🚨New:

Based on research and analysis, #Hatewatch has identified "The Z Man," a prolific white nationalist personality who makes money churning out racist propaganda and rubs shoulders with white nationalists – without ever showing his face. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
John Christopher Zander, 55, a software salesman residing in #Baltimore has inhabited The Z Man persona since at least 2013 based on review of public records and leaked documents.

Since 2013, he's also published an independent site called The Z Blog. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
The Z Man depicts white men as victims of genocidal conspiracy and advocates a separatist white-only country in North America.

🚨NEW #Hatewatch: @hannahgais and @jason_a_w identify Media2Rise's white power propagandist "Lucca Corgiat" as Allen Michael Goff, 29.

Goff has a long and violent history in #Montana's racist far right. #ExtremistFiles
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
Closely aligned with Patriot Front, Media2Rise is founded by violent white nationalist and Rise Above Movement ringleader Robert Rundo.

As the most prominent on-air presenter, Goff helped make it a prominent propaganda organ for the white power movement.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
After Media2Rise boasted about interviews with accused Waukesha car attacker, Darrell E. Brooks, #Hatewatch requested #WaukeshaCounty Jail's visitor records –– which named Goff.

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.

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…
