On October 1, 2016, anti-fascists distributed flyers in Woodstock, Georgia warning neighbors about an Aryan Nations supporter based in their area. The flyer distribution was in response to “Hammerfest,” a neo-Nazi gathering held that day at a Klan bar in West Georgia. The anti-fascist flyer was the first appearance of “Atlanta Antifascists” as a name. Before then, there were already informal networks of anti-fascists in metro Atlanta, as well as a blog (“Atlanta Antifascist Notes”) used to document what local fascists were doing. With racist activity increasing, a small core of anti-fascists decided that the situation required a more cohesive, organized response. Atlanta Antifascists was born.
Ten years later, we’re still active and still causing grief for fascist and white supremacist organizers. We’ve been through a lot and made our share of errors, especially in the hectic early days. However, we’re proud of our track record—we have not only exposed fascist organizers and thwarted their efforts but helped push fascist groups to collapse. Currently, a far-right and more-or-less openly racist government is in power, so organizing and collective action are more important than ever. We look forward to contributing to the struggles ahead, while continuing with our efforts monitoring and opposing fascist groups outside of state power. We continue to depend on the wider community for tips about white supremacist organizing, so if you have information, please get in touch.
Thank you to our close allies, members past and present, and everyone who has contributed positively to this project through the years. We couldn’t have reached this landmark without you!
In April 2022, we published the first part of “Notes on Martin Kenneth O’Toole and White Supremacy.” Now, four years later, Martin O’Toole unfortunately remains relevant to anti-racists due to his ongoing activism as a white nationalist, as well as his continuing role as the spokesperson for Georgia chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV). Media outlets still quote O’Toole as the voice of this Confederate “heritage” organization without referencing his decades of white nationalist activity.
Martin O’Toole
Our first “Notes” on O’Toole discussed O’Toole’s racist organizing at University of Georgia in the 1970s. We then covered his activities in the 1980s facilitating the production and mass mailing of newsletters for NSDAP/AO, a neo-Nazi group. We also discussed O’Toole’s assistance with Instauration, a racist and antisemitic publication. We concluded with a discussion of O’Toole’s activity in the Holocaust denial scene, which included hosting events for Hitler-sympathizer David Irving in the Atlanta area, as well as operating a related publishing company.
In this second article, we finish our coverage of O’Toole’s racist career by outlining his history with three virulently racist groups: American Renaissance, the Charles Martel Society, and the Foundation for Human Understanding (FHU). During the period when O’Toole led FHU, the Foundation reprinted Siege, a notorious book which has inspired neo-Nazi terrorist attacks. Finally, we discuss O’Toole’s travel to Russia with other white nationalists in 2018 in an apparent networking mission.
Just as with our first “Notes” on O’Toole, this article is not an attempt at a comprehensive biography of O’Toole, or even an exhaustive account of his racist and antisemitic organizing. Our aim is to synthesize existing documentation on O’Toole—scattered around multiple sources—and to add relevant findings from our own research. We hope this provides readers with a clearer picture of O’Toole’s white nationalist campaigning over the decades.
American Renaissance
American Renaissance (AmRen) is a “race-realist” propaganda outfit which aims to make racism respectable by avoiding obvious slurs and adopting a pseudo-intellectual tone. It has also attempted to downplay antisemitic conspiracy theories, instead emphasizing racial pseudoscience in its writings. AmRen began as a newsletter at the start of the 1990s but is currently an online publication. The New Century Foundation, headed by Jared Taylor, is the publisher of American Renaissance. Since 1994, AmRen has held regular conferences which bring together the major players of the US white nationalist movement and some of their international counterparts.
“Renaissance Audio-Visual” advertisement in Instauration, 1996.
O’Toole’s name does not feature in New Century Foundation official paperwork, but he has been an AmRen participant over the years. In 1996, an advertisement offering video and audio tapes from that year’s American Renaissance conference appeared in Instauration. The contact email for “Renaissance Audio-Visual” is Martin O’Toole’s personal account, and the address in Marietta, Georgia is a former one for O’Toole. Later, “Renaissance Audio-Visual” changed to a PO Box in Marietta rather than a street address, and eventually the business got an email address of its own. “Renaissance Audio-Visual” produced and sold copies of AmRen conference speeches for at least a decade—an article in The Occidental Quarterlyreferences a copy of a 2006 speech released by the company. As Renaissance Audio-Visual was the official source for hard copies of AmRen conference speeches and was advertised by AmRen, it is likely that the business had little independent existence, with funds raised going straight back to AmRen/New Century Foundation.
In 2008, O’Toole assumed a more outward role with AmRen when he was one of the featured speakers at that year’s conference. O’Toole’s speech was on “Race and the Civil War.” In 2012, AmRen published O’Toole’s “Race and the [Civil] War” as an article on its website. While many apologists for the Confederacy claim that the Civil War was not about slavery, O’Toole argued that concern about abolitionism (and its alleged excesses) pushed the Southern states to secede. In other words, O’Toole admits that the Civil War was about slavery and race, although he states this as a double negative: secession was due to Southern opposition to those opposed to slavery! O’Toole also argued that most white people, both in the North and the South, opposed equal rights for Black people. He concluded by arguing that the current “multiracial state is […] a slave state,” where the (alleged) inability of Black and white people to live together as equals must constantly be ignored and lied about, and where the population is bound by “mental fetters.” O’Toole flatters his white supremacist audience when he suggests that they are a brave, clear-headed minority who have freed themselves from popular delusion.
O’Toole holds the microphone as Michelle Malkin answers questions, American Renaissance conference 2021.
O’Toole is a regular at AmRen conferences. At the 2018 conference, O’Toole briefly spoke to promote The Occidental Quarterly (see discussion of Charles Martel Society, below.) Leaked footage from the 2021 conference shows O’Toole holding the microphone as he assisted Michelle Malkin’s Q&A session.
Following the publication of our first “Notes” on O’Toole, O’Toole gave the keynote speech at the 2022 Georgia Sons of Confederate Veterans “Confederate Memorial Day” event at Stone Mountain Park. In his speech, O’Toole complained that “Modern America has become the land of the Living Dead. […] ‘Diversity’ is the idol before which they prostrate themselves.” In response, O’Toole urged listeners to renounce this society and instead live by the “eternal values” that Confederate ancestors allegedly honored. The American Renaissance website published O’Toole’s speech in full the following week.
