</div>
<p>The Unite the Right rally, which will take place in
Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12, 2017, looks like
it will be the largest White Nationalist rally in the
United States in more than a decade. Between 500 and
1,000 people are expected to participate, while up to
4,000 counter-protestors may come.</p>
<p>While there have been numerous Far Right rallies since
Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, this is the
first major one that is led by fascists and other White
Nationalists, which include Richard Spencer, Matthew
Heimbach, Mike Enoch, and Michael Hill. It is also the
third rally to be held in Charlottesville this year; the
first one, in May, was marked by a torchlight rally at
night, and was followed by a KKK march in July.</p>
<p>I have identified over thirty groups and prominent
individuals who will be speaking at or attending the
event, or have provided support for or endorsed it. This
list includes Alt Right and Alt Lite members,
neoconfederates, neonazis, racist pagans, Patriot
movement paramilitaries, and even a European neonazi
party. What follows is a scorecard of the Far Right
groups that have announced they will attend the event,
although undoubtedly many more will come.</p>
<h3>ORGANIZER</h3>
<p><strong>Jason Kessler (Unity and Security for America)</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_26029" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img

<p class="wp-caption-text">Jason Kessler writes on
Twitter, “#UniteTheRight opposes the demonization of
white people & their history. We oppose the
globalist plan to replace us w/ 3rd world
immigration.”</p>
</div>
<p>As Unite the Right’s main organizer, Kessler has filed
for the rally permits and has held several press
conferences. He is the president of the Far Right group
Unity and Security for America, and has written for the
White nationalist anti-immigration <em>VDARE</em>
website. He had written a <em>Daily Caller</em> story
praising the May Charlottesville rally. However, after
it was revealed that Kessler had also given a speech to
the protestors the same day, the website suspended their
relationship. Kessler promotes antisemitic and “White
genocide” conspiracy theories, and supports calls for a
White ethnostate.</p>
<p>On the <em>Political Cesspool</em> radio show, Kessler
said about Unite the Right: “the number one thing is I
want to destigmatize Pro-White advocacy…. I want a huge,
huge crowd, and that’s what we’re going to have, to come
out and support, not just the Lee Monument, but also
white people in general, because it is our race which is
under attack.”<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><sup>1</sup></a></p>
<h3>SPEAKERS</h3>
<p><strong>Richard Spencer (AltRight.com, National Policy
Institute)<br>
</strong>Spencer is the most visible Alt Right figure
and is usually credited with coining the term. The
leader of the intellectual wing of the movement, he has
been pivotal in remaking the image of White nationalism.
An advocate of “peaceful ethnic cleansing” and a White
ethnostate, Spencer is influenced by European unorthodox
fascist trends like the New Right and Identitarian
movement. Despite being firmly on the fascist wing of
the movement, his untraditional influences show, for
example, in his toleration of openly gay and lesbian
participants. In 2011 Spencer took over the National
Policy Institute (NPI) think tank and has held several
conferences in Washington. A supporter of Trump at the
time, at the NPI conference before the inauguration
Spencer gave a speech that ended with, “Hail Trump, hail
our people, hail victory!” Audience members sieg-heiled
in response. In 2017, Spencer founded a new website, <em>AltRight.com</em>,
along with others including Jason Jorjani and Swedish
fascist Daniel Friberg, both of whom work with Arktos
press.</p>
<p><em>AltRight.com</em> wrote about the rally, saying
“People will talk about Charlottesville as a turning
point. There will be a before Charlottesville and an
after Charlottesville. Will you stand up for your
history, your race and your way of life?”<a

