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.
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.
(Condensed from A Field Guide to Wheatpasting by Crimethinc)
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.
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.

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. That’s all. We can’t speak for anyone else you may have harmed, but we don’t get in the way of people trying to do better by themselves and others.
Let 2025 be a year of turning your life around. Reach out for help leaving the fascist movement if you think you need it. If you’re in our region, send us a message to let us know about your choice. We look forward to hearing from you.

We are seeking information on the white nationalist pictured below.


“Conrad” (an alias) is a close associate of Adam Davenport, an organizer in metro Atlanta for the white supremacist and fascist organization Patriot Front. “Conrad” has also been involved with Patriot Front, beginning at least last year.
Adam Davenport posted the first picture of “Conrad” to the “Fren Report” racist Telegram chat, early in the morning on July 16, 2022. The second image is from a brief video posted by Davenport to the same channel on the evening of July 17, 2022. In that video, “Conrad” drives a Kia east along I-20 in Alabama toward Georgia and Atlanta, with Davenport in the passenger seat. The two were almost certainly returning from Patriot Front activity.
“Conrad’s” account on Telegram until recently featured Patriot Front symbols as a profile picture. He is also visible in Georgia photos posted online by Patriot Front, although his face is blurred in the images circulated by the racist organization.

“Conrad” also participates in the Georgia chapter of the “White Lives Matter” (WLM) network. Discussion in the Georgia group’s chat on Telegram indicates that “Conrad” is now a core organizer for the Georgia WLM network and helps with administrative tasks.

We are appealing to readers—in particular, those in metro Atlanta—to circulate these images of “Conrad.” Please reach out to our group if you recognize him or have potentially relevant information.

Update: due to indications that Hill has been fired, we are removing workplace contact information from this post.
Since March 2015, the Brannen Law Firm in Morrow, Georgia has employed far-Right militia leader Christopher Hill as a paralegal. During this time, Hill’s III% Security Force militia led anti-Muslim campaigns, organized alongside white supremacists despite claims of being non-racist, and was linked to a bomb plot in Kansas. A III% Security Force ally committed a brutal attack during 2017’s “Unite the Right” event in Charlottesville, Virginia. Most recently, Hill’s “Georgia Security Force” – our state’s wing of III% SF – assaulted unarmed anti-racist and anti-fascist counter-protesters in Atlanta, with Hill boasting about the gang attack afterward.
Since Hill is a highly visible public face of the militia movement and frequently makes inflammatory statements to the media, Joseph Chad Brannen’s firm must be aware of his employee’s activities. Chad Brannen nevertheless enables Hill’s far-Right organizing by keeping the militia leader employed. After half a decade of harm to communities, it is time for the Brannen Law Firm to fire Hill.
Contact the Brannen Law Firm and express your concern about how it enables violent far-Right militia organizing. We provide a sample script for calls below. Remember that if concerned about privacy, you can use *67 when calling. After the script, we provide notes on some of the violence and campaigns of intimidation linked to Hill, while he worked at the Brannen Law Firm.

Sample call script:
I am deeply concerned about your employment of Christopher Sheldon Hill. Hill is a far-Right leader who stokes hatred and division with his anti-Muslim organizing. He has been repeatedly linked to acts of violence and recently boasted of a gang attack his followers committed in Atlanta. By keeping Hill employed, your firm has enabled Hill’s organizing and violence. It is time to fire Hill and apologize for the harm already done. I will speak out about your firm until this happens. Thanks for your time.

Throughout the past year, the Torch Antifascist Network has been monitoring the internal communications of Patriot Front, an American fascist organization. The leaked documents reproduced below reveal an organization incapable of moving beyond furtive flyering sessions and photo opportunities, and falling under the increasingly centralized and heavy-handed control of Thomas Rousseau as other longtime leaders step back. Despite their attempts to present an intellectually respectable and professional image, Patriot Front chat logs reveal a group defined by crude fascism, neo-Nazism, and misogyny.
As well as the leaked communications, we’re providing an analysis of Patriot Front and a collection of article links profiling PF members past and present.

The FrontLine Organizations Working to End Racism (FLOWER) coalition is organizing to oppose the August 15th far-Right and racist rallies at Stone Mountain outside Atlanta.
For more information, visit the FLOWER website. Also see the coalition’s Facebook and Twitter for updates.
See you on the 15th!