O’Toole’s 2022 Confederate Memorial Day speech on AmRen website
On the same day that AmRen published the text of O’Toole’s speech, the site also released an audio interview with O’Toole by Kevin DeAnna under his pseudonym of “Gregory Hood.” DeAnna made pointedly racist assertions during this conversation. O’Toole was cagier, and placed distance between himself as Georgia SCV spokesman and AmRen, for example speaking as a representative of the Georgia SCV without mentioning his longstanding involvement with AmRen. On a strategic level, the interview seemed designed to push AmRen’s racist audience towards greater participation with the pro-Confederate cause. Conversely, the publication of O’Toole’s Stone Mountain speech on AmRen aimed to draw Confederate sympathizers toward AmRen’s more forthright white nationalism.
Charles Martel Society
Since 2011, IRS filings list Martin O’Toole among the leadership of the Charles Martel Society (CMS). Founded in 2001 by William H. Regnery II of the wealthy publishing family, CMS is a secretive, closed group that aims to influence and build the white nationalist movement. In 2005, CMS provided seed money for the National Policy Institute, a white power think tank which in turn played a leading role in developing the “Alt-Right.” Since 2006, Regnery’s name stopped appearing on CMS paperwork for the IRS; he died in 2021.
Sam Dickson, a racist Atlanta attorney and close associate of O’Toole, has been active with CMS from the beginning. Another individual who has a long history with O’Toole, Gregory A. Griffin, also features on CMS paperwork—Griffin was a CMS director between 2005 and 2008. The Griffin Dickson & O’Toole law partnership existed from 1989 when O’Toole joined the Georgia Bar until Dickson’s departure from the partnership in the early 1990s.
O’Toole himself first appeared on CMS paperwork in 2011, when he was listed as a director. He continued as a director until 2015, when he became President and Chairman of CMS. In 2022, O’Toole returned to a director role, with James Edwards taking over as President and Director. (In our first “Notes” article, we referred to O’Toole as President of CMS, as the 2022 filing with his new role was not yet publicly available.) The most recent CMS filing available online is for 2024, where O’Toole remains listed as a director.
Matthew Heimbach, former leader of the racist and antisemitic Traditionalist Worker Party, stated that CMS is “in many ways, the heart” of the US white nationalist movement. As a secretive, closed group, much CMS activity is unknown, except in outline. CMS hosts invite-only events for what it sees as the intellectual elite of the racist movement as well as for influential racist youth who show promise as future leaders. Broadly, CMS concerns itself with growing the white nationalist movement and influencing its direction; securing funds for this movement and determining how to spend money to greatest effect; and developing future leadership within the racist movement. For example, reporter Elle Reeve claims that CMS helped to nurture Nathan Damigo for leadership. Damigo went on to found Identity Evropa, a white nationalist activist group that began in early 2016 and was one of the key players in the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, August 2017. As CMS President from 2015 until 2021, O’Toole must have been involved in high-level discussions about movement tactics and strategy during the “Alt-Right’s” boom starting 2015 and its subsequent implosion after “Unite the Right.”
O’Toole promotes The Occidental Quarterly at the 2018 American Renaissance conference.
The Charles Martel Society is responsible for regularly publishing The Occidental Quarterly, which mimics the outer trappings of an academic journal while promoting racism, antisemitism, and patriarchal supremacy. For example, articles published under O’Toole’s tenure as CMS President include: “The Jewish War on White Australia” (Winter 2018), “The Criminalization of Masculinity” (Spring 2019), and “Surviving the Contemporary Racial Nightmare” (Fall 2020).
The Foundation for Human Understanding, Black Sun Publications, and Siege
Research published in 2024 tied Martin O’Toole to the circulation of a notorious piece of neo-Nazi propaganda. Approximately one decade before O’Toole first appeared on IRS paperwork as a Charles Martel Society participant, O’Toole featured on filings for another nonprofit, the Foundation for Human Understanding (FHU). FHU, founded in 1973, was a tax-exempt organization promoting racist pseudoscience. It disbanded in the mid-2000s. An FHU filing with the Georgia Secretary of State in early 2000 updated the Foundation’s business records to reflect the departure of R. Travis Osborne. The same filing showed Martin O’Toole newly listed as the organization’s CEO, CFO, and agent. According to federal filings with the IRS, O’Toole was FHU’s President in 2002 and 2003, with him dropping down to a director role in 2004 and 2005. (FHU’s 2001 filing failed to name any agents or directors, although that year’s IRS filing does claim that O’Toole was taking care of FHU’s accounts.)
On paper, FHU seemed scarcely active during the time of O’Toole’s involvement. The Foundation claimed to have slightly over $200 in net assets each year during that period, and a 2005 IRS filing even admitted that the “organization [had been] basically inactive” but was planning to reboot. The reboot does not appear to have succeeded, and FHU died.
2003 reprint of Siege
A 2024 research article by Spencer Sunshine and Hannah Gais, published on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hatewatch” blog, shows that the Foundation for Human Understanding reprinted James Mason’s Siege in 2003. Siege first appeared as a book in 1993. It has subsequently become a key text among neo-Nazis who favor terroristic attacks to achieve their goals. As only one example, a mass shooter who murdered three Black people in Florida in 2023 citedSiege. The book has inspired an “accelerationist” subculture of international neo-Nazis sometimes known as “Siege Culture,” and in the US, groups such as Atomwaffen Division and The Base have cited Siege as a foundational text.
According to Sunshine and Gais’ research, based on Siege author James Mason’s papers housed at the University of Kansas, Greg Johnson and Ryan Schuster arranged the 2003 reprint of Siege. The reprint’s dust jacket featured an image of the World Trade Center’s wreckage after the September 11, 2001 attacks, and the new foreword by Ryan Schuster encouraged readers to take inspiration from Timothy McVeigh, responsible for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. “Black Sun Publications” published the new edition. In correspondence with James Mason to arrange the reprint, both Johnson and Schuster presented Black Sun Publications as an imprint of FHU.