<p><strong>Matthew Heimbach (Traditionalist Worker Party)</strong></p>

while attending Towson University. Photo: Flickr via

</div>
<p>Heimbach has founded and led several groups in
succession: a Youth for Western Civilization chapter and
a White Students Union (both at Towson University in
Maryland), and then the Traditionalist Youth Network and
its outgrowth, the Traditionalist Worker Party. He is
one of the three leaders of the racist umbrella group
the Nationalist Front, and is a member of the
neoconfederate League of the South. Now twenty-six,
Heimbach was the bright young thing of the White
Nationalist movement before the Alt Right, and despite
his orientation towards more traditional neonazi and KKK
groups, he portrays himself as a prominent figure in the
Alt Right. He is a tireless networker, with links to
groups like Greece’s neonazi Golden Dawn party, but is
also a controversial figure. He had been feuding with
Richard Spencer, but this apparently ended in April 2017
when Heimbach came to Alabama’s Auburn University to
help protect a talk Spencer gave. In July 2017 Heimbach
plead guilty to disorderly conduct for attacking a black
woman at a March 2016 Trump campaign rally in
Louisville, Kentucky.<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><sup>3</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Mike Enoch (<em>The Right Stuff</em>)</strong></p>
<p>Enoch (real name: Mike Peinovich) runs <em>The Right
Stuff</em>, a podcast platform which includes the <em>Daily
Shoah</em> show. <em>The Right Stuff</em> acts as
middle-ground between the intellectual and juvenile
trolling wings of the Alt Right. Enoch appeared with
Nationalist Front groups at the April 2017 rally in
Pikeville, Kentucky, and was at the May rally in
Charlottesville. He is also on the Board of Directors of
the Foundation for the Marketplace of Ideas. Enoch is
credited with popularizing the racist neologism “dindus”
as well as the antisemitic “echoes” symbol (where three
parentheses are placed around names of people thought to
be Jewish). Vehemently antisemitic, when he was doxed in
January 2017 it was revealed he lived in New York’s
wealthy Upper East Side neighborhood—with his Jewish
wife.<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><sup>4</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Michael Hill (League of the South)</strong></p>
<p>Hill is the founder and leader of the neoconfederate
League of the South. A former professor, he has the led
the group from having a base of support from
pro-Southern academics into a racist group with
paramilitary elements. Hill is also one of the three
leaders of the Nationalist Front. He will be the only
person speaking at Unite the Right with a PhD.<a
href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><sup>5</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Augustus Invictus (Fraternal Order of
Alt-Knights, American Guard)</strong></p>
<p>Invictus is a Florida lawyer who ran in the 2016
Libertarian Party primary for senate, hoping to take
Marco Rubio’s seat. Invictus is a Thelemite (occultists
in the tradition of Aleister Crowley), and the press has
a had a field day with that fact that he admits to
sacrificing a goat and drinking its blood. As a lawyer,
Invictus defended Marcus Faella of the American Front, a
Third Positionist skinhead group whose Florida chapter
was arrested and charged with illegal paramilitary
training; American Front members have hosted and
attended Invictus’s talks in the Pacific Northwest. He
has floated into Alt Right circles and, although he
denies being a white supremacist, he is unusually open
about his willingness to work with fascists. He is a
member of the American Guard, a Midwest-based Alt Right
group that accepts open White nationalists while
claiming the group itself are “constitutional
nationalists.” He also helped Based Stickman form the
Fraternal Order of the Alt Knights—a group designed to
engage in fights at demonstrations, and who are
affiliated with the Proud Boys.<a href="#_edn6"

<p class="wp-caption-text">Baked Alaska takes to Twitter
to promote the rally.</p>
</div>
