I found out about the “American Banderite Network” because I wanted to learn more about a neo-Nazi Azov flag that recently appeared at the Ukrainian Independence Day festival in Toronto. It decorated the booth of a volunteer organization rooted in a private Facebook group, in which I found a picture (seen above) of the same flag at a pro-Azov rally in Toronto. This one is unusual because it’s the flag of the Azov Battalion, when it was still a proudly neo[fascist] unit, and features the sonnenrad and wolfsangel symbols that created PR problems for the Azov movement.
It turned out not to be the only time that Benson has shown up to an Azov solidarity protest in Canada with a skull mask and the more rarely seen flag of the Patriot of Ukraine, the neo[fascist] paramilitary organization that spawned the Azov Battalion. “Don’t think of me or Kievan Rus [i.e. Benson] as the ‘all powerful leaders.’ We are merely the ones who inspired the whole thing,” the “Romanian guy” once said about the ABN.
The Canadian Anti-Hate Network has reported that Ben Mockler, or “Aquila,” is a former member of the Church of Aryanity, not to mention a neo[fascist] “cult recruiter” and “active club” organizer in Ottawa “for the world’s largest white power gang.” Mockler appeared on the “Fashcroft” livestream with Boneface and Hammer. He asked Kent McLellan about the possibility of a neo[fascist]i coup in Ukraine when the war ends. “Like honestly, this is a situation I don’t even want to talk about, if that makes sense…” McLellan said. “That’s my answer, if you catch what I’m saying.”