It is extremely unlikely that Johnson and Schuster were misrepresenting themselves when they claimed affiliation with FHU. First, well-networked racists such as Dickson and O’Toole would have heard the lie. Second, in correspondence Ryan Schuster urgedSiege author James Mason to consider “solicit[ing] tax-deductible donations through the FHU” for the reprint. Such a suggestion would have been futile without a real connection to FHU. However, if Black Sun Publishing really was an operation of FHU, then the FHU President at the time, O’Toole, must have approved the plan to reprint Siege and kindle new interest in it. While the 2003 Black Sun Publishing edition of Siege was neither the first printing nor the last, it was an important link in the chain. Siege’s legacy is of providing inspiration for neo-Nazi mass shooters.
Russia Networking Trip
In 2018, Sam Dickson traveled with “several other people” to Russia and met with “Russian nationalists” while there. Dickson had previously been to Russia in 2015, where he gave a speech at the “International Russian Conservative Forum” in St. Petersburg (as did Jared Taylor of American Renaissance). We discussed the 2018 Russia trip the following year, when we exposed attorney Michael Dominy as another member of Dickson’s party. We also discussed Dmitry Oveshnikov (Дмитрий Овешников) as the person who showed the group around Moscow. Oveshnikov has Russian state connections: he worked as an analyst for the Federation Council and later became the head of media and public relations for the Moscow City Court. In our 2019 article, we noted that Martin O’Toole’s wife, Carol, seemed to know the group’s itinerary for the Russia trip. We have since discovered that O’Toole was also part of the group on the 2018 Russia trip, alongside Dickson and Dominy.
Martin O’Toole photo posted to amateur railroad photography website.
Our earlier article about Dominy and Dickson in Russia went into detail to establish that both Dominy and Dickson were on the same westbound Trans-Manchurian Express train, which departed Beijing on Saturday, July 7, 2018 and crossed the border into Russia in the early morning of Monday the 9th. While researching O’Toole, we came across his photos on an amateur railroad photography website. One of O’Toole’s images is from “Haerbin [sic] West” in China, dated July 8, 2018. Dominy and Dickson also passed through Harbin on July 8 on their way from Beijing to the border with Russia. Although the train that Dominy and Dickson were on has traditionally passed through the central Harbin station not Harbin West, around that time the train was using Harbin West, as evidenced by onlineimages of the train (Vostok K19) at Harbin West station exactly four weeks later, on August 5, 2018. Because Dickson and Dominy’s train stopped at Harbin West station on July 8, and Martin O’Toole took a picture there on the same day, it is clear that the three far-Right metro Atlanta attorneys were all traveling in the same party.
Because of Dickson and O’Toole’s involvement in the Charles Martel Society, of which O’Toole was President at the time, and Sam Dickson’s admission that the group met with “Russian nationalists,” the trip increasingly looks like a CMS networking mission. Circles around CMS are typically extremely favorable to the Russian state. For example, current CMS President James Edward’s radio show, “The Political Cesspool,” features pro-Kremlin perspectives from guests such as propagandist Charles Bausman as well as from Dickson himself. As we pointed out in our initial article discussing the 2018 trip, the trip occurred at a time when the US white nationalist movement was in shambles in the wake of the previous year’s “Unite the Right” rally. One theory amongst researchers monitoring the far-Right was that US white nationalists had little to offer either the Kremlin or their Russian counterparts at that point, because the US race warriors were so mired in their own problems. Dickson, O’Toole, and friends took a longer-term view that the turmoil in their movement would not last forever. They therefore set off to Russia in 2018 to build and maintain relationships with their international allies.
Conclusion
As spokesperson for the Georgia Sons of Confederate Veterans, Martin O’Toole tries to maintain a respectable image. However, our research on O’Toole shows that he is a lifetime leading figure within the white nationalist movement who has provided support to even its furthest neo-Nazi fringes. Our first article in a two-part series discussed O’Toole’s racist activism while at the University of Georgia in the 1970s; his work assisting the production and distribution of neo-Nazi newsletters in the 1980s; his efforts for the antisemitic, white nationalist journal Instauration; and his involvement in Holocaust-denial circles. In this follow-up article, we covered O’Toole’s involvement with American Renaissance; his participation and leadership in the secretive Charles Martel Society; his control of the Foundation for Human Understanding when it reprinted a tome promoting neo-Nazi terrorism; and finally, his travel to Russia in 2018 with other far-Right figures on an apparent networking trip. Given O’Toole’s white nationalist involvement spanning over fifty years, his involvement with the Georgia SCV is not based on mere historical interest. Rather, it stems from ideological conviction and from O’Toole seeing pro-Confederate circles as useful for his movement. By keeping O’Toole in a prominent role, the Georgia SCV tells on itself.
If you have further information on O’Toole and his white nationalist associates, please get in contact.
Early this morning, we placed a banner commemorating Tortuguita, the young forest defender murdered by the Georgia State Patrol on this day in 2023.
TORTUGUITA VIVE LA LUCHA SIGUE
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Last year, our group received anonymous email tips about a neo-Nazi who we had only known by his online alias, “Hunt’wa N’wah.” (Initially, he used “Huntwa N’wah” without the first apostrophe.) One email we received provided an actual name for “Hunt’wa,” which we worked to verify. “Hunt’wa” is David Isaac Hamilton (DOB 8/24/2005). Hamilton is affiliated with the neo-Nazi cult of “Aryanity” as well as Patriot Front, a racist and fascist organization that operates nationally. Hamilton now goes by “Hunter” online. Although he is from Georgia, he may how be spending time in Tennessee.
David Isaac Hamilton AKA “Hunt’wa N’wah” and “Hunter”
We first encountered “Hunt’wa” during our 2023 infiltration and investigation of Southern Sons Active Club (SSAC), a white nationalist group training for violence. “Hunt’wa” had applied to join SSAC’s Georgia chapter. In our article on SSAC, we noted “Hunt’wa’s” affiliations with two other racist formations: “Aryanity” as well as Patriot Front.
Our 2023 article’s discussion of “Hunt’wa” contained two errors, which we now wish to correct. First, we stated that “Hunt’wa” was nineteen, when he was seventeen at the time of publication. The reason for this error is simple: “Hunt’wa” told others he was nineteen when applying for SSAC, which accepts members aged eighteen and over. Second, we speculated that “‘Huntwa’ seemingly lives nearer to Savannah than to Atlanta.” This was due to the location of the other SSAC members who arranged to meet with “Hunt’wa” for face-to-face vetting. In fact, David Hamilton/“Hunt’wa” was living in Augusta, Georgia at the time.
