Meet Corey Rayburn Lequieu, born April 17, 1970, a white nationalist , QAnon supporter, and member of the Three Percent Militia living in Carson City, NV. We feel that Corey’s choice to uphold the tenets of white supremacy is a threat to our community at large. You, the residents of Carson City, Truckee Meadows, and the greater Northern Nevada region should know more about Corey in order to unite against the growing threat of racism and fascism.
Black Lives Matter
Corey is an anti-masker and frequently attends rallies in Carson City and was seen at the BLM rallies in Reno on May 30, 2020, and June 7, 2020. At the Believe Plaza in downtown Reno on May 30, Corey was seen standing off with BLM supporters who were asking him to say that black lives matter. Instead, he stood his ground and repeatedly claimed that “All Lives Matter”, a reactionary slogan for white nationalists in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
The following week, on June 7, 2020, Corey was observed in full military clown kit with approximately a dozen or more members from the III% and Northern Nevada Light Foot militias in and around downtown Reno to “keep the peace” at the BLM vigil. Additionally, some 100 or so bikers showed up, appearing agitated and eager for a fight with the vigil attendees while the militia member stood by idly.Ties to White Nationalism
Corey clearly has an affinity for the Confederacy. In addition to his Twitter avatar, he has posted several images on Facebook showing expressing his love for the Confederate flag (Fig 4-6).
Ties to QAnonymous Conspiracy Cult
With every diehard Trump supporting, evangelical Christian (Fig. 8) comes support for the QAnonymous cult (Fig 9).
Military Service
Corey seems to have joined the Army in the late 1980s (Fig 10) and eventually went on to become an 82nd Airborne Division soldier (Fig 11).
Right to Bear Arms
In May 2016, Corey plead guilty, and signed a plea agreement, for Conspiracy to impede officers of United States, a felony. We surmise this is for involvement with the Bundy Occupation in Oregon. In pleading guilty, he forfeited his right to bear arms. We were unable to confirm how much time he spent in federal prison or if he has become a federal informant as part of his plea agreement. In short, if he is caught with firearms, whether privately in his home or out in public, he is committing a federal crime and felony.
Militia Membership
We realize not all III% Militia chapters lean towards white nationalism, however, we are aware that many chapters do. It is obvious the III% Militia needs to clean house.
In light of Corey’s affinity for white nationalism and his felony conviction, this begs the question of whether or not he really is a III% Militia member and, if so, whether or not the local chapter accepts felons and white nationalists within their ranks.
Political Affiliation
According to publicly accessible voter records, as of Oct 2019, he is an actively registered republican in the municipality of Carson City, NV (Fig 15). Please note, this voter record incorrectly reports his age as 49 years. His previous, inactive voter registration from Churchill County correctly reports his age as 50.
Conclusion
We post documentation like this to keep our communities safe and aware of potential threats. The police won’t do anything to protect us from fascists and white supremacists so it is on us to help defend our communities from the growing threats of fascism and white supremacy.
