling me “Moss Rosenberg.” Of course, it all makes sense now.
Lying Spaghetti Monster
According to “Spaghetti Kozak,” I’m a “weird stalker” who “likely has mental illness” and is “probably a sex offender.” But these aren’t the blatant lies that concern me. Earlier this year, he spent a week “doing some training” with the 3rd Assault Brigade, an openly neo-Nazi formation of the Azov movement, which James insists is “just a regular military unit.” As a former hardcore Nazi, he would obviously know better, and certainly does. For example, just last year he said this about the black sun, a neo-Nazi symbol used by several units in the 3rd Assault Brigade: “Many folks erroneously think it’s just a Slavic pagan symbol. But yeah, it’s bullshit and people shouldn’t defend it.” Instead of openly defending it, James intentionally obfuscates the reality. “It’s all very complicated,” he says, and “the least important thing to report on right now.”
Perhaps “Spaghetti Kozak” takes some satisfaction in knowing that, in the worst case scenario, Azov would create an “Aryan state in my lifetime.” As explained by the journalist Leonid Ragozin, “Azov’s Reconquista agenda goes far beyond Ukraine. It envisages the ‘liberation’ of Russia as stage two. Russian neo-nazis played a big role in it from day one.” (“J.P. Slovjanski” would have probably come on board, too, if they let him.) The economist Branko Milanović added a relevant comment: “I’ve come to the conclusion that in 99% of the cases, ideology of extreme nationalism is purely a way to package a desire to fight, kill, steal, rape, etc. That’s why they can easily change ideologies. They mean nothing to them.” As for “Spaghetti Kozak,” he has continued to call himself a “leftist.”
P.S. If you want to support my work, you can “Buy Me a Coffee.”
He got his heart broken in Russia and became a Nazi lmao
The various neonazis who flock to Ukraine knew exactly what they are doing and what sort of regime they support.
For that matter, the US government and its various catamites in and out of europe know full well the nature of the regime that they support and are perfectly fine with that, even if they cannot say so in public.