“Hunt’wa” lies about his age to the vetting channel for the Georgia chapter of Southern Sons Active Club, 2023.
When we received tips about “Hunt’wa,” we proceeded cautiously, matching information disclosed by “Hunt’wa” (e.g., his mother’s profession) with facts about Hamilton. We also compared images of “Hunt’wa” with photos of Hamilton. This was difficult at first, as our set of “Hunt’wa” images all had the faces blurred or otherwise obscured. In November, however, “Hunt’wa” posted an image on the Telegram messaging app showing his whole face. He also appeared in a video of a white supremacist boxing/combat sports event with his chest tattoo visible and his face unobscured. These decisions by “Hunt’wa”/Hamilton suggest that he either wanted to be publicly identified as a Nazi in some display of bravado, or at least that he was unconcerned about this possibility. We cannot even rule out Hamilton himself feeding information to our organization, in a misguided bid for notoriety. Even if that scenario were true, however, we would feel obligated to warn the public about an active neo-Nazi.
Still from 2023 “Church of Aryanity” video showing a swastika tattooed on Hamilton’s chest.
When we wrote about “Hunt’wa” in 2023, we noted that he was involved with the Church of Aryanity, a neo-Nazi cult which reveres Hitler and attractsvolatileindividuals. As we discussed in our 2023 article on SSAC, “Hunt’wa” traveled to an Aryanity gathering earlier that year, where Aryanity leader Aaron Barret Chapman tattooed a swastika on “Hunt’wa”/Hamilton’s chest. Hamilton was seventeen at the time, which means that professional tattooer Chapman broke Kentucky regulations about underage clients, unless one of Hamilton’s parents consented for their son to receive the tattoo and accompanied him. David Hamilton has subsequently added to his chest tattoo, giving it a more “tribal” appearance, although it is still clearly a swastika. At the time of writing, Hamilton (as “Hunter”) remains a member of the Church of Aryanity group on the Telegram messaging app.
David Hamilton at Hall Landing Campground, Tallahassee, Florida, 2024.
Hamilton has also remained active in Patriot Front (PF). In early November 2024, “Hunt’wa” shared the photo on Telegram that revealed his face. The image shows “Hunt’wa”/Hamilton by Lake Talquin at Hall Landing Campground in Tallahassee, Florida. Just over two months earlier, on August 31, 2024, dozens of PF members rallied in Tallahassee. PF organizer Ian Elliott had booked two sites at Hall Landing Campground for August 30th and 31st, which the organization used for camping and as a staging area. It is extremely likely that the photo of David Hamilton is from that weekend.
Graham Whitson knocks out David Hamilton in bare knuckle fight, Tellico Plains, Tennessee, early November 2024.
On the first weekend of November, PF organizer Ian Elliott hosted a “Winter Nights” gathering at his compound in eastern Tennessee featuring grappling and bareknuckle boxing fights. Photos and video footage from the event show longtime Patriot Front member Graham Whitson quickly knocking out David Hamilton in a bareknuckle fight. According to an interview that Ian Elliott later gave to the white nationalist “White Rabbit Radio” show, “Hunt’wa”/Hamilton had to go to the emergency room to get his busted lip stitched up. The fight was badly mismatched—Graham Whitson is larger and approximately a decade and a half older than Hamilton—but this imbalance appears to have been the point. The match was an opportunity for Hamilton to prove his courage and “heart” to other white supremacists, with Hamilton even boasting about his injury on Aryanity’s Telegram channel.
Photo of David Hamilton in Tennessee, mid- to late-2024.
Apart from his presence at the “Winter Nights” gathering, David Hamilton appears to be spending time in Tennessee and may be based there. A photo we received of Hamilton last year shows a Madisonville, Tennessee business in the background. That store is approximately fifteen minutes by car from Ian Elliott’s compound in Tellico Plains, Tennessee.
Photo posted by David Hamilton to his Telegram account, February 2025.
Hamilton has now changed the name on his Telegram account from “Hunt’wa N’wah” to “Hunter.” As we mentioned earlier, his account remains in the group chat for the “Church of Aryanity” (Ian Elliott of Patriot Front is also involved in this Nazi grouping.) On Telegram, “Hunter” signals his continuing involvement with Patriot Front—in February this year, he posted an image to his profile showing a masked individual with a Patriot Front patch on his cap.
Since the first time we wrote about “Hunt’wa” in 2023, he has remained involved with both Aryanity and Patriot Front, with his involvement in Patriot Front deepening. We are exposing Hamilton because he is a committed neo-Nazi and may pose a threat to those around him. Although Hamilton was living in Augusta, Georgia in 2023, he may now be spending time in Tennessee—images place him at and near the Tellico Plains, Tennessee racist compound. If you have further information about Hamilton’s location and current activities, please get in touch.
Use this poster template to promote anti-ICE demonstrations, events, or anything else you wish to use with it. This goes great with Atlanta Antifascist’s new wheatpasting guide.
Would you like to be an anti-fascist educator? This wheatpasting article will show you exactly how. All you really need is access to a printer, water, flour, large brushes, and time.
Why Wheatpaste?
In today’s environment, social media is important, but fascist-friendly tech oligarchs have instituted many censorship choke points that keep anti-fascist messages from spreading. Even posting something as basic as “punch a Nazi!” might be enough to get you banned. As a result, many people are confused about what fascism actually is and how to resist it. Sometimes, seeing one simple wheatpasted message in day-to-day life creates a visceral connection and can have more impact than a thousand social media upvotes. Showing solidarity to the victims and targets of fascism and lifting their spirits is another crucial purpose of these physical messages.
Our friends regularly wheatpaste simple messages and stickers around Atlanta.
You can find some designs here on our website. You can download PDFs with these messages and print them out, or make your own anti-racist and anti-fascist messages.
To make wheatpaste, mix two parts white or whole-grain wheat flour with three parts water, stir out any lumps, and heat the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously so as not to burn it. When it thickens, add more water; continue cooking it on low heat for at least half an hour, stirring continuously. Some people add a little sugar or cornstarch for extra stickiness; don’t be afraid to experiment. Wheatpaste, once made, will last for a while if kept in sealed containers, though eventually it will dry up or become rotten—and sealed containers of it have been known to burst, to unfortunate effect. Keep them in a refrigerator if you can.
