It is well known that Ben Shapiro is very openly anti-antifa. Those who identify themselves as antifa, who are literally anti-fascists, have faced strong opposition, especially from conservatives, with political commentators like Shapiro at the helm.
In the past, Shapiro has told those who identify with antifa to go to hell, pathetic, liars and stupid. The commentator is one of the last people waiting to have an antifa recruitment site.”
Then, when Shapiro’s call was discovered in braverthanthetroops.org’s source code, it seemed suspicious and strange. And that’s actually the case.
When Shapiro’s call and email gave the impression in braverthanthetroops.org’s source code, the claim that it had made the site go viral.
The online page says: “Antifa is recruiting new members in his city. If you would like to register for combat against fascism, please complete the form below and we will contact you shortly. If you have problems, complete the shape below. (or if you just need to leave comments), please leave a voicemail at 202-643-5375 and one of our colleagues will touch it. We have many rallies planned [sic] on November 3, 2020 in the suburbs and rural spaces of America.”
He goes on to say he’s going to recruit other people between the ages of 12 and 60.
However, Shapiro’s call appeared to be added to the site as a joke about the commentator. The real author was literally hidden in plain sight. Your call is connected to the home page as “Leader of Antifa”.
The creator’s genuine call is Adam Rahuba. The series of his call as “Leader of Antifa” did so deliberately because there is no antifa leader. Antifa is a political ideology, not an organized group. Rahuba shared that braverthanthetroops.org was a “honeypot” that functioned as a “troll to fuck with far-right idiots.” You may recognize that on the home page of the website, the phone number of the intended recruitment team is displayed in the foreground. It’s intentional.
Turns out Rahuba’s real goal was to get and record calls from those who oppose antifa. He compiled the many messages and compiled them into videos he shared on social media. The calls are filled with N words, homophobic insults and death threats, as well as countless requests for anyone who created the site to leave the country.
“No, your life doesn’t matter, ” said one caller. “They and your mother are not ashamed. Instead of having you, they’ve had you all.
I’m going to hang your king… said another. I’m going to sell you and your wife, you filthy, magnet. I hope the police get over it.
All right-handers who “justify” Ben or his side. I set up a fake Antifa hotline. Listen to how messy and violent the right is. Warning: racism, homophobia, violence. https://t.co/EVCHaj5k4d
“God loves Trump and God loves the Confederate states of America,” said another.
“I hope someone shoots him in every hole,” said one caller.
“I have no challenge to bury you,” someone called to say, while someone else said that whoever created the page online was going to be “burned to death.”
One of the few people who met on the call, Link Dellinger, issued the statement: Bring yours into my space and you’ll pay with your life.
You can pay attention to more of those calls on Rahuba’s YouTube account, although, once again, keep in mind that those calls are riddled with foul language, lynching threats and other horrific murders, homophobic insults, racist comments, and threats of rape.
