Andy Ngo.....

Yes, I could not come up with a snarky sub-title for this character, who if you aren't a Twitter user, is an infamous Portland-based pseudo-journalist and provocateur with ties to Oregonian far-Right groups like Patriot Prayer and the Portland chapter of the (now-international) Proud Boys. Jacobin did a very good overview of the man in 2019 and nothing has really changed: he finds people who break his unwritten rules (he hates protesters, Antifa counter-protesters of his neo-Nazi/crypto-Nazi "friends", Black political culture, and whatever target of the day Right Twiter has cooked up) and he just tweets everything (including names), using screenshots to avoid certain 'bots within the platform. He used to be an editor of Quillette (the "intellectual dark web" magazine) before moving on to The Post Millennial, a Canadian blog-magazine, though he remains in Portland. Rolling Stone called him a "right-wing troll" a few years ago, and his Wikipedia page has grown long. Andy Cuong Ngo is now a fixture on the Blue Bird site, so let us look at some of his output.


Above: His hatred for Black people shines through in his "coverage" of street crime if you look through his tweets - he tries to find video of Black suspects in the act. As for African-American politics, he loathes everything to the Left of Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder. No Black Panthers, no Black Lives Matter, probably not even a rally for Barack Obama. Notice that the video of Ngo talking will not even be hosted on Twitter, he has to use GETTR - Twitter would not touch that "content" with a barge pole.

Below: Link of security camera footage of a clothing store attack in Erfurt, Germany. The masked attackers are there to spraypaint a wall and some of the jeans black while two of the group of four beat up a shopgirl; at least one of he attackers was a woman. The incident happened on April 23. Ngo claims this is Antifa, but the source for the video is the German newspaper Junge Freiheit ("Youth Freedom"), which is National Conservative in orientation. I can find no corroboration that this incident took place.

Above: Ngo is somehow shocked that Muslims would take offense to a Quran burning. The politico behind this stunt is Rasmus Paludan of the Stram Kurs ("Hard Line") party, who had been jailed for promoting racism (against Muslim immigrants, or course) in 2020. Paludan and his party (founded 2017) are only about one topic: opposing immigration from Islamic countries. Original BBC article on the riots.

Below: The petty ideological stuff goes on even with librarians. Notice the lack of outrage about next president of the ALA being gay, because Ngo is (look at the little flag next to his verified checkmark). I'm sure his future cellmate Matt Walsh (Daily Wire ranter) would be fuming, because Walsh is Catholic and on the Right's new game of calling gay or transgendered people they don't like "groomers", which will blow up in their faces shortly.




Above: The people of Portland are just not fans of Ngo. Using Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force seems to drive that point across harder.

Below:  And this is where that contempt comes from. During the CHAZ/CHOP period, Andy Ngo was posting names and faces of arrested protesters on a weekly basis. In revenge somebody put all of Ngo's personal detalis (telephone numbers, where he lives, certain relative's numbers) on a Pastebin page which is still out there. He wants his "friends" in the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer to hunt these people.





Above: The German government did a hate-speech outlet "wire connector" map of all the major (mostly English-language) Internet people; the larger the name, the more important. Notice that Ngo's and Walsh's Twitter sites are spaced closely together, and that Christoper Rufo of the nutzo "Critical Race Theory is being taught in grade schools" panic is hovering above both. Also notice that noted crypto-Nazi Internet cartoonist Stonetoss (@stone_toss) is way down near the bottom of the blob. Because I dislike Stonetoss very much, here is a blog that deconstructs his comics, and a video from another source that also tears Stonetoss to bits if you don't want to read.

Below: Example of his stock John Birch Society anticommunism. He is utterly terrified of Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, Anarchism (definitely the Black Bloc people who also form chunks of Antifa), probably Council Communism, Anarcho-Syndicalism, and (I would guess) the Zapatistas.

Afterword

Andy Ngo will never change - he was doing this style of attack journalism in college, that's how he was picked up by Breitbart and became a student of James O'Keefe. And now that Elon Musk runs Twitter, he will go nowhere because the South African will make it very hard to leave due to the environment becoming very inviting for the trolls of the far-Right to work there. It may implode Twitter, but that's what Musk wants.
