November 27, 2024: Our X/Twitter account (@threadreaderapp) got hacked and unrolls aren't working right now. We appreciate your patience until this is resolved.
1. I'm pleased to introduce you to Christian Stacy Hamilton, who is a young pillar of the community in Toccoa, GA and is/was a member of the SPLC listed hate group Identity Dixie.
2. Christian is the Manager at @MainStToccoa, an adjunct Professor at @ToccoaFalls, is a board member of @GaDowntownAssoc and serves on the Toccoa-Stephens County Leadership Board.
3. Christian first came to my attention in the leaked membership list to the Smokehouse vetting channel for Identity Dixie.
4. But Christian had a small digital footprint and his public posts weren't as overt as most in Identity Dixie, but there were clues.
5. Christian sets up a Gab account after January 6th. Why? I can't say for sure, but it's a red flag. The bigger issue is the presence of Clinton Cooke. Who is Clinton?
6. He's is or was a member of the League of the South hate group. You can read more about him in this fantastic thread:
7. Christian Stacy Hamilton later showed up in the secret Facebook chats of Identity Dixie. Here he is, long after Identity Dixie marched with literal Nazis at the UniteTheRight white supremacist march in 2017. He knew who they were.
8. I think Christian was recruited to Identity Dixie because he was an experienced "culture" writer.
9. Christian is seen here in another screenshot from the leaked secret chats with Tyler, Silas/Lucas, and Kenny who have all been outted.
10. Christian joined the Toccoa Rotary Club in 2018 and won their Rotarian of the Year in 2019.
Christian wants to be a part of a "special organization"
11. Christian used to run the Facebook and Twitter accounts for @MainStToccoa.
1. Chris Monzon made news recently for being attacked while canvassing for Marco Rubio. Here I'll present old FB posts from him that I haven't seen in the reporting and other new info on him. Starting with some rare photos of Chris.
2. I've highlighted some text I found important, but much of what isn't is also important. After reading hundreds of his posts from 2010-2015 I was stunned and I was well aware of Christopher Monzon aka Chris Cedeno. HUGE Content Warning.
3. He believes murdering black people isn't just justifiable; it's the path to heaven.
1. Another #IgniteTheRight thread identifying yet another UTR attendee. Meet Identity Dixie member Ryan Charles Tuggle, last known to reside in St. Augustine, FL.
2. Ryan used to go by "Braxton Bragg on Facebook and Twitter. He deleted everything when he was exposed as an identity dixie member 2 years ago.
What's new is confirming his attendance at UTR.
3. Ryan Tuggle attended the August 11, 2017 tiki torch "Jews will not replace us" march on the University of Virginia. In the photo on the right you can see Ryan on the far right, almost off frame.
1. I'm happier than a cottonmouth under a log to introduce you to Marshall Clayton Rawson and his wife Megan Elise Rawson of North Florida. The attended the deadly 2017 UniteTheRight rally in Charlottesville, VA with League of the South.
2. Marshall has been with the League of the South hate group for closing in on a decade. His faithful wife has been beside him nearly the whole time. Let's meet them.
3. We've been sitting on this one for a spell, so make yourself a mint julep and rest your bones under a shady magnolia while we lay this one out for you.
1. White supremacists work in nearly every profession in America. Some jobs make their beliefs much more dangerous: Cops, military personnel, teachers, and healthcare professionals are among the most problematic.
2. In professions like those, the ability for racists and bigots to translate their beliefs into great damage is outsized.
Tonight I must put a bright light one one such person. Meet former Identity Dixie member Lauren Wendy Blasco.
3. Lauren Wendy Blasco was the Identity Dixie member that created the Florida chapter, named "Florida Crackers".
1. I'm happier than an alligator on a river log to introduce you to White Plains, MD fascist Hitler-loving farmer and possible Identity Dixie member George Calvin DeMarr(approx 37).
2. I can't prove George DeMarr was in Identity Dixie, but he loves their memes, likes Musonius Rufus, and used the Identity Dixie magnolia on his Facebook page.
Regardless of his status with them, he deserves this.
3. George really didn't make it hard to tie his accounts together.
1. By the beginning of March 2017 three former @txst students affiliated with @YALTxSt joined the TX Facebook chat of Identity Dixie called Lone Star Hate, including their recent past President @EnzoQuesada5
2. The Facebook chat was started by Identity Dixie founder and leader Bret Keylon Lynn aka Musonius Rufus right before the broke out from TRS. Identity Dixie is an SPLC listed hate group.
3. Bret Lynn was host of the TRS Confederates podcast called Rebel Yell. TRS Confederates broke off from TRS around the 20th of January 2017 to form Identity Dixie.
