Last week, Arizona Sheriff Mark Lamb officially announced his candidacy for the US Senate. Like other named “constitutional sheriffs,” Lamb has close ties to border militias and far-right #extremists in #AZ and beyond. (1/7) 
On June 25, 2021, Lamb spoke & held a banner alongside Veterans on Patrol (#VoP) militia leaders at a #nativist Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) rally along the US-Mexico border fence (2/7)
A few months earlier, Lamb gave far-right activist Christie Hutcherson and sitting US Sen. @MarshaBlackburn (R-TN) a “border tour” on March 21, 2021.
Footage of the tour (ID'd by @FC_inquiry) was shared widely on Facebook & other platforms, including Lamb's official accts (3/7)

Beyond excited to share my latest article, in collaboration w/ @bellingcat. “Borderless Vigilantism” leverages four geolocations to expose cross-border operations of AZ border militia Veterans on Patrol, and violence which blurs international boundaries.

2/ My article also details a history of cordiality between associates of #VoP and various rank and file #CBP agents, who #militia principals claim have enabled cross-border operations into Mexico.
3/ The piece places VoP in the broader context of #extremist militias like TX-based nativist militia Patriots for America who, in attempts to outbid rivals for material support, have resorted to more aggressive tactics by venturing into Mexico.

1) We did not initiate any disagreement with Isaac Kappy
We posted a thread exposing the child sex trafficking hoax fronted by @VeganMikey about Voodoo Doughnuts
We never mentioned Kappy in our 1st Voodoo Doughnuts thread

2) Kappy saw our thread and began attacking AOS & owner / producer Gabe Hoffman
Kappy went on Periscope & literally threatened violence the very next morning against him

3) Kappy and Vegan Mikey almost got a big score out of the Voodoo Doughnuts child sex trafficking hoax
A terminally ill man on his hospital deathbed pledged $75,000 to Mikey, with Kappy as trustee
We posted a link to the video, it is still on YouTube

We told you #VOP was a fraud from Day 1.
Why? Enabling convicted felons who make fraudulent claims about “rape trees” & “child sex trafficking” & “baby skulls”
By sending gift cards they trade for cash
Leads to this. Scary video
Great work @jjmacnab

Lewis Arthur, the leader of “Veterans on Patrol”, is shown in a disturbing video, cursing loudly and clearly not sober while his 9 year daughter is in the backseat of the vehicle he is driving. #VOP #BackyardBrawl = FRAUDS - as we told you from Day 1
If you really still have any doubts that #AnOpenSecret was right
warning many times
not to support Lewis Arthur with gift cards
watch this video by one of his followers
Arthur takes advantage of homeless Vets with severe mental & addiction issues
