🚨NEW: #Hatewatch has ID'ed nearly 600 cryptocurrency addresses associated with white supremacists & prominent far-right extremists.

We've found tens of millions of dollars worth of value embedded in the movement. #Techwatch #RefuseHate
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021…
In July, we linked Andrew Anglin–– Daily Stormer editor suspected of swapping Bitcoin with a Russian darknet site trafficking in illegal activity–– to different Bitcoin addresses.

Collectively, at least $1 Million USD of value was transferred & received: bit.ly/2UhEw82
Cryptocurrency is the de facto money of extremists.

Read more in the #Hatewatch reporting, confirming that some early investors in #Bitcoin adhered to a white nationalist or neo-Nazi ideology, adding a new layer to Bitcoin’s libertarian origin story: bit.ly/30cblpP

Often, the extremists & hate groups who try to intercept and detain migrants on the #Arizona border perpetuate antisemitic and nativist beliefs.

Here's what you need to know about them and #ExtremismOnTheBorder: bit.ly/3y6TwVG

Among the extremists at the border are:

⚫️ At least 2 QAnon adherents
⚫️ 4 Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol rioters
⚫️ A snake oil salesman
⚫️ An antisemitic militia group attempting to recruit on the forum of the notorious white nationalist site Stormfront.

The founder of #Russia Insider promoted Stop the Steal, journeyed to the Capitol on Jan 6, and then disappeared to –– leaving the Christmas lights still dangling from his #Lancaster home.

Read @MichaelEHayden's investigation here: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021…
#Hatewatch started reporting on Russia Insider’s Charles Bausman last year when we linked him to a white nationalist group through an email ID buried in the source code of a network of racist websites:
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020…
We also linked Bausman's site to a hyperpartisan blog focused on #LancasterCounty, PA.

He moved there from #Russia in 2018, produced a flood of far-right propaganda & left after Jan. 6: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020…

THREAD: The insurrection we saw in #WashingtonDC yesterday was an example of how political violence isn’t limited to the fringes of the far-right: it permeates even mainstream spaces.
Insurrectionist and right-wing accelerationist dogma that insists on the utility of political violence and terrorism that has flourished within the far-right for decades emerged in our nation’s capital yesterday.
splcenter.org/20200810/when-…
For almost 2 years, while mostly ignoring the Proud Boys, federal authorities and law enforcement have focused on white power accelerationists as the predominant terror threat on the right, where insurrectionist dogma has played a role.

Days after @realDonaldTrump won the 2016 election, activists associated with the white nationalist website VDARE solicited resumes from right-wing writers, including former #Breitbart editor Katie McHugh, who leaked those emails to us.

Hatewatch reporters @MichaelEHayden and @hannahgais have reported previously on the ties between the #TrumpAdministration and the far-right, including hate groups like VDARE. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
Last fall, using 900+ emails leaked by Katie McHugh, @MichaelEHayden broke the news that White House senior adviser #StephenMiller had ties to VDARE and sought to shape media narratives about the 2016 presidential campaign and immigration. Read more: splcenter.org/stephen-miller…

#AmyConeyBarrett has ties to the anti-LGBTQ hate group Alliance Defending Freedom.

Here’s why we list ADF is a hate group splcenter.org/news/2020/04/1…
Barrett has lectured at the Blackstone Legal Fellowship — a training program for lawyers that has included anti-LGBTQ tracts on its reading lists — five times, beginning in 2011.
washingtonpost.com/politics/coney…
The reading list includes former ADF president Alan Sears' book "The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today," which falsely claims that LGBTQ+ rights comes at the expense of the rights of people of faith. Read more ⬇️ splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…

We identified 940 hate groups operating throughout the US in 2019. Specifically, the numbers of anti-LGBTQ+, anti-immigrant and white nationalist groups all increased. #YearInHate

Read more: splcenter.org/year-hate-and-…
The total number of hate groups has fallen since 2018, when we counted a record high 1,020 active in the US. This drop results from:
1️⃣ the collapse of 2 neo-Nazi factions after leadership turmoil;
2️⃣ more far-right extremists with white supremacist views congregate online.
Yet, we have witnessed significant increases in the number of anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-immigrant hate groups throughout the country, some with close ties to elected and appointed government officials, including in the Trump administration.
