Hugely unpopular pickup artist Roosh V, now on the final leg of his “world tour” in Canada, is apparently feeling a bit cocky in the wake of what he sees as the success of “Operation Medusa” — his not-terribly-well-conceived plan to convince the world he’s not a promoter of hate … by promoting a hateful dirty tricks campaign to scare his most outspoken critics in Montreal (and elsewhere in Canada) into silence.
So now, with his Montreal event scheduled for later today, he has launched a new campaign aimed at the same protesters, urging his followers to dress like “homosexual hipster[s] (i.e. male feminist[s])” in order to infiltrate today’s Demonstration Against Rape Culture, scheduled for noon in Montreal’s Norman Bethune Square.
No, really.
As he explains it in a post on his Return of Kings blog
“Operation Revelation” is a defensive operation to infiltrate all feminist protests on Saturday afternoon, take video of the crowd under the guise of being a fellow protester, and then have videos analyzed to identify the key ringleaders of the protest who make statements or actions showing they intend to break Canadian law.
So very sneaky.
In order to better blend in, Roosh tells his Montreal fans to show up with iPhones charged in
an outfit that looks like a person who has nothing going on with his or her life. To fit in seamlessly if you’re a man, dress like a homosexual hipster (i.e. male feminist). If you’re a woman, gain 30 pounds, dye your hair red, get three cat tattoos, and wear ugly clothing (i.e. contract Lindy West disease).
(Lindy West? Ugly clothes? Uh, Lindy West was just featured on MTV News as an “Inspiring Bride Obliterating Wedding Dress Stereotypes.” But I digress.)
Pretend you’re a protester by sharing your hatred of patriarchy, “rape culture,” and masculinity while casually filming the proceedings with your phone.
And then you’re supposed to send the footage to Roosh via Dropbox.
Do not challenge the protesters because they are mentally unstable and in all likelihood ready to use violence. Fit in with them instead, gain their trust, and film the proceedings casually. Your raw footage will be edited and shared online to help identify potentially threatening individuals. Private investigators will likely be hired to help with the analysis.
While Roosh is obviously being a bit facetious about the clothes, he’s serious about the filming. And it’s pretty clear Roosh and his cronies aren’t simply interested in filming protesters in order to protect themselves from violence or other illegal acts; they’re doing it to get a database of pictures of people they can identify — and smear, using whatever shred of dubious “evidence” of wrongdoing or wrongthinking they can find.
Indeed Roosh has started doing this already with some of the protest organizers; a post up today on RoK tries to portray one of his critics as a supporter of violence against Roosh — on the basis of a single Facebook “like” of hers.
The commenters on Roosh’s post are even more blunt about their desire to intimidate Roosh’s enemies. Ashan writes,
Even if everything goes well, and there are no confrontations, still do record the faces of protesters. Why? you may ask. Protesting is a legal right, you may say. Yes it is, and so is free speech. Using one legal right of yours to sabotage another legal right of another person is bigoted, and you must break the anonymity of these bigots and expose them at any cost. Fight fire with a bigger fire. Bring a gun to a knife fight. When you enemies are even a little bit defeated, don’t have any mercy. Crush them down, hard, to destroy them fully. Kill their very souls.
A commenter calling himself Cat5krusher adds
Infiltrate, divide, conquer, destroy from within. Hey Its worked for the F.B.I an the C.I.A for the last 50 years and seems to work for them. If you’re really good as an imposter catch them on tape on what the sjw’s plan on doing. Entrap and give the footage to the authorities.
Daniel Ramos complements Roosh’s “excellent plan,” explaining
I myself have contacted a few ex military friends who live in canada for support. A few of them promised to go to this demonstration in full hipster camo so they can blend right in. I’ve even asked some of them to act like moronic leftists so the rest of the plants can catch it all on camera lol.
No one will suspect a thing when your totally real ex military friends totally show up at the event in “hipster camo,” because that is a thing that totally will happen.
