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 🧵.

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.

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.

Beyond spokesperson/public face Michael Robillard, other "Christian Veterans United" organizers kept a low profile. There were very few of them.

While researching the conference, we noticed that one business profile on LinkedIn, "Venture Base", gave the Christian Veterans United URL as its personal website.

The Venture Base profile on Linkedin uses a common image of a goldendoodle dog for its profile pic.

A year ago, Venture Base liked a post by Atlanta Drone Imagery.

There is no longer a LinkedIn profile under the Atlanta Drone Imagery business name.

Articles of organization for the company "Venture Base LLC" were filed with the Georgia Secretary of State at the end of July.

Jason Allen Mileshko is listed as Venture Base's organizer.

(The address on the filing is a UPS Store location in Brookhaven.)

In a web result, Jason Mileshko is listed as the contact for Atlanta Drone Imagery--whose footage was liked by Venture Base on LinkedIn.

Jason Mileshko clearly operates the Venture Base profile. Mileshko signals his involvement with Christian Veterans United on the same profile.

We are seeking more recent images of Jason Mileshko, but here he is circa 2013 in a US Navy uniform.

Circa 2015, Jason Mileshko operated the businesses Atlantic Tactical Supply LLC and Rogue Survival LLC in Virginia Beach VA.

He appears to have moved back to Georgia over the last couple of years.

Interestingly, someone by the name "Jason Mileshko" left a comment on "The Rational Male" website in 2015.

"The Rational Male" is part of the same Red Pill misogynist subculture where Roosh Valizadeh built his following.

Mileshko's comment references "hypergamy".

More context on that term (as it is used by the "Red Pill" crowd) here:

Since only tiny circles were involved with planning the failed "Christian Veterans United" conference, Jason Allen Mileshko is almost certainly Jason the CVU "event coordinator."

Note that, like "David Wilson" mentioned by Robillard, he is a veteran who has business experience.

Why is this important? The Christian Veterans United event was militantly far-Right, for example advertising itself with footage of violence in Portland OR.

One of the original listed speakers for the conference is a Holocaust-denier.

Another featured speaker, Roosh Valizadeh, is a notorious rape apologist & antisemite, who has significant ties to white nationalist circles.

You can read about Valizadeh in our original article.

When someone organizes to spread antisemitic poison or promote violent male supremacy, they become a threat to others around them. We believe communities deserve to know of these threats.

Please reach out if you have more info on Jason Allen Mileshko or other CVU organizers.
