Lets begin with the Rise Above Movement. The group was originally called the DIY Division but changed it’s name in 2017. This group is based out of Orange County and San Diego and their founder is Robert Rundo. To summarize their ideology, they are Neo Nazis that have a fight club. They train to engage in fights, hand to hand combat, ect. They believe in physically beating down their enemies.After digging further into Rundo we found an alarming amount of ties between him and Ukraine and specifically the Azov Battalion. Rundo at one point was living in many European countries like Serbia and Bosnia and took many trips to Germany, Ukraine and Italy with some of his members. Below is a picture of Rundo fighting a member of the Azov Battalion in Kyiv.Now who was Rundo meeting specifically in the Ukraine? This brings us to Olena Semenyaka.What business was discussed?RAM was hosted by Olena Semenyaka, head of the National Corps, the political wing of the Azov Battalion, a unit of the Ukrainian National Guard with neo-Nazi and white supremacist affiliations.[20] Semenyaka later stated that Rundo and his compatriots “came to learn our ways” and “showed interest in learning how to create youth forces in the ways Azov has.”[21] During their visit, the RAM members joined the Azov Battalion for sparring at the Reconquista Club, an mixed martial arts (MMA) club affiliated with the group.[22] Rundo entered an MMA competition for white supremacists from across Europe, supposedly the first American to take part in the history of the event.[23] While in Kiev, Rundo also got a tattoo of the Viking warrior logo of White Rex, a clothing label founded by Russian MMA fighter and Azov Battalion associate Denis Nikitin.[24] –CISAC SauceOlena has a knack for radicalizing westerners as can be described from the FBI court records. She was dead set on these men, “learning their ways”.It is important to note that the Rise Above Movement was heavily targeted by the US government for their skirmishes with mostly white Antifa in Charlottesville, VA, and Berkeley, CA.Similarly, disgraced Alt-Right leader, Richard Spencer, has not shied away from openly supporting the neo-nazi group, while promoting President Biden’s policies regarding the conflict in Ukraine. SaucePatriot Front was started by a man named Thomas Rousseau right after the Charlottesville riot went terribly bad. RAM were not the only neo nazi groups in “Unite The Right” rally in Charlottesville that day. Vangaurd America was another group present that day that was involved in the violence in which Rousseau was a leader of. Rousseau took the section of Vanguard America, about 70-80% of the group (called the Southern Front) and changed that to what we know as the Patriot Front today. Rousseau basically gutted the group and infighting and other issues led to Vangaurd America dissolving.Something very important to note here is that Rousseau was 17 when he formed Patriot Front. Olena taught Rundo how to proficiently organize younger impressionable minds and the way to do that back then (according to the fbi doc) was discord servers and groups. You will see that proofed later in the article. This prior arrest report reflects Rousseau’s age from an arrest he had in Texas in 2020 so we could verify his age. SauceA very interesting picture we were able to catch from the most recent coverage of the Patriot Front arrests in Idaho was this picture here from the video. A few of the members were wearing these shirts with the Knight Templars logo on it. Interestingly enough these shirts are made by a merchandise shop owned by Robert Mundo (head of Rise Above Movement). 1st photo below is of the arrest of the Patriot Front wearing that shirt. 2nd photo is the screenshot from the merch store. SauceThe problem with all of this still is that the United States government inadvertently trains these groups as proven above, uses these vile groups to paint a broad brush on the entire America First movement and makes regular law abiding citizens enemy number 1. FBI doesn’t have to infiltrate every group like we know they did with the Proud Boys, Ray Epps, Stuart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers. They got their narrative with Jan6 and we know Ukrainian operatives like Sergei Dybynyn were there as well. Any group can be infiltrated. MSource:  scottdegroat.substack.comScotty D’s Info Bombs is a reader-supported publication.