<p>Tim “Treadstone” Gionet, aka “Baked Alaska,” is a
former <em>Buzzfeed</em> social media strategist who
has moved towards antisemitism, Islamophobia, and White
nationalism. He was Milo Yiannopoulos’s tour manager in
2016, but was uninvited to the Alt Lite
“Deploraball”—held in Washington, DC the night before
Trump’s inauguration—for his antisemitic tweets. Baked
Alaska apologized, but has since attacked Alt Lite
livestreamer Laura Loomer using blatant antisemitism,
and now promotes White supremacist ideas such as “the 14
words” and “White genocide” on Twitter.<a href="#_edn7"
name="_ednref7"><sup>7</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Pax Dickinson</strong><strong><br>
</strong></p>
<p>The most commercially successful of the crowd,
Dickinson worked at <em>Business Insider</em> until his
misogynistic tweets forced his departure. He later
worked at <em>Wesearchr</em>, a Far Right funding
platform. After a fallout there, he announced that he is
starting <em>Counter.Fund</em>, a new Far Right
crowdfunding site. However, the revelation that Peter
Belau, the site’s “first High Council appointee” is
Jewish, has caused neonazi stalwart Billy Roper to
denounce the Unite the Right gathering.<a href="#_edn8"
name="_ednref8"><sup>8</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Christopher Cantwell</strong></p>
<p>One of the minor league speakers tapped early on,
Cantwell hosts the <em>Radical Agenda</em> podcast. He
had worked with the <em>Cop Block</em> project, before
he—like an number of Alt Right members—moved from
libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism into the Alt Right
and sympathy with fascists. In a recent interview,
Cantwell said “let’s fucking gas the kikes and have a
race war.”<a href="#_edn9" name="_ednref9"><sup>9</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Johnny Monoxide</strong></p>
<p>The least-known of the speakers, Monoxide (aka Johnny
Ramondetta) is a White nationalist livestreamer who has
run different podcasts. Living in Berkeley, California,
Monoxide has livestreamed Identity Evropa events.<a

<h3>LEGAL SUPPORT</h3>
<p><strong>Foundation for the Marketplace of Ideas, Inc.</strong></p>
<p>Led by Kyle Bristow, this Michigan-based legal
non-profit was formed in 2016. He claims it is “quickly
becoming the legal muscle behind the alt-right
movement.” In April, Bristow successfully forced Auburn
University to host Richard Spencer’s talk. More
recently, Bristow has tried to block the Charlottesville
city government from moving the location of Unite the
Right out of a small park in the downtown area. The
group’s board of directors include Alt Right activist
Mike Enoch; William Johnson, the chairman of the White
nationalist American Freedom Party; and James Edwards,
who runs the White nationalist <em>Political Cesspool </em>radio
show.<a href="#_edn11" name="_ednref11"><sup>11</sup></a></p>

<h3>ATTENDEES</h3>
<p><strong><em>Daily Stormer</em></strong></p>
<p>Founded by Andrew Anglin, by July 2016 the site,
according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, “had
become the most popular English-language website of the
radical right, eclipsing the Stormfront site that had
held that position since the early days of the
Internet.” <em>Daily Stormer</em> (a pun on the 1930s
German Nazi party newspaper <em>Der</em><em> Stürmer</em>)
is the most prominent representative of the openly
neonazi wing of the Alt Right. In 2016, the Southern
Poverty Law Center said they have established thirty-one
on-the-ground groups, called “book clubs.” Staffers Lee
Rogers, “Azzmador,” “Zeiger,” and Ben Garland announced
they are going to Unite the Right. Rogers writes, “Daily
Stormer Book Clubs should do everything they can to get
their people out to this event. All readers of the Daily
Stormer should do the same.”</p>
<p>Another article<em> Daily Stormer</em> says, “this will
clearly be an earth-shaking day that will go down in the
history books. It can really only be explained as a
perfect storm. That everything has been leading up to
this. That our time has come. … It will be a monumental
turning point in the progression of our movement.
