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.
Carothers also published the "White Information Network" blog until early this year.
For this part, Derek Keeney has made opposition to "critical race theory" part of his State Senate campaign.

Though Keeney pays lip service to "unfortunate treatment" in the past, he campaigns against anti-racist education. This helps white supremacists.

Keeney is running for the District 14 seat in GA's State Senate, which is currently held by Bruce Thompson.

Thompson was booked to speak at a far-Right conference alongside a notorious rape apologist & antisemite, until the event got cancelled this week.
The event in Cartersville also featured Kandiss Taylor, a fringe candidate for governor who spreads election disinfo & COVID-19 conspiracy theories.

Also promoted last night were Jonathan Garcia and Lucretia Hughes. Garcia & Hughes were major supporters of former Klan leader & neo-Nazi Chester Doles' "American Patriots USA" organization last year. (Michael Carothers also goes back decades with Doles.)

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.

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.

Patriot Front -- an openly fascist and white supremacist organization -- seem to have distributed propaganda at Trump's Cullman, Alabama rally earlier this month.

Patriot Front claim that they are not pro-Trump, but they often flyer Trump rallies expecting a positive reception. Image
Learn more about Patriot Front here:
In May 2019, a Georgia member of Patriot Front with the alias "John GA" traveled to Florida, to give out PF flyers at Trump's Panama City Beach appearance.

<3 months later, "John GA" and Chris Brooks targeted Columbus GA synagogues for Patriot Front.

Hi @eventbrite @eventbritehelp, why are you helping a vicious antisemite & male supremacist with his Atlanta event?

Valizadeh claims that "Jews are behind most modern evils" and is a notorious women-hating propagandist.

This is clearly against your community guidelines. ImageImageImage

Jew-Hating Rape Apologist and Georgia State Senator Listed to Speak at “Christian Veterans United” Gathering, September 10-11

GA State Senator @BruceThompsonGA is listed to speak alongside notorious women- & Jew-hater Roosh Valizadeh.
atlantaantifa.org/2021/08/25/jew… (CW: rape)
The “Faith and Freedom”/Christian Veterans United conference is scheduled to take place on Sept. 10 and 11, in or near metro Atlanta. So far, two churches have canceled use of their spaces, after learning of the event’s true nature. But organizers are vowing to go ahead.
One speaker is Daryush “Roosh” Valizadeh, perhaps the world's most notorious male supremacist.

Some of Valizadeh's pick-up artist books contained descriptions & instructions for date rape.

He has now converted to Christianity, but his misogyny remains.
