Meet J6er & groyper Christian Conner Balanda aka "Michigan Zoomer" from Ada Township, Michigan!

He was one of Nick Fuentes's "top guys", campaigned for Rep. John Gibbs, and is now a Director of Youth Ministry in Grand Rapids. #GroyperSeason

Identified earlier this year thanks to infighting between Nick Fuentes and Ethan Ralph, we have taken the time to verify the ID and see what else Michigan Zoomer has been up to.

Thanks to Mich Zoomer's poor opsec, it was easy to confirm.

Christian Balanda traveled all around the US to attend events with Nick Fuentes, recently appearing as Nick's security and photo taker a the event across from 2023 CPAC.

He's also been seen with Michigan buddy Connor Banks aka Jiu-Jitsu Groyper.

Christian Balanda couldn't help but constantly tell on himself on his Michigan Zoomer and Yoba accounts.

Here he is, posting his location during the #J6 Capitol attack.

Online, Christian Balanda as "Michigan Zoomer" had a wide footprint with his America First, Nick Fuentes, and Baked Alaska activism, with numerous accounts and Telegram channels.

He was also extremely racist, misogynistic, and antisemitic. Collage of Michigan Zoomer account handles and profile images
Balanda has also been involved in local politics, working as the Voter Outreach Coordinator and Social Media Manager for the John Gibbs for Congress Campaign.

Mich Zoomer exclaimed, "WE ARE INFILTRATING AT EVERY LEVEL"

Most concerning of all is Christian Balanda's current position as a Director of Youth Ministry.

With his history of hatred and poor life choices, he probably shouldn't be allowed anywhere near children.

@threadreaderapp @rattibha unroll please
We've had some comments about looks, and we would like to remind everyone that hate comes in all shapes and sizes and that people should be judged by their actions, not appearance.

Here is a sample of Balanda's hatred in his own words, which should be the source of criticism.

Michigan Zoomer using the N word and posting anti-black racism, anti-race mixing comments
Michigan Zoomer talking about hating women, being anti 19th amendment, calling women whores, using the n word again
Homophobia, antisemitism, more racism

Jack Posobiec qt’d neo-Nazi Ryan Dumperth's declaration of war on the evening of the MSG rally.

Dumperth aka Treblewoe is a leader of Lutefash - Lutheran nazis. He's called for Total N-word Death & was a member of the nazi trolling network “The Shed.” 🧵

Screenshot of Dumperth aka Treblewoe posting, “The energy of the righteous side of this battle isn’t rhetorical heat from the impending election. This is a declaration of war against everyone responsible for the conditions we now suffer. This energy will rapidly become concrete action that changes the map forever.” Jack Posobiec replies, “Soon.”
When Posobiec says “soon” to Dumperth’s call for “war against everyone responsible [for our suffering]”, he is signing onto the revenge fantasy of a white supremacist.

Dumperth once lamented that the nazis had only taken “half-measures” on the anniversary of Kristallnacht. A picture of a very white guy looking very white. It is labelled “neo-Nazi Ryan Dumperth aka Treblewoe”
"[Dumperth's] hate runs the gamut of bigoted beliefs, from race science and obsessions with patriarchal power structures to general conspiracies about a Jewish cabal running the world."

- Ethan Weinstein, VT Digger

In a collaborative effort between @LateNightAFA, @SCResearchClub and others, we present the ultimate #NameTheBozoTour GDL Member List with 90+ identifications of Goyim Defense League members and associates.

latenightafa.noblogs.org/gdl-list
Meet the Goyim Defense League: 91 faces of Goyim Defense League members, associates, and supporters with their names and home states beneath them
@SCResearchClub Last month the GDL thought it would be a great idea to terrorize Nashville with a racist & antisemitic “Name the Nose Tour.” In turn, antifascists have been diligently identifying these perpetrators of hate.

@SCResearchClub We think that yelling slurs at small children and getting your own arrested might not be the best way to win people over. But don't just take our word for it; there are plenty of local reports as well as commentary from other nazis on the subject.


Telegram post with a screenshot of a news article titled "Neo-Nazis are filmed hurling disgusting racist slurs at black children as young as eight in downtown Nashville" Nazi comment: "Remind me again how these trash people are helping us in any way?"

#NameTheBozoTour: Meet GDL member Caleb John Downs aka "Hissing Possum" and "Wokie Okie" of Tulsa and Collinsville, OK, a Proud Boy turned Nazi who makes songs about lynching minorities.

Downs was previously publicly identified for his activity with WLM.

On July 16, 2024, Caleb Downs showed up to Nashville alongside other neo-Nazi GDL members to terrorize residents in an attention-seeking Nazi stunt.

At the Metro City Council meeting, clear photos of his face and tattoos helped confirm his identity.

To confirm the connection of Hissing Possum to "Caleb Downs" we scoured his socials. A photo of a T-shirt was posted to Telegram, and the background of the photo showed wooden walls and a leather couch that matched Facebook photos from Caleb's family members.