Everything will be different afterwards. … Next stop:
Charlottesville, VA. Final stop: Auschwitz.”<a
href="#_edn12" name="_ednref12"><sup>12</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights (FOAK)</strong></p>
<p>The “military wing of the Proud Boys,” this group was
founded in April 2017 by Based Stickman, with help from
Augustus Invictus. (Based Stickman was originally slated
as appearing at the rally, but it does not appear that
he will make an appearance.) On August 7 the FOAK
announced that will be come to Unite the Right.<a
href="#_edn13" name="_ednref13"><sup>13</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Brad Griffin (<em>Occidental Dissent</em>)</strong><br>
Griffin’s <em>Occidental Dissent</em> blog has been
heavily promoting Unite the Right. Griffin, who writes
as “Hunter Wallace,” is a member of the neoconfederate
League of the South. He also has been a board member of
the Council of Conservative Citizens, the group who was
the inspiration to Dylann Roof, the murderer of nine
black worshippers at a Charleston, South Carolina church
in 2015<em>.</em> Despite his neoconfederate views,
Griffin has come around to supporting the Alt Right.</p>
<p>In July, Griffin wrote:<strong> “</strong>I think
Charlottesville has the potential to be a breakthrough
moment in our activism. There is so much energy which
has been bottled up online over the past 15 years that
the dam is close to breaking. It is only a matter of
time before it finally spills over into the real world
and we are getting very close to that point.”<a
href="#_edn14" name="_ednref14"><sup>14</sup></a></p>
<p><strong><em>Identity Dixie</em></strong></p>
<p>A media outlet with a webpage and podcast called <em>Rebel
Yell</em>. It was started by <em>The Right Stuff</em>
in order to appeal to neoconfederates, and mixes
confederate and Nazi imagery.<a href="#_edn15"

<p class="wp-caption-text">Identity Evropa’s
advertisement for the rally.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Identity Evropa </strong></p>
<p>Founded in March 2016, Identity Evropa is one of two
fascist Alt Right groups who are oriented toward
recruiting men in their teens and early twenties. They
copy European Identitarian politics and are known for
sporting Richard Spencer-like “fashy” haircuts and
recruiting on campuses. They have been present at many
of the combative Far Right-organized street
demonstrations since the inauguration. Their leader,
Nathan Damigo, achieved internet notoriety for punching
a counter-protestor at a Berkeley rally in April 2017.
Damigo has previously led the Nationalist Youth Front,
the youth branch of the White nationalist American
Freedom Party. Identity Evropa also participated in the
May 2017 Charlottesville rally.</p>
<p>Damigo plans to be at Unite the Right; he says the
removal of Confederate monuments is part of a plan “to
sever us from our identity so that we will have nothing
left to gain strength and inspiration from to resist
their mass colonization. Join us, and push back against
the cultural Marxists their war on Whites.”<a
href="#_edn16" name="_ednref16"><sup>16</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>League of the South</strong></p>
<p>The League is a highly visible neoconfederate
organization, and promote an explicitly White
nationalist version of the Confederacy’s goal—southern
secession. Founded in 1994, they have been able to
attract thousands of members over the years, and have
created paramilitary elements. Their current popular
issue is their support for Confederate memorials and
flags<strong>. </strong>In April 2017 they joined the
Nationalist Front, and attended the Pikeville, Kentucky
rally alongside the Traditionalist Worker Party,
National Socialist Movement, and others.</p>
<p>The League’s founder and leader, Michael Hill, will
speak at Unite the Right. The group says, “This is an
event which seeks to unify the right-wing against a
totalitarian Communist crackdown, to speak out against
displacement level immigration policies in the United
States and Europe, and to affirm the right of
Southerners and White people to organize for their
interests just like any other group is able to do, free
of persecution.”<a href="#_edn17" name="_ednref17"><sup>17</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>National Socialist Movement</strong></p>
<p>The NSM is the prominent U.S. neonazi party. After
American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell was
assassinated in 1967, some of his followers latter
founded a group that eventually became the National
Socialist Movement. Lead by Jeff Schoep, they came into
prominence in 2004 and are known primarily for staging
high-profile public rallies. This included a 2005
Toledo, Ohio march that ended in rioting. In April 2016
they helped found the racist umbrella group Aryan
Nationalist Alliance (now the Nationalist Front), and
Schoep is one the group’s three leaders. Attempting to
mainstream itself in the atmosphere created by Trump, in
November 2016 the National Socialist Movement removed
the swastika from their flag, replacing it with an Odal
rune. In April 2017 they attended a large rally in
Pikeville, Kentucky, led by Heimbach. In July 2017, they
announced they would come to Unite the Right, saying
“This is a call to all NSM Members to be in
Charlottesville, and show our support for White History
and Heritage.” However, as of press time Schoep is not
listed as a speaker.<a href="#_edn18" name="_ednref18"><sup>18</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Nationalist Front<br>
</strong>A national umbrella organization of various
neonazi, fascist, Klan, and other groups. Founded in
April 2016 as the Aryan Nationalist Alliance, soon after
it changed its name and now has three leaders: Matthew
Heimbach (Traditionalist Worker Party), Jeff Schoep
(National Socialist Movement), and Michael Hill (League
of the South). Heimbach and Hill are speaking and all
three groups will attend the rally, along with Vanguard
America, a new member group who are Alt Right neonazis.
