NoKings.org has emerged as a highly controversial website that has gained significant attention online. Notably, it appears to be facilitating organized protests and confrontations across major and minor cities throughout the United States and extending into Mexico. This platform has been hosted by GoDaddy, a web development service that has previously faced criticism for denying hosting services to numerous conservative websites.
The site allows users to input their zip code, subsequently providing access to Zoom meetings with local riot coordinators. Additionally, there are larger Zoom sessions featuring national Democratic leaders who outline strategies for resisting law enforcement and provide guidance on how to navigate legal frameworks. Within these local meetings, participants receive explicit instructions on what supplies to bring, including gas masks, radios, ropes for circumventing police lines, first aid kits, megaphones, and even advice on acquiring fireworks.
They also suggest using Vaseline as a protective barrier against chemical irritants. Participants are encouraged to look on Craigslist for financial compensation as “contractors,” with the implication that they should possess a certain toughness and resilience under pressure. Discussions in private chat groups have even included the use of box cutters for slashing tires.
This situation represents a profound challenge to the fabric of our nation. It raises critical questions about why major tech companies, including Google, are permitting such activities to persist. The identity of the website’s owner remains undisclosed, adding to the concerns surrounding its operations.
A forthcoming Zoom meeting is scheduled for June 16th, with an expectation that discussions will continue for over 24 hours. The invitation states, “Join us Monday, June 16th, to debrief and discuss strategies for the next confrontation.” The phrase “next confrontation” suggests a readiness to engage in violence, raising alarms about the motivations behind recruiting individuals described as “badass.”