You can also obtain wallpaper adhesive at any home improvement store; this comes in pre-mixed buckets or boxes of powder. Wallpaper adhesive is much quicker and easier to mix than wheatpaste, and not much more expensive even if you are paying for it. Don’t get the brands advertised as “easy to remove,” obviously—get the most heavy-duty adhesive available.
If you’re pasting up a lot of small posters, carry them in a way that enables you to access them easily without it being obvious that you have them. A messenger bag will serve for this—just make sure you can reach into it and slide one out without much fumbling. If you’re posting great big posters, roll them up, top side out so you can swiftly unroll them down the wall, and rubber band them individually.
You’ll need a container from which to apply the paste. Wheatpaste tends to be thick, so a vessel with a wide mouth such as a large plastic bottled water container is well-suited for it; wallpaper adhesive tends to be thinner and more consistent, so it can be dispensed out of smaller holes, such as that of a dishwashing soap container with a pop-up nozzle. It can help to have something to smooth the posters up on the wall—a window-washing squeegee from a gas station will suffice, or you could get a plastic wallpaper smoother from the same retailers that provide wallpaper adhesive. Big paintbrushes can speed the application of wheatpaste, too. You could do all of this with your hands, but it will leave you messy.
For each poster, pick a good location, and make sure it’s clean; most smooth metal, glass, or stucco will take pasting nicely, while wood or concrete will be somewhat less accommodating, and brick even less so. Next, apply the paste. The more wheatpaste you use, the longer it will take to dry, so use the minimum amount to make all of the poster stick. If you’re using smaller posters, spread paste over the wall, place the poster on the pasted area, smooth out all air bubbles and wrinkles, and spread some paste over the top to hold down the corners. If you’re using larger posters, unroll them flat on the ground and apply the paste to their backs there, then put them on the wall, smooth them out, and add another layer of paste. Starting out on the ground renders you less conspicuous while you’re making sure the paste is evenly applied.
When you think about where to paste, balance the length of time the poster will probably stay up against the amount of traffic the location gets, factoring in the question of which demographics will most appreciate your design. Often, it is better to put up a poster in an alley that will remain for six months than it is to put up twenty along Main Street that will be gone by noon.
Risks of Wheatpasting
For popular public locations, it’s possible to get arrested and face charges for wheatpasting. Whether or not you’re part of an organized group like ours, getting caught for spreading anti-fascist messages could get you further targeted as antifa. Be aware of these risks and think through them carefully. The safest way to wheatpaste is to carefully pick the place and time, and most importantly, to do it in a group. Divide up the labor, stay in close contact, and keep someone on lookout.
When it comes to printing, black and white laser printers and inkjets are typically untraceable back to the source printer. (Inkjets using water-soluble ink are unsuitable for wheatpasted posters, though, since the designs will run.) Many color laser printers and color copiers leave marks that can potentially be traced back to the printer. You can read more about printer tracking here at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. If you’re using a basic home consumer inkjet or Brother black and white laser printer, you don’t have to worry about this.
Now you know how to wheatpaste… it’s time to hit the streets!
At the start of each year, we publish this reminder to any white nationalists or fascists reading our site. Our offer stands year-round.
You may think that your life in the white power movement is going to be easier under a Trump administration, but involvement in fascist circles can still torpedo your life. If you want this year to be better than 2024 was, then you need to make a permanent break with the fascist movement. The fascist movement is not one you want to be associated with, and the consequences are often life-ruining. Even if you make it to the top of a far-Right group, backstabbing and infighting is so common that other members of the group may threaten your life. Fascist organizations typically have a short lifecycle, and when they fall apart, despite all the vaunted claims of eternal brotherhood, you may be left alone to face the consequences.
There are, however, options to leave the white power movement. Contrary to the established mythology around “red-pilling,” people leave all the time, both publicly and privately. There are even networks in place that can help you exit the movement – let us know if you need help establishing contact with them. Merely saying you are no longer a racist or fascist while still organizing and associating with your fascist pals is not acceptable. We will know if you are insincere.
Because our priority is countering active white supremacists, Atlanta Antifascists will not go after you for your past. If it’s clear that you’ve left white nationalism behind, we’ll leave you alone. Just send us an email with an account of your time in the movement as a token of good faith/sincerity (what you’ve done, with what organizations, etc.), be ready to answer some follow-up questions, and make clear in your actions going forward that you’ve left white nationalism behind.

On Saturday, August 17, 2024, three white nationalists held a demonstration in Dawsonville, Georgia. The trio displayed signs promoting racial “loyalty” and alleging that white people are being “replaced.” The theme of their demonstration—“the great replacement”—is a racist conspiracy theory which has inspired mass shootings. An onlooker photographed the three demonstrators, and the images were posted to Reddit later that day.

A Reddit commenter correctly identified one of the racist demonstrators as Stuart Nicholas DiNenno (born 1959) of Chamblee, Georgia. Through his posts on Reddit and elsewhere, DiNenno confirmed that he was involved in the demonstration. He was clearly the public face of this event. The signs displayed by the white nationalists featured a URL for DiNenno’s website, which advocates for a racist version of Christianity known as “Kinism.”
Stuart DiNenno
Kinism, the racist form of Christianity advocated by DiNenno, emerged from neo-Confederate circles—in particular, members of the League of the South—during the early- to mid-2000s. (Work formulating Kinist principles began some years earlier.) Kinists believe that God divided humanity into different racial groups; that these groups should be preserved separately; and that Christians have moral duties to their racial “kin.” Kinists therefore advocate for segregation and prohibit racial intermarriage. They are deeply opposed to egalitarianism and favor replacing democracy with theocracy. While Kinism as a term has been around for just a quarter century, adherents portray their beliefs as a return to traditional Christianity.
It is important to differentiate Kinism from another racist form of Christianity: Christian Identity. Christian Identity claims that whites are God’s true chosen people, and that Jewish people are evil imposters. In the case of “dual seedline” Christian Identity, adherents believe that Jewish people are literally descended from the serpent in the Garden of Eden. Such Christian Identity adherents also believe that people of color are subhuman. Kinists, on the other hand, claim that Christian salvation is available to those of any race. However, Kinists promote segregation and characterize white people as superior.
