This evening, the neo-Nazis of the "Goyim Defense League" (GDL) held Nazi flags and sieg heiled outside a synagogue in East Cobb (metro Atlanta) in an attempt to intimidate the community. The GDL is a decentralized neo-Nazi group whose main figure is livestreamer and Nazi
provocateur Jon Eugene Minadeo II of Florida (by way of California). The GDL has active adherents around the US.
The GDL has been on trip across Georgia, with neo-Nazis from both Florida and Georgia distributing GDL propaganda. Minadeo was arrested yesterday in Bibb County but was soon released on bail:
GDL appearances outside of places like synagogues are provocations used to collect donations via livestreams. Few (if any) of these people are local to Cobb. Michael Weaver is a longtime neo-Nazi in
Bartow County who is a highly visible GDL participant and distributor of their propaganda: atlantaantifa.org/2022/06/18/car…
Another Nazi harassing the synagogue in East Cobb tonight is Brian Keith Hulliger of Bradenton, Florida who has been traveling with Minadeo. More on Hulliger:
When faced with the spectacle of neo-Nazis, it is important to remember a few things: (1) These are fringe individuals who are unpopular, but it is a problem when they feel emboldened enough to attempt intimidation.
(2) The law and government will not and cannot stop them. (See for example cops standing around tonight. Even yesterday when there was a token arrest, the Nazis quickly went back to their harassment campaign.)
(3) Community self-defense is how we can protect each other. These Nazis all have names, addresses, family members, and sometimes jobs. There are ways to increase the social consequences for anyone doing neo-Nazi activism.
Creating blowback so that their employers, families, neighbors, and landlords know about what they are up to is both effective and a bare minimum for what we can all do. Please reach out to us if you have further tips or documentation: afainatl@riseup.net

Meet George Raymond Haynie III and Shannon Ashley Haynie, the neo-Nazi couple who hosted "Aryan Fest" on their property in Lexington, Georgia near Athens last weekend, bringing neo-Nazis from around the country to the area. Aerial footage and GiS confirms.

George works as a machine shop manager at the University of Georgia making over $80,000 a year and Shannon runs a "pregnancy crisis housing" nonprofit with a website full of Nazi symbolism.

On May 2nd, a North Carolina neo-Nazi named Ariel Ellis Collazo-Ramos was arrested on federal charges of sending threats by mail, including one to a rabbi in middle Georgia. Collazo-Ramos was known to us under his alias of "Patriot Candle Co", Image
as a GDL (Goyim Defense League) associate, a network of neo-Nazis known for extreme antisemitic flyering campaigns and clownish antics.
Like many neo-Nazis, Collazo-Ramos had a history of violence against women. This 2023 mugshot stems from an arrest in North Carolina in which he was charged with "felonious restraint and assault on a female".

10.16.2023 - Statement by Atlanta Antifascists ()

Atlanta Antifascists stands in solidarity with the people of Palestine. We condemn all targeting of civilians in war, no matter what nationality or religion. We have no sympathy for Hamas, whose original atlantaantifa.org
Image
(1988) charter was unambiguously antisemitic, and whose slaughter of civilians is abhorrent. We also broadly believe in the Palestinian right to self-determination. As US citizens, we recognize that many of the weapons currently killing Palestinian children were supplied by
our government, and believe that all US citizens have the same moral duty to oppose US-funded state terrorism and war crimes by Israel.

The recent murder of a Palestinian-American 6-year-old by an Islamophobe underlines how important it is to fight against the dehumanization

White nationalist Andrew Jacob Schwam of Albertville, Alabama died in an accident while working as a lineman on March 18th.

Schwam was active as a white supremacist under the online aliases "George Goy", "Joseph Warren", and "Samuel GA".

He was part of Patriot Front as (1/4)
"Samuel GA" a couple of years ago, while living in northwest Georgia.

Leaked Patriot Front messages refer to him possibly rejoining that organization after his move to Alabama:

More recently, Schwam helped the White Lives Matter racist project in (2/4)
Alabama.

Schwam's history as an active white supremacist explains why the racist/antisemitic National Justice Party has been making propaganda over his death, and why a fundraiser for his family has been doing the rounds on racist Telegram channels.

Good riddance to this (3/4)
