You did nothing to deserve this, #Tennessee: The white supremacist #AsatruFolkAssembly intends to build a residential compound in the Volunteer State. @Tennessean @TheTNHoller @tn_tribune @TNLookout @WPLN
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
The #Tennessee location is unlike AsFA's other places (MN, CA, NC, FL). The plan is for #AsatruFolkAssembly members to move to TN, as #MattFlavel says he & family will. Plans include school and senior housing. @NC5 @WSMV @WKRN @FoxNashville
Who else is coming to #Tennessee? Meet some of their leaders and stalwarts: This is Patrick W. Cook, West Virginia, who trots out his Nazi toys for #AsatruFolkAssembly meetings. *Content warning* for this slide and following (racism, antisemitism).
This exchange between members & Lane Ashby, in Palm Coast, FL, is typical. #AsatruFolkAssembly openly hates people in multi-racial & multi-ethnic relationships. Ashby was promoted by Flavel not long ago. #BlackLivesMatter
This is Daniel Young of South Carolina. The 'Aryan call to action' language is commonplace in #AsatruFolkAssembly. He's also moving up the ranks, having been promoted by Flavel about a year ago. @ADL
This is Shane Duffy of Joliet, #Ilinois. Promoted earlier this year by #MattFlavel to full folkbuilder.
This is longtime member George Schindler, center, of Massachusetts. #AsatruFolkAssembly's antisemitism is virulent. He's pictured with #MattFlavel and Steve McNallen.
We have plenty more we can, and will, share. For now, we ask all our followers to RT. This is a big move on their part and not good news, especially for those in their targeted area.

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. Image
Breakaway #AsatruFolkAssembly members have reconstituted under Michael "Myers" Sessumes, long a leader of racist groups, as #RavenFolkUnited. @splcenter Image
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 Image

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 Image
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. Image
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. Image

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. Image
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. Image
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. Image

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 Image
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 Image

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) Image
This is Chase May of Sevierville, #Tennessee. He is already a steadfast member of the #kukluxklan. Kind of diversifying his portfolio. #AsatruFolkAssembly #klan Image
Here he is with his #klan friends in #Tennessee, where #AsatruFolkAssembly is trying to build its presence. @NoogaHoller @knoxnews @wbir Image

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 Image
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 Image
