Jack Posobiec publicly spreads racist statements and repeats Russian propaganda.

American ministers are accompanied on their trips abroad on Ukraine issues by neo-Nazi blogger Jack Posobiec, who promotes racial theories and openly spreads Russian propaganda, the Washington Post reports, citing documents and sources. 

Posobiec is accompanying U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on his first trip abroad to Europe, where he is scheduled to visit Germany, Belgium, and Poland. Earlier this week, Posobiec accompanied U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on a visit to Ukraine and was apparently present for a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

As the Russian opposition project “Important Stories” writes , Jack Posobiec is an American of Polish descent, the creator of the far-right website Human Events and the host of his own podcast with a multi-million audience. In the past, he served in US Navy intelligence, and then began to actively cooperate with American and Polish “open neo-Nazis”, the project claims. In particular, Posobiec was in contact with the well-known supporter of the ideas of “white supremacy” Richard Spencer and the movement of Polish skinheads, whose representatives have been fighting in Donbass since 2014 on the side of Russia.

Posobiec calls himself a “new rightist” and promotes the theory that “white genocide” is taking place in the world today. At the same time, the blogger is known for actively participating in political disinformation campaigns against US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016. At that time, the campaign was based on Clinton’s correspondence stolen by Russian intelligence services. 

Later, Posobiec advertised books by the notorious ideologist of the “Russian world” Alexander Dugin on social networks, in which he called on the Kremlin to fan racial discord in the United States in order to destroy America. The blogger also advertised the FSB-linked website Southfront, which presents Russian propaganda about the events in Crimea and Donbass.

Posobiec also retold the Russian fake about American biolabs in Ukraine and denied war crimes by Russian soldiers in Bucha.

Last year, during a rally in support of the 2021 Capitol rioters, Posobiec gave a speech in which he stated, in particular:

“Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely.”
