new @Hatewatch: we've identified three of the main players — Sarah Cucchiara, Vincent Cucchiara, and Dmitri Loutsik — behind the pro-Hitler publishing house, Antelope Hill.
@Hatewatch@jason_a_w@MeganSquire0@MichaelEHayden we found considerable evidence of overlap between Antelope Hill and the National Justice Party. both Cucchiaras have branded themselves as NJP affiliates on social media, and they've sold books at NJP events.
@Hatewatch@jason_a_w@MeganSquire0@MichaelEHayden The Right Stuff podcasting network was also instrumental in boosting Antelope Hill's brand to the movement—and to helping us make this ID. specifically, I'd like to shout out Joseph Jordan (aka "Eric Striker"), whose work helped us ID AH and a Media2Rise host, as we note here.
last week, @MichaelEHayden and I traveled out to PA to reach out for comment. at one of the properties, I met a very nice dog who jumped on me and asked for pets.
@Hatewatch@jason_a_w@MeganSquire0@MichaelEHayden we also met a man in a bucket hat who refused to ID himself, though he said that he knew who both of us were. if you know who he is, we'd love to know.
nick fuentes’ white nationalist hoopla his set to begin in orlando any minute now. nick’s advertised two mystery speakers, which are apparently janice mcgeachin and paul gosar. gosar spoke at AFPAC last year.
i will probably be livetweeting parts of this, so if you’re not into hearing about this sort of thing on a friday evening you might want to mute this thread.
nick is late, so we’re going to try an experiment: how many times can i play fugazi’s “waiting room” on repeat until the event starts
new from me and @jason_a_w: we've ID'd "Lucca Corgiat," Rob Rundo's right-hand man at Media2Rise as one Allen Michael Goff. Goff's past includes a long and violent tenure in Montana's white power movement. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…
@jason_a_w Goff has covered a range of white nationalist events throughout 2021, including Patriot Front and National Justice Party rallies, as well as more "suit-and-tie" events like American Renaissance's annual conference. (Yes, that one where Michelle Malkin spoke.)
@jason_a_w We ID'd Goff through a public records request after seeing that he and members of Joseph Jordan's National Justice website were collaborating on a documentary on the Nov. 2021 attack in Waukesha. Goff, Greg Conte, Graham Whitson and Trey Garrison all visited Brooks.
new from me @Hatewatch: Michelle Malkin's speedrun through the American racist right continues apace. In mid-November, she spoke at American Renaissance, alongside a former Klan lawyer and longtime white nationalist writer, Kevin DeAnna: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021…
@Hatewatch Malkin's letting American Renaissance reprint her work through Creators Syndicate as well. American Renaissance announced they were printing her columns in Jan. 2020. They've run about 40 or so since then. (Meanwhile, VDARE's run nearly 1,400 of her syndicated columns.)
@Hatewatch Two members of Rob Rundo's new org, Media2Rise, attended as well. @DLamontJenkins caught their correspondents on film outside the event. Members of Rundo's group, the Rise Above Movement, were some of the few to face criminal charges re: Unite the Right.
i just joined an ivermectin group on facebook with over 26,000 people in it. facebook merely suggests you consult health authorities, but notice how the “join” button is right above anything you’d click to get more information.
just joined another one. no appeals from facebook.
Kevin DeAnna, who met with Facebook board member and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel in 2016, admired terroristic literature and provided an ideological bridge between suit-and-tie white nationalism and its more violent fringe.
DeAnna, who Thiel said he "really enjoyed meeting," according to emails independently verified by @Hatewatch, was praised on the message board that birthed Atomwaffen Division as "the closest writer to our views."
DeAnna's writing under two pseudonyms for a whole host of white nationalist sites has included references to James Mason's SIEGE and rhetoric similar to The Turner Diaries — a book that helped inspire one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism on US soil.
Fuentes just announced that Rep. Paul Gosar is AFPAC’s “secret” speaker. Meaning: a current congressman is addressing a group of white nationalists tonight.
days before Fuentes, the organizer of AFPAC, headed to the Jan. 6 event that turned into the Capitol insurrection, here’s what he had to say about Rep. Gosar’s fellow Republicans in office. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021…
AFPAC, or the America First Political Action Conference, is an event organized by Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist who attended Unite the Right in 2017. It’s taking place concurrently with CPAC.
