Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

This group seems sus. Prove me wrong.

This is not an endorsement of this group.

Just the opposite. Posting this now before I do a deep dive on who and what this group is about. Will update later.


Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos is the guy behind this. A 2017 article tells a very amazing story of this uber-successful adventurer entreprenuer.

Curiously, Radical Artist's Agency out of Arvado, CO, has a short resume for a "Carlos Alvarez-Aranyos".

The posted site makes it sound like this American Opposition place was behind the Feb 5 protests ... but that was 50501, right?

Interestingly, r/50501 seems on board, but without any mod commentary there.

I don't want to throw stones, and fuck all we need a genuine resistance organization, but ... yeah, it's put together by one well-connected guy who brags that's he's "provided strategic communications counsel to a broad range of clients, including the U.S. Department of Defense, HSBC, the Yacht Club de Monaco, and the California Federal Public Defender’s Office."

I'd suggest adding "sus" to the title to make it clear before users click the link

Edit

It's been changed

Let me add this:

I am finding nothing to support this guy's claims of being connected to anything in government. He's primarily an actor.

He is listed as a co-founder and advisor to American Sunlight Project, alongside Nina Jankowicz, who does have some real government work cred.

My gut tells me that Carlos is puffing himself up to be more than what he actually is, in a kind of snake oil charlatan kind of way.
