So, who is ARC and how did we learn his identity? He had a twitter feed account which was open for all to see. That's were we started. A quick IP search from there quickly discovered that he was from the Calgary Alberta area. Now, it was simply a case of watching his feed. Sometimes, the things you find, are not found when you're looking for them, but rather, little bits of otherwise useless information do paint a decent picture. For example:
This on its own means nothing, its useless as information on its own, however, this does at the very least, start to paint a picture.
Oil Patch worker, bouncer .... anything else ?
Here he tell us how old he is. We also knew he liked to travel to exotic locations, and in fact over the past year, he went to one such place for a few weeks.
So the picture painted here, is of a middle age male, in fairly decent shape based on his past oil field work experience and, as a bouncer. OK, we have his ID narrowed down to about 250,000 men in Calgary. He was at times referred to as Chris in conversations, and this "name" was also used in a now famously unfortunate CBC interview. But, like any other story written by him, the facts are not always as they appear, for "Chris " was NOT his name at all.
A more exhaustive search was started about seven months ago, going through court records. Why? because it was thought that with what he has written in the past, someone may have taken legal action against him. THAT proved to be a dead end because we found no evidence of legal action against him per se, however, we DID find his name in an unrelated court document from a case totally unrelated . We sat on this information for several months , looking for and collecting evidence to support our new found claim. We had photographs of him but we also knew that he was cunning and these photographs too can be misdirection. His "Chris Smith" persona was exactly that, even using a different image to throw people off. Then came the big break through .... thanks to the CBC. They aired this documentary and it was game over for "Chris" The CBC tried, very poorly it seems , to blur our his face . But , they left it clear enough to get a decent working image, plus, unblurred close ups clearly confirmed it WAS HIM .... NO MISTAKE. So, no "Chris Smith" as he was referred to in that CBC interview, but instead he turned out to be:
... but also to step away from his role at ARC, to start and even more dangerous position with:
This is were I introduce you to Evan Balgord .
Evan Balgord is not who he appears to be. Balgord is a very well connected player in the Antifa movement, but not as an "on the ground anarchist who wants to smash things. Evan started his "career" working the Mayor of Toronto, John Tory.
He was also the " security " for Kevin Metcalf. Security? Yes, but not in the traditional sense. Balgord would go with metcsalf to the same events, and while Metcalf was photographing events , many times with the intended purpose of instigating an altercation, Balgord would be there solely to document Metcalf and his alleged assaults against him ... alleged because no one ever did assault him. Metclaf did this to try and lay criminal charged against to opposing side and then he would try and sue them, using Balgords photographs as "proof ". Here are a few other images of Balgord:
So far we see the connection between Balgord and Metcalf. Balgord went to work for the Anti Hate network, an organization , built around the SPLS ( southern poverty law society ) , where low and behold, he is the " executive director . In his position , many suspect that he is one who , from behind his proverbial desk, watches potential planned actions of certain groups, organizes counter protests and then sits back and watches as his plans come to fruition. Then once he has what he needs to begin his task of falsely vilifying innocent people, he then communicated that with Kurt Philips.
This is Nora Loretto, one of most vile of "journalists" you will ever come across. She suggested that the Humbolt Hockey deserved to die in the bus crash because they were white males. People, I cant make stuff like this up:
This is Meagan Kinch a hard core anarcho-communist and hater of all things civilized.
