Before reinventing himself as a preppier white nationalist, Allen Michael Goff was a key figure in the Montana Front & the Creativity Movement, where he organized for "racial holy war".

Goff got off on a 2010 shooting after a judge disallowed evidence of his racist commitments.
(He was fined and got a small fine for his concealed weapon: billingsgazette.com/news/local/cri…)

Goff was arrested later the same year for pointing a firearm at & threatening to kill another person.

The Montana Human Rights Network @MTHumanRights deserve a lot of credit for carefully documenting and speaking out about Goff's "Creativity Movement" organizing a dozen years ago.
Whoops, should be:

He was fined and got *six months of probation* for his concealed weapon.

THREAD: The last two defendants from "The Base" murder conspiracy in GA were sentenced today, to six and thirteen years respectively. A third defendant was sentenced to twenty years on Wednesday.

Here's some background on the neo-Nazi murder conspiracy.
Luke Austin Lane, the leader of the Georgia cell, believed that the couple he was targeting for murder were "affiliated" with Atlanta Antifascists.

Murdering the couple was meant as punishment for antifascists identifying neo-Nazis.

(Text: from affidavit in support of arrests.) Image
Neither of the targets were members of our group.

However, one of them was listed a series on Brad Griffin's racist Occidental Dissent website purporting to expose "Georgia Antifa[scists]". The series heavily suggested those listed were part of our org.

Michael John Helterbrand of "The Base" white supremacist murder conspiracy in Georgia will enter a guilty plea later today at Floyd County Superior Court.

Helterbrand and two others conspired to murder a Georgia couple who they believed to be part of Atlanta Antifascists. Image
Helterbrand's co-defendants in the Georgia conspiracy case, Luke Austin Lane and Jacob Oliver Kaderli, both have motion hearings on Friday.

However the court has not specified the nature of the motion. ImageImage
One of the people targeted by The Base's murder conspiracy had earlier been listed in articles by racist propagandist Bradley Dean Griffin, which claimed to expose "Georgia Antifa[scists]". Griffin strongly suggested those being named were part of our org.

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.

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.

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.
