Everyone say hello to Deseret Nationalist Athen Joseph Jensen, 26, of Highland, Utah. Athen is an all around bigot, antisemite, homophobe, misogynist, and a huge fan of white nationalism.

Recently, he became part of a DezNat's city council campaign team. #utpol

CONTENT WARNING

Racism, misogyny, queerphobia, antisemitism, references to violence. As disturbing as this content is, it's important to show examples of this person’s hateful ideology in his own words, rather than simply describing it.

The stated purpose of Deseret nationalism is to create a Mormon, or Deseretian, ethnostate ruled by a theodemocracy so when we see DezNats getting into politics that is deeply concerning.

Learn more about Deseret nationalism / DezNat by reading our guide:

It was easy to confirm Athen Jensen's ID because of his obvious lack of OPSEC.

Content Warning: ableist slur from @gregforcouncil #utpol

Athen is friends with other fascist and racist Deseret Nationalists like "Mond" and Nima Cheraghi. He hangs out with them in real life.

Note the "dezbollah" hashtag which is a portmanteau of DezNat and H*zbollah.

We previously exposed Nima here:

We were also able to identify Deseret nationalist Athen Jensen by his gawdy rifle magazine in this IRL meetup of Dezbollah fash.

The flag they are holding up is the DezFash flag. Note the fasces below the beehive. "Deseret" is a Book of Mormon word meaning "honey bee."

Athen Jensen is really into the beehive/fasces combo which his DezNat friend, "Mond", makes.

CW: antisemitism

Athen Jensen likes a variety of pages including the highly racist and antisemitic Facebook page "Bastechef" which comes as no surprise considering Athen is a racist and raging antisemite himself. Note the sonnenrad. He did not accidentally like this page.

CW: antisemitism

DezNat Athen Jensen also recommends the "Protocols" for reading.

The Protocols are a fabricated racist and antisemitic text that describes a Jewish plan for global domination; Hitler used the Protocols to justify his hatred of Jews. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Proto…

CW: antisemitism

Athen's antisemitism is also prevalent on Twitter.

CW: misogyny, queerphobia

Misogyny is a feature of the far right, and so it comes as no surprise that Athen Jensen is also a misogynist.

CW: racism

Athen Jensen is racist.

Notice in the 1st screen that he is replying to Stefan Molyneux, a Canadian far-right white nationalist & white supremacist who is well known for his promotion of conspiracy theories, scientific racism, eugenics, and racist views.

CW: racial slur

Athen Jensen participated with other Deseret nationalists / DezNats in a racist "N" tower under his previous savage_athen twitter handle:

Athen Jensen is also a big fan of white nationalist Nick Fuentes who was recently kicked off Twitter.

Fuentes is a key figure in the "Groyper" movement, a loose network of alt right figures who are vocal supporters of white supremacist and “America First” figure Nick Fuentes

CW: homophobia

DezNat Athen Jensen is also a raging homophobe.

CW: reference to violence
