Second Sons, meanwhile, is an “active club in everything except the name,” said Lamoureux.
It promotes itself as a fraternity based on the aptitude based on European culture. But unlike NS13, there is no Nazi iconography in the internet content of the second children. Beyond its use of the red Ensign, the group refers to the great replacement, the theory of conspiracy that whites are being driven to extinction.
The second children left Diagolon, which RCMP has described as an “extremist militia organization.”
CBC communicated with Second Sons through the group’s email address and received a response from Morgan Guptill, partner of the founder of Diagolon, Jeremy Mackenzie. Guptill’s email firm referred to her as “Queen of Diagolon.” She said she doesn’t speak on behalf of the second children.
In the email, Guptill said he did not understand “why” men “in this country do not support other men who regularly meet to improve their physical and mental well -being, as the second children do. Nor do I understand why anyone in this country with an intellectual coefficient greater than 80 would, at least, a complete moratorium in immigration given the current economic tracajoria.”
There are no indications that the places where training is happening are neo -fascist paradises. Some, like Niagara BJJ in Welland, where Second Sons members took a group photo, are proud to train a diverse community of people, including children.
Kevin Mans, the owner of Niagara BJJ in Welland, said that as soon as he saw the photos that CBC shared, he called his staff and told them that these members of the second children could not return. Mans said that without knowing it, someone had reserved a private event and used the facilities in May.
Lamouareux said this demonstrates how active clubs and adjacent movements infiltrate martial arts spaces.
“The fact that the owner of the gym does not know they were training [there] It doesn’t surprise me at all, “Lamoureux said.” It simply demonstrates how manipulators are these groups, which are going to lie about what they are doing. “