Update 7/19/2020: The III% Security Force, an Islamophobic far-Right militia headed by Chris Hill, yesterday reversed its earlier position and stated it will rally at Stone Mountain on August 15th.
On August 15, 2020, far-Right demonstrators will rally at Stone Mountain Park outside Atlanta. The August 15 rally, held at the birthplace of the modern Ku Klux Klan, is being promoted and partially organized by figures tied to neo-Nazism and the white supremacist movement. Although some organizers claim to represent “Heritage Not Hate”, a closer look at who is mobilizing shows that August 15 will bring an influx of racists to the surrounding community.

Background: Protest at Stone Mountain
Stone Mountain is a racist landmark. The second and most influential iteration of the Ku Klux Klan was born at a gathering on the mountain in 1915. A figure with close links to the Klan, Gutzon Borglum, started the giant carvings of Confederate generals on the mountain face in 1923. Borglum abandoned the project in 1925, after having only carved Robert E. Lee’s head, and went on to carve Mount Rushmore. In a show of defiance toward the Civil Rights movement, the State of Georgia purchased the site in 1958. Work on the carvings recommenced in 1964.


In 2015, white supremacist Dylann Roof murdered nine Black people at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. In the aftermath of the massacre, outcry grew against Confederate monuments and symbols. Pro-Confederate rallies at Stone Mountain and elsewhere were held in reaction. As 2015 drew to a close, numbers at the pro-Confederate rallies dwindled and “Heritage Not Hate” claims grew less convincing, with obvious white supremacists becoming evident in the thinning crowds.

A November 2015 rally at Stone Mountain Park was partially organized by a Klan couple and featured participants giving KKK salutes. This November 2015 rally was the immediate precursor to “Rock Stone Mountain”, an explicitly white power demonstration in April 2016 which was undermined by anti-racist protest. White nationalists scheduled a sequel “Rock Stone Mountain II” for early 2019 but were denied a permit by the Park. Their organizing collapsed under anti-racist pressure.

With this year’s rebellion against racism and police brutality, both the Dekalb County NAACP and newer organizers held protests at Stone Mountain Park. In addition, on the 4th of July a Black armed demonstration by the “Not Fucking Around Coalition” (NFAC) took place at Stone Mountain, symbolically challenging white supremacists, “rednecks” and “three percenters”. (Our group does not support NFAC insofar as their leader, Grandmaster Jay, disseminates antisemitic propaganda.) Some far-Right organizers now cite this rally as a reason for their own mobilization, although others had been considering an event before July 4.
At least three different groups currently vow to rally at Stone Mountain on August 15: “Protect the South”, a III% militia mobilization headed by the “Confederate States III%”, and finally American Patriots USA (APUSA) which is led by longtime white supremacist Chester Doles. Another neo-Nazi who was until recently a key APUSA organizer is also riling up his audience about Stone Mountain.
(1) Protect the
South

On July 9, the “Protect the South” Facebook page called for an August 15 “Defend Stone Mountain” rally. Although another group, the Confederate States III%, made a Facebook event for August 15 two days earlier, “Protect the South” had been thinking about a rally for some time before. On June 30th, “Protect the South” shared a news story about Dekalb NAACP protesting at the Park and asked its audience: “Ready for another rally?”

The administrator of the “Protect the South” Facebook page is Adam Wesley Sitton, whose history in organized neo-Nazism we discussed in a 2016 article. Sitton’s name and address appeared on a leaked mid-2000s membership list for the National Socialist Movement (NSM), a neo-Nazi group. Sitton was later involved in the American National Socialist Workers Party (ANSWP), a split from the NSM. One of Sitton’s websites listed Sitton as briefly holding the position of “Georgia Leader” for the ANSWP.

Since his time as an explicit neo-Nazi in the mid-2000s, Sitton now portrays himself as a conservative. In 2015, Sitton even argued that explicit calls for “white power” were counterproductive. However, this showed a preference for coded language rather than any rejection of racism – Sitton was arguing with neo-Nazis and Klansmen about what would best advance “our” cause.

