(THREAD) Last week, we warned about longtime neo-Nazi Chester Doles organizing a "Trump" rally, scheduled for 9/14 in Dahlonega, Georgia.

Yesterday, Bikers for Trump withdrew from the planned rally.

Let's have a closer look at Doles' circles & his recent planning for the event.
(For those who missed our initial alert, see here:
atlantaantifa.org/2019/08/16/ale…)
Chester Doles claims that he is not legally the rally organizer, since Doles withdrew his initial permit application. A new rally permit has a different name on it - a contact serving as a front for Doles.

Yet it's clear Doles is still main 9/14 organizer from his constant posts
Note that Doles is promising an "after party" on the 14th. These "after party" events bring their own risks of racist violence.

Also note that Doles is enthusiastic about vehicles being used for "crowd control" at the September 14 rally.
What Chester Doles means by "crowd control" is clear from a Facebook post from a few days earlier.

City of Dahlonega does not appear to be warning residents.
Doles is also setting up "security" for the rally.

We noted in our initial alert that the rally's "security" is getting ready for violence. The security team will likely involve Doles' white power associates.
Let's have a look at some people in Doles' circles.

Jeremy Wade of North Georgia, who operates the Grassy to Classy Lawn Care company, has been "liking" many of Doles' posts about the September 14 rally.

Here is Wade "liking" Dole's recent post about the "security detail".
A 2016 photo on Wade's account shows Wade wearing a hat for Crew 38, the supporter club for the racist Hammerskins gang. As documented in our alert, Chester Doles also linked to Crew 38.

Wade may have toned down his racist involvement in recent years, but it seems he's back now.
Of course, there are many more white supremacists on Doles' account.

This Georgia guy announces on his Facebook that he's with the Klan.
Here's a Kentucky Klansman commenting on Doles' account.

(Facebook masthead is historic Klan flag.)
Gabriel John Sacraceno also likes Doles' posts.

Sacraceno is a murderer who founded the racist "Soldiers of Odin Heiðinn Division" following his release from prison.

Sacraceno (AKA Strider Rögnirhár) now lives in Missouri. We wrote about him last year:
atlantaantifa.org/2018/10/03/geo…
Scroll through enough of Doles' posts and... predictably enough, there's Greg Calhoun. "Thor Forrest" is one of Calhoun's many FB accounts.

Calhoun led the International Keystone Knights KKK in Georgia. Also with League of the South.

More on Calhoun:

In addition to Chester Doles promoting the Dahlonega rally on Facebook, other white supremacists are also spreading the word.

For example, ShieldWall Network leader Billy Roper has been telling his associates to attend Doles' rally.

Screencap from VK, a Russian social network.
These accounts "liked" Billy Roper's VK post which urged attendance at Doles' 9/14 Dahlonega rally.
If you want to read about Jovi Val who "liked" Roper's post, here's some information from @RightWingWatch earlier this year:
rightwingwatch.org/post/jovi-val-…
Other "likers": Kynan and Deborah Dutton were once involved in an attempted white supremacist takeover of a small North Dakota town:
bbc.com/news/magazine-…

Kynan Dutton is now an East Tennessee coordinator for Ropers' ShieldWall Network.
itsgoingdown.org/neo-nazis-cras…
This guy is also in Tennessee & liked Roper's announcement about Dahlonega.

Of course, a mere "like" on social media does not mean someone will travel to Dahlonega for Doles' rally.

But big picture is clear: white supremacists organizing for 14th & being recruited for it.
We will be monitoring this situation closely as the 14th approaches and will share any news of responses by North Georgia residents.

GA’s 9th District Republicans must still publicly clarify their stance on the Nazi-organized "Trump" rally. Info here:

Before reinventing himself as a preppier white nationalist, Allen Michael Goff was a key figure in the Montana Front & the Creativity Movement, where he organized for "racial holy war".

Goff got off on a 2010 shooting after a judge disallowed evidence of his racist commitments.
(He was fined and got a small fine for his concealed weapon: billingsgazette.com/news/local/cri…)

Goff was arrested later the same year for pointing a firearm at & threatening to kill another person.

The Montana Human Rights Network @MTHumanRights deserve a lot of credit for carefully documenting and speaking out about Goff's "Creativity Movement" organizing a dozen years ago.

THREAD: The last two defendants from "The Base" murder conspiracy in GA were sentenced today, to six and thirteen years respectively. A third defendant was sentenced to twenty years on Wednesday.

Here's some background on the neo-Nazi murder conspiracy.
Luke Austin Lane, the leader of the Georgia cell, believed that the couple he was targeting for murder were "affiliated" with Atlanta Antifascists.

Murdering the couple was meant as punishment for antifascists identifying neo-Nazis.

(Text: from affidavit in support of arrests.) Image
Neither of the targets were members of our group.

However, one of them was listed a series on Brad Griffin's racist Occidental Dissent website purporting to expose "Georgia Antifa[scists]". The series heavily suggested those listed were part of our org.

Michael John Helterbrand of "The Base" white supremacist murder conspiracy in Georgia will enter a guilty plea later today at Floyd County Superior Court.

Helterbrand and two others conspired to murder a Georgia couple who they believed to be part of Atlanta Antifascists. Image
Helterbrand's co-defendants in the Georgia conspiracy case, Luke Austin Lane and Jacob Oliver Kaderli, both have motion hearings on Friday.

However the court has not specified the nature of the motion. ImageImage
One of the people targeted by The Base's murder conspiracy had earlier been listed in articles by racist propagandist Bradley Dean Griffin, which claimed to expose "Georgia Antifa[scists]". Griffin strongly suggested those being named were part of our org.

Longtime neo-Nazi Michael Carothers (AKA Michael Weaver) poses with racist & antisemitic US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene at today's "anti-[vax] mandate" rally in Rome GA.

Carothers has served a sentence for attacking Black man in Columbus GA. He attended 2017's "Unite the Right". Image
Carothers has been involved in hardcore white supremacist organizations such as the World Church of the Creator & the National Alliance.

His "White Information Network" blog--finally taken down by blogspot this year--supported racist bombers and murders.

Yesterday, Real America's Voice held an event in Cartersville GA.

Neo-Nazi Michael Carothers ("Michael Weaver") asked Bartow Co. Board of Education chair Derek Keeney--now running for State Senate--about "anti-white discrimination".

Keeney pandered to the Nazi's talking point.
Carothers/Weaver is a longtime white supremacist who was active in organizations such as the World Church of the Creator and the National Alliance.

He has a conviction for attacking a Black man in Columbus, Georgia.
Carothers attended 2017's "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, VA alongside white power propagandist Brad Griffin.

The "Christian Veterans United" conference featuring Jew- and women-hater Roosh Valizadeh has now been canceled.

Anti-trans writer Michael Robillard was the conference's public face. But someone named Jason was "event coordinator" according to correspondence. Who is Jason? A 🧵. Image
Michael Robillard referred to a "business partner" and veteran, "David Wilson," who was helping bring Valizadeh to metro ATL. archive.is/qMIch

"David Wilson" is a conveniently common name. Someone with that name may have been involved but Jason seemed to do the real work. Image
The phone number listed by Jason in his "Christian Veterans United" correspondence seems to be a VoIP number with a generic voicemail message. It wouldn't be surprising if Jason also used other numbers.
