When #AsatruFolkAssembly introduced this new #Tennessee addition to their leadership track, they had to assign him a pseudonym: William. These things are necessary sometimes. @TheTNHoller @splcenter @KnoxvilleHoller (1/12)
This is Chase May of Sevierville, #Tennessee. He is already a steadfast member of the #kukluxklan. Kind of diversifying his portfolio. #AsatruFolkAssembly #klan
Here he is with his #klan friends in #Tennessee, where #AsatruFolkAssembly is trying to build its presence. @NoogaHoller @knoxnews @wbir
Here he is with his #folkish #asatru friends. How many other #AsatruFolkAssembly members are also in the #kukluxklan? @wvlt
Probably needs a little work on night photography skills, but some real nice 'rule of thirds' on the photos here, ChaseNotWilliam. Pics from VK account of newest addition to leadership track at #AsatruFolkAssembly, also of #Tennessee #klan. @WPLN
Work on your marketing skills? Check. Shilling both the #kukluxklan and #AsatruFolkAssembly.
His idols include the founder of modern #klan, a guy named William … the #AsatruFolkAssembly moniker wasn’t chosen by accident
... as well as #KKK dung beetle Sam Bowers, who ordered civil rights workers’ ’64 murders in #Mississippi (served 6 yrs on fed civil rights charges) and was finally convicted in ’98 for murder of civil rights leader Vernon Dahmer. #MississippiBurning #AsatruFolkAssembly

Lots has happened within #AsatruFolkAssembly since it was shaken by revelation thatleader, Matt Flavel, allowed a pedophile in its ranks. Membership loss, an enemies list (not kidding), coalescing of folkish hate groups. And that's just the start.
Breakaway #AsatruFolkAssembly members have reconstituted under Michael "Myers" Sessumes, long a leader of racist groups, as #RavenFolkUnited. @splcenter
It's kind of like getting the band back together, except the band is racist, homophobic and antisemitic, with multiple ties to violent incidents. #RavenFolkUnited @ADL @qvoO9Adl9SFCkeL
What’s going on at #AsatruFolkAssembly? Purge? Implosion? BOTH. One member fears they’ll lose the best thing they had since — and we’re not making this up — the Third Reich. @SPLC @ADLSoutheast
2 sets of hate mongers, lotsa fingerpointing. Version 1: #AsatruFolkAssembly leader knowingly allowed a convicted sex offender to join #Wisconsin chapter, and is now purging ranks. Version 2: Disloyal members use situation as pretext for starting breakaway group.
Some elements of truth in both sides. In WI, convicted sex offender joined AsFA in 2021, with clearance by #AsatruFolkAssembly leader Matt Flavel. We’re not naming the guy because there are 2 men with same name, fairly close in age, who live near each other in Green Bay area.
Who enshrines sadistic Nazi camp guards as heroes? Who takes their lead from a murderous bigot who wanted to overthrow the US gov’t? Meet Sara Ault of Two Rivers, #Wisconsin of the #AsatruFolkAssembly.
Ault & her husband, James (left), are both leaders of the #AsatruFolkAssembly. Both identify as white nationalists. Pictured at Willow River State Park near Hudson, #Wisconsin, with #Minnesota folkbuilder Jason Gallagher & Jessie Shaffer at yearly gathering.
The Aults are regular visitors to the #AsatruFolkAssembly location in Murdock, #Minnesota. Sara Ault pictured with Brandy Callahan, a top AsFA leader. BTW, #Gilead still wants their outfits back.
It's to be called Sigrheim. Land has for it has been purchased at an undisclosed location in east-central #Tennessee. #AsatruFolkAssembly leader #MattFlavel describes it as app 1 1/2 hrs east of #Nashville.
For those who've not heard of them, #AsatruFolkAssembly is recognized as a hate group by the @splcenter. For good reason. This is their founder, Steve McNallen, who remains active and revered in the group. @KnoxvilleHoller
Most antisemites aren’t failed entertainers with famous estranged wives. Meet Shane Duffy of Joliet, Illinois. Charlottesville mob, 2017. Now on the leadership track for #AsatruFolkAssembly. @UnmaskUTR @Blaze46142681 @UR_Ninja
Earlier this year in #Illinois. @shawlocalnews
CW: We want to emphasize that his is some of the most racist and antisemitic we’ve come across, and that’s saying something for #AsatruFolkAssembly. And he’s got a mouth most mothers would like to wash out with soap. @MeganSquire0
1/ Got white supremacy? Custom-made swastika rings are pretty much a giveaway. Meet Clyde Eldridge Brown and Kristina Nicole Horacek Olson Brown, @StCloud #Minnesota. @MNUnitedAF
2/. Content warning: racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim. Some of the worst we’ve seen. @AntifaGarfield @RedoubtAFA @AnonCommieStan @BonnotGalaxy
3/ Their story intersects w/ #AsatruFolkAssembly. For a while, they were the toast of the AsFA. Pictured w/ AsFA founder Stephen McNallen and his wife, current gythia Sheila McNallen. @scottkernest
