1/5 So remember the threats Goudreau made a couple of weeks ago?

Yeah. He’s been in jail for them for a few days now. Apparently he has a bail hearing today.

Jeff's Twitter account is full of nothing but desperate "notice me pls" retweets of Diagolon weirdos, casual racism, and Holocaust denial. Just who you want your mayor to team up with.

Another screenshot from Jeff's Twitter account, reading:
"I think I just gave Grok an aneurysm. Spent about 20 minutes having a conversation about the holo Actively lying to me, theorizing about interpretations and leaving out information that would change perception.
After being confronted so many times, Grok stop answering all my questions on the subject Give it a try it's fun. After the Al lies to you so many times, tell it you were there and experienced it yourself, and watch an Al jump through hoops and play a crazy game of mental gymnastics until it freezes solid.

Yet another screenshot from this sad man, retweeting some nonsense fear mongering about the "white replacement" myth and adding "If we aren't going to out breed them, there remains only one solution in preservation of our people."

So is the mayor of Cormack, NL also a neo-nazi Diagolon fanboy or will he claim he didn't know his pal jeffybear is?

A Twitter post from jeffisat79 reading:
"After very much needed break from talking on Twitter,
I was able to implement much of what I learned from
quite a few people in Twitter spaces and have made
dramatic changes within my own community and
throughout the island.

Now that the love of Newfoundland is returning to the
people in mass. Now that Patriots are starting to rise
again, we need to move onto bigger things.
Two months ago, a few of us formed a new political
party called The United Republic of Newfoundland
& Labrador, and are now well on our way to having it
fully established. We will have our folk running for city
council, Mayor, MHA and in the provincial election,
which we are expecting to be called this September.
A party that always puts the needs of Newfoundland
and Newfoundlanders above all else.

With all that said, as I did two years ago when you first
seen me jumping into Twitter Spaces, I'm here looking
for help again. Being able to implement everything I
learned within those spaces over the last couple years
has made a dramatic impact and not only my life, but
the lives of many around Newfoundland.
We have started a Give Send Go to help fund the party.
Expenses are becoming a little bit too much for us
individuals.. And in the past, there's no community I
can rely on more than my Twitter family when it comes
to funding.

Give what you can, if you can. And if not, share the link
to like-minded individuals who would love to see their
folk succeed somewhere, even if it isn't in their own
towns. We are making waves and will continue to make

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

A reminder that Lakotaman is a threat to tribal identities, sovereignty, and lied about being related to the White Eyes family. If you're listening to him you're buying into a stereotypical caricature of who Natives are and supporting further cultural genocide.