Both Kinists and Christian Identity adherents are extremely antisemitic, but there is a difference between how these two express and justify this antisemitism. Christian Identity proclaims that white people are descendants of the Biblical Israelites, and thus God’s true chosen people. Christian Identity offers theories about Jewish people and their bloodlines to portray this group as imposters or even Satanic in origin. DiNenno on his Kinist website argues that present-day Jewish people are not descended from the Israelites of the Bible. However, he does not speculate about the supposed actual lineage of Jewish people. Rather, DiNenno draws on much longer legacies of antisemitism within Christianity, asserting that “Being a Christ hater […] is the principal component of Jewish identity.”
DiNenno takes a positive view of Hitler and Nazi Germany. On his website, DiNenno reprinted an interview with Mildred Gillars, better known as “Axis Sally,” an American who made pro-Nazi broadcasts from Germany during World War II, and who was convicted of treason after the war. Another section on DiNenno’s site provides a lengthy quote from a 1934 speech by Hitler, reprinted under the heading “Hitler’s Surprisingly Biblical View of the Role of Women.” In a rant by DiNenno on the site, he claims that someone is a “victim of Jewish indoctrination” if the person “believe[s] the Jewish ‘Holocaust’ stories” or “the mainstream narrative of World War II.” DiNenno reprinted a lengthy article by Mark Weber, a major figure in Holocaust-denial circles, to his website.
2018 news story from 11Alive
Calling DiNenno homophobic would be an understatement. On his website, DiNenno portrays “sodomite relationships” as an “evil that is deserving of the death penalty,” and suggests that even approving of such relationships is worthy of punishment. In 2018, DiNenno made headlines after the landscaping company he operates, Botanica Atlanta Landscape and Design, refused to work for a gay couple. DiNenno claimed on Facebook: “I average about one or two calls per year [with my business] from sodomites or lesbians. I always turn them down.”
DiNenno (on left) protests the Pride Walk in Burlington, North Carolina, June 29, 2024
DiNenno was part of a group that harassed the “Pride Walk” in Burlington, North Carolina, in June of 2023 and 2024. The anti-LGBTQ+ protests were partially organized by Michael Spangler of North Carolina, who this year published a lengthy series endorsing “Christian Race Realism” and who broadly considers himself a Kinist. Earlier in the year (before the start of the “Race Realism” series) the Orthodox Presbyterian Church divested Spangler from its ministry.
Those targeting the Pride Walks aimed to make the gatherings as unpleasant as possible for participants, with Stuart DiNenno gloating this year:
We dogged them everywhere they went and they seemed to be disturbed by our presence. I won’t be surprised if next year’s event is canceled. Please pray for that to happen.
DiNenno also appears to have shown up against Alamance Pride in October 2023, also held in Burlington.
While DiNenno was only able to get two others to join him for his August white nationalist demonstration in Georgia, he is well-networked in Kinist circles and could potentially draw others to engage in public racist agitation. DiNenno’s intense antisemitism and the pleasure he takes from homophobic harassment are both concerning. For these reasons, we believe it is necessary to warn the public about DiNenno.
What you can do:
1) Warn others about DiNenno’s landscaping business, Botanica Atlanta Landscape and Design. Many potential customers would not wish to financially support a white nationalist who takes a fond view of Hitler and engages in homophobic harassment. Bringing DiNenno into contact with people of color, Jewish people, or LGBTQ+ individuals risks creating an unpleasant situation or worse.
2) Please get in contact if you can identify DiNenno’s two associates from the Dawsonville demonstration or have potentially relevant information. We would also like to hear from anyone who has further info about DiNenno.
3) Finally, share this article with friends in north Metro Atlanta who may encounter DiNenno. Please also share this article to contacts near Dawsonville in north Georgia, in case DiNenno and his associates attempt further agitation there.

“Today, we unwittingly damaged the movement for Palestinian liberation by allowing a rogue actor to brazenly hijack an event intended to highlight the Palestinian genocide and uplift the Palestinian movement. A student co-organizer commandeered this platform by inserting hateful and divisive guests into the program. He greenlighted a deeply problematic speech without sharing with co-organizers, prevented our attempts to reverse his last-minute changes to the speaker line up, prevented our staff from making statements on stage, and insulted our honored guests Dr. Norman Finkelstein, Ibrahim Awad, and Juilee Shivalkar.”
CAIR-GA Statement
Our group usually keeps a tight focus on exposing overt white nationalists and neo-Nazis, but there are times when our goal of antifascist education involves speaking about political actors whose motivations are not quite so obvious. With this post, we will identify and briefly give some political context to Grayson Walker, the “MAGA Communist” Emory law student responsible for the cancellation. While CAIR did not name Grayson Walker as the “rogue actor”, many other witnesses have already done so. This post is neither a full exposé nor a detailed timeline of the failed event, simply an alert to be aware of Grayson Walker and similar infiltrators who seek to exploit Palestinian suffering to curry social media attention for their niche cryptofascist political brands.
The word “cryptofascism” can evoke fanciful images of secret Nazi agents, but the historical reality is much more prosaic. A party or movement springs up claiming to be “above political divisions”, claiming to “synthesize left and right”, and then inevitably assimilates into the traditional right wing when their ideas fail to gain traction. These people often genuinely believe that they are not fascists, but they also tend to be sympathetic to outright fascists.
The “MAGA Communist” speakers invited by Grayson Walker — Jackson Hinkle and Adam Tahir/Haz Al-Din — fall neatly into this pattern. Here are some defining characteristics of their cryptofascist movement, which is also sometimes known as “patriotic socialism”:
A social conservative identity and call to return to “traditional” values expressed through homophobia, transphobia, and clownish performative misogyny. For example, Hinkle and Haz are both full-throated supporters of sex trafficker and rapist Andrew Tate.
A hatred of vaguely defined “elites” expressed through conspiracism and antisemitism
Populist nativism and support for harsher, Trumpian anti-immigrant measures
Campism: the naive belief that the world is divided into competing camps of states and that each state can be assigned into a good camp or bad camp. They regard China and Russia as the good camp, with the US state as the bad camp, until their MAGA Communist patriotic revival somehow takes over the US and redeems it.
