About

Ben Garrison is a libertarian political cartoon artist known for creating illustrations about United States political corruption and various conspiracy theories, who has been the subject of a troll campaign by users of 4chan's /pol/ (politics) board who have attempted to frame him as a Nazi sympathizer.

Online History

On December 15th, 2006, Garrison launched the Garrison Graphics blog on Blogspot.[3]

Cartoon Defacement

On August 22nd, 2010 Garrison released a cartoon titled "The March of Tyranny" on his personal blog,[2] featuring a walking Illuminati pyramid with a Democrat left leg and a Republican right leg (shown below).


BEN O THE MARCH of TYRANNY GARRI50N 8/21/aoIo bengarrison.com OW!! NEXT TIME ILL UGH! NEXT TIME ILL OTE DEMOCRAT/ VOTE REPUBLICAN United States of America cartoon

"My cartoon […] shows how the banking and corporate masters (crony capitalist fascists) control both major parties behind the scenes. They keep us distracted with left vs. right while giving us the illusion that voting for one of the other parties will solve things. It won't."

An edited variation of the comic began circulating on 4chan featuring the antisemitic Happy Merchant illustration superimposed over the pyramid (shown below).

On May 22nd, 2011, Garrison published a blog post titled "GRRR-ALERT!",[1] claiming that an "unknown cretin" was defacing his web cartoons with depictions of "offensive Jewish stereotypes." Following this, many of Garrison's cartoons were subsequently altered to depict Garrison as a Nazi (shown below).

On April 19th, 2013, a page for Garrison was launched on Encyclopedia Dramatica,[5] which refers to Garrison as a member of Stormfront and credits him with creating antisemitic and racists cartoons. On April 9th, 2014, a page for Garrison was created on the wiki site Metapedia, which notes that his cartoons have been altered into antisemitic parodies. On December 28th, 2014, the 8chan Twitter[6] feed posted a DMCA notice sent from Garrison ordering the take down of several cartoon defacements (shown below).

On December 8th, 2014, Garrison launched a page on GoFundMe[8] to support his legal fund to pursue legal action about sites like 4chan and Reddit for not removing "libel" against him.

8chan Thread

On April 28th, 2015, Garrison answered questions in a thread on the /pol/ board on 8chan (shown below). That evening, Garrison published a post on his personal blog[7] confirming he had commented on the image board.

I see the kid as suffering a huge inequity in life and he is living in a virtual hell. Still, Id like to see him become a tad more responsible and respectful. I think he will with age. I actually wish him well I engaged in a wee bit of fun conversation and banter with the folks on 8chan/pol/ tonight. It was actually fun. Some of the kids there were smart and had some kind things to say.

When the cartoons were reworked to be ZOG destroying masterpieces, somebody probably found Ben's picture and history was made at that moment a legend was born. 2 He basically "is" what everyone wants to picture when they hear Harold Covington (instead of a chubby colonel sanders in a military surplus shirt). He is more than a man, he is a Symbol Ben Garrison you're my hero. I love you. It was cuckchan that did this not 8ch. I support you.