Previous rallies organized by Sitton’s “Protect the South” Facebook page have attracted white supremacists. A September 2015 “Protect the South” rally in Washington, DC promoted through the Facebook page included supporters of the white supremacist League of the South. Sitton’s “Protect the South” was a major promoter of the November 2015 pro-Confederate rally at Stone Mountain Park that was co-organized by a Klan couple and featured a clear KKK presence.
Sitton declares the upcoming rally to be against “the Left Wing traitors and the racist Black Lives Matter movement who wish to erase our Ancestors Heritage and destroy our Monuments!”
Protect the South’s upcoming event has received mention on Stormfront, a white power forum linked to almost a hundred murders.
(2) Confederate
States III% “Heritage Not Hate”
The “Confederate States III% militia” (CS III%) made a Facebook event for their “Defending Stone Mountain” rally on July 7, two days before Sitton created the “Defend Stone Mountain” Facebook event. CSIII% is headed by a couple in Paragould, Arkansas, Rodney Huffman and Debbie J Guin (“Dab Demere”).

The Confederate States III% is a multiracial (though majority-white) militia that presents itself as a “Heritage Not Hate” group and has a small presence in several states. They are part of the wider, decentralized III% militia movement. The militia hosted a tiny “National Patriots Summit” at a campground in Bristol, Tennessee last year and has held survivalist trainings. The couple who head CS III% travel to events around the South, but much of the militia’s recruiting happens on Facebook.


The CS III% organizers claim to have “alot [sic] of Patriots organizations working together” for their event. Unlike Wesley Sitton’s “Protect the South”, the CS III% organizers frame their August 15 rally as a “response to the NFAC […] calling the Three Percenters out”.
It is important to note that the
various far-Right calls to action for August 15 do not represent different
rallies on the day, since in practice the events will mesh together.
Although CS III% has networked widely with other III% militias, one group that is currently not scheduled to attend is the III% Security Force (III% SF), a larger III% organization that had an armed presence at other Stone Mountain rallies. The III% SF leader, Georgia’s Chris Hill, has accused CS III% of cowardice for not directly messaging NFAC for a showdown. A CS III% organizer has referred to the III% Security Force leader as “Idiot Hill”. (Permissions on the Facebook event page were changed before publication, hiding the comment.)
(3) American Patriots USA

The leader of American Patriots USA, Chester Doles, has spent a lifetime in the white supremacist movement. A self-described “fourth-generation Klansman”, in 1993 Doles and another Klan organizer viciously beat a Black man in Maryland simply because a white woman was a passenger in his vehicle. After serving a prison sentence, Doles relocated to Georgia, where he headed the state unit of the National Alliance, at the time the largest neo-Nazi organization in North America. A federal weapons charge led to another prison sentence. In recent years, Doles has been active with “Crew 38”, the feeder club for the violent Hammerskins racist gang. Doles was part of the Hammerskins crew at the bloody “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, 2017.

Last September, Doles hosted a rally in Dahlonega, Georgia, which featured both Black pro-Trump commentator Lucretia Hughes and Hitler-loving Jovanni Valle as speakers, and was supported by a contingent of north Georgia Klansmen. Following this rally, Doles formed a new, ostensibly pro-Trump organization called “American Patriots USA” (APUSA) which held its first official meeting in December. Doles simultaneously networks and organizes with white supremacists all while claiming that APUSA is not a racist organization and that he has walked away from the white supremacist movement. This pose has allowed Doles to build broader alliances, including with Republican political candidates and far-Right people of color. Doles signals to his white supremacist associates that he is still on their side via his VKontakte (VK) social media, where he still shares materials from the white nationalist movement.
On July 10, Doles announced on his VK social media that American Patriots USA and its allies were hosting an upcoming rally at Stone Mountain. An official announcement appeared on the APUSA website a few days later, giving August 15 as the date.


As a former KKK leader, Doles understands the importance and symbolism of Stone Mountain to white supremacists. Doles keeps in contact with many present-day Klan organizers through his social media. The “Chaplain” of American Patriots USA, Robert Timothy Dickenson, is also a Klan supporter. Dickenson was a member of the Original Knight Riders, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. More recently, Dickenson wore International Keystone Knights of the Ku Klux Klan apparel when he accompanied the American Patriots USA float in Dahlonega’s Gold Rush Days parade in October.
(4) Michael Carothers
and the “White Information Network”

Finally, Georgia racist organizer Michael Carothers (AKA Michael Weaver) has encouraged protest at Stone Mountain, writing July 11 on Facebook:
“Never ask permission from a public servant to exercise a constitutional right. The US Constitution is our permit!”
This is a reference to Stone Mountain Park denying a permit to the 2019 “Rock Stone Mountain II” white power rally, an event Carothers unsuccessfully tried to salvage.
Carothers has also alluded to protest at Stone Mountain on his “White Information Network” blog, writing on July 5th that “perhaps we should organize another demonstration” there.