Roosh’s fans aren’t battle-hardened super spies. They’re angry assholes who like to talk shit online but have probably never even been to a demonstration in their lives. If they can even be bothered to get their asses to Norman Bethune square in the first place, they have about as much chance of “blending right in” with the protesters as Roosh has of winning the Nobel prize for literature.
And if you don’t believe me I have some tickets to a totally real feminist conference to sell you.
Real feminists are a lot smarter than these dudes think they are. And they have cameras too.
@anon
That’s funny, if tragic for the people who go to the demonstration.
I’m picturing a mob of guys who smell like Satan’s anus, dressed as Rocky Horror extras… No, that’s actually pretty tragic.
So manly!
…whereas Roosh, just by being here preaching sexism, racism, homophobia and false news, is already in violation of our laws. (Yes, that’s right — free speech is NOT an absolute right in Canada, and it’s a good thing, too.) In fact, this demo is aimed at the fact that he hasn’t been barred at the border, for precisely the fact that his blog advises breaking OUR laws. But trust him to be so “meta” as not to realize that…
Not to mention that he’s a felon in at least one country overseas. Pretty sure we don’t want self-admitted rapists on our turf here. Remember Julien Blanc?
In other words, fake demonstrators, just come as you are. Because it’s obvious that anyone taking Roosh seriously as a source of information really does have nothing going on in his life.
Plus, having seen what a crappy dresser Roosh is, I can’t imagine any of his little acolytes looking much better.
To fit in even MORE seamlessly, leave your cellphone behind, and stick a huge KICK ME sign on your back!
Uh-huh. Because the hallmarks of mental stability are bigotry, sexism, rapey attitudes, and male entitlement, natch. Besides, didn’t Roosh say he planned on being there himself to “fight them until I get arrested”? Who’s “ready to use violence”, again?
Translation: SEND ROOSH ALL YOUR MONEY, SUCKERS!
Ashan, there’s a word for what you’re doing here:

You, dude, ARE the bigot. AND the saboteur. And you’re defending a criminal.
Also, you intimidating protesters by photographing them or threatening to do so is NOT “using your free speech”. It’s you, SUPPRESSING THEIR RIGHT TO SPEAK. See how that works?
Pretty sure that’s counselling to commit crime right there. I hope the Montréal Police are taking notes.
COOL STORY, BRO. Assuming you didn’t make them up, I’m sure they’ll enjoy being caught on video themselves, by feminists and police, who will make sure that their future employers know just what kind of prize specimens they are.
Have fun, boyzzzzz!
Dress “like a person who has nothing going on with his or her life”, eh?
For example, one might show up in a greasy mop of hair, chin bedecked in a thick pelt of beard, projecting an air of resentment at the very concept of hygiene?
No, wait, that’s the costume of a supreme alpha incredibly satisfied with the direction his life philosophy has taken him.
I don’t think he understands how Canadian frozen peaches work.
Roosh Minion: “Hi ladies. My name is uh, um, uh Bob. Yeah! That’s it Bob. I am a male feminist.”
Protesters: “Okay… ”
RM: “Masculinity is evil! All sex is rape! Kill all men! Amirite ladies?”
P: “What?”
RM: “End fathers day! Free bleed!”
P: “We gotta go now.” *backs away slowly*
RM: “Huh. I wonder why I didn’t blend in?”

Seems like one could just as easily set up a camera right outside Roosh’s conferences to get a clear shot of each rapist in training in attendance. Post them online so women know who to avoid.
If I was God I would try to combine these faux feminist protesters with the faux feminist FemCon and see what happens. Could you imagine? A bunch of ROKers and TRPers going to a fake conference hosted by fake feminist speakers, and all of them thinking that they’re the only soopa seekrit spy in the whole place.
I’m a male feminist, and I don’t think anyone would have any difficulty distinguishing me from a gay hipster. Not even at first glance.
Blockquote Mammoth, please accept this offering from thine humble servant and spare the others your wrath!
@sunnysombrera:
TVtropes calls that a Flock of Wolves.
