phantom patriot

The ultimate "Make America Great Again" vigilante hero you never knew you needed. Enter Richard McCaslin, a guy who took conspiracy theories way too seriously. In 2002, he donned a homemade superhero costume (think Batman meets Duck Dynasty) and decided to storm Bohemian Grove, a fancy retreat for the rich and powerful, convinced it was a hotbed of elite shenanigans and occult rituals.

Armed to the teeth and ready to dish out some old-fashioned justice, our fearless Phantom Patriot planned to expose the secrets of the elite and save America. Instead, he ended up providing a prime example of how not to conduct a covert operation. The police found him skulking around the woods, and instead of liberating the nation, he found himself liberating a jail cell.

McCaslin’s adventure serves as a reminder that sometimes the best way to "Make America Great Again" is to just stick to voting and leave the superhero stuff to Marvel.