The invocation of a simplistic ideology-as-superstructure-only concept from early Marxist theory (this is a concept which many Marxists disagree with and have replaced with more sophisticated models of ideology, such as Gramscian hegemony).
anti-environmentalism and pro-extractivism (support for the fossil fuel industry)
For this last point, it is worth noting that MAGA Communists have strong ties to the Lyndon Larouche cult, sharing not only their anti-environmentalist beliefs but also their underhanded tactics: Larouchites are known for targeting college students and for attention-grabbing publicity stunts. This idea that “any publicity is good publicity” is why this group calls themselves “MAGA communists” in the first place, because it attracts instant attention.
The “MAGA communists” have especially strong ties to the Russian state and far right, as shown by these recent photos.

As for sympathy with outright fascists, Kris Roman (seen in back) is a Belgian who heads a pro-Putin white supremacist group which receives little support in Belgium but often features in Russian media. Maryam Susli, known primarily as a Bashar al-Assad propagandist, has made an appearance on neo-Nazi and former National Justice Party figure Eric Striker‘s media and has been interviewed by KKK figure David Duke. Hinkle and Haz have also both streamed on white nationalist Nick Fuentes’ website after having been banned on Twitch.
Giving cryptofascists a platform generally leads to the platforming of their fascist allies, among other damage. By unwittingly allowing Grayson Walker even an indirect role in their event, CAIR-GA’s reputation was hurt and their members made more vulnerable. In a video after the event, Hinkle and Haz threatened CAIR directly, and Hinkle wielded a racist nativist dogwhistle against them, saying, “CAIR wants to come to my country, our country, and use their lobbying power to take your taxpayer dollars, just like the Zionist lobby…”. In light of how this country targets Muslim and Palestinian immigrants and refugees and treats Muslims as perpetual foreigners, this line of attack is especially egregious and makes a mockery of any “MAGA Communist” claim to Palestinian solidarity.
Luckily, autonomous protesters quickly circulated alerts about Hinkle and Haz, giving real information about their motives and cutting short the Haz speech. CAIR and other people present were able to limit the damage by not allowing Hinkle and Haz to speak and by issuing a swift apology afterwards. We encourage everyone in the Atlanta community to familiarize themselves with Grayson Walker and bar him from any political events, or else they, like CAIR, could fall victim to a similar publicity stunt. Please make public any new tips on Walker’s local political activity and/or email tips to us securely at [email protected].
No tolerance for racism, antisemitism, or Islamophobia in our city!
Michael Cason Hitt (born 1991) and his wife Shannon Joy Hitt (née Nicholson, born 1993) are neo-Nazis living in Senoia, Georgia. Last year, both distributed flyers for the viciously antisemitic Goyim Defense League (GDL), also involving their children in this effort. Michael Hitt, a former Marine, uses the alias “D1ktater” online. Michael Hitt claims to have “been a part of at least 5 active” white supremacist groups. Recently, he has been close to Patriot Front. He works as a rebuild technician for RAS Systems, LLC, a machinery supplier in Peachtree City, Georgia that is the US partner of a German company. Hitt claims to have traveled to Germany for his work and expressed interest in networking with neo-Nazis while there.

Identification, Goyim Defense League Activity, Michael Hitt Workplace
“D1ktater”/Michael Hitt first came to our attention last year. In June 2023, members of the “Goyim Defense League” harassed synagogues in Macon and Marietta, Georgia. “D1ktater” was a member of the GDL’s chat on the Telegram messaging application. He was based in Georgia and appeared eager to help, but was left in the dark about GDL plans. On Friday the 23rd, the GDL rallied outside Temple Beth Israel in Macon, and the next day, they targeted Chabad Lubavitch of Cobb County in Marietta. When he learned on the Saturday that GDL members were rallying again, “D1ktater” asked the Telegram chat: “Are they [GDL demonstrators] in the same city?”
“D1ktater” left in the dark about GDL plans, June 24, 2024
Looking further into “D1ktater,” we found his account on Gab, a far-right social networking site. On this profile, “D1ktater” shared videos of himself throwing bags containing GDL flyers onto lawns. One video shared January 31, 2023 shows “D1ktater’s” wife, who drives while he throws flyers from the passenger side. Later in this video, in footage from another expedition to throw GDL flyers, two children are visible in the back seat of the vehicle (their faces are blurred in the footage). Another video shared by “D1ktater,” posted on March 12, 2023, shows him sitting in the bed of a pickup truck with a woman identified in the video as “UncomfortableTruths.” Both throw GDL flyers. When posting this video, “D1ktater” tagged the Gab accounts for his wife as well as for “UncomfortableTruths.”

After finding the Gab account for “D1ktater,” identifying him was straightforward. As mentioned earlier, his wife also had a Gab account at the time. She used the same address on this Gab account as she did on other platforms where she provided her real name: Shannon Hitt. With this clue, we soon found Michael Hitt and his LinkedIn account. Hitt claimed on LinkedIn to have been a Marine from 2013 until 2018, which corresponds to “D1ktater’s” claim on Gab that he “enlisted and worked on choppers for 5 years.”
On LinkedIn, Hitt wrote that in May 2023 he had started working as a rebuild technician at RAS Systems, LLC in Peachtree City. RAS Systems is the American partner of a German company founded in 1939, RAS Reinhardt Maschinenbau GmbH. Hitt’s information on LinkedIn closely matched a May 4, 2023, Gab post from “D1ktater,” in which he claimed to have had an in-person interview for a new job, “less than 10 minutes from my house”, and that the company “desire[d] to send me to the Vaterland to learn new equipment, maintenance, and processes.” “D1ktater” shared a GDL video featuring clips of a Nazi rally to accompany the post about his job interview.

Shannon Hitt is an active neo-Nazi in her own right. In a February 2023 comment on Gab, Michael Hitt told GDL participant Mel Travis Layton of Missouri (AKA “John 8:44”) that “I’d have learned to toss [bags of GDL flyers] while driving by now if my wife didn’t enjoy coming along so much.” On Shannon Hitt’s own profile, she posted about baking a “Führer cake for Hitler’s birthday.” Her profile picture on Gab featured an animated spinning “black sun”—a symbol used by neo-Nazis. Disturbingly, both the Hitts involved their children in bagging GDL flyers for distribution, and Michael Hitt posted a picture of his son and daughter making Nazi salutes. As mentioned earlier, they also brought their children along on a trip to throw GDL flyers.