Especially with the addition of the National Socialist
Movement, Unite the Right has gained the aura of being a
Nationalist Front event.<a href="#_edn19"
name="_ednref19"><sup>19</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Stephen McNallen (Wotan Network)</strong></p>
<p>McNallen is the founder of the Asatru Folk Assembly, a
White nationalist Heathen group. (Heathens are pagans
who worship the traditional Norse and Germanic gods;
this religious tradition is favored by many White
nationalists, although many other Heathens are
anti-racist.) Recently McNallen has formed the openly
White nationalist Wotan Network, which is focused on
disseminating White nationalist Heathen memes. He said
he wants his appearance at Unite the Right to have a
large public impact.<a href="#_edn20" name="_ednref20"><sup>20</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Patriot Movement and the Militias</strong></p>
<p>The role of the Patriot movement and its
paramilitaries—which have appeared at numerous other
Trumpist street rallies—has been a hotly discussed topic
on social media. In the end, the optics of the rally
have become too neonazi looking for most to attend.
However, there are some exceptions.</p>
<p>The <strong>American Freedom Keepers</strong> are
mobilizing people to come. This group seems to be based
in Portland, Oregon; its members have participated in
different street actions. They are a split from another
group, the Warriors for Freedom. At an ultra-nationalist
demonstration in June 2017 in Portland Oregon, an
American Freedom Keeper made the news after he was
photographed assisting law enforcement in arresting a
counter-demonstrator. <a href="#_edn21"
name="_ednref21"><sup>21</sup></a> When contacted via
their website, the group did not deny it was organizing
its members to come.</p>
<p>The leader of the <strong>Pennsylvania Light Foot
Militia</strong> has also said he will bring his
group. He claims that they are “going to try to
coordinate with law enforcement.”<a href="#_edn22"
name="_ednref22"><sup>22</sup></a></p>
<p>Additionally, the social media posts of various
individual Patriot movement members, including III%ers
and members of APIII%, have said they will attend.</p>
<p><strong>Proud Boys<br>
</strong>An Alt Right group founded by Gavin McInnes,
who co-founded <em>Vice</em> media, but left in 2008.
McInnes is deeply misogynistic and Islamophobic, and has
called transgender people “gender niggers.” McInnes
denies being a White supremacist, and the group
describes itself as “western chauvinist.” The Proud Boys
allow people of color, Jews and gay men in their group.</p>
<p>McInnes has contributed to White nationalist
publications like <em>American Renaissance</em> and <em>VDARE</em>,
used White nationalist rhetoric like “White genocide,”
and has had White nationalist leaders on his show. White
supremacists like Mike Enoch brag about how close the
Proud Boys are to neonazism, going so far as to say that
those who won’t become White Nationalists are “Jewish,
they’re half-white, they’re mixed race or they have a
non-White girlfriend of [sic] wife.”</p>
<p>The Proud Boys are an international organization that
is explicitly violent; part of advancing in rank in
their organization requires members to fight with their
political opponents. They have been frequently seen at
the clashes over the last six months. In April 2017 the
formation of the Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights was
announced; it is described as the “military division of
the Proud Boys.” Proud Boys in the Canadian armed forces
were investigated after they disrupted a First Nations
ceremony.</p>
<p>Originally the Proud Boys website ran an article
denouncing “Unite the Right,” but it was taken down and
replaced with one saying “if a chapter or an individual
Proud Boy feels compelled to go, we encourage him to do
so.”<a href="#_edn23" name="_ednref23"><sup>23</sup></a></p>
<p><strong><em>Red Elephants</em></strong></p>
<p>A new Alt Right media platform known for their
livestreaming. They have promoted the violent DIY
Division, are alleged to have illegally livestreamed
inside of a courtroom, and were part of a July pro-Trump
provocation in downtown Berkeley. They have promoted
Unite the Right and are fundraising to send members
there.<a href="#_edn24" name="_ednref24"><sup>24</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Traditionalist Worker Party</strong></p>
<p>Led by Matthew Heimbach, the Traditionalist Worker