What’s so depressing about this whole thing for me is how transparently and openly Roosh is engaging in terrorism against any who would even critique them, openly calling for resources to sic endless waves of rape and death threats and all manner of illegal activity, but it’ll be treated as less serious than a wet fart, because the targets are women who speak out against sexism and because the main tool of creating fear is the internet.
And even more depressing? That Roosh is so transparent with this because he knows it works. This has been standard operating procedure for the MRAs for so long and he has tried to lasso himself on to the year-long terrorism campaign that has been gamergate and he knows inside and out that there are no social or legal consequences for openly creating a climate of fear for any who would speak out against you. Where getting feminists to go dark on the internet for fear of their safety is the entire point of the whole operation and where it is perfectly acceptable to ask his followers to find him new targets to harass.
If we lived in societies that even pretended to give a fuck about women as people this wouldn’t be possible, but instead, Roosh feels empowered to pull this shit right on his blog, in front of everyone, under his real name. Because he is absolutely in no fear that even a small fraction of consequences will fall back on him.
It’s just so disgusting and depressing.
Is this just in my mind or does that whole “fight fire with fire” rant sound suspiciously like the speech from ConanThe Barbarian? You know the one.
Oh, and those FBI and CIA tactics worked on organized crime because, one:: there were actual crimes being committed, which the members were attempting to hide, and two: the FBI and the CIA are full of intelligent people. See, intelligence is right there in the name of the CIA, and these yahoos he’s talking to, are thoroughly unequipped to do anything with intelligence.
So, any reports from any readers who happened to be in Montreal and attended the demonstrations? Curious minds, etc etc. I hope it was a success!
Was at the protest, some dudebros did show up, were promptly identified and kicked out.
“an outfit that looks like a person who has nothing going on with his or her life. To fit in seamlessly if you’re a man, dress like a homosexual hipster (i.e. male feminist). If you’re a woman, gain 30 pounds, dye your hair red, get three cat tattoos, and wear ugly clothing (i.e. contract Lindy West disease).”
I think the interesting thing to note here is that he asks the women to put twice as much effort into there disguises. Evan up to getting tattoos. So basically even his advice towards sneaking into a feminist rally rely entirely on patriarchy.
EJ, thanks for the link to TVTropes.
Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we have honest to Bob hipsters. The look is not as easy to simulate as Doosh seems to believe. The hair (head and face) alone would take a movie makeup artist hours.
That’s a good point, Zeb. I’m also not clear on how they’re supposed to gain 30 pounds in a couple of days. That’s not physically possible.
“Do not challenge the protesters because they are mentally unstable and in all likelihood ready to use violence. … Private investigators will likely be hired to help with the analysis.”
I thought “likely” meant “having a good chance of occurring” or “having a high probability.” … Maybe my dictionary’s just too beta.
Well, considering that the only feminist they think exists is made with enough straw to thatch a recreation of a medieval village, yeah.
I imagine every conversation Roosh has ever had with a stranger has gone something like this:
Roosh: Everybody’s a beta cuck but meeeeeee
Normal person: Get the fuck out of my office, weirdo. How did you even get in here? Security!
@WWTH
With fat suits, of course! If they can’t find a real one they can make one at home with dry goods from the pantry (that place in their mother’s kitchen with all the shelves, canned goods, and sacks of flour/sugar etc…) and a little creativity! As for the tattoos, if they weren’t so skeevy and stinky they might know a MUA (makeup artist) or two who would be willing to spend the time necessary in close proximity to their unwashed flesh to apply their craft creating fake ones for them.
One of the strangest contradictions of Jim Jones… errr… I mean, Roosh, is his far right wing position on “traditional” gender roles, and his PUA persona. Sleeping around is not exactly one of the main tenets of social conservatism, but of course, contradictions and self awareness ain’t exactly big with his cohort.
Also, all this attention he’s getting right now can’t be any good. I believe the fool should go the way of the dodo, but I feel this is only going to attract more converts to his cult. The manosphere loves “martyrs” because its great spin for their reactionary, conspiratorial outlook.
