Over the weekend, the Asatru Folk Assembly, a whites-only heathen organization, dedicated a new gathering place, "ThorsHof", in Linden, North Carolina.

The Asatru Folk Assembly has extremely close ties to organized white nationalism & has only gotten worse in recent years. Image
The Asatru Folk Assembly also established a third "hof" (temple) in Minnesota this month.

(The AFA's first hof is in Brownsville, California.)
Cumberland County, NC records show that the Linden property was purchased by Svan Herul earlier this year, then officially transferred to the racist heathen org.

Herul of Virginia Beach, VA is an Asatru Folk Assembly gothi (priest) & has now been promoted to AFA's Witan (Board). Image
There were some familiar faces at the Linden, NC dedication.

Here's Brandon Trent East of Georgia in the cap with Asatru Folk Assembly head Matt Flavel.

We exposed East last year. He is now a "folkbuilder" or recruiter for the AFA.
Image
We've pointed out that East - who was in the National Guard and then worked as a jailer until we exposed him - keeps some interesting company.

Here is East (L) with Matthew Ryan Burchfield (R), a neo-Nazi who later joined The Base and traveled to Ukraine.
Image
Robert Stamm (L) took his "folkbuilder" oath at the Linden, NC dedication.

Stamm was fired last year from the Virginia Capitol Police following an exposé by @ash_antifa.

Oh look! It's Joshua Keith Williams of South Carolina on the left.

Last year, @avlantiracism exposed Williams as a member of the white nationalist organization Identity Evropa (now rebranded as the American Identity Movement.)

10.16.2023 - Statement by Atlanta Antifascists ()

Atlanta Antifascists stands in solidarity with the people of Palestine. We condemn all targeting of civilians in war, no matter what nationality or religion. We have no sympathy for Hamas, whose original atlantaantifa.org
Image
(1988) charter was unambiguously antisemitic, and whose slaughter of civilians is abhorrent. We also broadly believe in the Palestinian right to self-determination. As US citizens, we recognize that many of the weapons currently killing Palestinian children were supplied by
our government, and believe that all US citizens have the same moral duty to oppose US-funded state terrorism and war crimes by Israel.

The recent murder of a Palestinian-American 6-year-old by an Islamophobe underlines how important it is to fight against the dehumanization

NEW REPORT: "Inside Southern Sons Active Club"

Three months ago, we started infiltrating Southern Sons Active Club, a racist group active in Georgia and the Carolinas. In this major report, we identify over a dozen neo-Nazis and highlight violent plots.

White nationalist Andrew Jacob Schwam of Albertville, Alabama died in an accident while working as a lineman on March 18th.

Schwam was active as a white supremacist under the online aliases "George Goy", "Joseph Warren", and "Samuel GA".

He was part of Patriot Front as (1/4)
"Samuel GA" a couple of years ago, while living in northwest Georgia.

Leaked Patriot Front messages refer to him possibly rejoining that organization after his move to Alabama:

More recently, Schwam helped the White Lives Matter racist project in (2/4)
Alabama.

Schwam's history as an active white supremacist explains why the racist/antisemitic National Justice Party has been making propaganda over his death, and why a fundraiser for his family has been doing the rounds on racist Telegram channels.

Good riddance to this (3/4)

Thanks, this question is a great opportunity to articulate an antifascist principle in the tradition of ARA and the Torch Network. One of our basic principles is, "we go where they go" which means we follow fascists wherever they go, both physically and information-wise. (1/13)
"We go where they go" means both physical space and information space. Fascists should never feel secure on home ground and should never have a safe space. In the modern day, they recruit and propagandize on Gab, Twitter, Telegram, even Roblox. We follow them there. (2/13)
If the ground is positive to our side we counter them directly, if the ground is neutral we try to deplatform them, if the ground is against us we watch and wait for weaknesses we can exploit in other areas. We report on their attack plans in order to warn our communities. (3/13)

New article on the "Nations in Action" conference at the Georgia Tech Conference this weekend containing a deep dive on many terrible speakers (including virulent antisemites and literal piss drinkers) and their GOP political connections. This should never have been approved.
These speakers are not just harmless cranks: they're pushing conspiracies with a body count (like QAnon and "sovereign citizens") and peddling fake COVID cures.
According to this article, @GeorgiaTech is cowardly ducking responsibility. They need to stand up and kick out the conference to stop these conspiracist bigots from profiting off the GA Tech name. ajc.com/news/investiga…