Party is an outgrowth of his Traditionalist Youth
Network. The group is both a predecessor to the Alt
Right as well as a participant in it, despite Heimbach’s
own orientation towards more traditional White
Supremacist organizing. The group is a founding member
of the Nationalist Front, and technically they are Third
Positionist: they seek a separate White ethno-state and
portray themselves as anti-capitalist. In April 2017
they organized a large rally in Pikeville, Kentucky,
which was attended by the National Socialist Movement,
the League of the South, Mike Enoch, and Vanguard
America. Traditionalist Worker Party member Matt Parrot
(who is Heimbach’s father-in-law), says the
Traditionalist Worker Party will be “welcoming and
supporting non-identitarian and non-White allies” at
Unite the Right. Elsewhere he says:</p>
<p>“There’s this impression that Unite the Right is a
White Nationalist event. This is false. Unite the Right
is a broad unity event for every single faction of the
right with the balls to stand and fight for our heritage
against a nightmare swarm of Marxist degenerates. It
just happens that only White Nationalists got the balls
to hold the line when the media tries to divide and
conquer.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, in a video promoting Unite the Right,
Heimbach claims a Jewish conspiracy is behind the
removal of the Confederate memorials, because “they want
to be able to destroy knowledge of the past so they, the
Jewish Power Structure, can try and control the future.”<a
href="#_edn25" name="_ednref25"><sup>25</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Unity and Security for America</strong></p>
<p>Founded by Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler, the
goal of this group “is to defend Western Civilization
including its history, culture and peoples while utterly
dismantling Cultural Marxism.” In addition to limiting
immigration (they want to require that “most immigrants
come from Western nations”), Unity and Security for
America advocate a strongly isolationist foreign policy.<a
href="#_edn26" name="_ednref26"><sup>26</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>Vanguard America</strong></p>
<p>An Alt Right neonazi group formed in 2016 and led by
Dillon Irizarry, they focus on recruiting men in their
teens and early twenties. They have been present at many
of the street rallies and clashes this year, and have
concentrated on campus-based recruiting. Originally
named the American Vanguard, after participating in the
April 2017 Pikeville, Kentucky rally, they joined the
Nationalist Front.<a href="#_edn27" name="_ednref27"><sup>27</sup></a></p>

David Duke advertises the Unite the Right rally on his
Twitter. The list of featured speakers includes many
notable white nationalists and fascists.</p>
</div>
<p><strong><em>American Renaissance</em></strong></p>
<p>Jared Taylor leads American Renaissance, which is both
a White nationalist publication and annual conference
with an intellectual approach. Matthew Lyons describes
it as<em> “</em>one of the movement’s central
institutions” which “pioneered a version of White
nationalism that avoided antisemitism.” Taylor has been
called the “father of the alt right” because of his
promotion of the notion of “race realism.”</p>
<p>In June 2017, antiracist activists claimed Taylor
attended a meeting with Kessler and others at a
Charlottesville restaurant, where Taylor disguised
himself in a wig and spoke in a fake French accent.
While no Unite the Right speakers were on the official
program of the July 2017 American Renaissance conference
in Tennessee, shortly thereafter Taylor made a <em>Periscope</em>
video promoting the rally. In it, he says the desire to
remove Confederate monuments is an “attack an all
Americans who think differently than the way we are
obliged today” and was an attempt to destroy “White
heritage.”<a href="#_edn30" name="_ednref30"><sup>30</sup></a></p>
<p><strong>David Duke</strong></p>
<p>Since so many White nationalists who lead the 1980s and
‘90s movement have died, Duke is moving into a position
as the movement’s preeminent elder statesman. Duke was a
neonazi in the 1970s and later the founder and leader of
the influential Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in the
1980s. Part of the faction that wished to mainstream the
Klan, he was elected as a Louisiana State Representative
in 1989. Duke is promoting Unite the Right on his radio
show and Twitter.<a href="#_edn31" name="_ednref31"><sup>31</sup></a></p>