Carothers has a long history in the white supremacist scene. Like Doles, Carothers was a member of the National Alliance. Carothers has also served a sentence for attacking a Black man. Both Doles and Carothers attended “Unite the Right” in Charlottesville. Until recently, Carothers was involved with American Patriots USA, where he played a behind-the-scenes role and approached at least one Republican candidate on behalf of the organization. Chester Doles now states that Carothers is no longer in the organization.
Carothers’ public statements about Stone Mountain are worth noting because of Carothers’ role as a networker in the racist underground. “Michael Weaver” featured in leaked planning discussions for “Unite the Right II” in Washington, DC, the 2018 follow-up to the deadly rally in Charlottesville. Now that Carothers is drawing his white nationalist audience’s attention to protests at Stone Mountain, some will likely attend or otherwise take advantage of the situation.
Conclusion
We are circulating this documentation to alert the community. Although the August 15 rallies are supposedly not about “hate”, organizers with long histories in the racist movement are promoting the event and rallying their numbers. The aim is a show of intimidation. If they succeed, they are likely to return again.
Community groups and anti-racists are building a coalition to oppose the August 15 rally at Stone Mountain. We will share updates on our social media as information becomes available. In the meantime, please share this documentation to your friends and in your community, and encourage others to keep the day of August 15 free.

In mid-January, three men in Georgia – Luke Austin Lane, Jacob Kaderli, and Michael Helterbrand – were arrested as part of a broader national sweep against “The Base”, a neo-Nazi group attempting to spark a race war. The Georgia trio were arrested on charges of participating in a criminal gang as well as conspiracy to commit murder. According to an affidavit supporting the Georgia arrests, the three were preparing to murder a couple who they believed to be members of Atlanta Antifascists, and murder any children they may have had. The couple were also selected for assassination out of convenience, since they did not live far from one of The Base members.

The couple targeted for murder by The Base are not members of our organization. However, one family member targeted by the murder conspiracy had been listed in a series purporting to expose “Georgia Antifa[scists]”, published late 2018 on the white power Occidental Dissent website (OD). The header for the five-part series on OD was an image of Atlanta Antifascists’ Twitter account, suggesting that those being profiled were part of our organization. Instead, the site mostly listed unaffiliated third parties, attendees of leftist meetings or anti-racist rallies, and people who had interacted with our social media or who were involved in anti-racist cultural efforts. Unlike anti-fascists, who expose white supremacists in order to stop their violence against marginalized groups, white supremacists have no concern for accuracy when they publish enemy lists or kill lists – precisely because their goal is to terrorize entire communities.

The webmaster of OD, Bradley Dean Griffin of Eufaula, Alabama (AKA “Hunter Wallace”), has an extensive history of harassment campaigns against perceived enemies. In late October 2018 – while the “Georgia” series was being published on OD – white supremacist Robert Bowers killed eleven people and wounded six in an attack on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. Bowers had earlier offered Griffin an address for an anti-racist blogger targeted by Griffin. Brad Griffin also worked with white nationalist Daniel McMahon (AKA “Jack Corbin” and “Pale Horse”) against opponents. McMahon spent years harassing anti-racists – especially women – but was finally arrested last year for cyberstalking, threats, and interference against a Black candidate for office. In addition to his associates Bowers and McMahon, Griffin is active in the white supremacist/Southern secessionist League of the South and was a major promoter of 2017’s “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia (which he attended). Court documents and journalist sources both indicate that The Base member Brian Mark Lemley had earlier been a member of Griffin’s organization, The League of the South.

Occidental Dissent is hosted by Bluehost with its domain name registered through GoDaddy (NYSE:GDDY). Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) also provides “reverse CDN” services for the site. Bluehost is now owned by the Endurance International Group (NASDAQ:EIGI). After the Tree of Life massacre by Griffin’s associate Bowers, both Bluehost and GoDaddy were warned about OD. The companies completely ignored concerns about their assistance for a major white power propaganda site. In their efforts to keep OD and its lists online, these companies almost contributed to the brutal murder of a couple.