A Friend of the Family: Charmon “Ann” Aaron
Despite a history of spreading GDL propaganda, Michael and Shannon Hitt were left in the dark about plans last year for GDL members to harass Georgia synagogues. Examining the Hitts’ Gab accounts, the reason for this became clear: infighting within the GDL. Michael and Shannon Hitt were close with a neo-Nazi then living in Newnan, Georgia: Charmon Antoinet “Ann” Aaron (born 1968). Aaron, also known as “UncomfortableTruths” on Gab, relocated to Amory, Mississippi in July 2023.
Charmon “Ann” Aaron
The June targeting of Georgia synagogues was arranged by an inner circle of GDL participants close to leader Jon Minadeo II (AKA “Handsome Truth”). Ann Aaron had begun feuding with two Georgia GDL members who are part of Minadeo’s inner circle, Hilary and Philip Jacobs, with Aaron claiming that the couple took advantage of her generosity. The Hitts, on the other hand, are close with Ann Aaron—Michael Hitt even shared a video in March 2023 of him and Aaron throwing GDL flyers together. The Hitts’ relationship with Ann Aaron led them to be viewed with suspicion by Hilary and Philip Jacobs, and by extension the rest of the GDL inner circle around Minadeo. Key GDL organizers therefore did not let the Hitts in on their plans to harass synagogues in Georgia, leaving Michael Hitt to ask for information about what was happening in the broader GDL Telegram chat.

Connection with Patriot Front
Starting in the second half of 2023, Michael Hitt was active with Patriot Front (PF), either as a formal member or a close associate. PF is a racist and fascist organization established in the direct aftermath of 2017’s deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, from an earlier fascist group, Vanguard America. We have documented PF’s activity in our state since its early days and exposed multiple members.
In July 2023, Michael Hitt posted to Gab that he had “tried hooking up with PF once” and that he “may try that again.” A few months later in October, Hitt commented on Gab below a video of Nazi troops marching in the streets, writing that “I know some [people] who do [that]” and sharing a video of a PF march.

In late October, Georgia members of Patriot Front joined with Atlas Active Club for an “afternoon of Halloween festivities and striking training.” Atlas Active Club is part of the white nationalist “Active Club” network, whose members spread propaganda and train for violence together. In Georgia, Patriot Front and Atlas Active Club are intertwined. Although faces are blurred in images from the gathering, Michael Hitt is identifiable in a group photograph. We made this identification based not just on the figure’s build and posture, but by matching clothing with Hitt’s wardrobe. Another photograph from the gathering shows that two children were present. Again, faces are blurred, but the two closely resemble Shannon and Michael Hitt’s children.
Michael Hitt shares a November 2023 Patriot Front post about graffiti in Atlanta.
Hitt further indicated his affiliation with Patriot Front in November, when he re-shared a PF post about stencil graffiti in Atlanta on his Gab account.
Michael Hitt (as “D1ktater”) is also part of the Telegram chat for White Lives Matter (WLM) network in Georgia. Georgia’s WLM network overlaps with Patriot Front.
International Neo-Nazi Networking
In early March, Michael Hitt deleted his account on Gab. Shannon Hitt also deleted her Gab account that month, although some time after her husband. Gab had just begun to charge users who wished to upload media on the platform, leading to complaints from its users and some quitting. Michael Hitt’s departure, however, appears to be motivated by other worries that Gab owner Andrew Torba does not protect the personal information of users.
Michael Hitt/“D1ktater” profile on NiceCrew
In February, Michael Hitt created an account as “D1ktater” on NiceCrew, a federated social networking server which has a reputation for blatant racism. He now uses this platform as a substitute for Gab.
“D1ktater” post about attempting to contact neo-Nazi while in Germany
On NiceCrew, Hitt wrote in late February that he “recently went to Germany for 2 weeks,” presumably for his job. In the same message, he claimed that he had earlier messaged a contact from Gab and hoped to meet up with him while in Germany. Hitt claimed that his contact had spent “a year in jail for protesting […] rape and murder […] by Muslims.” According to an old post on Gab, Hitt had previously helped the account in question—“Sons of Sonnenrad”—by moderating his Gab group for “National Socialists.” Most details about “Sons of Sonnenrad” in Hitt’s February post on NiceCrew are incorrect, unless “Sons of Sonnenrad” was deliberately misstating facts about his life when posting on Gab. “Sons of Sonnenrad” claimed that he is in Estonia, not Germany, and that his jail sentence was for a fight with striking workers. However, even if Michael Hitt was mistaken about his old contact, Hitt’s post on NiceCrew demonstrates his desire to network with neo-Nazis while in Europe. If Michael Hitt’s employer gives him further opportunities to travel to Germany, he will surely try to meet up with neo-Nazis while there.
Conclusion
Michael and Shannon Hitt are neo-Nazis who littered Georgia neighborhoods with propaganda for the Goyim Defense League in early 2023, disturbingly involving their children in these efforts. Despite their work for the GDL, the couple were never part of the GDL’s inner circle due to their close friendship with another neo-Nazi, Charmon “Ann” Aaron, who is on bad terms with influential GDL members in Georgia. Later in 2023, Michael Hitt began promoting Patriot Front, a racist and fascist organization. Michael Hitt was photographed at a gathering PF held together with Atlas Active Club in late October, where he seemingly brought his children along. Hitt also served as a moderator for a “National Socialists” group on Gab and is in the Telegram chat for the White Lives Matter network in Georgia. Hitt claims that his job at RAS Systems, LLC gives him opportunities to travel to Germany. He has expressed an interest in meeting up with neo-Nazis while there.
We will update our article if RAS Systems, LLC reconsiders its employment of an active neo-Nazi in light of our documentation.
We are always interested in information about the Goyim Defense League, Patriot Front, and other racist groups active in our region. Please get in touch if you can help.

DiNenno (on left) protests the Pride Walk in Burlington, North Carolina, June 29, 2024
