Radical Right Roundup #1

 Goyim Defense League

This rather strange organization seems to be mostly a paper organization led by a man of various pursuits of various levels of success named Jon Minadeo III who is one of between four and twenty people holding membership in the league. The GDL as it is often referred to seems to be mostly propped up in almost all public events by the much larger and more militant Blood Tribe which Minadeo seems to usually appear with. The GDL’s main purpose is posting flyers onto their website which they make extremely easy to download and print wildly inflating their perceived membership.

The Goyim Defense League is an organization of by my count 12 members who act as a media arm of the Blood Tribe and opaque organization in itself which seems to have grown out of the world of racist tattooing. The GDL’s rather flamboyant and boisterous antisemitism has found him ostracized from most hate group circles except for a small orbit around the Blood Tribe.

Patriot Front

The Patriot Front is another rather strange organization led by Thomas Rousseau a former member of Vanguard America a much more stout and explicitly racist in their ideology, group which collapsed after one of their members was wrapped up in a terrorist attack the day after Charlottesville. The organization formed and grew rather slowly but had bizarrely perfect branding. 

The Patriot Front is well known for its suspicious talent in design. The group uses the same symbols, has a strict dress code, a very functional and impressive website along with a very well done social media strategy and much more has led many on various sides to question the legitimacy of the group even alleging they are a kind of honeypot scheme for the far right and to cast a poor light on the moderate right. All allegations are unsubstantiated and the group seems to exist as an independent organization desperate to hide their racism and create the most digestible possible package without straying far from their ideological forerunner Vanguard America.

National Socialist Movement 

The National Socialist Movement or NSM for short is a rather unique organization that has gone through a wide variety of evolutions. The NSM has gone from a doctrinaire Nazi organization attempting to fill the gap Mathias Koehl left by dragging the former American Nazi Party deep underground turning it into a secretive cult. It then became under the now former member Jeff Schoep a slightly more polished and moderate very brand conscious organization with significant long standing factional problems, but when Schoep left the organization to a black lawyer who had befriended him Burt Colucci wrestled the organization away and turned it towards a much more messy and crude form of Nazism.

“Commander” Burt Colucci as he is known within the National Socialist Movement has taken the group in a new direction. He has ended the factionalism that plagued the group since the early 2000s but he performed that through seemingly throwing much of the organization far overboard as the ship sank and climbed into a lifeboat declaring they were still in the old ship.
